Lauren joins Phyllis on the patio as she’s talking to Danny on the phone (about Lucy’s Christmas gift) In tears, Lauren prays that Phyllis’ family will find peace. We will when Sharon’s punished.
At the house, Nick and Faith look worried when Sharon announces that she just got off the phone with Alan Laurent – he’s practiced in hypnotherapy.
With Kyle at Society, Diane’s delighted when he praises her work at Jabot.
It’s like stepping back in time, Mike admires the rebuilt ranch – you also gave Nikki Chancellor – can’t wait to see what you put in her stocking. Jack thinks he pulled one over on me – Victor won’t let him have the last laugh.
Billy drops by the house demanding answers from Jack. You hired Kyle – he steps aside for Diane – she fires him – and now Kyle’s back in as co-CEO. What crazy game of musical chairs are you playing with our family business?
Mike can’t help but admire Jack pulling a move on Victor’s level. No, Victor doesn’t want to get even – he wants to beat the guy, with Mike’s help.
Jack had asked Billy to trust him. Hearing that Diane was in on his plan all along, Billy’s upset – trust you? I didn’t even hear this news from you.
Nick and Faith continue to express doubts about Sharon’s plan. Not knowing isn’t acceptable – she needs answers. Nick and Faith finally agree – but must be present. And now some Dad jokes and support to lighten the mood.
Lauren’s sorry she didn’t believe Phyllis. That’s OK, even the kids didn’t believe her. I was the one who got her to confess. Lauren notices the colour drain from Phyllis’ face – did you just remember something? (she did)
Kyle’s sorry he didn’t give his mother the benefit of the doubt. He was angry and bitter. Diane’s sorry he didn’t feel good enough to do the job and is happy they’re starting the healing process. To that end, Diane sees one more thing that needs to be done.
Billy’s astounded to hear that Jack and Diane weren’t really fighting. We did it to protect Kyle. But you dragged the entire family into it. Billy IS happy to hear that Jack put one over on Victor. You knocked him off balance and I’m gonna knock him out.
Victor reminds Mike that Jack almost killed Nikki – he thinks he bested me. He’s gloating. The fool has given me a perfect chance to dismantle Jabot from the inside once and for all.
