(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for January 3, 2022 episode airs in the USA January 4. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
Ashley meets Phyllis at Glam Club and learns that Diane’s back and that Summer sided with her.
Ashley tells her that Jack did the same thing to her. Sided with Diane.
They agree she’s dangerous and wonder how far Jack’s willing to go to protect her.
They trash-talk her and then Summer appears, wanting to talk.
Phyllis puts her off. Summer apologizes to Ashley and she says it’s fine but they’ll delay their meeting for mother and daughter to talk.
Ashley goes and Phyllis tells her kid she can’t do this right now.
She’s devastated. Summer’s so sorry.
Phyllis felt undervalued. She’s her mother! She knows she’s made mistakes but she’d move mountains for her kid.
She starts to cry, that she’d walk through fire for her. Summer knows.
Phyllis isn’t sure how to forgive her for taking Diane’s side and believing her over her own mama.
Daniel pokes his head in and Phyllis takes off. When Daniel asks, she comes clean about what happened with Diane hiding out from Stark and how things went bad when Phyllis learned that she kept it from her.
Their mom thinks she’s choosing Diane over her.
Daniel sees Phyllis’ side. Summer thinks her position is impossible. She has a kid to protect.
Daniel says their mom is right about everything. Why does she blame her?
Summer claims she blames Diane but isn’t sure she can tell her husband that his mom is the reason her son is in danger and that their marriage is complicated.
Daniel had no idea things got this bad. She cries.
She’s been bottling it up and going along with Kyle’s wants for the sake of their marriage.
It turns out, she doesn’t believe in Diane at all.
Daniel doesn’t get how Kyle can forgive her for abandoning him. She explains and Daniel tells her to stop bottling all of this up.
At the Abbott manse, Jack and Diane go over their plan for Diane to seduce Jeremy into thinking she wants him.
Jack is worried about this whole plan.
She wants to go back to her hotel but he asks her to stay with him.
It’d undermine the fight they staged, earlier.
Jack says she could tell him she moved in to ensure he would give him the second half of that fortune he gave to him.
Diane is determined to give that money back to Jack, who urges her to let it go.
She doesn’t want to do this. Kyle appears. She says she needs to help sell this to Stark. She’ll move into Grand Phoenix again.
Kyle worries about that since there is no security.
She insists he will need to know she’s able to work a scam.
Kyle and Jack don’t like this but she finds it necessary.
She needs them on board, she argues. She refuses to let Kyle drive her there.
