Jack: Dizzy reece, “soundin’ off.” First van gelder mono, factory sealed and vinyl. My friend neil would go crazy over this. So? You can’t find these, I’m tellin’ ya.

Diane: This must be our lucky night.

Jack: Oh, in more ways than one. Thank you for suggesting mo’S.

Diane: Well, it’s your favorite record store, and tonight, we’re going to do all of our favorite things.

Jack: Everything I do with you is my new favorite thing.

[ Diane laughing ] I am sorry that tucker and ashley spoiled our time at society.

Diane: Nope! Already forgotten because this night is not over.

Jack: Oh, other plans?

Diane: Yes. Drinks first.

Jack: Oh! Well, let me get you something at the bar, all right?

Diane: No, no, no! No, no. No, no. I got this. Two martinis, one dirty, one with extra olives, and I can’t wait to chat up the bartender or mixologist or whatever he wants to be called, because I am dying for small talk with strangers. Like, what kind of gin does he prefer, and how we both know that it should be stirred, not shaken because gin is so much more delicate than vodka.

Jack: You are an absolute wonder.

Diane: Hmm. I’ve just gotten my life back for the second time since coming home to genoa city and I plan on soaking up every minute of it.

Summer: Oh my, god, mom, you’ve got to let this go.

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Oh. Wow, that looks… festive?

Kyle: Yeah. I want it to be perfectly chill by the time my parents get home. We can finally toast to my mom’s freedom.

Phyllis: Hey. Summer, I’m getting desperate. Please, please, answer me.

Daniel: Well, we cut the drop off pretty close. I’m glad you made it to your gate in time. I love you, too, luce. You have a safe flight. Oh, um, and… text me when you land. I don’t care what time it is, okay? ‘Kay. Bye.

[ Phone chiming ] Who’s this?

Sharon: You’re right, nikki. Cameron started causing problems for me the minute he got to town. He… wanted me. And he made it evident that if his deal was gonna happen with nicholas, I was gonna have to chip in a little on the side.

Nikki: And you never told your husband about this ugly game this guy was playing with you?

Sharon: How could I tell him?

Nikki: How could you not? This guy was comin’ after you. Do you think for a moment that nicholas wouldn’t have supported you?

Sharon: Oh, my god. Oh, it’s you.

Nick: Sorry. You okay?

Sharon: Yeah, I’m just a little jumpy.

Nick: Yeah, you need to start locking the doors, sharon.

Sharon: Good idea.

Nick: All right, if you’re done here, let’s go. I’ll take you home.

Sharon: You don’t have to drive me.

Nick: Sorry. You don’t get a say in that.

Sharon: Well, you already beefed up security.

Nick: Well, you can never be too safe. And until kirsten is out of our lives, you’re gonna have to deal with it.

Sharon: You know, every time I hear a noise or I get a delivery, or my phone rings, I’m afraid. I know, it’s silly.

Nick: No. It’s not silly at all. Not with a monster like that on the loose.

Cameron: Not bad. Not bad at all. I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: Here you go.

Jack: Oh.

Diane: The reason there’s an odd number of olives is because an even number is bad luck.

Jack: Well, I think luck’s gotta be a big part of our evening.

Diane: Mmm.

Jack: So, um… where’s your drink?

Diane: In all the excitement of interacting with the outside world, I forgot my martini.

Jack: Kyle is forever forgetting his phone these days. I hope it isn’t inherited.

Diane: I would hate to think I passed down that trait.

Jack: Now, wait a minute. Where’d you just go now?

Diane: It’s– it’s nothing. I was just thinking that the night of the gala, kyle lost his phone in here, and that set off the whole chain of events that became a nightmare.

Jack: I’m sorry, I did not mean to bring all that up. That is over now. Good fortune is on our side from here on out.

Diane: And, I– I know, and I– I– I do feel fortunate. But jack, I just worry about what this has done to kyle and summer. I mean, I– I watch them, I listen, and they don’t seem to be connected. It’s like they’re living separate lives.

