Kyle and Traci explain that Patty tried to kill Jack with Digitalis – then injected Diane. She could have died! Jack won’t rest until he sees with his own eyes that Diane’s OK.

You thought you’d run Chancellor? Not my Mother? Victoria scoffs. Adam (and Chelsea) are ready to get back in the game – they want to rebuild Newman Media from the ashes of Cane’s old company. That’s not possible – Victor gave it to Phyllis.

Nikki’s now gingerly walking around the living room by herself – counting the steps until she successfully makes her way to the couch.

Billy hugs Ashley, then sits by Jack’s bedside to hear the latest news. Jack’s feeling much better; he’s been bossing everyone around, his sisters joke. Buzzkill Jack worries that he’s lost Diane forever.

You gave Arabesque to Phyllis? Victor’s three kids clearly disapprove. She saved your life (along with Matt Clark) Victor reminds Nick. Adam, the self-declared ‘black sheep’, wonders if he’ll get a ‘consolation prize’.

Laura (someone who works at the ranch) hands Nikki her phone.

Jack’s siblings reassure him that Diane still loves him. He just wants to know that she’s OK. Look who I found, Kyle brings his mother in. After all leave, Jack’s glad to see that Diane’s OK – but are WE OK?

‘Victoria must have gone out’, Nikki tells Laura that she wants to get to her room on her own – but ‘stay close’. Laura follows Nikki as she counts the steps.

You’ve handed out companies to Lily and Phyllis, Adam grumbles. But, when Victor says he’s going after Spectra Charles, he doesn’t want to go after Sally. Phyllis gave the company to Billy Boy Abbott – we’ll get back from him, Victor says.

Are we finally rid of Patty for good? the Abbotts sure hope so. Kyle chimes in that if his parents don’t get back together, she (Patty) won.

Are you still in pain? Diane asks. This is where it hurts the most, Jack puts her hand on his heart. In tears, she never stopped loving him. There’s nothing she wants more than to spend the rest of her life with Jack. I forgive you. I love you ~kiss~ Both are in tears.

Next Week: Am I an honourary Abbott now? Lauren asks. All in favour? Traci and Ashley both raise a hand – aye … Just give us 6 months to put our plan in action, Adam pitches – then you can do whatever you want. Victor will make one offer – take it or leave it… Victor’s a big target yet we all miss him, Billy opines. Not this time, Kyle says. What do you have planned? Billy wonders … You’re not the Abbott I was hoping for, Patty says when Kyle comes to visit her in her cell.
