At the Athletic Club, Phyllis said that Summer seemed "worn down." Summer said that Harrison was better, but she was still "on edge." Summer, annoyed, said that Harrison kept asking about Claire and that Kyle wasn't doing anything about it. Phyllis said that Claire had been Jordan's victim, too. Summer said that even though Claire might not have been at fault "directly," Claire was not innocent.

Summer said that she didn't understand Kyle's sympathy for Claire because Claire had been "Jordan's frontwoman in town to begin with." Phyllis said that Jordan was a "psycho" who would have attacked the Newmans with or without Claire's help. Summer asked what it said about Claire that she "was willing to murder five people."

Phyllis said that she understood Summer's concerns. Summer said that she was scared Kyle would let Claire into Harrison's life. Summer said that there was no reason for Claire and Harrison to interact, and the thought made Summer sick. Phyllis asked if Summer was being a "tad overprotective." Phyllis said that she knew what it was like to need a second chance.

Summer retorted that it was "news" to her if Phyllis had ever done anything as bad as try to kill five people. Phyllis said that if the Newmans had forgiven Claire, it might be helpful for Summer to talk to them about her. Phyllis asked if Summer had ever seen any "psychosis" from Claire. Summer said that she wouldn't even take a chance when it came to Harrison. Summer told Phyllis that Kyle wanted Claire to be Harrison's nanny. Phyllis conceded that the idea was ridiculous and "too far."

At the Abbott mansion, Diane looked exhausted, and Kyle asked her if she was still upset that Jack hadn't returned home a couple nights before. Kyle guessed that Jack had been helping Nikki and asked why Diane was still upset. Diane said that Jack hadn't cheated on her, but what Jack had done was "worse."

Kyle was initially appalled to hear that Jack had contacted a drug dealer. Diane grew furious as she recounted the story, saying that Jack had "risked everything" to help Nikki. Kyle defended Jack, saying that Jack hadn't been able to see a better way to help Nikki. Diane yelled that what Jack had done had been "stupid...and incredibly selfish." Kyle asked how Diane could think what Jack had done had been selfish. Diane argued that Jack should have cared more about his family who loved and needed him.

Kyle said that Jack had done "what he had to do" for his friend. Kyle reminded Diane that their family had just been "through hell" with Jordan. Kyle said that he would have done anything to save Harrison. Diane said that the two situations were completely different, and Jack had "overreacted." Kyle asked if Diane was just jealous of Jack saving Nikki.

Diane protested that Nikki had "her own husband...and kids to come to her rescue." Kyle said that Nikki had always been one of Jack's closest friends. Diane argued that Jack shouldn't have had to risk his life to help a friend. Kyle asked if they could just be happy that Jack was okay. Diane asked if Kyle just felt the need to "always find the contrary position" to hers.

Diane said that Kyle second-guessed and undermined her at work, and she accused him of doing the same thing at home. Kyle said that Diane was being unfair, and she was paranoid.

At Society, Jack approached Victor at the bar and asked how Nikki had been doing. Victor said that Nikki was none of Jack's business. Victor said that Nikki had had to save Jack's life, but Jack was acting as if he had saved Nikki's life. Jack said that all that mattered was that Nikki had made the choice to go to rehab. Victor said that Jack was delusional and had a "giant ego."

Jack said that Victor was the one with a giant ego and that Jack had stepped in to save Nikki from drinking herself to death. Victor said that Nikki needed help from "professionals," not Jack. Victor yelled that Nikki had been petrified by Jack's actions. Victor warned that Jack would wish he had "died in that damned hotel room" if he ever put Nikki in harm's way again.

Jack returned to the Abbott mansion and said that he felt that he had walked in on an argument. Diane asked Kyle to give her and Jack privacy. Kyle told Jack that he understood why Jack had had to take "such desperate measures." After Kyle left, Diane confirmed that Kyle had "put the pieces together" on what had happened with Jack.

Jack promised that he would never do something like that again, and he was sorry. Diane, still enraged, said that Jack did not understand the "severity" of the situation. Diane said that she had "bitten [her] tongue" every time Jack had raced to save Nikki. Diane grew teary-eyed and said that she questioned Jack's judgment, since he would put everything they had at risk. Diane said that what Jack had done had been "an outright betrayal" of their love and trust, and she wasn't sure that she could get past it.

In the Newman wine cellar, Jordan lay in bed, passed out from drinking. Victor turned on the light and awakened her. Victor asked how many more bottles of alcohol he needed to give Jordan before she died. Jordan told Victor to "shut up" and let her out. Jordan threw her shoe at Victor's chessboard and seethed. Victor grinned.

Victor said that "taunting [her] jailer" wasn't a good idea. Jordan yelled for Victor to shut up again. Jordan asked why Victor hadn't already killed her. Jordan asked to be let out and put in a real jail.

Claire and Victoria were strolling around Chancellor Park when Claire asked if Victoria had known Katherine Chancellor. Victoria said that everyone had known Katherine, and she had been Victoria's godmother. Victoria said that she would fill Claire in on everything that Claire had "missed" growing up, but they had "all the time in the world" to discuss things. Claire said that they didn't really have "all the time," since she was getting better and wanted to find a job. Claire said that Victoria should "get back to work," too.

Victoria said that she had taken time off from work because Claire was her number one priority. Claire said that Victoria "could be doing so much more," and she asked if Victoria missed work. Victoria said that Newman had been important to her, but she had found "a different purpose."

Claire said that she didn't want to see Victoria hold herself back to care for Claire. Victoria asked if Claire felt like she was "ready to fly." Claire said that she was "getting there." Claire said that Victoria needed to get back to her old life.

Cole approached with drinks for Claire and Victoria. Claire told Cole that she felt bad that both of her parents had been "neglecting" their careers because of her. Cole said that he would return to writing when he was ready, but he wanted to spend his time with Claire. Victoria and Cole teased Claire about trying to "ditch" them. Cole said that Claire would have to deal with their "hovering" for a while. Harrison yelled hello and ran up to Claire for a hug.

Harrison asked Claire to "go see the ducks." Claire and Harrison went to visit the ducks while Kyle looked on. Victoria told Kyle that she understood Summer was still upset about the kidnapping. Kyle said that personally, he thought Harrison seemed "reassured" around Claire. Victoria suggested that Kyle "try out" Claire as Harrison's nanny.

Kyle said that Summer knew "intellectually" that Claire wasn't responsible for the kidnapping, but Summer had had a deep reaction and needed "more time" before doing something like that. Cole said that no decisions needed to be made right away. Cole said that he needed to go and that he couldn't be happier that Harrison was home safe.

Victoria told Kyle that she hoped everyone could "get along." Kyle said that Summer needed to "get past" things on her own. Phyllis and Summer approached and saw that Harrison had been feeding the ducks with Claire instead of Kyle.
