>> Claire: They were so big,
I couldn't believe it.
>> Summer: This is unbelievable!
It's exactly what I told Kyle
I didn'
I didn't want.
Claire all over Harrison.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, I mean,
they're feeding ducks.
Maybe it's harmless.
>> Summer: That is so
not the point.
Kyle knows how I feel
about her being around him.
And-- and so does she.
>> Claire: They were fighting.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
What do you wanna do?
>> Summer: I'
>> Summer: I'm definitely not
going to walk away.
>> Jack: Wait,
you want to leave?
>> Diane: I don't want to leave.
I just don'
I just don't see any other way
to get through this.
I'
I'm so angry at you, Jack.
For the risk you took
for to your sobriety,
and your life,
and I won'
and I won't take the chance
that that anger could push
you back into a bottle of pills.
>> Jack: I will say it again.
I'
I'm not going to relapse.
>> Diane: You don't know that.
>> Jack: You're really thinking
of leaving because of what
happened to Nikki?
I made a judgement call
that saved her life.
>> Diane: Yeah, and you almost
lost yours.
>> Jack: No, I'
>> Jack: No, I'm very
much alive.
>> Diane: You were unconscious!
You overdosed!
The EMTs needed to revive you.
The only life
that needed saving was yours.
And thank God Nikki was sober
enough to call.
>> Jack: It could just as easily
have been Nikki who was
unconscious in that room.
I knew I could come back
from the pills.
Nikki might not have been
so lucky had alcohol
poisoning set in.
>> Diane: Oh, please.
You could have taken away
her vodka bottles.
>> Jack: No, that'
>> Jack: No, that's not
the way it works.
>> Diane: Oh, really, Jack?
Then, tell me.
Is swallowing a bunch of pills
in front of her how it works?
>> Jack: It was a last resort.
>> Diane: What if you walked
into an AA meeting
and you shared what happened?
What do you think
the members would say?
That you did the right thing
or that you made
a horrific mistake?
>> Jack: You'
>> Jack: You're right.
I'
I'm will to accept
that taking pills was foolish.
If I had thought it through,
perhaps another, safer
option for help Nikki might
have presented itself to me.
I did not have time.
It was an emergency.
I made a choice.
In the moment. A Hail Mary.
And it worked.
I'm sorry I put you
through this.
I mean that.
I wish-- I wish
I could make it up to you.
>> Diane: So, is that
what this is?
An in the moment Hail-Mary?
>> Jack: What are you
talking about?
>> Diane: You will say
whatever it takes
to keep me from leaving.

[ Jordan laughs ]
>> Jordan: I knew it.
You need me.
You're not just let me rot
in here when I have something
that I can offer you.
I have a skillset that you need.
>> Victor: I don'
>> Victor: I don't need you.
I'
I'm merely considering
my options right now.
>> Jordan: Okay.
Okay. Okay, Victor.
Then, you tell me.
You tell me, okay?
Whatever it is, I'll do it.
>> Victor: It'll be at a time
of my choosing.
>> Summer: What a surprise!
>> Harrison: Mommy!
>> Summer: Hi, buddy!
>> Victoria: Well,
we were having such
a lovely day.
>> Summer: How are you doing?
>> Harrison: Having fun.
>> Summer: I bet you are.
>> Phyllis: Hey, do you have
one of those hugs for me?
Oh, my goodness!
Oh!
You have grown like
three feet since I last saw you.
>> Harrison: I was kidnapped.
So was Claire.
By a witch.
>> Phyllis: Whoa!
You are so brave.
>> Harrison: Claire says I'
>> Harrison: Claire says I'm
the bravest boy she ever met.
Right?
>> Claire: Brave and amazing
and strong.
>> Harrison: Because I had
my lucky charm.
Claire found it for me.
>> Summer: Honey, you didn'
>> Summer: Honey, you didn't
need a lucky charm to be
the brave boy you are.
>> Harrison: Claire used to have
a lucky charm
when she was little,
but she lost it.
We could give her
a new one, right, Mom?
