(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for January 20, 2023 episode airs in the USA January 23. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
Audra gets a tour of Newman Media from Nate.
She’s ready to hit the ground running.
He tells her to speak up and share suggestions.
She admits she’s brimming with ideas.
He’s determined not to treat his employees the way Devon treated him.
She has ideas and spills a few. He thinks they’ll make a great team. Elena appears.
She questions why he’s a team with Chancellor-Winters IPO consultant.
They set her straight and she apologizes.
Elena stopped by for lunch but Nate says he’s far too busy for that.
Audra steps in and tells him to go. She’ll do research instead.
At Newman, Nikki tells Victoria that she finds it amazing that there was only one strand of jewelry stolen from the safe.
She also thinks Diane Jenkins stole it.
She explains that the cops arrested Stark, who came to Genoa City to target Diane.
Why would he go to Chicago and steal one necklace from her? Nothing else was taken.
Victoria agrees it’s strange. They wonder how he knew they had an apartment in Chicago and that it’s where she kept her jewels.
Nikki says she didn’t pull it off without Jack’s help.
Talk turns to Katie’s ballet recital and that she had to endure a pizza party with Chelsea.
Jack and Diane snuggle in bed after sex.
She regrets her dishonesty and that she hid so much out of shame.
He kisses her head. She’ll never betray him again. They kiss.
They get out of bed and find Traci downstairs.
She teases them, realizing what they were up to upstairs.
He tells his sister to expect to see a lot more of Diane. Traci finds this fascinating.
Jack says they’re romantically involved and he doesn’t intend on keeping it a secret.
Traci congratulates them. She notices the security detail is missing. Jack tells her the danger is over.
Traci suggests he get someone to tell Ashley the news while she’s in Paris so she can blow up there, instead of here.
They laugh and she goes to a meeting. Diane balks at telling everyone they’re a couple.
She worries about what they’ll say. He’s loved and respected.
She’s not. He doesn’t care about his reputation. He knows Kyle will need time to work through this though. She, on the other hand, wants to take things slow.
At Jabot, Summer learns of Kyle and Victor’s scheme to get Adam fired and isn’t happy.
She wants to stop all the lies and schemes.
Kyle argues that Victor hasn’t done anything criminal. “Not yet,” Summer says.
