In today’s #YR recap, Jack shuts down Phyllis, and Nick slugs Matt, who mulls over whether to kill Noah.
Phyllis meets Billy at Crimson Lights and reminds him of her offer to get them the AI in exchange for Marchetti. He explains that Jack
decided to put her offer on the back burner to evaluate other options. She warns her offer won’t always be available. Billy admits no one trusts her and she insists she is only doing this for Summer.

Matt arrives at the overlook, smirking, and Nick demands an update on Sienna. Matt assures him she’s fine so long as this meeting goes well. If he called the cops or Victor’s goons, she’ll be dead. Nick offers a million dollars for Sienna and then Matt has to disappear or the cops will be the least of his worries. Matt brags about how he faked his death and reminds him that he has nothing left to lose. After
inflation, a million dollars isn’t what it used to be.Matt points out that he could have grabbed Noah and snaps his fingers: he could have put Noah down like that. Nick gut punches him and then smacks him in the face. Matt nearly goes over the edge as Nick says he’d be doing the world a favor by tossing him into the ravine for the animals to devour. Matt knows that Noah would never forgive him if he let Sienna die.
Laughing, he jokes he could throw himself over and leave Nick to take the blame.Nick urges Matt to take the deal and go hide under a rock. Matt says he’ll take the money. Once he’s out of the country, he’ll send them an offshore account number and let them know where Sienna is. Nick threatens to hunt him down if he crosses him. “You do this my way, or not at all,” Matt says, jogging off.
After Phyllis exits, Billy arrives and tells his brother that the redhead is their best option. He trusts Phyllis is doing what’s best by her daughter more than he trusts Nikki or Michael betraying Victor. Jack remains unconvinced, so his brother suggests they test all three options to see which works. His brother prods him again to confirm that they will destroy the AI if they get it back. Jack has an uncomfortably familiar feeling about what might be going on in his brother’s mind.
Phyllis goes to the Athletic Club and calls Michael, asking him to meet so she can run an idea by him.
Nick Asks Noah to Trust the Plan
Back at Sharon’s, she and Noah continue to argue about whether it’s possible to make a deal with Matt. She’s confident that saving his own skin will be Matt’s only priority. Nick arrives. He thinks Matt took the bait and Sienna is still alive. He tells his son they need to trust this and let things play out.

Matt Mulls His Next Move
Matt joins Annie at the motel. She has Sienna unconscious. He explains he negotiated a nice chunk of change with Nick, but he still hasn’t decided whether he will give Sienna back. The bigger question is whether he will let Noah live or not
