Learning that Phyllis and Nick had an affair, Summer used that to get money out of her father. When the affair was publicly exposed, Billy was so furious with Phyllis that he took revenge by sleeping with Summer!
But afterwards, he made it crystal clear he was just trying to hurt both women. Escaping the drama by moving to Dubai, Summer returned in January and immediately began causing drama between Kyle and his new girlfriend, Lola Rosales. Summer tried to steal Kyle by offering him sex, something Lola was holding out on. After Lola was seriously injured and required a liver transplant, Summer was the only viable donor.
Summer then began dating Theo Vanderway and tried using him to make Kyle jealous. Eventually, Kyle realized that he was better with Summer and split up with Lola. Summer and Kyle teamed up to sabotage Theo at Jabot and got him fired. As Lola and Theo began a relationship together, Kyle and Summer decided to also take things slow, choosing to move in together and keeping their engagement secret. However, even as Theo and Lola split up, Kyle and Summer decided to elope, but that proved to be too much too soon for Summer, who backed out at the last minute, needing to figure things out.
After a trip to L. Summer soon found herself feeling like the third wheel and decided to postpone their wedding so he could deal with the custody battle. Summer tearfully starts crying that she killed Austin, but Noah and Fen refuse to believe it. Courtney bags the bookend for evidence.
Summer starts hyperventilating and Abby, Noah, and Fen try to calm her down. Courtney says Summer couldn't have gotten Austin into the closet, so Kevin implies that someone may have helped her. Fen snaps at his uncle, and Mariah tells Fen not to get mad at Kevin when this is his fault for drugging them. Abby takes Summer out of the room to calm her down. Everyone including Mariah and Courtney decides to make it look like Austin's death was an accident.
Summer is against the cover-up but reluctantly goes along with it. Fen goes to set up the cover-up. He comes back and announced that Austin's body is gone. Summer is hopeful that Austin may still be alive.
Noah goes to look for Austin, and the police arrive and ask what happened. Kevin covers and says he fell off the ladder, but he is fine. They say Austin went to look for help and never came back.
The group is taken back to Genoa City where they give statements. Noah leaves after hearing about a collapse at the Underground. Mariah and Fen sit with Summer in the interrogation room. Summer is panicking and Mariah tells Fen to get Summer under control because she isn't going down for something she didn't do.
Summer continues to freak out, and Mariah loses her patience with Summer. She tells Summer that this isn't just about her anymore and that they are all in trouble if the truth comes out. Summer shoots back that this was Mariah's idea, and that she didn't ask her to do this. Mariah scoffs that she did this for Austin, and not for Summer.
Paul comes in and announces that Austin has been located and that he is fine. They see someone, wrapped in a blanket coming towards them. Summer runs to the figure only to discover that it is Kyle.
Paul asks Kyle what he is doing out there, and Kyle says that his car stalled. Mariah and Kevin immediately wonder if Kyle had been the one who moved Austin's body, and even wonder if he had been the one who murdered Austin. Summer is appalled at the idea, but Mariah and Kevin want to investigate Kyle's car.
They find a piece of fabric sticking out from the trunk. Mariah and Kevin want to open the trunk, but Summer is against the idea. Noah arrives and agrees with Mariah and Kevin on opening the trunk.
Mariah procures Kyle's keys and unlocks the trunk. In Kyle's trunk, they find a flashlight and first aid kit. Mariah admits she expected to find Austin's body instead, and Summer goes off on Mariah for thinking the worst of Kyle. Mariah tries to explain what she meant, but Summer carries on, and Mariah angrily tells Summer that they are on the same side. Kevin finds a bloody cloth in the trunk, and Noah suggests they have Courtney look at it.
Mariah doesn't trust Courtney and is worried she would sell them out. They head to the hospital to confront Kyle about what they found. Abby wonders why Kyle would cover this up, and Mariah says there is no telling what someone would do to protect the person they love. Noah says he remembers seeing Kyle outside of the Abbott cabin, and Kyle denies that he was there.
Kevin asks about the bloody cloth, and Kyle says he had a boxing match before he came home. Kyle asks why does he feel like he is being accused of something, and then asks what really happened to Austin.
Abby thinks they should tell Kyle, but Mariah says that too many people already know. An officer comes by to talk to Summer, and while that is happening out of the room, the group tells Kyle how they think Summer killed Austin, and they staged it to look like an accident.
Summer comes back and says that Austin's body was found in a wrecked car. Abby wonders if Austin could have survived and died by crashing an abandoned car but Mariah brings up that Austin had no pulse. Summer is asked to identify the body, and the group stays in the waiting room. After Summer identifies Austin's body, she heads to the chapel to mourn him. After a while, Kyle goes to check on her. Summer tells him she is glad he came to check on her. Kyle tells Summer he wishes he got back sooner, and Summer says this isn't his fault.
