Phyllis Taunts a Shaken Diane After Talia’s Hatchet Job is Published, and Adam Begs Sally to Forgive Him After Apologizing

In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Tessa and Mariah tell Sharon their bad news, Faith leaves for college, and Victor thinks Sally has failed. In the previous episode, Chloe begged Sally to let go of Adam, who she complained was human garbage, and Chelsea vented about everyone thinking she was going to have a breakdown.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon, Nick, and Faith are running down a checklist when Adam arrives. They tell him Faith is on the way to college today.

Adam congratulates her and she thanks him for his kidney. He wishes her luck and is sure his kidney will enjoy itself with her.

Adam and Sharon step aside and she tells him how excited she is about her daughter starting this new chapter. He’s doing that too. He’s going to work with Jack.

She doesn’t seem on board but wishes him well, hoping it’s not about sticking it to Victor. He insists it’s because he values Jack’s respect and trust.

Sharon is sure Sally will be happy he’s found something positive. He’s surprised she’s been chatting to his ex again. Sally walks in and locks eyes with Adam.

Adam crosses to his ex and asks her to the patio.

Once they are out there, they have small talk about Faith’s departure. Sally asks what he really wants to discuss. They chat about Newman Media. She says Nick has been a nurturing boss.

Adam isn’t surprised. Although she wants to leave, he begs her to stay. When he informs her that he’s going to work for Jack, she wonders how he can juggle that with his revenge scheme.

He tells her about his fight with Chloe. She assures him he hasn’t messed with her head and can’t believe Chloe is getting involved in her personal life.

Sally assumes he wants to give her more reasons for why they split up. To her surprise, he apologizes instead.

He was a cruel jerk and feels terrible. He wasn’t fair to her and wanted to protect her. She’s proven herself worthy despite his family’s doubts.

The war with his family is over and he’s realized they should have figured out a way through this as a team. There were too many mistakes he made in the past he didn’t want to repeat.

He’s sure she’s been right about him the whole time so he hopes she can see he is being sincere and forgive him.

Meanwhile, Faith leaves to say so long to Noah. Sharon remarks to Nick that she’s the last one to leave the nest. Nick points out they come back.

She assumes Faith will move back after college. He gets a text from his dad and has to go.

Once he does, Mariah and Tessa mope in. Sitting down, they explain they were turned down by a private adoption attorney.

They were honest about their pasts and that didn’t go well. It seemed unlikely they would be chosen over people without criminal records. Sharon thinks that’s absurd.

Mariah reminds her of all the break-ins and robberies she committed. Sharon blames the cult. Tessa reminds her of all the blackmail and stealing she did. Being mixed up with sex-trafficking also doesn’t help.

Mariah feels like they are being punished for all they’ve gone through. This is all outrageous to Sharon, who hopes they aren’t giving up. She’s confident they will both be great parents and they are not quitters.

She tells them what it means to be a mom. Their pasts will make them better parents because they have learned from them.

They will be the rocks to their kids until they go out into the world on their own. Then they can keep coaching them through the highs and lows. She gives them both a hug.

At the ranch, Nikki and Victor agree that Faith is really something. He’s sure she will be successful at college.

He asks his wife why she was speaking to Talia Morgan. She explains that she convinced the journalist to shift from writing a story about Ashland to a hatchet job on Diane and her return from the dead. That gets him chuckling.

Nikki hopes the article will humiliate Diane enough to drive her out of town. Her husband urges her to be cautious. It could negatively impact Kyle and Summer.

They discuss the risks that Diane poses and Nikki is sure that everyone will see her for the fraud she is. Then Summer can be loving and supportive to Kyle, though she won’t be surprised.

They talk about how all these milestones are putting things in perspective. He worries about Adam and his wife encourages him to focus on his other children. It’s not his fault Adam is incapable of being a meaningful member of the family.

Victor won’t give up on him. Nikki looks up Talia’s article and starts reading it to him. She’s giddy and he laughs until Nick wanders in.

Victor asks him how Sally is doing. Nick says she’s lived up to expectations. His father says she didn’t bring Adam back so she is a failure.

Nick doesn’t think anyone could have talked Adam into coming back. His father remains skeptical but Nick is sure she will excel once she gets Adam out of her system.

Victor still doesn’t trust her and thinks she should be fired.

Eating at Society, Phyllis and Summer talk about how nice it is to work together.

Summer worries about the article that Talia is writing and how it could affect Harrison. It seems like old news by now so she wonders why it hasn’t been published.

Phyllis guesses her daughter doesn’t trust her. Summer admits something seems off about how well-behaved she’s been around Diane.

Her mom insists she’s just being nice and biting her tongue.

She’s doing that for her. This seems like more than faking a smile to Summer.

Phyllis assures her she doesn’t have to worry and waves concerns about Diane away.

If Diane self-implodes, however, she won’t be shedding any tears.

In his office at Jabot, Jack tells Kyle that the projections for Marchetti look good.

Sitting down, he explains to his son that he has filled his position.

Kyle is okay with that as long as it’s not Adam. Jack explains it is. His son worries that giving the Newman power is a recipe for disaster. He’ll be keeping his eye on him.

Jack urges him to be optimistic. Kyle will try and explains he’s planning a wedding. The wedding in Milan was beautiful but they’d like to have a celebration at the house.

Jack is clearly moved by the idea and would be honored to host that at the Abbott home.

As they exit the office, Diane overhears and asks what they are celebrating.

Jack leaves them to it. Kyle tells his mom his plans. She thinks that’s wildly romantic and offers to help however she can. She’s so grateful to be involved after all she’s missed.

This celebration almost feels like it’s for her and she’s over the moon. Phyllis and Summer walk in and Diane tells them it’s another day of her counting her blessings.

When Kyle and Summer are left alone, she wonders why he was being conspiratorial about with his mom. He reminds her they need to get to a conference call.

Meanwhile, Phyllis grills Diane about what she walked in on when she arrived. Diane says that wasn’t for public consumption. Phyllis thinks that’s rich given what Talia Morgan published today.

Diane insists she hasn’t done anything wrong in years. The people who matter have moved on and she has no time for those who haven’t.

Phyllis is sure she must be disturbed to know this article will let everyone know she is the most hated woman in Genoa City.

Diane looks up the article and groans. She’s crushed. Phyllis gets in her face and tells her how juicy it is. She explains this is only the first of a series of articles on her. Diane shakes her head.

“We’re having a problem with the direction of the shoot and the problem is with Tessa,” Lauren informs Kyle through gritted teeth as Tessa looks uncomfortable in a red frock.

“I’ve taken a job at Jabot as Jack’s co-CEO,” Adam informs Victor.
