Last Episode
On the last episode of Y&R, Devon faced off with Amanda at the arbitration table, Victor had a proposal for Jill, and Audra offered to “help“ Elena.
Arbitration
The arbitrator says that the relationship between the parties has become unproductive.
She asks for there to be no further interruptions to the proceedings and then asks if there is anything anyone would like to start with.
The two lawyers jump on top of each other’s words as they both have something they’d like to bring up.
Jeremy’s Hotel Room
Phyllis tells Jeremy that she found a giant ring in Diane’s purse.
Jeremy says this must be what Diane was talking about.
Phyllis says she’ll never see Summer again because of Diane’s antics. She says, “This evil must be eradicated.”
Jeremy says that with their plan, Diane will be stopped dead in her tracks.
The Abbott Mansion
Jack brings Diane a dress for the bicentennial, and they talk about having a celebration of their own.
Jack says they should tell everyone at the gala that they’re engaged.
Diane asks if he’s sure.
Jack says they’ll be the toast of the town.
Diane says they’ll have to face their critics, and Jack says they’ll face them together. She agrees after a moment.
She tells Jack that Phyllis came by looking for Summer, and she was acting “off”.
Jeremy’s Hotel Room
Phyllis says that Diane will make the whole gala about her by parading around with her “big disgusting ring on her finger”.
Jeremy says that Diane will get what’s coming to her.
Phyllis says she doesn’t know why she’s the only one who sees through her.
Jeremy says they will have to make their move at the gala.
He says because it’s a masquerade ball, he can work his magic behind a mask and nobody will know he was there.
Phyllis worries that things will go awry.
Jeremy says it’ll happen with clockwork precision.
Phyllis says it’s literally life or death.
Her phone pings, and Jeremy asks who’s messaging. She says it’s her daughter, Summer.
She looks upset as she holds the phone and Jeremy asks her if she’s having a change of heart.
Phyllis says that if they go through with this, her entire life will change, and every day will be about keeping the biggest secret she’s ever had in her life.
Jeremy asks if she’s afraid of lying now. He says it’s her final chance to call it off.
Phyllis says she has to go and hurries out the door.
Arbitration

Chelsea says he looks like he just won the lottery.
Billy says he might have… He took the job offer at Jabot.
Chelsea says she thinks things are going to be great for both of them.
The Abbott Mansion
Jack says he won’t let Phyllis or Stark or anyone else rob them of their happiness and he wants to shout it from the rooftop.
Diane says she can’t wait to tell everyone as well. She says that they were going to hold off until they knew that Kyle was fine with their engagement.
Jack says he hasn’t talked to Kyle, but he’s sure he’s good with it.
The doorbell rings and Jack answers the door.
It’s Mamie! Jack welcomes her with open arms and they hug.
Mamie comes in and sees Diane.
Mamie sees Diane and says, “But you’re…”
Jack interrupts and says that he can’t wait until Ashley and Traci see Mamie again.
Jack asks how long it’s been.
She says it’s been a long time, and she hopes that he found it in his heart to forgive Dina.
Jack says they found peace before Dina died.
Mamie says she can tell he’s in love.
Jack laughs and says she can still tell.
