Elsewhere, Alan Laurent was seen reconnecting with Traci Abbott, alongside Diane and Jack Abbott. He proposed marriage to her, which she accepted.

The Young and the Restless: Phyllis seeks Billy's support

On Friday's episode, dated March 14, 2025, Phyllis Summers was rescued from her hostage situation by Billy Abbott and Nick Newman. While Nick took care of her co-hostage, Sharon Newman, Phyllis received attention from Billy. Billy even informed her that he had been looking for her.

In this situation, Phyllis Summers may feel emotionally connected to Billy after her ordeal. As such, Monday's episode will find Phyllis requesting that Billy get her started on the Abbott Communications project. While Billy may inform her that he kept her name out of the press release, assuming that she ditched him, Phyllis will forgive his faux pas under these extraordinary circumstances.

Before reconnecting with Billy Abbott, Phyllis will also meet her children, Summer Newman and Daniel Romalotti and fill them in with details about her captivity and rescue. On the other hand, Billy Abbott will meet his romantic partner, Sally Spectra and inform her about the drama surrounding the rescue. Sally may chide him on risking his safety for Phyllis.

The Young and the Restless: Traci has doubts about Alan

While The Young and the Restless fans know that Alan/Martin Laurent is behind Phyllis and Sharon's kidnap, others in Genoa City are clueless about it as of now. Fridays's episode found Traci Abbott looking into the notifications in Alan Laurent's phone.

On Monday's episode, Alan will possibly enquire why Traci is intruding into his privacy to which the latter may reply how too many notifications were disturbing her. However, with Traci catching more security breach alerts on Alan's phone, she may want to know what is going on with him.

Alan Laurent may respond snappily to Traci's well-meaning questions which may raise concerns for the newly engaged lady. However, Alan will likely apologize for his behavior, and the duo may discuss their wedding plans. Traci will possibly bring up Paris, which may seem like an exit route to Alan, AKA Martin.