>> Phyllis: So, how did this
little get-together come about?
>> Kyle: A happy coincidence.
>> Summer: Really?
>> Victoria: Claire and I
were just out enjoying
the beautiful day.
>> Claire: And we were lucky
enough to run into these two.
>> Harrison: Claire and I
fed the ducks.
>> Victoria: It's nice to enjoy
a little bit of nature.
>> Summer: Really nice
you could fit all this in
before going to the office.
>> Phyllis: I'd like to
introduce myself.
I'
I'm Harrison's
very protective grandma.
>> Jack: What do I have to say
to you to convince you
I regret what I did?
The last thing I wanted
was to upset you.
>> Diane: Oh, stop it, Jack.
You weren'
You weren't thinking about me
at all.
You acted so recklessly.
You put yourself
in so much danger.
Without thinking about
to the consequences
to your family,
or to your wife.
>> Jack: For which I am
profoundly apologetic.
>> Diane: [ sighs ] You know
what? Your apology
is hindsight.
Your instinct was
to put Nikki first.
Not me. Not your life.
And I-- I don'
And I-- I don't know
what to do with that.
>> Jack: And the answer
is running away?
>> Diane: I am not
running away.
I'
I'm doing what is best for us.
I don'
I don't want my anger
to cause you to relapse.
>> Jack: What happened
was a one-off.
It was intentional.
We don't have to worry
about me being hooked again.
The only thing I am craving
right now is a chance
to regain your trust!
>> Diane: How can I not be
concerned about your sobriety
moving forward?
>> Jack: What, my word
isn'
isn't enough?
>> Diane: No!
You say it was a one-off!
>> Jack: It was!
>> Diane: Yeah, but what if
it wasn't?
What if you liked
that feeling?
Being high on pills.
>> Jack: Oh, come on,
don'
don't do this.
>> Diane: Oh, no, no. Maybe
saving Nikki was just an excuse
To feel that again.
Or, maybe a test to see
how strong you are against
your old demons.
>> Jack: You are taking things
out of context.
>> Diane: Well, what if I'
>> Diane: Well, what if I'm not?
You keep saying
how strong you are,
but Jack,
this is unknown territory.
And what-- what if this tension
between us is too much,
and it puts a crack in all
that strength of yours?
>> Jack: I get my strength
from you.
Your love gives me strength.
>> Diane: What about my anger?
Hm?
I don'
I don't want to do anything
that could put your sobriety
at risk.
>> Jack: I had--
>> Diane: So, I think the best
thing is for me to remove myself
from this situation.
>> Jack: Diane, I--
>> Diane: I need my husband.
And Harrison needs
his grandfather,
healthy and present after
everything he'
everything he's been through.
>> Jack: And your answer
is to walk away?
>> Diane: No, I just...
I just need time.
To-- to think about
what's happened.
And to figure out what'
And to figure out what's ahead.
And you do too.
>> Jack: No, I don'
>> Jack: No, I don't.
I don't need time.
I know what I want.
I want the two of us
to find a way to work
through this together.
>> Claire: It'
>> Claire: It's wonderful that
Harrison has so many people
who love and protect him.
>> Phyllis: That'
>> Phyllis: That's what
family does, right?
>> Victoria: I assume you'
>> Victoria: I assume you've
heard that Claire
is family as well?
>> Claire: Yes, I'm Victoria's--
>> Phyllis: I know who you are.
>> Victoria: I was telling
Clair earlier about all
of the interesting characters
around Genoa City
like Katherine Chancellor.
But, I guess I failed to warn
her about everyone in town.
>> Phyllis: [ laughs ] Well,
that's the thing with warnings
around here,
not everybody's really
paying attention to them.
>> Jordan: "
>> Jordan: “Your choosing?"
>> Jordan: “Your choosing?”
What, is this a damn
chess game, now?
Why don't we just sit down
and play some checkers?
Get on with it.
>> Victor: I call the shots.
>> Jordan: Oh, that's
abundantly clear.
But I would settle for just
a little hint.
>> Victor: I don't know.
