In The Young and the Restless episode airing Monday, March 24, 2025, Phyllis Summers is

trapped in the depths of emotional turmoil as the trauma of her kidnapping resurfaces. Alone in her bedroom,

the haunting memories of her captivity return with relentless force. Every shadow reminds her of the psychological torment she endured, leaving her feeling vulnerable and out of control. Despite her attempts to suppress the pain, the memories keep flooding back, making it impossible for her to find peace.

Phyllis’s isolation is shattered when her loved ones refuse to leave her side. Nick Newman and their daughter, Summer Newman, are determined to break through the walls she has built. Despite Phyllis’s protests, Summer cannot stand to see her mother suffer alone. She knows that no matter how strong Phyllis appears, she needs the support of her family to overcome the trauma.

When Nick enters the room and sees Phyllis in distress, he immediately rushes to comfort her. As he holds her tightly, Phyllis breaks down in his arms, unable to hold back her tears. Through choked sobs, she pleads with him not to bring up the kidnapping, desperate to avoid reliving the nightmare. Nick says nothing—his quiet presence is the only reassurance she needs at that moment. Summer, standing nearby with tears in her eyes, recognizes that her mother needs time to process her pain before facing the harsh truths of what she endured.

Phyllis’s emotional breakdown reveals the depth of her inner struggle. She begs Nick to stop asking questions, fearing that confronting the reality of her experience will cause her to completely unravel. But as the intense emotions subside, Phyllis begins to regain a fragile sense of control. With tears still glistening on her face, she looks up at Nick with regret and softly apologizes, admitting, “I’m sorry—I don’t know what to do.”

While Phyllis leans on Nick and Summer for support, a long-standing tension remains unresolved. Her fraught relationship with Sharon Newman continues to weigh heavily on her mind. For years, Phyllis and Sharon have clashed—both personally and professionally—and the animosity between them has become a defining element of their lives. Despite her emotional vulnerability, Phyllis remains unwilling to let go of her resentment toward Sharon.

Nick, recognizing how much this unresolved conflict is affecting Phyllis, gently encourages her to consider reconciliation. “Maybe this is an opportunity to take a step forward,” he suggests. “Sometimes facing people you don’t like is the only way to overcome yourself.” Although his words are well-intentioned, Phyllis remains defiant. The memories of her bitter disputes with Sharon still ignite feelings of anger and frustration.

Determined to help Phyllis find peace, Nick decides to take action. He reaches for his phone and sends Sharon a message, inviting her to meet at Crimson Lights. He hopes that by bringing the two women face-to-face, they might finally begin to address the pain between them. Sharon, concerned about what Phyllis is going through, quickly agrees to the meeting.
