On April 21st, Phyllis Summers is in overdrive—buzzing on caffeine and practically cornering Daniel about joining Abbott Communications. Her manic energy overwhelms him, and when Billy joins in, Daniel checks out completely. Tension builds until Daniel storms off, leaving Phyllis desperate to reel him back. In the park, he confesses his inner turmoil—he doesn’t want this job. Phyllis, determined, insists it’ll give him purpose, but he’s unconvinced. Meanwhile, Billy’s plan begins to unravel. As Daniel wavers, Billy eyes Sally Spectra as a potential plan B—but she’s not biting.

As the week unfolds, Tessa offers Daniel a lifeline. Meanwhile, Billy pressures Sally, and Phyllis is ready to explode if Sally says yes. Nate delivers a critical medical update, Holden presses Audrey’s limits, and Victor hides shady secrets—including spying at Jabot.

April 24th kicks off May sweeps! Cole returns, Claire seeks guidance, and Diane unveils her dramatic renovation of the Abbott mansion. But will Jack be pleased—or resentful?

Lily grows increasingly suspicious of Audra’s motives—could she be scheming with Victor? As tension peaks, Claire may boldly move in with Kyle, igniting Victor’s fury. With Nikki backing her, a family showdown looms.