Jack: None of this has been easy for either of them. None of this has been easy for us. What with phyllis alive, and you out from under these charges, I’m hoping that life can get back to some semblance of normal. All of the stress will start to slowly go away and that will be better for everyone. Summer and kyle included. And we will be there for them, but until then, tonight, this is about you. About your courage, about your strength. It’s a celebration of you. So, where do we go now?

Diane: I think I’m going back to the bar to get my drink. I’ll be right back.

Summer: Oh, hey!

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Let me help you with that. I was about to come find you.

Kyle: Yeah. Harrison and the nanny are out catching fireflies by the pool house.

Summer: Mmm.

Kyle: So nice seeing him excited and carefree and laughing. It’s almost as if the kid notices a burden has been lifted off of this house. Oh, uh, look, I’m sorry. I know it must be hard for you, celebrating a homecoming of sorts, knowing your mother’s still out there.

Summer: I need to go out.

Kyle: Again?

Summer: Yeah, I need to talk to daniel.

Kyle: Okay, can’t it wait ’til morning?

Summer: No, he just dropped off lucy at the airport, so he’s got time right now.

Kyle: Summer, it’s late. My parents will be home soon.

Summer: Look, things have been a mess between me and daniel. I mean, you’ve seen it. We’re so angry at each other and I know that my mom would hate that, so I just feel like while we’re waiting to see her, it’s– it’s one of the only things that we can do, is clear up the animosity between us. I mean, you can understand that, right?

Kyle: Look, I’m all for you resolving your issues with daniel.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I’m sorry, I know that I’ve hurt you. The way that I’ve shut down and shut you out, and… I really am so sorry, I know… I believe that you’re on my side, even if I don’t deserve it.

Kyle: Why would you say that? Of course you do.

Summer: I love you.

Kyle: I love you, too. And I will always be on your side. And I will be waiting here when you get back. Unless you want me to come with you.

Summer: No! Uh… I mean you should– you should stay here and celebrate with your folks. I mean, your family is healing, and the least I can do is try to do the same for mine.

Sharon: I’m sure you have enough going on without babysitting me. You missed all those calls from sally. Is she okay?

Nick: Yeah, uh… news isn’t great. Apparently, sally’s at risk for pre-eclampsia.

Sharon: Nick, that’s serious.

Nick: I know. So she’s gonna scale back her work, and, uh, try and take it easy. A lot more rest. Get on the meds, and uh… lot of monitoring.

Sharon: Maybe you should go and be with her right now.

Nick: Ah, she’s home. She’s safe now. I’ll feel a lot better when I get you home. You know, with cameron kirsten on the loose, we all have to be on defcon one right now.

Sharon: Still can’t believe he approached faith, and it’s totally my fault.

Nick: Why would you say that?

Sharon: Because when cameron delivered that cigar box to the front porch, faith was there. I could have warned her, right then, what was going on, to be careful. Maybe then, she would have run the other direction when cameron approached her in the park. I thought that I was protecting her. I was… leaving her to be vulnerable.

Nick: Well, she knows now.

Sharon: I told her about everything that happened with cameron after you and chance left.

Nick: Well, I’m sure that wasn’t easy, but faith needed to know. She needed the truth. We all have to have our eyes wide open right now.

Sharon: Every time I open the door, I’m afraid I’m gonna run into another one of cameron’s sick gifts. And I have a feeling his head games are just getting started.

Diane: Thank you.

Cameron: Shouldn’t leave your drink unattended like that.

Diane: Excuse me?

Cameron: Your martini. It’s been sitting there for a while. You shouldn’t do that. Any kind of creep could come along, drop something in it. No one would notice. You got no idea what some people will do.

Diane: I think it’s okay.

Cameron: Just saying. You can’t trust anybody.

Diane: Well, I– I think I can trust anyone here. I come here all the time, with– with my husband, and between the two of us, we know everyone in this room.

Cameron: Do you know me?

