On the last episode of Y&R, Nick intervened as Cameron terrorized Sharon, and shockwaves spread as Kyle discovered Phyllis with Summer & Daniel.
Sharon’s House
Nick and Sharon walk into the house, and Nick makes sure all the doors are locked.
He notices that a bolt is loose on a door and tells Sharon that she should close the curtains.
Sharon tells him to calm down.
Nick says they need to be proactive.
Sharon tells Nick she doesn’t want to alarm Faith.
She says that they can’t freak out about Cameron, and she won’t make the same mistakes as they did the last time they met that psycho.
Cameron’s Hotel Suite at the GCAC
Cameron puts on a baseball cap, picks up a bag, and leaves his hotel room.
Society
Tucker and Ashley sit at the bar and talk.
Tucker says he’s in his happy place, and Ashley should join him there.
Ashley says she can’t. She’s got Diane Jenkins to worry about.
Tucker says that they should go on vacation. He says that even though Ashley isn’t scared of Diane, he is.
He laughs and says that Ashley will kill Diane and be fitted with her own ankle monitor.
The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge
Jack and Diane are dancing, and Jack says he’ll hold Diane in his arms as long as she wants.
Diane suggests they go home, and Jack agrees.
Phyllis’s Hotel Room at the GCAC
Kyle asks what the hell Phyllis is doing in the room.
Phyllis says she can explain.
Kyle says that they’re going to the police station right now, and Phyllis is going to turn herself in.
Summer says it’s a huge shock to her that Phyllis is there.
She asks Daniel to wait in the hallway to head off anyone else who may come around.
Daniel gives Summer a look but goes into the hallway.
Kyle tells Phyllis that Summer was “broken” because of her.
Phyllis says that Diane was “so innocent”, and she’s sorry. She says Kyle has to believe her, and her head is spinning. She says that she knows that she put a lot of people through pain, and she’s so sorry, that’s why she’s back. She says she wants to make amends and put things right.
The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge
Diane tells Jack that they won because of his compassion and patience. She says that Jack let her back into his life when everyone told him to run the other way, and she saw how hard it was for him to trust her.
Jack smiles and kisses her hand.
Diane says that she’s free of the past now; all the bitterness is behind her. She tells Jack that he’s so generous, and because of him, she’s found compassion of her own, even for Phyllis.
Jack says he thought they weren’t going to talk about Phyllis.
Diane laughs.
Jack asks when they’re going to get married.
Society
Tucker says that a “very wise woman” forced him to become a better man.
He asks Ashley if she really thinks that Diane is after Jabot and says that Ashley weaponized the board to go against Jack.
Ashley says that she knows that Diane will use her marriage to Jack to gain power, and that’s why Ashley talked to the board… She doesn’t like the word “weaponized,” but that’s exactly what she did.
Sharon’s House
Nick says he wants to hunt down Cameron and beat him down.
Sharon tells him to calm down. She says they should let Victor and Nikki know what Cameron is doing.
Nick says he’s already alerted ranch security, and if they tell Nick’s father, Victor will want something in return for his help.
Sharon tells Nick that Victor has resources they don’t have and thinks Nick is overreacting.
Nick thinks Victor hates his relationship with Sally, and he’ll force Nick to work with Adam in exchange for giving them any help.
Sharon tells Nick that she’s not sure they’ll be as lucky as the last time they met Cameron if Nick takes matters into his own hands. She says that they should have worked with Victor from the start last time.
Sharon says they know what Cameron is capable of, and they need Victor on their side.
Society
Tucker tells Ashley that it’ll take real artistry to convince the board of directors that Jack is unfit. He says that Traci, Billy, and Kyle are on board with Jack.
Ashley thinks it’ll take some finessing on Tucker’s part, but nobody’s better at finessing than Tucker.
Tucker thinks that Ashley could lose her family in the process if it goes south.
Ashley says that she won’t fail, Diane will lose her access to power and money, and she’ll move on from Jack.
She says she’ll save her brother and her family, and Diane will get a long-overdue karmic kick in the ass.
Tucker says he’s in with the plan but has a suggestion… They should get married immediately.
The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge
Diane tells Jack that before they set a date for the wedding, she wants to run some details by him.
Jack says he “pre-agrees” with all of her terms.
Diane laughs and says the wedding needs to be small, and Harrison needs to be the ring-bearer.
She says she’d like to walk down the aisle with Jack and Kyle, as they’ve done everything together.
Jack says he loves the idea.
Diane says she’d love it if Summer were her maid of honor.

