Telling Claire what her ‘vile’ grandfather did, Kyle won’t let him get away with this. He’s paying the price – my grandmother moved out, Claire defends Victor. Open your eyes – he’s not a good person, Kyle’s frustrated.
At the club, Victoria tells Nate that she delivered a letter to Phyllis from her daughter – hopefully it gets through to her.
In her office, Phyllis reads the scathing letter that reduces her to tears. Summer will never forgive her and doesn’t want to see her again.
Giving Jack a pep talk, Billy also blames Victor and is optimistic that Diane just needs some time and space.
Sharing a weepy goodbye hug, Tessa vows that she and Aria and I will be waiting for her.
At Society, Phyllis thanks Daniel for coming. Read this, she slides the letter across the bar.
Having read the letter, Victoria knows it will be a dagger to Phyllis’ heart (and is happy about that) Lily’s back – the kidnapping was a ruse, and Nate wants to know why Victoria kept the truth from him.
Jack’s glad to hear that Billy’s going to London to see his Mom – at least one Abbott will have a happy ending.
Victoria’s so sorry she kept Nate in the dark. ‘My father ….’ Nate’s disappointed in her, and Lily. It’s a hard truth for him to get past.
Can you believe how harsh that is? Phyllis appeals to Daniel. She doesn’t know where all this hatred is coming from. Am I losing both of you???
Yes, my grandfather went too far, but you can’t blame him for Jack’s decision, Claire points out that Diane blames him, not Victor. You’re just another Newman steadfast in your loyalty, no matter the cost, Kyle’s harsh words stun Claire.
Tessa and Mariah exchange more touching parting words; ‘I’ll be seeing you ~hug~ Tessa’s left to weep.
If I can fix things with my mother, you can fix things with Diane, Billy’s only a phone call away. Thank you, brother, Jack’s grateful.
Nikki stood up to Victor and YOU won’t, Kyle thinks this may be an issue he and Claire can never get past.
Nate doesn’t think of Victor as well as Victoria does – desperation makes people do crazy things sometimes.
Phyllis runs one of the biggest conglomerations in the world. She never thought she’d reach this level of success and that her kids would hate her for it. Why all this vitriol? she’s mystified. ‘Give it all back’ or we want nothing to do with you, Daniel’s blunt.
Victor, Jack, Cane have all taken over companies, Phyllis wonders why there’s another set of rules for; everyone else gets away with it. We’re a family. Not anymore, Daniel walks out.
Victoria understands that Nate’s struggling with her keeping this secret from him – will we be alright? He has to ask – if Lily wasn’t in on it would you still have condoned Victor’s actions?
The more Devon thinks about it, the more upset he is that Mariah isn’t going to prison. Once released, will she just come back like nothing’s happened? Abby wonders how they’ll protect their son.
Arriving at CL’s, Daniel stares at Tessa (who stares back)
Mom’s not ready to see you or forgive you, Kyle’s home to report. Jack vows to find a way.
Phyllis crumples up the letter and flicks it onto the floor. To hell with you. I don’t need anyone; I can do this alone, she tells herself.