Considering the various options,
you know.
If I even decide to...
go ahead with the project.
>> Jordan: Oh, surely.
Surely, you don't doubt
my capabilities.
My ability to take risks,
push the limits.
I have a special talent for you.
Only I can do...
what I can do.
You know that.
I can smell fear,
I can manipulate it,
I can weaponize it.
Just ask your lovely wife.
>> Victor: You're a delusional,
vicious bitch.
And don't ever
mention Nikki again.
[ Jordan laughs ]
>> Jordan: Whatever the great
and powerful
Victor Newman wants.
But I think that you want me
to do your dirty work.
And I think...
I'm right.
I mean, what is it?
My hands are already awash
in blood.
What'
What's a little more?
>> Victoria: I'
>> Victoria: I'm just happy
that Claire'
that Claire's made
a real friend.
>> Harrison: Let'
>> Harrison: Let's go
to the playground!
>> Summer: Uh, you know what,
honey, I actually think that
we need to get you
home for lunch.
>> Harrison: Can Claire
come too?
>> Claire: Uh, oh, I would
really like to,
but I have plans already.
Maybe we can do it
some other time.
>> Victoria: Yeah, we should
get going.
>> Claire: Well, I will see
you later, alligator.
>> Harrison: After a while,
crocodile.
>> Victoria: Kyle, please
just think about what
we discussed earlier.
>> Phyllis: Well, Harrison,
why don'
why don't you show me
the playground?
What do you think of that?
>> Harrison: Okay.
>> Phyllis: All right.
>> Summer: How could you
do this to me?
>> Victor: I'
>> Victor: I'll let you know
what I decide.
>> Jordan: Don't you turn
your back on me after
dangling my freedom
in front of me.
>> Victor: Just...
a little distance away.
Like your freedom, yeah?
>> Jordan: Oh, you're a damn
cruel bastard.
>> Victor: You make it easy.
Now, isn't that pretty?
>> Jordan: I need food!
Not more vodka!
Oh!
>> Victor: I decide what
you'll get.
Now, cheers.
>> Jordan: Damn you,
come back here!
[ Jordan panting ]
>> Diane: I hate that we'
>> Diane: I hate that we're even
having this conversation.
>> Jack: I am totally
to blame for this.
What can I do to reassure
you that I am--
that I am okay?
That our future together
is safe?
>> Diane: All right, well,
why don't you go
some 12 step meetings?
No matter what the reason,
you broke your sobriety.
And you keep saying you have
it under control,
but you let that poison
back into your system.
And there'
And there's no telling how,
or when, it could become
a craving that you can'
a craving that you can't
say no to.
>> Jack: You'
>> Jack: You're right.
I will go to a meeting today.
And tomorrow
and the next day.
Will that change your mind?
>> Diane: Jack, you can'
>> Diane: Jack, you can't do it
for me.
It has to be for you,
or what'
or what's the point?
>> Jack: I know, it is for me.
But I would be disingenuous
if I didn'
if I didn't say it is also
for us, for our happiness.
>> Diane: You'
>> Diane: You've always been
very good at knowing
exactly what to say.
>> Jack: It kills me
that I have hurt you
this deeply.
>> Diane: It'
>> Diane: It's going to take
more than an apology
for me to be okay
with what happened.
>> Jack: Okay, I understand,
but loving you and being loved
in return have brought me
more joy than I--
I knew existed.
That I would do something
to destroy that...
crushes my heart.
Please, I'm asking you please,
don'
don't leave.
>> Victoria: Oh, good,
you're here.
>> Cole: Hey.
I didn'
I didn't expect you back
from the park so soon.
All the fun that Claire
and Harrison were having,
I thought that that would've
spilled right over into lunch.
>> Victor: Yeah, well, then
Summer showed up and that
was the end of that.
>> Cole: So, is she still
tense with Claire?
>> Victor: That's putting
it mildly.
>> Cole: What did she say?
>> Victor: Summer didn't have
to say anything.
No, no, not at all.
She was perfectly
and excruciatingly polite.