Phyllis says that she can’t go to the police until she clears her own name.
Kyle snorts and says that Phyllis is making the whole situation about her.
Phyllis says she’s there to take responsibility, just like Kyle’s mom did. She says that she was completely alone when Jeremy Stark started whispering in her ear, and she wanted Diane to hurt, so she gave in to Jeremy’s plan.
Kyle questions that Phyllis is saying she’s a victim.
Phyllis says that she’s a victim, just like Kyle’s mom, but she got in too deep and that the only way out was to… Hurt Jeremy. She says it was self-defense and needs more time to clear her name.
She begs Kyle not to take her to the police and that her life is in his hands now.

Phyllis says that Diane felt that she needed a new life and then needed to come back for her child’s sake.
Kyle says that he saw Summer retreat into herself and that now Phyllis has returned, she expects Summer to risk it all. He says that he feels guilty just being in the room.
He lists off collusion, aiding and abetting a felon, and says they could lose access to Harrison and everything that they love… All because they’re in that room together.
Sharon’s House
Victor and Nikki walk into Sharon’s living room. Victor sits down and asks what’s up.
Sharon tells Victor and Nikki that Cameron Kirsten is back. They both gasp, and she explains how Cameron came to see her at Crimson Lights.
She tells them that Cameron approached Faith in the park, and they’ve contacted Chance to see what the police can do about it.
Nick says that Cameron moved to L.A. and found a girlfriend who looked exactly like Sharon. Cameron beat up the look-alike girlfriend and ended up back in prison, but now he’s out of prison, and the police don’t know where he is.
Nikki suggests they put additional guards at the gate and around the house.
Victor says they’ll have that done before they leave Sharon’s house. He promises he’ll do everything he can to keep Sharon safe.
Nikki tells them she’d feel better if Sharon and Faith stayed in the Newman’s house.
Phyllis’s Hotel Room

Summer stammers an excuse.
Kyle says he’ll never forgive Phyllis for this.
Phyllis says she’ll make it right, but only he can give her the time she needs.
Kyle says Phyllis is relentless.

Phyllis agrees.

Diane says her heart is telling her it’s time to go home and make love to her husband.
Jack laughs and says he likes that idea. He wishes he’d come up with it first!
Society
Ashley asks Tucker why he wants to get married right away.
Tucker says he wants “confirmation” and wants a ring on his finger to say, “Ladies, I’m taken.”
Ashley says it didn’t stop him from cheating before.
Tucker says that he’s learned what it’s like to lose Ashley and doesn’t want to lose her again. He says history won’t repeat itself this time.
He says that marrying Ashley will allow him to take over Jabot and truly throw Jack and Diane off their game.
Phyllis’s Hotel Room
Phyllis asks Daniel how he’s doing.
Daniel laughs and says that Kyle was ready to set a match to the fire.
Phyllis says she’s Daniel’s mother, even though he thinks she’s a vicious psychopath.
Daniel laughs and says that, speaking of psychos, he attacked Stark when he told him that he and Phyllis were married.
Phyllis smiles and says she doesn’t blame him.
Daniel gets sterner and says that Phyllis was at the memorial and saw him grieving, and she just let him feel that grief and did nothing.
Phyllis says she did, and she’s sorry. She says that she’s put him through a lot of pain, and he can talk to her about it as long as he wants, even if it takes years.
Daniel says that he loves her, but it’s hard to forgive her for what she did.

He puts his hat, shoes, and shirt in the garbage bag.

Daniel laughs and says that she dragged Summer and him along with her.
Phyllis says that she can’t go to jail, she won’t make it, but she’s done running, and will never run again and will never be separated from her family again. She asks if Daniel believes her.
Daniel hugs his mom tightly.
The Abbott Mansion
