Outside of Society, Jack and Diane sure hated having to hide their love from the world. Spotting Victor inside, they decide to go in and ruin his day (by gloating that they’re together – thanks to their son)
In the park, Kyle flashes back to everything that’s transpired with his parents recently. Claire joins him – you don’t have to pretend that things are OK – they’re not.
Summer fusses over her Mom at CL’s. Phyllis feels fine and is ready to fight every fight that comes her way. oh look, here’s Sharon.
Phyllis can’t believe that Sharon has the nerve to show her face around town.
Phyllis wastes no time loudly harassing Sharon – I’m alive and ready to make your life hell. Are you going to pretend like you didn’t try to kill me? Or kill Heather?
If Victor wanted payback, you wouldn’t see it coming. You left me with an empty shell of a company, Diane accuses. It’s going to an empty shell of a woman, Victor gloats – good luck trying to figure out my motive, he grins triumphantly up at Jack.
My Mom dropped a bomb on me – she offered to give up the co-CEO job. He’s not sure whether to take it; his Mom might be trying to manipulate him again.
You think you’ve bested us? This chess match isn’t over yet, Jack seems equally smug. Good luck trying to figure out OUR motives. Victor wonders if their fighting was all a show – your family’s in turmoil. The Abbott’s all fail, Victor points out that Kyle and Billy are failing in spectacular fashion. And why is Jack now defending the son he’s put down his entire life.
Claire knows that Kyle’s parents are sincere. It’s a lot easier to fake anger than it is love. Your Mother loves you.
Seated at a table a few feet away from the Newmans, Jack admits that some of Victor’s words hurt but is sure Kyle will come around. This mess will be behind us, Jack kisses Diane’s hand.
Look at them, Nikki sneers – so cozy – she wonders what was the purpose of all that ‘vitriol’. Do you regret what you did to Kyle? Mo, Victor doesn’t regret a damn thing. Nikki suspects there’s more to this than she knows.
