Seeking revenge for Diane’s role in his incarceration and Jack’s framing of him for the theft of Nikki Newman’s necklace, they plot to fake Phyllis’s death and pin it on Diane.
With Jack, Kyle, and Summer witnessing Diane’s apparent attack on Phyllis, the deception begins to unfold.
The Stolen Ring, the Mysterious Vial, and the Unconscious Phyllis
Jeremy Stark executes a calculated move by pickpocketing the engagement ring just before administering a mysterious liquid to Phyllis, causing her collapse.
