Diane comes in and Jack presents her with a Lilac.

Society
Michael meets with Christine and he says that if she wants to offer a plea bargain, Diane will reject it, since Phyllis is – he makes “mind blown” sign with his hands – alive!
Crimson Lights
Summer sees Daniel, and sullenly asks him if he’s there for coffee.
Daniel says he’s not, he’s there to pick up something for Faith.
He asks how Summer is doing.
Summer says her mom’s in hiding, and she’s living in a nightmare.
Daniel says one thing that would help is if their mother just came home.
He mentions that he’d talked to Lily about Phyllis.
Summer asks how dare Daniel talk to someone else about it, can’t he just keep his mouth shut?
Newman Enterprises
Nick stands in the office talking on his phone with Sharon.
He asks Sharon if Chance knows anything about Cameron’s location.
Sharon says that she hasn’t heard anything, and she hasn’t seen any strange gifts show up lately.
Nick wonders why Cameron would reach out to her after all this time.
Nikki walks into the office and gasps as she hears Nick say that Cameron is back. He hangs up.
Sharon’s House
Sharon hears someone wiggle the doorknob, trying to get in.
She quickly grabs a fire poker and stands beside the door, ready to hit anyone that comes in.
The door opens… It’s Faith!
Faith says she brought someone home with her, he didn’t have a place to go.
Cameron’s GCAC Suite

“Hi there, you handsome devil. Welcome back to Genoa City. It’s been way too long.”
He grins at himself in the mirror and then the smile drops from his face.

He tells Nikki that they have to talk about Nate and Victoria… They’re a disaster waiting to happen.
Crimson Lights
Summer pulls Daniel aside and asks him if he knows what loyalty is or how to keep a secret.
Daniel says that he needed one person to talk to who wouldn’t condemn him, and that person was Lily.
Summer says she hopes Lily is better at keeping a secret than Daniel is.
She says Daniel needs to be careful because if the Newmans get ahold of the story, Phyllis will be in trouble.
Summer suggests they find the EMT and get him to corroborate Phyllis’s story.
Daniel thinks that’s a good idea, but he has no idea where the EMT might be.
He asks how Kyle is doing.
Before Summer can answer, Chance walks into the coffee shop and sees Daniel and Summer talking. He interrupts them and says he has some news.
Summer asks how bad the news is.
Chance says it depends on how you look at it.

Diane stands with the front door open, looking outside. She sighs but doesn’t step foot outside.
Kyle says he was afraid she was going to take off.
Diane says that she wants to, but she has too much to stay for. She says that time is running out, Phyllis could run away, change her name, and they’ll never find her.
The doorbell rings, it’s Michael and Christine.
Kyle invites Christine and Michael into the house.
Jack asks what’s going on.
Michael says he wants to see Diane’s face when she hears the news.
Christine says they’re dropping the charges against Diane.
Jack and Diane are elated and hug one another.