But she couldn'
But she couldn't wait
to get Harrison away
from Claire.
It was infuriating,
and insulting,
and it didn'
and it didn't help that
Phyllis showed up
with her dragon breath
to play back-up.
>> Cole: How did Claire
take all this?
You know, I just-- I just hate
the thought of our daughter
feeling unwelcome.
>> Victoria: She tried
to take it in stride,
but she shouldn'
but she shouldn't have to.
>> Victor: Well,
this is a pleasant surprise.
>> Cole: Hey, Victor.
>> Victoria: There you are,
Daddy. Hi. Good to see you.
>> Victor: Hi, sweetheart.
>> Victoria: You know,
I saw Joan
when I walked in, and she said
that you were here,
but she hadn'
but she hadn't seen you.
Where were you at?
>> Victor: I just went down
to the stables.
To feed Califa some carrots.
>> Victoria: Aw, that's so nice.
That's something that you
and Mom would love to do
on a day like today.
>> Victor: And hopefully,
will do soon again, you know.
>> Victoria: Yeah.
You know, I know that she needs
to be in rehab right now,
and I want nothing more for her
to get better,
but I miss her so much.
>> Victor: So do I.
It's very, very upsetting.
Anyway, the two of you
wanted to talk to me
about something?
Please sit down.
>> Victoria: Yes, thank you.
Yes, Cole and I,
we were talking and we wanted
to discuss something about
Claire's future.
We wanted to run it by you.
>> Victor: Sure.
>> Cole: Victor, I think
that you'
that you're aware of how much
it meant to Claire when
she helped with the children
at the hospital.
>> Victor: I heard that she read
to some child.
>> Cole: Yes, yes. Exactly.
>> Victor: How sweet.
>> Cole: Yeah.
You know, it gave Claire
such a sense of purpose.
And she enjoyed it so much,
she'
she's talking about finding
a job working with kids.
>> Victor: Huh, wow.
>> Victoria: And as luck would
have it, Kyle and Summer
happen to be looking
for a new nanny for Harrison.
Who adores Claire
and she loves the idea
of working with him.
And actually Kyle seems
very open to the idea as well.
>> Cole: It just seems like
a perfect fit.
>> Victor: Huh.
So, what'
So, what's the problem?
>> Victoria: Summer, actually.
She'
She's still wary of Claire
and she's having a problem
overlooking her history.
And I was thinking that maybe
if you could, you know,
talk to her about it.
I know that she would
listen to you
and maybe if you could vouch
that maybe, maybe Summer
would change her mind about it.
>> Victor: Hm.
Well, I won't do that.
>> Victoria: Why not?
>> Victor: As much as I would
love to help Claire,
every which way, I do not
want her to be subject
to the toxicity
of the Abbott household.
>> Diane: I've gotta get
to the office.
I have that presentation.
>> Jack: No, not like this.
You're upset.
>> Diane: You know, it's just
too much, okay?
Harrison being kidnapped,
and then all this mess
with Ashley. And then all--
[ Diane sighs ]
>> Jack: And then what?
>> Diane: Nothing. Nothing.
It'
It'll work itself out.
>> Jack: No, let me help.
>> Diane: I--
I'
I've got it covered.
So Jack, you'll--
you'
you'll go to that
12 step meeting?
>> Jack: I will go
to the meeting.
>> Diane: Okay.
>> Jack: Diane...
Please reassure me that
we are in a slightly
better place than we were
when we started
this conversation.
>> Diane: I still need time.
[ door closing ]
>> Victoria: Okay, Dad, I know
there'
there's no love lost
between you and Jack,
but Claire would mostly
be dealing with Harrison.
>> Victor: Okay, I understand
that, but she'
that, but she'd be
in close proximity to both
Jack Abbott
and Diane Jenkins.
Jack Abbott's a fool.
Diane Jenkins is an opportunist.
Nothing more.
>> Victoria: Jack wasn'
>> Victoria: Jack wasn't
partying with Mom.
He took those pill to shock
some sense into her.