Kyle stays with Summer at her place all night, and is there to comfort her when she first wakes up. After Phyllis hear about Austin's death, she comes over to comfort Summer. Kyle suggests doing a memorial to say good-bye to Austin. Summer says she doesn't think she could go through with it, and Phyllis tells Summer she will take care of everything. After Summer goes back to sleep on the couch, Phyllis questions Kyle on the timing of his arrival.
Summer watches a video of her and Austin on her laptop. After Summer had left the room in the video, Austin turned to the cam area and said he owed Summer an apology. Austin had said how he was depressed and needed to tell Summer something, but Summer had come back before he could make his confession. Summer left the room and when she came back, she saw Abby on the video at Crimson Lights. Summer wondered why Austin would have a video of Abby, and Noah said it was for a documentary he was doing about Victor and Jack.
Summer said she didn't remember hearing about that, and then cried that she was a horrible wife for not remembering everything Austin had told her; Noah comforted her. At Austin's memorial, Summer remembers waking up and seeing Austin arguing with someone. She soon remembers it is Abby, and after giving her eulogy, remembers hearing Abby telling Austin that their affair is over.
Stunned, Summer furiously accuses Abby of sleeping with Austin. Summer rages at Abby, who runs out of the church in tears. Mariah calls Kyle out on knowing about the affair. Summer asks Kyle if he knew, and he reluctantly admits he did. Summer rages at Kyle, and wants to know who else knew about the affair. Summer asks Mariah if she knew because of her and Abby's private talk at the cabin.
Mariah confirms she knew and Summer surmises Kevin knew as well. She continues to have a meltdown, and Jack and Phyllis order everyone out of the church. Kyle tries to explain himself, but Jack tells him not here. Once Summer is alone, she rages at Austin's casket. Nick and Phyllis hear Summer, and advise her that she should go. Summer cries that this is all her fault. Nick and Phyllis assure her it isn't, and Summer runs out of the church. Courtney tells Summer that she didn't kill Austin, and Kevin and Noah say the blood on the towel was Austin's.
Kyle explains that he punched Austin, but Mariah and Noah are still skeptical because he lied about the blood being Austin's and also lied about being in town. Kyle's explains that he wanted solid proof before he told Summer about the affair. Abby comes out of the backroom, and Summer charges at Abby.
Noah holds her back, and Abby runs out of the cabin. After everyone else leaves, Kyle tries to comfort Summer by assuring her that she deserves better than Austin, and Summer tells him she doesn't want to talk about Austin.
Kyle asks Summer to let him help her through this and assures her he isn't going anywhere. Summer opens the armoire and sees Austin in the reflection, but when she turns around, he isn't there. Summer suddenly flashes back to her confronting Austin about his affair. Austin had grabbed her, and Summer screamed for him to let go of her. Kyle snapped we out of it since she was actually screaming.
Summer told him what she remembered and Kyle pushed her to remember more. Summer eventually remembered confronting Austin with the bookend, but then dropping it while he was still alive. Summer is relieved to realize she did not kill Austin. Abby showed up at the cabin and tried to apologize to Summer. Abby swore she would do whatever she had to do to make it up to Summer, but Summer slaps Abby and vows to never forgive her for sleeping with Austin.
Kyle and Summer are having coffee at Crimson Lights, and Kyle advises Summer not to let her anger towards Abby consume her. Summer gets out her compact mirror and finds a message written on it that says, "I saw what you did" Summer sends everyone involved a text and asks her to meet them at the Abbott Cabin.
Once everyone involved is at the cabin, Summer shows them the message on her mirror and accuses Abby of doing it. Abby swears she didn't do it, but Mariah and Summer continue to accuse Abby of lying, and she leaves in frustration. Kyle goes after Abby, and the group continues to wonder who is watching them, and leaving the messages.
Noah thinks it is convenient that Fen left town shortly after Austin's death. Kevin says he has school, and is trying to get his life back in order. Mariah asks if drugging them part of his rehab program. Summer says she knows, and Fen he wouldn't do it. Mariah says she also thought she knew Austin and is a bad judge of character when it comes to men. Summer and Mariah start fighting about Austin and accusing each other of writing the messages.
It escalates, and Kevin and Noah have to pull them apart. Courtney says they should go to the police, but Mariah, Kevin, and Noah are against the idea. Mariah says she isn't going to jail to protect Summer, and Summer says that she never asked for her help.
Mariah snaps that she would turn her in if she could, and Kevin tells them to shut up. Kevin shares his theory that someone has been planning this set up for a long time, and Summer wonders who would want to kill Austin. Suddenly, the group hears a noise and rushes out to hear the sound of someone running away. Summer feels they should go to the police and Mariah says she is the reason they didn't go to the police.
