Cane and Billy attempt to reconnect over drinks on Y&R.

Cane (Billy Flynn) shocks Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) when he decides to cancel his ruthless takeover scheme.

But Cane’s decision doesn’t just stop Phyllis in her tracks — it sets off a chain reaction across Genoa City.

Nick realizes he needs to mend fences with Phyllis.
