Phyllis Summers of The Young and the Restless woke up recently from her accident-induced coma. The patient received the good news about her son, Daniel's exoneration, and had her granddaughter, Lucy, by her bedside to add to her happiness.
While she ranted about Sharon being responsible for her accident, spoilers suggest she remembered something that may change the course of the investigation against Sharon.
The soap's longtime fans know about the decades-old feud between Phyllis and Sharon on The Young and the Restless. The long-running American daily soap, which premiered in March 1973, is set in the fictional Genoa City and revolves around the town's various resident families.
Some prominent families include the Newmans, the Abbotts, the Chancellors, the Winters, and the Baldwin-Fishers. Both Phyllis Summers and Sharon Newman are connected to the Newman family because of their past marriages to Nick Newman at different times.

The Young and the Restless: Phyllis's memory teases a plot twist
On The Young and the Restless episode which aired on Thursday, November 21, 2024, Phyllis woke up after her accident to find that all charges against Daniel had been dropped. Daniel was out on bail, being charged with Heather Stevens's murder after the evidence pointed to him.
Phyllis's accident drove a guilt-ridden Sharon Collins-Newman to accept planting the evidence to frame Daniel. She also confessed to killing Heather. While she neither remembered killing nor driving her car to collide with Phyllis, she wondered whether she caused Phyllis's accident.
Although Phyllis Summers was relieved that her son was free, she also chastised the police-in-charge, Chance Chancellor, for not taking action on Sharon earlier. She had been insisting on Sharon's guilt for some weeks now. Moreover, she insisted Sharon was responsible for her accident besides Heather's death, which the latter confessed to.
However, The Young and the Restless spoilers hint at Phyllis remembering flashes from her accident and she was seen uttering, "No". She may have remembered receiving a slew of text messages from Sharon's phone and getting angry. She may also remember getting distracted and looking at the phone.
Before the accident, she looked up as strong headlights flashed onto her. She may have seen the car coming at her or even the driver of the colliding car.
Going by the promo teaser, Phyllis possibly remembered something that did not go with her idea of Sharon trying to run her off the road. Hence, the negative reaction.
What is the likely twist in The Young and the Restless's plot?
As the spoiler teased, Phyllis likely remembered something from the accident that does not agree with the accepted idea of Sharon being responsible for the accident. As of writing the article, what Phyllis remembered is unclear.
It may be the make of the vehicle that collided with her car, and that it was not Sharon's car. Alternatively, Phyllis may have glimpsed the driver, and that was not Sharon.
Whatever Phyllis may remember, she is not likely to expose the information anytime soon for fear of exonerating her longtime rival, Sharon. She may want to investigate on her own as she has been adept at digging out details in the past.
Moreover, the investigation into Phyllis's accident by the police department is yet to unravel the mystery of the text messages.

Faith Newman may inform her father, Nick, about her mother looking for the lost phone and leaving for home in search of the same. This incident coincides with the timeline of Phyllis receiving messages from Sharon's phone. This information may take Nick and Sharon's daughters into their own line of investigation.
As The Young and the Restless audience knows, Ian Ward and Jordan Howard have a hand in all these crimes. As they try to cause more harm, they are likely to get exposed in the future storyline.
