Diane and Jack went home and enjoyed a “normal” evening together. Of course, they talked about Phyllis, and Diane admitted that the woman might walk on her charges. Jack predicted that Phyllis wouldn’t have time to go after Diane, given how much mending fences she had to do.

Y&R Recap: Pride
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) freaked out on Heather (Vail Bloom) over Christine failing to drop the charges. She worried that Carson might recant his testimony, and that made Heather suspicious. Phyllis reassured Heather that she just didn’t trust Christine, but Phyllis said Heather didn’t know Christine’s dark side.
Heather told Phyllis she didn’t believe Phyllis and said she needed her full honesty. Phyllis tearfully told Heather that Tucker had her under his thumb. Heather wanted the full truth, but Phyllis lied and said Carson was a witness. Heather suggested that they fast-track the trial, and she suggested they deactivate Tucker’s threat while Phyllis focused on making amends.
Billy walked up as Phyllis said she planned to make big changes if she beat the charges. He asked Heather if Phyllis had a prayer of doing that, and Phyllis said she had an eyewitness. Billy left, and Heather promised to make sure Carson was protected. As Heather walked out of the GCAC, Tucker followed her.
Billy walked back over and asked to join Phyllis. He wanted to tell her something about Summer. He let Phyllis know how impressed he’s been with Summer during the whole ordeal, and Billy said Phyllis should be proud. He warned Phyllis not to break Summer’s spirit. She said she knew she had to turn things around or she’d lose everything.
Phyllis asked how Kyle and Jack reacted to her return, and Billy didn’t know about Kyle. However, he said Jack was skeptical, and Diane wanted her to pay for her crimes. Heather returned, and Billy left. She dropped the bombshell that Carson had disappeared.