>> Victor: Cole, were you
filled in on what happened?
>> Cole: Victoria told me
everything.
>> Victor: Do you know how close
they were to
it becoming a total disaster?
No, I don't want Claire to be
subject to that, okay?
I don't want any of my family
to have anything to do
with the Abbotts ever again.
>> Victoria: Okay, well we both
know that Summer is never
gonna go along with that.
>> Victor: That's another story,
okay?
Claire has no reason at all
to involve herself
with that family. Ever.
>> Kyle: Again,
seeing Claire was unplanned.
>> Summer: I got it.
But you didn't have to let
him run off with her alone.
>> Kyle: Harrison was so happy
to see her. He wanted to feed
the ducks with her.
>> Summer: Oh yeah, and nothing
bad could possibly happen
to a small child near
a large body of water.
>> Kyle: Okay, you're blowing
this out of proportion.
They were barely
out of sight.
>> Summer: The last time Claire
was barely out of sight
with Harrison,
he was kidnapped.
>> Kyle: Summer, you can'
>> Kyle: Summer, you can't
tell me you're still holding
onto the idea that she was
involved in that.
>> Summer: I get it.
She was a victim.
But she'
But she's still a reminder
of everything that Harrison
went through, and he's still
recovering from the trauma.
>> Kyle: Yeah, and outings like
today will help get things
back to normal.
Today, I saw a very happy little
boy who totally bonded with
someone who shared and survived
a difficult experience with him.
>> Summer: Kyle, I was very
clear on how I felt about Claire
spending time with our son.
>> Kyle: Yeah, and I couldn't
just blow her off once Harrison
saw her.
>> Summer: So, you blew me off
instead? Just completely
disregarded my feelings?
>> Kyle: Come on, Summer.
>> Summer: No!
Negotiating custody with
you was difficult enough.
I...
I don't know why you're
fighting me on this.
>> Kyle: I am not
fighting you on it.
>> Summer: You are!
I asked for one thing.
That you keep Claire
away from Harrison.
I didn't even insist that it be
forever, even though
that would suit me just fine.
>> Kyle: That's hardly fair.
>> Summer: Do you realize that
Harrison's not the only one
that's dealing with trauma?
Kyle, every time I see her,
I am right back in that place.
Terrified that I'm never
gonna see my son again.
Desperate to find him.
Maybe I need to not see Claire's
face so that I can recover
from the trauma too.
I just, I really didn't think
that that was too much to ask.
But did you-- did you even
try to respect my wishes?
>> Kyle: Summer, I wasn't--
>> Summer: No, it was one
day ago that I requested
this of you.
Were you even gonna
tell me about this if
I hadn't run into you?
>> Kyle: I honestly didn't think
it was that huge a deal.
>> Summer: Right,
so my feelings, what I want,
just not a big deal to you.
>> Kyle: Okay.
Don't you think it would
have been more upsetting
to Harrison if we ignored
the friend he adores?
That if we somehow treat Claire
as a villain, that it would
be confusing to him?
>> Summer: It's not that hard.
All you had to do was
say hi and keep moving.
>> Kyle: Understood. It's over.
Can we please be done
talking about this?
>> Summer: Yeah, sure.
We can be done talking about it.
As soon as you tell me what
Victoria meant before she left.
What was that about?
>> Kyle: Uh, Victoria just wants
people to give her daughter
a chance.
>> Summer: That's great.
Doesn't have to be us.
>> Kyle: You say that like we're
two random people on the street.
You two are cousins, family.
I mean, after everything
Claire's been through,
Victoria's just trying to
protect her daughter
like you were trying
to protect Harrison.
>> Summer: Harrison's a child,
Kyle. Claire's an adult.
She can take care of herself.
She has the entire Newman
family to show her love.
She does not need
you getting involved and
dragging our son into it.
>> Kyle: At the risk of you
shoving me into the lake,
you're overreacting.
>> Summer: So, that's just it?
You're making
unilateral decisions now?
No more co-parenting,
no more respecting each other's
wishes when it comes
to raising our son?
