(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for February 6, 2023 episode airs in the USA February 7. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
At the Abbot estate, Diane worries to Jack that they are tempting fate by being so happy. He tells her fate is on their side this time.
He kisses her and leaves her with a smile.
Diane goes to her old suite at the Phoenix and packs stuff. Picking up an old family photo with Jack and Kyle, she smiles and sits down.
On her way out, she bumps into Tucker in the lobby. He starts making a few jabs and she pays him back by reminding him that Ashley ran away.
He says that her life looks like it’s back on track at the moment but her happiness is hers to lose.
McCall goes to his room and calls Ashley, leaving a voicemail and offering to explain to her why he resorted to subterfuge.
Jack shows up at the ranch. Victor jokingly asks if he should he hiding the silverware.
Jack isn’t impressed. Victor says, “You got a lot of nerve, man.”
The Abbott confronts him about his plot to ruin Adam’s tenure at Jabot and about dragging Kyle into it.
Victor nods his head and says that his son is undermining himself. That doesn’t speak well of Jack’s mentorship.
He suggests that he g home and salvage his “train wreck of a relationship” with Diane. He’s enjoying watching it all go up in flames. Jack fumes.
Michael strolls in and comments on the atmosphere.
Jack warns Victor to stay out of Adam’s affairs and then storms out.
Sitting down, Michael tells his boss that Tucker’s company is in a lot of debt. Buying that up will give them leverage but not control.
“I’m looking forward to dealing with that SOB,” Victor says.
When Jack gets home, Diane has just returned with her bag. He offers to have her stuff from LA flown over.
She tells him it’s just stuff and it can stay there.
Again, she wonders if it’s okay for them to be so happy when no one supports them.
He says those who care for them will come around and the rest don’t matter. They kiss.
In her office at Newman, Victoria looks away from her computer to think about the kiss she shared with Nate.
Nick eventually interrupts. She saws and then tells him about her brainstorming session with Nate and their plot against Tucker.
She knows things could get ugly, but anything worth taking is never easy.
He paces. She assumes there are Sally problems.
Her brother says it’s none of her business and refuses to discuss this.