Summer says she doesn't think she killed Austin and tells them what she remembered. Despite Kevin and Mariah's objections; Summer, Noah, and Courtney leave to tell the police, but they find Abby unconscious in Chancellor Park, and message written on her cellphone: "Shut up or you're next".
Courtney calls the paramedics and police. Abby is taken to the hospital, and everyone waits with her. Kyle shows up, and Noah asks where he was. Summer defends Kyle, reminding Noah that they are in this together. Kevin decrypts a file on Austin's computer, where he spoke with such hatred about the Newman and Abbott families and promised to reveal all about them.
The group figures that someone from the Newman or Abbott families could have had Austin killed. Kyle says Jack isn't a murderer, and Summer says Victor wouldn't do something so horrible, and they don't know him. Mariah points out that Victor hired her to gaslight a mentally ill woman Sharon , so she knows him pretty well.
Mariah continues to taunt Summer about how she didn't really know Austin, and Summer says Mariah will never know the kind of love she and Austin had. They soon find out from Stitch that Abby had told him all the details of Austin's death. Kevin questions Stitch, and he is offended by the idea that they think he had something to do with Austin's death.
Stitch says he didn't really know Austin other than when Austin asked to interview him, and Stitch said no. Kevin later finds out that was a lie, and finds a file of Austin trying to interview Stitch. She happily reported to Noah that she and Nick were getting along. Summer snarled that Nick was only being nice to Sharon because of Faith. Sharon tells Summer she hopes someday Summer can forgive her and says she misses having Summer in her life.
She becomes even more suspicious of Sharon when Sharon is caught trying to take Austin's computer and admits she wanted to erase an interview she did with Austin where she trash-talked Nick and the Newmans. Summer continues to believe Sharon is guilty, but Mariah and Kevin are adamant that Sharon didn't do it. Noah and Courtney get engaged and plan to get married soon after. Summer helps Courtney get ready for her wedding, but then Courtney remembers she forgot her marriage certificate at the GGPD.
The wedding guests all wait for Courtney to show up, but instead, they get a text from Courtney to come to the Abbott cabin. Once they get there, they find that Courtney is dead, and decide to finally phone the police.
Phyllis was furious with Nick that he kept this secret for all those years and compared him to Adam Adam stole Nick and Sharon's daughter, Faith, after she was born and made Ashley believed it was her daughter she had miscarried. Fearing of how Summer would react if she'd found out that not only was Jack her father, but that her crush was her brother, Phyllis takes Kyle to Chicago and tried coming on to him and even discreetly called Summer with Kyle's phone discussing how he was checking out the women during the conference.
Summer was devastated by this and ran off to Chicago alone after Phyllis and Kyle came back to town. Nick eventually found her and revealed the truth about her paternity while at the same time, Phyllis confessed to Jack about Summer being his daughter. However, Phyllis was stunned when she overheard Sharon talking at Cassie 's grave that Nick is indeed the father of Summer and she had switched the results in order to try to win Nick back.
Sharon ran after Phyllis to Victor's foundation for multiple sclerosis. Phyllis threatened to tell Jack and Nick everything and tried calling Jack, but Sharon interfered.
The two women fought over the cell phone, but Phyllis lost her balance and fell down a flight of stairs, knocking her unconscious after striking her head on the concrete floor. Phyllis is found by Avery and Nick and rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a blood clot on her brain, requiring surgery. After the surgery was successful, Phyllis briefly wakes up with Jack at her side, but is unable to talk.
She then has a panic attack and seizes after seeing Sharon standing at the door. The seizure causes Phyllis to relapse into a coma and diagnosed with a bruised brain. Kurt Costner informs Phyllis' family and friends that she may never regain consciousness again.
Daniel shows up at the hospital and requests to have his mom move to an experimental facility in Georgia that might help her recover quicker. Jack, Summer, and Avery are against this idea of the fact that she'll be far away from everyone, but they are eventually convinced by Nick and Daniel that if it'll help Phyllis recover, they will let her go. Before leaving for Georgia, Jack goes to Phyllis' room and puts his engagement ring on her finger, promising that he will wait for her when she comes home.
While Phyllis was in her coma, she was visited at times by Avery, Jack, and Summer. When Avery and Nick broke up, Avery hoped that telling Phyllis would wake her up. Phyllis' hand moved, but she didn't wake up. When Jack moved on with Kelly, he said good-bye to Phyllis.
Summer brought her new husband, Austin Travers , to see Phyllis. After secretly getting Summer to sign the papers, Victor has the doctor inject Phyllis with the drug, hoping it'll wake her up. While at a memorial service to commemorate the. Victor then flies down to Georgia and sits bedside next to Phyllis, hoping she will wake up and give him the information he wants. On August 29, after being comatose for 13 months, Phyllis finally wakes up.
