The relationship between DANIEL ROMELOTTI and his mother, PHYLLIS, has reached a critical point. After discovering PHYLLIS is in cahoots with CAIN ASHB, DANIEL feels a dark premonition. During a haunting encounter in the park, PHYLLIS proudly showed off her new partnership, but a slip of the tongue sent a chill down DANIEL’S spine. PHYLLIS had accidentally revealed CAIN’S plot to take over all the major companies in Genoa City!

“You need to stay away from Cain,” DANIEL warned, his voice urgent. “He’s not someone you can control.” But PHYLLIS stubbornly ignored him, convinced she was in control. DANIEL didn’t give up, pointing out that her actions would hurt loved ones like NICK, LILY, and SUMMER. He even chillingly predicted that her plan would “blow up” and that she would “get burned” in a way she’s never faced before. Despite DANIEL’S desperate pleas and tearful warnings, PHYLLIS remained convinced she could turn the situation around, blindly walking down a road of no return.

She’s not the person he thinks she is.” CLARE continued, her voice now firm, “Once Nate is back from Chicago, I’ll make sure he knows exactly who Audra is. That girl is nothing more than a venomous snake, and it’s time someone told him the truth.”

With lines drawn and battle plans forming, Genoa City is set to explode. Each player knows their position, but no one can foresee how this destructive game will ultimately unfold.
