Spoiler alert! This article contains “The Young and the Restless” spoilers. Read on if you would like to know what happens next before the next episode airs.

Phyllis Abbot (Gina Tognoni) is beginning to exhibit behaviour that Jack Abbot (Peter Bergman) will find puzzling. Something fishy apparently happens as Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) catches Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). Lastly, Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) opens up with a shocking confession.

Phyllis' puzzling behaviour is actually no spoiler at all since she has been upsetting every character -- and the viewers -- with her unpredictable behaviour since time immemorial. This time, however, she just bec omes increasingly intolerable. In response, Jack turns to his sister Ashley Abbot (Aileen Davidson) to help him with what he is currently going through.

Kevin will find out that Mariah intercepted his flowers to Chloe, which leads the two to a face off, Celeb Dirty Laundry reveals. The heaviest part of the episode, however, appears to be Chloe’s ground shaking revelation.

She has been heavily pressured by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and his threats about Bella , so she gives in with the journal pages. Victor , then, gets ready to use them not only to prove Adam Newman (Justin Hartley) innocent, but to frame someone else. Chloe then confesses to Chelsea that she has not let go of the anger but it never crossed her mind how her issues were affecting anyone other than herself.

“The Young and the Restless” airs on CBS every Monday to Friday in the US. It also airs on Arena in Australia.