However, she appears to be catatonic as she has not said or done anything since awakening. Victor continues to ask Phyllis questions about what happened to her the night of her accident and shows her a picture of Sharon, thinking it would get her to refresh her memory. But Phyllis remains still the entire time. Victor then shows her a photo of Summer, saying that she misses her mom and needs her.
When Victor walks out of the room, Phyllis stares at the photo and quietly utters the word "Summer. At the same time as Nick proposes to Sharon, Phyllis wakes up, screaming.
She stares at a photo of Jack and eventually escapes from the hospital, stumbling out onto the highway hitchhiking a ride back to Genoa City. A man picks her up asking her where she's heading to, but she says nothing. The man that begins flirting with her and puts his hand on her legs. She then ambushes him and gets out. She sees a sign saying Genoa City is another miles away; she sticks her thumb out again hoping for another ride. Phyllis arrives in The Abbott house and rushes upstairs waiting for a woman who is Jack's new girlfriend, Kelly Andrews , to leave the apartment.
After she does, Phyllis comes down and finds an invitation to Nick and Sharon's wedding with the information on it. Summer arrives in Nick's house when nobody is home and writes "Nick" on a slip of paper but doesn't continue writing the note.
On Nick and Sharon's wedding day, Phyllis takes a white wedding gown out of her closet. Just as she's about to get out the door, a police officer stands in front of her ready to arrest her for the assault of the driver. Phyllis stated he did nasty things to her and she didn't want to be taken advantage of and convinced him the man was guilty.
At Nick and Sharon's wedding,just before they were about to get married, Phyllis busted through the doors and shocked everybody! As Phyllis walked down the aisle, Summer was in tears and hugged her mother. Phyllis fainted and everybody rushed to her rescue. Kelly saw how much Jack still cared about Phyllis. Sharon left the church.
When Phyllis awoke, Summer got to talk with her. Phyllis then talked to Avery and then Jack. She questioned Jack why he wouldn't let her come home but Jack claimed she needed to rest.
Nick asked Phyllis if she knows something Sharon's told her. Sharon showed up to ask Phyllis about the secret Phyllis might know about her that could potentially hurt Nick.
The next day, Summer took off her wedding ring and introduced Austin to Phyllis as her friend. Austin was angry at Summer and Summer claimed they can't give Phyllis a whole lot of new information right now.
Kelly felt out of place. Kelly felt guilty and when Jack returned home, she had her bags packed ready to leave. Jack was persistently trying to convince her to stay with her and eventually she stayed the night.
Jack woke up the next morning next to a note from Kelly that she had left. Phyllis woke up and remembered that Jack proposed to her before her fall and wanted to retrieve the ring she pawned for money to return to Genoa City.
Jack told her she needed rest and Phyllis questioned why wouldn't he let her return home. Jack called Kelly when she was at the Athletic Club to come to Jabot to see him. Kelly arrived in Jack's office and saw the ring on the table and thought it was for her. Jack was speechless and she realized it's for Phyllis and apologized. Jack kissed Kelly passionately and chose her to be with.
He promised to break the news to Phyllis. Summer took off her wedding ring and introduced Austin to Phyllis as her friend. Phyllis finally returned home to the Abbott Mansion where she was greeted by Summer and Austin whom she had met in the hospital. Phyllis asked Summer why she's so close to her tall, handsome, male friend. Summer told Phyllis that her and Austin were engaged in which Phyllis was enraged.
Phyllis claimed Summer is only 18 who should be living her life. Summer corrected that she's in fact Phyllis asked how long they've been together and Austin stated last spring which Phyllis didn't agree with! Austin was still upset that Summer wouldn't tell Phyllis the truth. Ashley dropped the bomb asking Phyllis how she likes her new son-in-law when Phyllis wasn't told Summer was married because the doctor told her family not to drop all the events of the last year on her all at once.
Ashley claimed she was sorry for dropping the bomb on her like that. In the mean time, Jack hid all the technology in the house so Phyllis couldn't read up on what she missed.
Phyllis cracked the password by figuring it was Summer's birth date. While, Jack, Austin, and Summer were over at the mansion again, Phyllis angrily blurted out that Summer married a felon! Phyllis was derogatory towards Austin and furious. Phyllis was spiteful towards him for holding her sister at gunpoint and shooting Paul Williams at the wedding!
Summer fired back by saying Austin's not the only one in this room who almost killed Paul Williams. Phyllis mandated on having this marriage annulled but Summer and Austin convinced her otherwise. Austin apologized to Phyllis for his past and Phyllis tried to negotiate forgiveness if he informed her on what she missed in the last year.
