Jack says it was a very easy decision to make. As they talk about the McTavish deal, Stark strolls in.

Adam notices that makes Jack uncomfortable. The Abbott explains he was someone Diane knew and wants to forget.

Jack tells him Diane has built a new life for herself and that’s to be protected.

Adam wonders what she did to earn so much forgiveness.

Phyllis shuts the door and demands to know what’s going on.

“Have you guys been hiding her?” she asks. Kyle says it’s not of her business.

Summer asks her mom why she’s there.

Phyllis doesn’t like how she and her daughter left things and, choking up, says she understands why they fired her.

Summer is sure she will be happier working with Daniel and a little space will be good for them.

Phyllis insists that Diane was with her on the animosity all the way and she was right about her hiding things. The only thing she cared about was her daughter’s safety and well-being.

She’s tired of being the lone voice against Diane so it’s for the best she’s not at Marchetti. She felt good about that until she walked into this room.

Seeing Diane there has been a punch to the gut.

Kyle urges everyone to stay on the path of good intentions.

Phyllis insists that Stark would have come looking for Diane without her. Her sticking around and playing the victim is putting everyone in danger.

She’s sure this is killing her daughter. She didn’t even hear from her at Christmas and guesses she was with Diane.

She accuses them of letting Diane call all the shots.

Stark isn’t interested in his offer anymore and says things have changed.

“I changed, Jack. I came back for him,” Diane announces as she steps in.