Diane: Excuse me, I’m going back to the table with my husband.

[ Diane sighing ] Do you mind mixing another one of these for me?

Cameron: Smart move. Family is just very important.

Jack: So, you think this guy touched your drink?

Diane: Well, I– I don’t know, it was just kind of disturbing.

Jack: You didn’t recognize him at all?

Diane: Well, he looked familiar.

Jack: Incoming.

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Victor: How’d you do it?

Nikki: Yes, how did you do it, diane? I mean, michael is a good attorney, but even he can’t get you off on murder charges. You must’ve lied through your teeth to convince them to let you free.

Diane: Didn’t need to lie, nikki. I’m innocent.

[ Nikki scoffing ]

Jack: Summer!

Diane: What’s she doing here?

Victor: Join us, sweetheart.

Daniel: Thank you.

Summer: I know where she is.

Daniel: How is she?

Summer: She’s not turning herself in. I know that much. Not until we can be sure that she can get her life back.

Daniel: Okay. Okay, so, wh– what’s the plan? What do we do?

Summer: There’s no “we,” daniel. I told you that she’s safe. That’s all that you need to know. I’m handling this on my own, without your special brand of help.

Daniel: Is this you, mom?

Nick: The idea of that creep, cameron, being anywhere near faith, or you?

Sharon: Nick, promise me that you won’t do anything.

Nick: You mean like throw his ass out of an airplane again?

Sharon: You know I… blocked all those memories out, for years, but… lately, they’ve been coming back to me. I know that I was young and stupid, but I’m still ashamed of what I did.

Nick: You were confused. And hurt.

Sharon: My choices brought that madman into our lives. If you hadn’t saved me from cameron’s plane that night…

Nick: It all worked out. And we’re gonna beat him this time, too.

Sharon: I was terrified. I was afraid of you finding out what cameron did. I was afraid of going to the police, and it just made everything so much worse.

Nick: Yeah. When I found out what he did to you… I wanted to break him in half. But not this time. I’m so much smarter now, so we’re gonna– we’re gonna let the police handle it. Along with chance, they will make sure he ends up back in prison. Speaking of which, have you heard from chance?

Sharon: Uh, no.

Nick: Well, you know cameron’s not who he was either. He may have all his millions, but he’s got a record now. That means he’s not untouchable.

Sharon: You know what scares me?

Nick: What?

Sharon: I don’t think he cares. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri. deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul, available now at walmart. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Diane: Are you meeting kyle here?

Summer: No, I’m here to see daniel. Diane, I… heard the news.

Victor: Well, this must be hell of a shock to you. Diane jenkins, allowed to go free?

Nikki: As if you weren’t grieving enough. But don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before the authorities realize they made a mistake and she’ll be back in that ankle monitor.

Victor: What is that look all about?

Summer: Everyone’s gonna find out anyway.

Nikki: Find out what, darling?

Summer: My mom’s alive.

Nikki: What?

Victor: What do you mean, your mom’s alive?

Summer: She’s alive. She contacted daniel. She told him everything, that she was in this really vulnerable place and stark manipulated her into marrying him and then faking her death to frame diane for murder.

Nikki: Oh! Well, of course he did. He’s a very evil man.

Diane: Oh, really?

Victor: Where’s phyllis now?

Summer: I don’t know. She’s on the run. She’s the one that killed stark.

Nikki: My god!

Summer: It was self-defense! It was, I mean, mom realized what a huge mistake she mad and she wanted to come home, but stark, he wouldn’t let her. He attacked her and she had to– and now she’s just– she’s terrified. She’s afraid of the charges that she might be facing.

Nikki: This is unbelievable. I– I’m so sorry you have to go through this.

Summer: I have to hold on to the fact that my mom’s alive, you know? And for the rest of it, that’s why I’m here to see daniel. We’ve gotta figure out what– what comes next.

Victor: What comes next? So, the woman has the guts to come face you and your brother, and then face the music, the consequence of her actions.

