Weekly Recap

Monday, February 9, 2026 — Episode #13311

Victor (Eric Braeden) called Cane’s (Billy Flynn) bluff and proved he was still ten steps ahead in their escalating war over Newman Enterprises. Armed with a photo of Lily (Christel Khalil) and the twins, Victor convinced Cane that his family was safe but firmly under control, forcing Cane to consider surrendering the company. Cane raged privately, but the pressure mounted.

Meanwhile, Claire (Hayley Erin) kept her true agenda hidden from Holden (Nathan Owens) while they were in Los Angeles. Though she claimed she wanted distance from Genoa City drama, she quietly pursued information tied to Cane’s situation. Back in town, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) kept a careful eye on Nick (Joshua Morrow), worried about his injury, his temper, and how far their father’s scheme might spiral.

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 — Episode #13312

Victor summoned Nick, Victoria, and Adam (Mark Grossman) to the ranch for what he framed as a strategic family summit. He revealed just enough about his deal with Lily to keep them invested but withheld critical details, maintaining control of the narrative. The tension was palpable as the siblings questioned what their father had promised in exchange for cooperation.

Across town, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Billy (Jason Thompson) quietly laid the groundwork to double-cross Cane. As Cane prepared to hand Newman Enterprises back to Victor to secure his family’s safety, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) saw an opportunity. She pitched Billy on a bold betrayal that would leave both Cane and Victor reeling. Meanwhile, Sharon (Sharon Case) was consumed with guilt over Mariah’s breakdown and kidnapping of Dominic, blaming herself for not seeing the warning signs sooner.

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 — Episode #13313

Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Devon (Bryton James) followed a promising lead west after Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) tracked Mariah’s (Camryn Grimes) movements toward Albuquerque. Desperate to end the nightmare, they boarded the Winters jet with Sharon and prepared for a confrontation.

On the road, Mariah was forced to pivot when Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark) began pushing back against her fantasy of a new life. His pleas to go home rattled her fragile resolve. When Sharon reached her at the border and gently intervened, Mariah’s plan collapsed. Dominic was safely reunited with Abby and Devon, while Mariah was taken into custody, devastated but no longer alone.

Thursday, February 12, 2026 — Episode #13314

Victor made a shocking discovery when he found Cane unconscious in his train car, the unmistakable scent of chloroform lingering in the air. Realizing Phyllis had made her move, he understood he’d been outplayed, at least temporarily.

At Newman Enterprises, Victoria walked in on Billy and Phyllis celebrating their takeover. She quickly grasped that Chancellor had been transferred to Billy and Newman Media to Sally (Courtney Hope). Furious, Victoria confronted Billy and warned him that his actions could cost him his children’s respect. Meanwhile, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) confided in Jack (Peter Bergman), admitting how far Victor had gone and how frightened she was of what his obsession might destroy.

Friday, February 13, 2026 — Episode #13315

Billy went all out to impress Sally on Valentine’s Day, decorating their apartment with roses and champagne. He believed revealing that Chancellor was now his and Newman Media was hers would thrill her. Instead, Sally was shaken by the ruthless way it had happened and questioned the future they were building.

Elsewhere, Adam took the opportunity to romance Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), setting aside corporate chaos to focus on their relationship and Connor’s milestones. In Los Angeles, Noah (Lucas Adams) went the extra mile for Sienna (Tamara Braun), following her and declaring his love. He refused to let distance or doubt dictate their fate, determined to prove their story wasn’t over.
