Genoa City is shaken to its core as The Young and the Restless delivers one of the most shocking twists of the year. What should have been a joyful celebration for Christine Williams turns into a chilling nightmare when the bride mysteriously disappears just hours before her wedding ceremony. While her family and friends scramble for answers, a horrifying truth begins to surface—Phyllis Summers may be behind the disappearance.

The day begins beautifully, with Christine preparing for a fresh chapter in her life. She is surrounded by familiar faces, heartfelt wishes, and the promise of happiness after years of complicated relationships and emotional battles. But as the final preparations unfold, Christine suddenly vanishes without a trace. Her hairdresser finds her dressing room empty, her phone left behind, and the back door slightly ajar. Panic spreads instantly.

Paul, Danny, Nina, and Lauren launch a frantic search, believing Christine has cold feet or a medical emergency. Yet nothing adds up. Christine would never disappear without telling someone. But as investigators comb through the building’s security footage, a jaw-dropping detail emerges—Phyllis Summers was in the corridor only minutes before Christine vanished.

Phyllis has been spiraling for months. Her obsession with Danny, her resentment toward Christine, and her fear of being pushed out of Genoa City’s inner circle have created a dangerous cocktail of jealousy and desperation. Though she vowed to change, deep down Phyllis still burns with a rage that refuses to stay buried. The thought of Christine marrying and moving on—possibly closer to Danny once more—was too much for her fragile pride to handle.

What viewers soon discover is even more disturbing. Phyllis allegedly lured Christine into a quiet corner of the venue under the pretense of wanting to apologize and offer a truce. But instead, she confronted her with a torrent of accusations, claiming Christine had sabotaged her chances at happiness for years. The argument escalated, and in a moment of emotional volatility, Phyllis grabbed Christine and forced her into a waiting car parked behind the building.

Now, as the wedding guests anxiously wait with no explanation, Phyllis drives Christine to an abandoned property on the outskirts of town. Christine is conscious but terrified, tied to a chair while Phyllis spirals into a rambling monologue about betrayal, redemption, and revenge. She insists she never meant to harm Christine, only to “delay the wedding long enough” for Danny to realize he still has feelings for her. But as Christine pleads to be released, Phyllis’s grip on reality slips even further.

Back at the venue, Danny becomes frantic. He senses immediately that something is terribly wrong. When Paul informs him of the security footage, Danny’s entire face collapses in horror. He knows exactly what Phyllis is capable of when she’s pushed past her breaking point. Without waiting for police backup, Danny rushes out to search for Christine himself, determined to bring her home safely before the unthinkable happens.

Meanwhile, Sharon, Nick, and Summer—who has been struggling to accept her mother’s deteriorating behavior—are left grappling with what this incident means for Phyllis’s future. Summer breaks down in tears, terrified her mother is heading toward a point of no return. Nick tries to comfort her, but even he fears Phyllis may have finally gone too far to be redeemed.

As tension builds, Christine gathers her courage and attempts to reason with Phyllis, reminding her that violence and manipulation have only ever destroyed her relationships. For a moment, Phyllis appears conflicted, torn between rage and guilt. But whether she releases Christine or chooses a darker path remains a mystery.

The next episodes promise emotional mayhem, a desperate rescue mission, and consequences that will echo through Genoa City for years. Has Phyllis destroyed her last chance at redemption? Will Christine survive this terrifying ordeal? And will the wedding ever happen?

Stay tuned—The Young and the Restless is just getting started.