You're just gonna ignore all of
my boundaries when it comes to
Harrison from here on out?
>> Phyllis: Hey, guys,
sorry to interrupt.
Um, this little guy wants lunch.
I'll take him if you'd like.
>> Kyle: No, I've got it.
How about a dad-style
grilled cheese?
>> Harrison: Yeah.
>> Kyle: Yeah, let's do it.
We'll finish
this conversation later.
>> Summer: Oh, I'm gonna come to
the house with you just in case
Claire decides to stop by
for another surprise visit.
>> Victoria: I don't think we
should just dismiss this idea of
her being Harrison's nanny just
because you're angry with Jack.
>> Victor: Look, I have my own
idea about my granddaughter's
future, all right?
>> Cole: You do?
>> Victoria: Oh, yeah,
of course.
I should have seen this coming.
>> Cole: Uh, well,
does someone want to clue me in?
>> Victoria: Dad wants for
Claire what he wants for his
children and his grandchildren,
of course,
to be a part of his legacy.
>> Victor: My idea is that the
best use of Claire's
intelligence and skills would be
to follow in your footsteps.
So, whenever you
return to Newman,
she could become your assistant.
>> Victoria: Well, there's
a major problem with that.
>> Victor: What's the problem?
>> Victoria: I haven't decided
if or when I will even
return to Newman.
[ Diane sighs ]
>> Diane: Not today.
>> Phyllis: I haven't even
said anything.
>> Diane: Yeah, well, whatever
it is, I don't want to hear it.
>> Phyllis: I want to talk to
you about Kyle.
>> Diane: What is it?
>> Phyllis: I just saw him at
the park with Harrison
and Claire.
I got a problem with Kyle.
>> Diane: Well, stand in line.
>> Phyllis: Are we possibly
on the same side?
Do you share Summer's concerns?
>> Diane: Summer's concerns?
>> Phyllis: Yeah, with Claire,
Victoria's daughter.
Um, I thought at first
Summer was being a little
overprotective and high-strung
about the whole thing.
But, uh, yeah, I just saw them
at the park with my own eyes.
Claire's being all
palsy-walsy with Harrison
is very inappropriate.
This is, you know,
right after Harrison was
kidnapped by her aunt.
I just think it's weird.
That's all.
>> Diane: Well,
Claire was just as much a victim
of Jordan's as Harrison.
>> Phyllis: Um, yeah, whatever.
[ Phyllis sighs ]
Don't you think it's weird?
Someone with Claire's history.
She just got out
the psych ward, Diane.
That she's spending so much
time with Harrison, a sweet,
vulnerable little boy.
I mean,
what exactly is that about?
>> Victor: You're not returning
to Newman?
You can't mean that.
>> Victoria: Not anytime soon,
at least.
>> Victor: Don't you realize
that Claire's just in the
process of finding herself?
And you should damn well
come back to Newman,
for heaven's sake.
>> Victoria: Daddy,
I want to focus on Claire.
I want to get to
know her better.
I mean,
this is all just still so new.
>> Cole: With Jordan dead,
along with her threats,
this is a chance for us
to really help Claire
settle in with her new life.
To help her figure out just what
her purpose is going forward.
>> Victoria: The kids are going
to be home soon.
I want her to know them.
I've got to prep her for that.
>> Victor: None of that prevents
Claire from working
at Newman Enterprises.
And none of that prevents
you from coming back.
I want Claire to have
a structured life.
A job where she has fun, where
she's excited, she's challenged.
That's the way you have felt
at Newman Enterprises ever
since you've worked here.
>> Victoria: But Claire isn't
me and I want her to do
what makes her happy.
>> Victor: Oh, come on now.
This damn nanny job, what
the hell kind of job is that?
That's not a long-term job.
That's not how you
plan your future.
She belongs at Newman.
With you. As your assistant.
And I don't want her anywhere
near Jack Abbott.
>> Cole: Why not?
>> Victor: Because I said so.
>> Victoria: Dad?
>> Victor: What?
