At Noah’s club, he throws a party to honor Summer and Kyle. Nick asks Phyllis to forgive Noah when he asks.
She looks appalled but does so and then slumps on the 1970s sofa while Mariah asks who is ready to dance. Phyllis isn’t.
Nearby, Diane sips champagne and snarks about how Phyllis looks like she’s about to throw a tantrum.
Traci hopes they can all behave themselves today. Nick goes to Phyllis. He knows Diane’s the last person she wants to see.
She tears up and tells him she lost her job and blames Diane. Nick asks her to put it behind her for the night.
Phyllis makes a toast and tells the room she and Diane are capable of being in the same room.
She calls the club beautiful and the party. She’s certain it’ll be a big hit.
She struggles with tears and thanks them for including her at the party. She toasts to one of the best couples she knows. Everyone dances and she plasters a smile on her face as she gawks at Diane.
Mariah stops the dancing and appoints herself the best person so she could make a speech. Nick appoints himself King of the Dance Floor. They laugh.
Mariah thinks he’d rather have Harrison or Jack as a best man but she says she’s thrilled these two are renewing their vows as someone who recently married the love of her life.
She knows how important it is and raises a glass.
Everyone else does and Phyllis looks lost.
Noah has another chance at the brother of the bride speech.
He calls Summer incredible.
Kyle’s lucky to have her.
They all drink to that with Diane smiling at Noah.
Later, Summer and Kyle give Diane and Phyllis back their jobs.
They get one more shot.
The woman are grateful and agree to be cool about it and do the best jobs they can.
Later, Diane tells Jack the good news. She gets a mysterious text from someone who says they can’t wait any longer.
They’re on the way to Genoa City.
She seems very concerned and when Jack questions her, she claims it was spam. She starts looking sicker by the minute and Phyllis n otices.
