In the latest drama on *The Young and the Restless*,

Phyllis Summers, known for fiercely protecting her family,

finds herself drawn into a tumultuous battle involving her daughter Summer.

Despite their strained relationship, Phyllis had initially chosen to stay neutral as Summer and Kyle faced off in a bitter custody dispute over Harrison. She believed it crucial for them to navigate their own challenges and learn from the complexities of love and loss.

However, tensions reached a boiling point when Diane Jenkins, a longtime adversary of Phyllis, intervened on Kyle’s behalf, aiming to secure his victory in the custody battle. Diane’s involvement became the catalyst for Phyllis to take action. Seeing Diane manipulate the situation struck a raw nerve in Phyllis, who couldn’t bear the thought of someone who had caused her family so much pain meddling in such a critical matter.

Phyllis confronted Diane, demanding she stay out of the conflict and let Summer and Kyle resolve their own issues. The public perception, however, was less supportive of Summer’s cause, viewing her as overstepping by fighting for custody of Harrison, Kyle’s biological son. This public scrutiny made it challenging for Phyllis to rally support for her daughter, especially given their history of strained relations.

Yet, Phyllis’s decision to intervene wasn’t solely about supporting Summer—it was also driven by her deep-seated animosity towards Diane. Their bitter history fueled Phyllis’s determination to prevent Diane from further disrupting her family’s life. The renewed rivalry between Phyllis and Diane escalated tensions, adding fuel to the already intense custody battle.

As Genoa City buzzed with gossip and speculation, the conflict between Summer and Kyle intensified, now compounded by the clash between Phyllis and Diane. The entire town became captivated by the unfolding drama, eagerly awaiting the outcome of this high-stakes custody dispute.