Austin couldn't do that since he'd be going against Jack, Summer's fake father, if he did that. After Nick, Noah, and Mariah left for the church; Phyllis showed up and took Sharon to the spot where she fell.
Sharon finally remembered everything. When Victor, Jack, and Nick showed up; Sharon tearfully admitted she had switched the results of Summer's paternity test and that Nick was Summer's biological father. Nick was furious with Sharon and vowed to never forgive her. Things got worse for Sharon when Nick told her he was suing her for full custody of Faith, so Sharon hired David Sherman to represent her.
Summer and Nick were upset with Sharon but also with Phyllis who only cared about revenge but eventually Phyllis was forgiven. Kelly came over to The Abbott Mansion when Phyllis showed up. Phyllis asked who she was and Jack told her she's a friend of Billy's.
And that she's an event planner at The Athletic Club. Phyllis soon blurted out that Kelly is the woman who broke up Billy and Victoria's marriage. Kelly admit she's made mistakes. Kelly sought her way out. Jack kept putting off telling Phyllis, believing she needed time to hear about everything that had happened within the past year. Phyllis found a picture of Kelly Andrews in Jack's desk at his office.
Billy walked in and explained that Delia had been killed from a hit-and-run by Adam, and Kelly lost a son named Sam, and that's how Kelly and he met and a support group. Kelly told Stitch she's going to fight for Jack! Phyllis had read a lot of information up online when she was told not to.
Phyllis asked ask if there was another woman while she was away and that she would understand. Jack did admit he was in a relationship with somebody else but the name's not important.
Phyllis decided she wanted to get married and that Kelly can organize it! Jack still put it off. Kelly met up with Stitch at Memorial Hospital because Maureen had a heart attack. Stitch told Kelly that Vicki has to know the truth and Kelly backed him up.
Kelly stayed and let Stitch go find Victoria. Jack was about to cut things off with Kelly when Kelly called Jack needing him because her mother had a heart attack. Jack broke it off with Kelly and stayed with Phyllis.
Phyllis claimed she'd understand if he was with somebody else while she was gone. Jack admit he did move on but the name's not important. Phyllis fought with Billy over her position back, which Jack offered her a higher position since Billy has done outstanding in her position, but Phyllis ultimately won it back. Jack and Phyllis ran into Kelly at the Athletic Club who was already upset talking to her brother, Ben Rayburn , about their mother really killing their father and running away from town, and Victoria's child being Billy's not his, and Kelly losing Jack.
Phyllis insisted on Kelly arranging the wedding reception after hearing about the exceptional praise she's gotten. Phyllis ran upstairs the Athletic Club to Kelly's apartment and told her she knew about Jack and her. Kelly asked if Jack told her but Phyllis stated she figured it out through the texts on his phone. Phyllis underestimated their relationship of being just sex and nothing more. She accused Kelly of jumping from Abbott brothers and Jack taking her in like a stray and Kelly slapped Phyllis!
Phyllis and Kelly argued while Phyllis claimed to have ended the conversation and walked down the stairs. Kelly followed after her when Jack appeared at the door. Kelly yelled at him for making a big mistake and he will regret it for the rest of his life! For New Year's the couple makes plans to go to the party at the Athletic Club to celebrate with their family and friends.
Jack leaves first, and Phyllis plans to meet him there after Summer shows up with a fashion emergency; however when Phyllis is on her way to the club, her car suddenly stops and try as she might she can't get it started as she realizes that she has mysteriously run out of gas. To make matters worse, when Phyllis goes to use her phone to see if she is near a gas station Being one to never let anything get her down, Phyllis then takes her purse, phone, keys and proceeds to walk to the club.
When Phyllis gets to the club, Jack has to literally keep her from ripping Kelly's head off, because she was hitting on Jack when Phyllis walked in. Kelly assumes Phyllis is spitting conspiracy, but Red tells Kelly that if she wants a war then she has got it. Later Phyllis shows up in a fire engine red dress, and she and Jack kiss and toast the new year, as well as their future together. Kelly looks on though from the stairs. Phyllis arrived in Neil's apartment and met Hilary, his wife who she admit she liked.
Phyllis wanted Neil to make her look good at work. While leaving an appointment at the hospital, Phyllis sees her friend Michael Baldwin coming out of an oncology door and questions him. Michael admits to her, he has stage 3 prostate cancer and she promised not to tell. Phyllis texted Kelly from Jack's phone and got her to come to Jabot. The two woman argued, and Jack walked in to find Kelly holding her cheek.
Kelly claimed that Phyllis had slapped her, but Kelly denied it. Kelly overheard Phyllis and Jack planning a romantic rendezvous, and later got a text. Kelly sneaked into the room while Jack was blindfolded. Phyllis burst in and Kelly claimed that Jack has texted her. Phyllis accused Kelly of setting Jack up.