Summer: Grandpa, it’s– it’s really complicated. I– look, I gotta go. I gotta go meet daniel, I’m sorry.

Nikki: Darling, if there’s anything that we can do, please call.

Victor: Okay, sweetheart.

Summer: Thank you. Thanks.

Nikki: Oh, poor summer.

Diane: Mmm.

Victor: This is stunning. Always alive, while letting her children think that she’s dead. They mourn over her. Who the hell would do that?

Nikki: I’m sure I wouldn’t know, but that is diane’s area of expertise. Are you pleased with yourself? You pushed phyllis to the edge, and this is the outcome.

Diane: You think this is my fault?

Nikki: It wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t come back to town–

Jack: Nikki, truth and justice won here.

Diane: You know, it’s kind of ironic. Phyllis tried to frame me for murder, and yet, she actually committed one.

Jack: I’m sure you both came here for a peaceful drink together?

Victor: You bet.

Jack: Good. Have a good evening.

Diane: Get your card. Good. Good night.

Phyllis: Ah, there you are. Come in.

Summer: How did you know that I was out there?

Phyllis: Finally! I’ve been waiting for hours, summer.

Summer: No, you have not been waiting for hours, and mom, I thought that we agreed that you wouldn’t text me when I would be with kyle.

Phyllis: Well, there are more important things than tiptoeing around kyle, summer–

Summer: Oh, because everything is about you right now?

Phyllis: No, it’s about you and your brother, actually.

Summer: It’s not about me and my brother. This is about you wanting to see daniel, right? But mom, we already had this conversation. I already told you. And I told you why you can’t see daniel, because if he saw you, if he knew where you were, he would go straight to the police, because he is all about the truth, and you would go to jail, so no, you can’t see daniel!

Phyllis: About that…

[ Knocking on door ]

Summer: Oh, my god, are you serious right now?

Phyllis: Might be too late.

Daniel: Hello?

Phyllis: Oh.

Summer: No, you’ve gotta be kidding me.

Phyllis: Okay, I didn’t want to make things worse.

Summer: How could it get any worse than it is right now?

Phyllis: You and your brother are at odds. This is my fault, summer. I had to take matters into my own hands.

Daniel: Hello?

Summer: I guess I’ll get it.

Daniel: Summer. What are you doing here? Wha– what the hell is going on? Did you send me this weird text?

Phyllis: I did.

Nick: You know what? I don’t want to talk about cameron anymore. In fact, I’m going to proclaim this a cameron-free zone. So, let’s clean up this place, and then I will take you home. So what else can I do to speed up this process?

Sharon: Um, how about… sugar duty?

Nick: Sugar duty. Does that mean I get first pick of the day-old muffins?

Sharon: You know the drill. RefillS.

Nick: Right. It’s like riding a bike. If I was the sugar, where would I be?

Sharon: In the back. Top shelf, left.

Nick: Top shelf, left.

Sharon: And I am going to grab the sugar containers from the patio.

Nick: All right. She found it. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Jack: This is it. The room where your future changed in an instant.

Diane: I was so happy that night, the… happiest I’d ever been. I was engaged and loved. Dancing in your arms. Excited about our future, and then… then jeremy bumped into you, and phyllis collapsed and just… everything changed.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Jack: You’ve done the work. You came here, you faced your past. Now, let me take you outta here, huh?

Diane: Dance with me.

[ Piano playing]

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. God. Shh. Shh. My son. Oh, daniel. Are you okay?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Are you all right?

Daniel: Yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

Daniel: Yeah, I mean, you know, knowing you were alive was one thing, but… seeing you…

Phyllis: See, this is good. This is good. Okay? I was right to do this, summer. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Summer: On what planet, mom?

Phyllis: Okay, listen. I’m gonna tell you what I told your sister, okay? I am so sorry for what I did to you, and I promise you, I’m gonna spend the rest of my life making it up to you, every single day.

Daniel: You could have ended this weeks ago at the memorial service, but instead, you let us grieve? You chose to walk away, you chose revenge over your family.

