(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for March 13, 2023 episode airs in the USA March 14. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
“Uhhhh wow,” Summer says after Jack informs her and Kyle that he and Diane are engaged.
Kyle thinks this is sudden. His father thinks the timing was right.
Kyle thinks the timing is weird and wonders if it has something to do with the threat of Stark.
Jack insists he doesn’t want to look backwards anymore. Diane knows forgiveness has to be earned and she will continue to win people’s trust.
Jack explains he fell back in love with her when he realized how much she loves their son. She’s a different person with different priorities and doesn’t have to prove herself to him.
He hasn’t been this happy in a very long time and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Their flame has not extinguished and they won’t deny it.
Summer looks horrified.
Diane adds they have matured into different people and are better together than apart.
Jack beams and declares this is the natural next step.
His son isn’t convinced other people will react to it that way.
Summer admits they seem happy. Kyle is still struggling with the timing and needs to let it sink in.
His mom hopes they will eventually offer their blessings.
After Jack and Diane ask them to keep this quiet, they exit. Summer wonders what the hell that was.
She has to drink some wonder and thinks this is all crazy. She wonders if it was Diane’s plan all along.
Kyle says his mom would have to be pretty diabolical for that. His wife worries that he and Jack are turning a blind eye to things. There’s a red flag waving.
He wants his parents to be together and happy but it’s happening too fast. It’s like his dad is setting himself up to be hurt again.
They’re both sure no one will welcome the engagement news.
Summer is sure it won’t be pretty when her mom hears about it.
Outside of Society, Phyllis reminds Stark over the phone that her family cannot be hurt in their plan against Diane.
Lauren interrupts and Phyllis forces a friendly smile.
They head inside and Lauren says that call sounded intense.
Phyllis claims she was just trying to get a mani-pedi appointment and says she will call the salon to apologize if she was too intense.
When she changes the subject, Lauren asks her what’s going on. She’s vibrating with “some sort” of energy.
Phyllis admits she’s been self-sabotaging and doesn’t want to do that. She’s sorry.
Lauren wants to believe she’s making a positive change but still thinks she needs perspective. She suggests they take off to Vegas for the weekend.
Phyllis would love that some other time. Lauren reminds her she doesn’t have a job and is fighting with her kids.
Her friend insists she can’t leave town at the moment.
“You can’t run away from your problems!” she shouts.
Jack and Diane enter. Phyllis forces a huge smile.
She tells them they look amazing. “That almost sounded sincere,” Diane says.
The women begin bickering. Phyllis admits she played a game and lost. She wants what they have: romance, love and beauty.
She’s surprised to see them back in town given their “current circumstance.”
He wonders why she’s surprised they’re back in town. Phyllis is sure they know about Stark leaving Paris.
She explains that Stark approached her to be part of his scheme but she rejected him. After some bickering, she admits her fight with Diane cost her her relationship with her kids.
She ushers them off to enjoy their dinner. Lauren laughs and tells her friend that was quite a performance.
“What the hell are you up to?” Lauren asks. Phyllis claims she wishes nothing but happiness for Diane and Jack.