Jack found out a woman with blonde hair ordered the roses and believed Kelly had set him up. Jack told Kelly that he was marrying Phyllis, and to leave him alone. Phyllis confronted Kelly and accused her of planting a blonde wig in her purse. Kelly tried to make peace with Phyllis by sitting down and having tea. Phyllis left and Ben sat down to talk with Kelly. While they were talking, Kelly started to feel faint and Ben took her to the hospital. The doctor said that Kelly had been poisoned.
Kelly admit to Ben that she had just drank tea with Phyllis and got up for a second and Phyllis poisoned her tea! Stitch considered calling the police but Kelly denied that she had enough evidence and told the doctor's not to report anything. Kelly stopped by Jack and Phyllis's and accused Phyllis of poisoning her tea which Phyllis denied. Jack was confused and Kelly explained the story. Jack seemed to be more on Phyllis's side since Kelly barged into their house and made accusations.
Kelly asked Phyllis to try some of the rest of her tea in a thermos then, and Jack said no! Kelly stated that he believes her. Jack asked Kelly to leave. Phyllis then broke a vase out of anger. Jack went to Victor to ask whether Phyllis's treatment could have affected her psychological process.
Victor claimed she got her back, that's all he wanted. Jack asked a doctor to come over, which angered Phyllis because he thinks she's crazy!
The next day, Jack told Red he wants them both to go to a therapist. Phyllis admits that she doesn't know if she poisoned Kelly. She doesn't remember doing it but she could've. Phyllis told the therapist she hates Kelly just like she hates Sharon and hundreds of other people. She admit she can lie, duck, and weave through things but this one she doesn't know if she poisoned Kelly.
The therapist told her the first step in moving on is forgiveness and she needs to forgive Kelly. Phyllis left the room only to see Kelly and Jack hugging. Phyllis apologized to Kelly before she left. Phyllis had her bags packed and left Jack's house.
Phyllis appeared on a park bench with her bags in Chancellor Park. Kelly appeared to meet Phyllis as she asked. Kelly warned Phyllis no more threats because she is being recorded and will go right to the police. Phyllis wanted to say she's sorry. Kelly explained she already said that in the hospital before she left. Phyllis apologized for poisoning Kelly and Kelly was shocked. Phyllis explained she's leaving Genoa City and wants Kelly to take care of Jack. Phyllis left and Kelly walked off only for Phyllis to stay watching her.
Kelly arrived at Jack's house and told him about Phyllis. Jack arrived in Chancellor Park and met up with Phyllis at the park bench and took her home.
Phyllis and Jack arrived home only for Red to be set up when Michael Baldwin the attorney made himself present and Paul and Christine appeared to arrest Phyllis.
Phyllis was furious and Jack sadly watched them take her away. Avery and Jack decided it would be better to put Phyllis is a mental facility, Fairview, instead of straight to prison. Phyllis was all freaked out by the place, and then Victor arrived there and was willing to have her temporarily move in with him and Nikki, much to the disliking of Nikki and Jack.
Kelly kept trying to convince Jack, but Jack insisted they have no future and he wants to help and be with Phyllis. Phyllis ran into Jack , who to her had moved on. Phyllis immediately assumed it was Kelly, and started ranting at Jack.
He became even angrier when she realized that Jack and Avery had planned this to make Phyllis seem crazy. The roof of the Underground collapsed, trapping Phyllis and Nikki together. As Victor tried to free the two women, He found Jack unconscious.
As Victor worked to resuscitate Jack, Phyllis pledged her undying love for Jack. She and Nikki were rescued and Victor stayed with Jack. Phyllis refused to believe it, but Ashley admitted she saw Jack and Kelly together and disheveled. Jack was taken to the hospital, where he swore up and down he did not sleep with Kelly. Phyllis believed Jack and vowed to stand by him.
Kelly overheard Jack slandering her to Phyllis and burst in, furiously claiming that they did sleep together. Jack continued to write Kelly off as a lunatic, and Kelly stormed out in tears.
Phyllis saw Paul and Christine together, and couldn't resist gloating about how Jack and Victor were going to work together to prove her innocence. Paul tried to diffuse the situation, but Phyllis kept pushing Christine, until she had an outburst. Christine snapped that Summer's husband had just died, and Phyllis was here taunting her, instead of comforting her daughter.
Phyllis was stunned to hear about Austin's death. She went to Summer's place and comforted her. Phyllis told Summer she would arrange a memorial for Austin. At the memorial, Summer was giving her eulogy about Austin, and then suddenly accused Abby of sleeping with Austin. After the building collapse at the Underground, and putting the drama of Kelly behind them; Phyllis and Jack set their minds on planning their wedding. Finally the happy couple decided to elope to St. Bart's for a romantic private ceremony.