Phyllis: No. No, I was confused.

Daniel: No, the choice seems pretty clear to me.

Phyllis: Okay, listen. I admitted I’m wrong, okay? And I am. And you know what? The memorial service, that made me see how wrong I was, and I saw how important I was to you and your sister. And you drew that beautiful portrait of me. That gorgeous portrait of me just showed how much you love me.

Daniel: I painted that portrait memory because that was my way of trying to keep you alive. I mean, you were– you were there the whole time.

Phyllis: I know. I loved that portrait. But you know what it did for me? It made me realize how much you love me and it gave me strength. And you know what, babe? You know what? That’s why I couldn’t throw it away.

Summer: You did throw it away, though. And chance found it. That’s how he got your dna. There’s an apb out for you. The murder charges against diane have been dropped.

Cameron: I didn’t mean to startle you.

Sharon: We’re closed. And you’re not welcome.

Cameron: I’ve imagined this moment so many times.

Sharon: If you want to have a conversation, try tomorrow at the police station. I will meet you there. Or not. Now, go.

Cameron: All that fire. God, you still burn bright, don’t you?

Sharon: You need to leave, cameron. I mean it.

Cameron: I miss the way you say my name. Come on. We had some good times, didn’t we?

Sharon: No. We did not. Now, get out.

Cameron: I’ve never forgotten one single thing about you, sharon. Your mind. That mouth on you. The way you knew how to use it. God knows I tried to forget. I prayed to forget, but it was impossiblE.

Sharon: Why are you here? Want a smarter way to mop?

Nikki: As angry as I am at phyllis for what she’s put daniel and summer through, diane is right up there. Her insufferable gloating.

Victor: Oh, uh–

Nikki: And now she’s free to wreak havoc on the town again.

Victor: Well, now, that’s jack abbott’s problem, so just… ignore her.

Nikki: Nope, I can’t do that. And she has jack so besotted, he doesn’t know which way is up. I’ll tell you this. Once they are married, we all better watch out because she will use jack’s name to open as many doors as she can and begin her reign of terror.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: Hey. You okay?

Diane: Very.

Phyllis: Wow. Diane got out from under the charges. Amazing. Well, she got away with it again.

Daniel: She’s innocent. I mean, the person that she supposedly killed is very much alive. I’m– I’m standing here looking at her.

Phyllis: Diane is looking at a fairytale life and I am looking at a huge mess.

Daniel: A mess you created, mom.

Phyllis: I told you, I regret it.

Daniel: Do you regret it because what you did was wrong, or because your plan fell apart?

Summer: Daniel, can you just stop? We need to focus on what we do to get out of this that doesn’t involve telling the police that we know where mom is.

Daniel: Okay, no, no, no, no. The sneaking around needs to end.

Summer: Not with mom behind bars.

Daniel: So what do we do? We just don’t say anything?

Summer: Yes, for now.

Daniel: What about kyle?

Summer: My god, can you just leave him out of this?

Daniel: No, I can’t leave him out of this, summer. He’s your husband, and he loves you, and he’s worried about you. He deserves to know.

Summer: He will know. When the time is right.

Daniel: Oh, when the time is right. What’s that timetable look like, huh? Do you think that your marriage is gonna survive it?

Summer: It’s better than just telling the police to help themselves to our mom!

Phyllis: Stop it! Stop it, I mean it. Stop. I won’t have this. Look what I’ve done to our family. We should not be at odds. We love each other, we fight, but we protect each other. Listen, I can’t put you guys through this. I have to take care of this on my own. Seriously. I mean, just disappear and take care of it on my own.

Summer: No, I’m not gonna let you do that!

Daniel: No. No, no, no.

Phyllis: I– I have to. Look what I’ve done to you. Now, you’re accessories to a crime? You could get into a lot of trouble!

Summer: Protect our loved ones at all costs. That’s what you taught me, mom, so that is what we’re gonna do. Right?

Daniel: Whatever it takes.