>> Victoria: Are you planning
some kind of retaliation against
Jack for what happened to Mom?
>> Victor: That son of a bitch
almost ruined your
mother's life.
[ Summer chuckles ]
>> Kyle: Oh.
You really didn't need to come.
>> Summer: Well, there's no
place I'd rather be.
Hanging out with
my favorite little guy.
[ Summer laughs ]
Jack.
Didn't expect to see
you home on a work day.
>> Kyle: Dad's working
from home today. You all right?
>> Jack: Yeah,
how could I not be?
My favorite grandson just
walked in.
How were things at the park?
>> Harrison: We fed the ducks.
>> Jack: Oh, lucky ducks.
>> Harrison: You're funny.
>> Summer: And now
I think it's time for
someone to feed himself.
Ready for that grilled cheese?
>> Harrison: Yes.
>> Summer: Let's go.
>> Kyle: Dad,
are you sure you're all right?
>> Jack: Yeah, I'll be fine.
>> Kyle: Hey,
you know I know you pretty well.
Putting me off only
makes me try harder.
>> Jack: I don't want to drag
you into all this.
>> Kyle: Too late.
I've never seen Mom
this upset with you.
I want to help.
>> Jack: Your mother's dealing
with a lot of stress right now.
Harrison's kidnapping took
a lot out of all of us.
She's still struggling.
She's on edge.
>> Kyle: That might be
part of it.
But you did almost
die last night.
>> Jack: And I'm sorry she told
you about those details.
>> Kyle: And I'm glad she did.
The idea that
we almost lost you...
Dad, thank God we didn't.
It makes sense that Mom's upset,
but her anger towards you...
the hurt? I mean,
it's next level.
Is there something else
you need to tell me?
Is your relationship in trouble?
Because if it is,
I hope you know you can
talk to me about it.
>> Diane: Phyllis,
I just don't want to get into
this with you right now.
>> Phyllis: Oh, wow.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm expressing concern about
our youngest family member,
our grandbaby.
So how awful of me, right?
>> Diane: No, you are stirring
up trouble because you just
can't help yourself and you've
decided that Claire is
your latest target.
>> Phyllis: We could
have a situation on our hands.
>> Diane: We don't.
You have no restraint,
no boundaries. Well, I am
drawing one right now.
>> Phyllis: Claire could be
a threat to Harrison.
>> Diane: Or not.
You know what?
My family just went through
a terrifying ordeal, and we've
had enough drama, so why don't
you just stay in your own lane?
>> Phyllis: Um,
Summer's my daughter,
so I'm very much in my lane.
She needs to know what
her kid is up against.
>> Diane: Well,
apparently you and your daughter
have already decided
that Claire is a problem.
Why don't you give
her the benefit of the doubt?
>> Phyllis: Are you kidding me?
Her aunt is a lunatic.
In and out of the psych ward?
This girl could be a psycho in
training for all we know.
>> Diane: Oh, my God, Phyllis,
do you hear these words
coming out of your mouth?
You and I have both been seen as
psychos at different
points of our lives.
Oh, yes, we have.
So all this finger pointing,
it's not a good look
for either of us.
>> Phyllis: Listen, you,
before you go off on me,
from somebody who's
been epically demonized and
criticized for my truth,
I really wanted to see
Claire's point of view.
>> Diane: It all comes back
to you.
>> Phyllis: I understood Claire.
You know, empathized with her.
I really did.
And I told Summer, stop being so
overreactive, take a step back,
don't judge her, but...
honestly, this girl...
tried to kill her family.
She's a wild card.
>> Diane: She was brainwashed,
and she's gotten help,
and the Newmans have
welcomed her with open arms.
>> Phyllis: Yeah,
but the Newmans are adults
who can fend for themselves
with a wild card.
Harrison cannot do that.
>> Diane: Yeah,
but it's not up to you.
[ Phyllis sighs ]
>> Phyllis: Listen,
I wish, I wish that Claire's
completely rehabilitated.
I really do.
But that doesn't mean she has to
be involved with our grandson.