In April Jack and Phyllis fly to St. Bart's and stay at a fabulous hotel in a beautiful honeymoon suite; Phyllis changes into her beautiful form fitting wedding gown, and Jack can't believe how stunning his Red looks.
Later a Minister comes and performs the ceremony and they officially become Mr. Jack Abbott; however that night while Phyllis is taking a bath her husband is whacked over the head with a canoe oar, kidnapped by Kelly ,and replaced by a Peruvian drug lord named Marco Annicelli who bears a striking resemblance to the real Jack Abbott.
Phyllis comes out of the bathroom in a fluffy robe, and when Marco takes her into his arms Phyllis can immediately sense that something is amiss and tries to get away from him; however Marco grabs Phyllis, throws her on the bed and has his way with her.
While her real husband is being held captive and tortured by a deranged Kelly, Phyllis is trying to figure out what on earth is going on with "Jack" since she knows him so well as to pick up when the slightest thing seems off with him.
Marco however, rubs her suspicions off and seems to have an insatiable appetite for sexual relations, and so many times he seems bent on getting Phyllis into bed against her will. Phyllis eventually begins to think that her husband is suffering from after effects of the head injuries he sustained after the building collapse at The Underground; however when "Jack's" behavior becomes increasingly strange such as: wanting to play golf rather than work, spending money like it was being printed in the basement, speaking Spanish in his sleep, and worse still partnering Jabot Cosmetics with Newman Enterprises , becoming "Newman-Abbott" and saying "I trust Victor Newman"; which is one thing Phyllis knows would never come out of her husband's mouth under any circumstances.
Phyllis' concerns continue to increase from what she is seeing. Business at Jabot continues to raise Phyllis suspicions about "Jack" and his behavior, which reaches its limit for her when she finds her husband standing in the lab with a gun.
Phyllis is horrified, and asks her husband what on earth is he doing with a gun; however when Marco proceeds to lie to her again, Phyllis cuts him off, asks for the truth, and demands to know "Just what the hell is going on!
Phyllis relents and later shares her concerns with Billy and Ashley, while at home Marco continues to sleep with her many times against her will. In late June , Jack Abbott finally makes his escape, and comes home to Genoa City and the first place he goes is home to see his beautiful redhead.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes; he runs into the one person he's been dying to see: his beautiful Red, the love of his life. Phyllis asks him what he's doing home so soon as he's supposed to be at a meeting at the club; Jack replies that he wants to look at her, and as he hugs her; Phyllis seems to immediately know that she is in the arms of her Jack, and she says that he feels familiar, and that she knows that everything is going to be okay. Jack is about to tell Phyllis what happened to him, when Summer comes in and she is clearly furious with Jack for setting her grandfather up to be arrested.
Phyllis reminds Summer that Victor is no goody two shoes and that he's not always innocent; however Summer insists that Victor is innocent as Jack looks as if he's thinking about what Marco may be up to. Jack then gets a text from Marisa that Marco is at the club, and tells Phyllis that he has to go, and to hold on to that feeling she had when he held her.
Summer asks her mother just what is going on with Jack, and Phyllis is just as confused as she is and doesn't blame her daughter for her feelings.
Phyllis then says from the way he held her, and the way he looked at her right before Summer came in made all of her bad feelings just melt away; Summer asks what Jack said and her mother replies that it wasn't what he said, but it was their connection; that feeling when one knows another deep in their bones and heart. Phyllis tells her daughter that this is the closest she has felt to Jack in months.
In July , after Jack made his way home to his wife he winds up meeting Victor in Chancellor Park by sheer chance. In reality Victor was supposed to be meeting Marco as he had plans to kill him and end Marco's terror that he has been spreading to the Abbotts. When Jack shows up at the park, Victor believes he is talking to Marco; however when Jack reaches into his pocket to grab his phone and call the police, Victor takes out a gun and shoots Jack in the chest.
Adam happened to see the whole thing, and when he goes to check on the man lying on the ground Adam then calls and gets Jack to the hospital; however when Phyllis hears about the shooting, she goes right to Victor's office and accuses him of having something to do with the bad state her husband is in; she also thinks that Victor woke her from her coma on purpose and then had ulterior motives to do harm to Jack.
Victor of course denies everything, and since Victoria doesn't know what happened she sticks up for him; however Phyllis says that she expects Victor to lie but she hoped that Victoria would be honest with her. At the Hospital, Phyllis learns that Jack has to have emergency surgery to remove the bullet and that her husband has fallen into a coma.
Phyllis is petrified with worry that her husband might die, so she sets out to get to the bottom of what is going on; Phyllis then tries to communicate with Jack by asking yes or no questions and getting him to squeeze her hand to respond to her.