Phyllis: Really? Are you sure?

Daniel: I love you, mom.

Summer: I love you.

[ Phyllis exhaling ]

Phyllis: I love you. Want a hug? Or you have boundaries, I know.

Cameron: That’s it? That’s your only question, why am I here? Aren’t you a little curious about, I don’t know, maybe, um… how I’ve been, where I’ve been, what I’ve been doin’ 24 hours a day, day in, day out for the last 20 years? ‘Cause I’ve sure as hell been curious about you. Maybe that’s why I’m here. Curiosity. Look, I know we had our problems, but nobody ever touched me the way you did. What we shared… come on, that connection was real. And I know you felt it. I liked it.

Nick: Hey! You get away from her. You stay away from everyone in my family. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: I have never seen you more beautiful more radiant and more alive.

Diane: That’s because I’m about to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life.

Jack: I promised you the wedding of your dreams. Have you made any decisions? Destination wedding, something closer to home? Barefoot on the beach? Five stars, the whole works?

Diane: I don’t care if we have fireworks and a parade or we just go down to the justice of the peace. I just want to be your wife, jack. The sooner, the better.

Phyllis: So, christine put out an apb on me. Wow, she must be loving this. You know, she’s not gonna be happy until she sees me in handcuffs, walking into that police station with the cameras rolling.

Daniel: Well, you were pretty horrible to her back in the day.

Phyllis: I wasn’T.

Summer: Can we focus? We have another situation.

Phyllis: What is it?

Summer: I told grandma and grandpa that you’re alive, and about stark.

Phyllis: Summer! Victor and nikki? Why’d you do that?

Summer: Because they were downstairs in the dining room, and jack and diane were there.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Was diane having a victory meal? Was she– I mean, I shouldn’t feel bad because she’s living her life free and clear, blah, blah, blah, right?

Daniel: So you told them, but you didn’t tell kyle?

Summer: Daniel, you’re the one that already told everyone, so yeah, I just– I would rather them hear it from me.

Phyllis: So you know what this means, huh? I mean, victor is gonna get his personal security on me. I mean, they’ll find me immediately. I– I should just turn myself in.

Daniel: That would be the right thing to do.

Summer: Oh, my god, stop with the whole “right thing.” The right thing is to protect our mom until we can clear her of stark’s murder.

Phyllis: I agree with summer on that, daniel.

Daniel: Cool. Great. You agree with summer on that. Do you have a plan, then?

Phyllis: I actually do. So, I hacked in to all of stark’s personal records and accounts. I just need to find a paper trail to show what a horrible person he was. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner in that room, daniel. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner. Honestly, it was his life or mine!

Daniel: Did you have any luck with it?

Phyllis: I need to find the emt. His name is carson. That’s why we need all the help we can get.

Summer: Unless your conscience is gonna be a problem, daniel?

Daniel: Okay, look. Things are moving fast, so we need to get out ahead of them. First order of business, finding you a different place to hide. We need some place isolated, and some place that’s a hell of a lot safer than here. Summer. Any ideas?

Summer: I need to sleep on it. I’ve been gone for way too long, and you know what? I gotta go. I don’t want kyle to worry about me, so I’m gonna check in with you both in the morning.

Kyle: What the hell?

Cameron: Hey, slick. Long time, no see. I’m guessing you haven’t missed me about as much as I haven’t missed you.

Nick: You better get outta here before I tear you apart.

Sharon: Nick…

Cameron: Always a hothead. Hey. Nothin’ to see here, boss. Just stopped in to say hi. Hi. Hi. Oh. You know, I ran into your daughter, faith.

Nick: Now, you watch your mouth.

Cameron: Polite little girl. And such a little beauty. Just like her mama.

Nick: You don’t talk about her, you don’t even say her name.

Cameron: No, I come in peace, man. You’re threatenin’ violence?

Nick: Oh, that’s not a threat. That’s a promise.

[ Cameron whistling ]

Cameron: You really hold a grudge.
