In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, restless Chance and Chelsea meet up to talk, Sally attempts to reassure Nick of her competence, and Diane tells Kyle and Summer of her suspicions of Phyllis.

In the previous episode, Imani encouraged Nate to get ruthless, Nick gave Sally a second chance after she screwed up but warned her to get Adam out of her system.

Nick is surprised to see Sally working in her office after hours. After everything that happened today, she wanted to end on a strong note and prove to everyone she belongs in her chair.

Closing the door, he tells her they need to talk about that. His sister wasn’t crazy about her messing up today. She appreciates him glossing over the details with Victoria.

“Am I out of a job?” she wonders. He didn’t come to fire her but his sister is losing her patience.

She’s realized Victoria isn’t in her corner. Nick still believes in her.

She’s glad at least one senior exec is pulling for her and assures him she’s doing all in her power to salvage the situation. He can’t guarantee that will be enough.

Sally senses he wonders about her slipping thanks to Adam again.

She won’t blame all her missteps on him messing with her. “I am nobody’s victim,” she says.

This is about her own insecurities and fears. That surprises him because he thinks she’s fearless. Sally says she’s always known that she’s destined for something great and has fought to succeed.

He’s sure people are impressed. She admits she’s stumbled and is often her own worst enemy. Some small part of her still feels like an impostor. She’s determined to prove herself but still feels lost.

Nick knows how she feels. He knows she knows the truth about how Locke died. She assures him it was an accident. He’s still struggling to find a way to live with it and move on.

Sally tells him he’s a good person and deserves all the good things. He just has to believe in himself. Nick says that’s the exact advice he was going to give her.

She suggests they agree not to stop fighting for what they want. They shake on it and stare into each other’s eyes.

Victoria stops by the ranch to see her mom.

She asks Nikki why she’s leaving town for a while.

Victoria wonders why she wouldn’t ask Marchetti.

Nikki claims she wants it to be a surprise. Her daughter thinks this could be done by phone and wonders why she’s really hopping on a plane.

Nikki avoids eye contact and eventually admits to her daughter that her trip is about Diane.

She’s determined to confront the one person who may have information on her, Deacon Sharpe.

“No, no for a million reasons!” Victoria blurts. She suggests she get Talia to dig for dirt but Nikki is sure that Deacon is the man with the answers.

Victoria thinks he’s disgusting and reminds her of their toxic dynamic. He even blackmailed her into marrying him. She worries this could trigger her to reach for a drink.

Sitting her daughter down, Nikki tells her that there is nothing Deacon can do to her now. If anything, he should be scared about seeing her.

Victoria wonders why this is happening now.

Her mother is sure Diane is incapable of change and will bring the pain again unless someone stops her. She’ll do whatever she has to to get that woman out of their lives.

Nikki assures her that Victor supports this and will be sending his security team along. Her daughter makes her promise to be careful and gives her a hug.

After Victoria exits, Nikki calls Phyllis and tells her they are going ahead with their plan.

She reminds her to put on the pressure at Marchetti.

Victor wanders into Society and finds Jack, who asks him to join him for a drink. He doubts that he wants to toast his latest hire.

They chat about why Jack hired Adam.

The Abbott claims he just trusted him and thought he was the right fit. He wants to spend more time with his grandchild.

Victor says Adam suggested he hired him to distract him from revenge.

Jack is convinced this will benefit all of them. After laughing, Victor says, “Hiring Adam will be a huge mistake.”

Jack tells him to get real and reminds him of all the times he’s ripped by rug out from under his son. Victor tells him his son only sees what he wants to see.

The Abbott reminds him of all the times he’s done this dance with his son. He left him out in the cold. What does he think would happen? Luckily, he saw the light and accepted his job offer.

Victor clarifies that hiring Adam is a huge mistake for him.

He only accepted the offer to piss him off and will take off quickly given that no one at Jabot likes him.

Furrowing his brow, he wonders why he let Diane and Phyllis into the company together.

Jack makes excuses and the Mustache chuckles, wishing him good luck in the people he’s putting his faith in.

Jack is going to overlook his condescending attitude. Victor insists he’s not. He’s just warning him. He’s done with his son and is cutting his losses.

“I don’t believe that for a second,” Jack says.