Whenever she said something that wasn't true, it set off the heart monitor, and once he was stabilized he fell back into being unconscious; Phyllis is beside herself with worry and so she decides to go to the jail and question Victor about what he knows. At the jail of course Victor admits nothing and he also lies about knowing the meaning behind the number 2 that Jack wrote to his wife, of which Phyllis has a clue, but not the entire puzzle.
Later Phyllis talks to Ashley and Nick about Jack writing the note and what it might mean, unfortunately Nick is more into protecting his father and Ashley couldn't get anything out of him either. Phyllis later talks to Nikki about the note and still she gets nowhere. Some time later while being treated by Stitch, Jack finally wakes up from his coma and while his wife is talking to him she asks him who shot him, and with a trembling hand he points to Victor who happens to be standing in the room.
Phyllis follows her husband's hand and looks at Victor with anger, and fury in her eyes. After Jack wakes up, Victor still thinks that the man he shot in the park is Marco and not the real Jack Abbott; however once Jack opens his eyes and confirms that he is indeed the real Jack, Victor sets out to blackmail Jack for the crimes he committed in order to escape the boat and get back home to his wife.
But Jack is also angry at Victor for putting a crazed maniac like Marco into his life, family etc. Jack is most angry about Marco being with Phyllis, and threatens to expose Victor. Eventually the two agree that each will keep their mouth shut about what the other knows, which leads Jack to lie to his wife, brother and sister; however Phyllis knows more than anyone that Jack is lying to cover up something else.
After returning home, Jack whisks his lovely bride away for a second honeymoon to the Island of St. Bart's, and in the same hotel they stayed in on their wedding day. While the couple makes up for much lost romance; Phyllis can tell that Jack is keeping something from her, and she demands that her husband cut the crap and tell her what is going on. Jack finally cracks and tells his wife about the dirty trick Victor played on both of them: releasing a dangerous drug lord named Marco Annicelli who bore an incredible resemblance to Jack, having Kelly kidnap him from the hotel on his wedding day, letting Marco into Jack's life literally, and into Phyllis' bed.
Phyllis is completely stunned, as Jack continues telling her about the horrors Kelly put him through: including drugging him, tying him to the bed etc.
Phyllis tells Jack what it was like for her having Marco in their house and in their bed; she tells him that she knew something was off with him, because all he wanted to do was play, trust Victor, and get her into bed more than anything else.
Jack is horrified to hear what Marco did to his wife which is rape her for several months while impersonating him. Having been home for a while; Jack and Phyllis learn that Marco has not given up on taking over Jack's life or on trying to get his hands back on Phyllis, while this fills Phyllis with fear, Jack promises her that he won't let Marco get anywhere near her.
The couple also devises a plan so that Phyllis can tell her husband from Marco: While on their second honeymoon they saw a beautiful church called the: Hagia Sophia from their room, and no one but the two of them would know the name of the church; Jack says that if she sees Marco, to casually ask him about the church, and if he can't name it then Phyllis will know it's not Jack.
During a blackout Phyllis and Jack learn that Marco is looking for them, and could be hiding anywhere. The couple head home where it's dark; Jack tells Phyllis to wait in her car and lock the door, but she refuses and Jack leaves to check their property. Phyllis is alone in the living room when she hears footsteps, she calls Jack's name thinking it's him; however she gets a surprise when Marco walks into her living room from the kitchen.
Marco tries to sweet talk her into thinking he's Jack; however when Phyllis asks him about the church they saw Marco advances on her telling her that he wants her, to "make love" to her like before; however Phyllis warns him to stay away from her, but he doesn't listen, and when he gets too close as of to grab her neck; Phyllis kicks him, punches him and finally breaks a glass vase over his head knocking him out.
When Jack comes back into the house Phyllis tells him what happened with Marco. Jack is horrified, and worse still Marco has somehow managed to get up off the floor and escape from their house.
Jack holds his wife close thankful that she is ok. With Marisa's help, Jack and Phyllis finally have Marco all tied up When Phyllis arrives, she is ready to cut Marco's heart out, and Jack has to stop her.
Victor soon arrives, and Jack plans to call the police and tell them about the shooting, Marco etc. However Victor reminds him that if he goes down, then him and Jack will go down together, since Jack committed murder to escape the island. At first Jack doesn't care; however Phyllis grabs her husband and with tears in her eyes begs her husband to not do this to her: risk being extradited to the Islands and be in prison for life; Jack asks her if they should let Victor get away with what he did to them, and Phyllis doesn't care about that anymore because she tells Jack that she can't live without him, that she loves him so much, she says "Baby, please don't do this to me!
Finally there's a knock at the cabin door, and three big tough mob looking guys enter and take Marco away back to the deep dark hole of a Peruvian prison where he belongs. While Mr and Mrs.
