The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Wednesday, August 9 tease that once again the hot action in Genoa City, Wisconsin revolves around Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and her legal predicament.

Her lawyer Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) has her hands full and warns her against accepting a plea deal for her murder charge.

Heather thinks that Phyllis has a better shot telling her story before a jury of her peers but Phyllis wants to protect her daughter Summer Newman-Abbott (Allison Lanier) by going with the plea agreement.

Still, if she is found guilty, Phyllis could get the maximum sentence leaving Heather hoping against hope that Red changes her mind.