>> Diane: I really
don't see that happening.
>> Phyllis: Hey,
did you know that Kyle thought
it was a super-duper idea to
have Claire be Harrison's nanny?
>> Diane: What?
>> Phyllis: Yeah!
>> Diane: Kyle wouldn't put his
son in danger.
>> Phyllis: Oh, really?
Well, listen to this.
Summer wanted to err on the side
of caution, so she politely
requested to Kyle to keep
that woman away from her son,
and guess what happened?
>> Diane: I don't know,
but you're dying to tell me.
>> Phyllis: Yeah,
I was just at the park,
and um, Kyle was there with
Harrison and Claire.
They're out there looking
at ducks or something,
despite Summer's very,
very reasonable request to keep
Claire away from Harrison.
>> Diane: All right, Phyllis,
this is up to
Kyle and Summer to figure out.
>> Phyllis: I know, but you see,
Kyle doesn't really care
what Summer has to say,
so now we have to intervene.
You and me, and possibly Jack.
>> Diane: No, no, no, no,
that's enough.
We are not going to
intervene about any of this,
and I am not about to tell
Jack about it either.
>> Phyllis: What is going on
with you?
>> Diane: Nothing. I am--
I am late
for a meeting at the office.
>> Jack: Your mother
feels I went too far,
chose to put my life on
the line to save Nikki,
of all people,
and needless to say,
that didn't sit well.
>> Kyle: You saw a friend who
needed help.
You did what you thought
you had to do to save her.
I understand why you did it,
even if I hate you took
the risk.
>> Jack: I know it seems
extreme, but I just felt
I had no options.
>> Kyle: Mom doesn't
feel that way.
>> Jack: No, she does not.
>> Kyle: And she's really
broken up about it.
Playing into all the what-ifs,
how it could have gone wrong,
even if it didn't.
>> Jack: I understand her
upsets. I regret hurting her,
I really do,
but some part of me wants to
think she will eventually
understand why I did what I did.
>> Kyle: What if that
doesn't happen?
>> Jack: When I walked
in on the two of you earlier,
you seemed to be
dealing with a lot more than
her anger toward me.
When I talked with her later,
she brought up another thing
that was bothering her.
Could you perhaps
be that other thing?
>> Kyle: Mom's convinced herself
that I am trying to
undermine her at work.
I try to help her when
she makes mistakes, but instead
of seeing it as teamwork or
showing gratitude, she accuses
me of being out to get her.
>> Jack: She's not making
mistakes, Kyle.
Her work has been impeccable.
You are
the one creating this scenario.
>> Kyle: That makes no sense.
>> Jack: It makes sense if you
are still feeling resentful
about my choosing your mother
over you for the CEO position.
>> Victor: I am not
planning a damn thing,
all right?
I want to protect my
granddaughter as I protect
everyone in this family.
Jack Abbott is this far away
from being addicted again.
What if he starts popping pills?
Do you think I want
Claire near that?
[ Victoria sighs ]
>> Cole: Okay, well,
I guess we know where he stands.
>> Victoria: Classic Dad.
>> Cole: Now listen,
is this really about
Jack being sober or not?
>> Victoria: I think this is
about Jack being
the reason that Mom is serious
about getting sober.
>> Cole: All right,
is it passive resentment
or is it something else?
>> Victoria: There's definitely
nothing passive about this.
Dad can deny it all he wants,
but he is definitely
planning something and
he doesn't want us anywhere near
the Abbotts when it happens.
>> Jordan: Victor!
Victor!
Tell me what you want
and let me out of here!
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
>> Sally: How do you know
when it's finally time to
cut and run?
>> Alan: Well, I'm afraid
it's worse than I thought.
There's obviously more than one
personality at play here,
and the one I just spoke
to is... rather concerning.
>> Lily: I have been very
loyal to Jill,
and this is a complete betrayal.
So, we have to respond
accordingly.
>> Nate: You do realize she's
going to explode
when we do this, right?
>> Devon: I don't care.
She dropped a bomb on us and
we're going to return the favor.
