Cole joins Vikki and Claire to repeat the conversation. Why is their daughter trying to ditch them? They were terrified they wouldn’t see her again – get used to us hovering. Claire!! Harrison runs over to hug her.
Phyllis empathizes with Summer but thinks she’s being a tad overprotective. If the Newmans trust Claire, Summer should give her a second chance too. That said, NO WAY does Phyllis agrees with Kyle that Claire should be Harrison’s new nanny.

Let me out of here, I can’t take it anymore! Jordan hurls a boot through the bars. Victor smirks as it sends his chess pieces scattering.

Diane shouts at Jack – she’s done biting her tongue when it comes to him helping Nikki. You risked everything we’ve worked to achieve. Jack had things under control. Until you didn’t. Diane now questions everything. What you did was a betrayal. She needs some time and distance away from Jack.
Go ahead – gloat, Jordan wonders why Victor hasn’t killed her. Let me out of here and put me in an actual prison. Victor has an idea.
