Y&R spoilers tease Jack will join Nikki as she relaxes at the Jazz Club. She’ll ask how he’s holding up. “Do you have the board behind you?” But Jack will take offense. “Is this a friendly conversation or a fact finding mission?” he’ll ask. “What exactly are you after?” He’ll point out she hates Diane. Then he’ll accuse Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) of joining forces with Ashley.
Y&R Daily Scoop – Nikki Offended By His Assumption
“I am offended that you think I have ulterior motives in asking how you’re doing,” Nikki will reply. “So pardon me if I care.” But he’ll apologize. Nikki will correctly surmise Ashley’s vendetta has something to do with Diane, her new promotion, and their engagement. “Did you really expect Ashley to welcome her with open arms?” she’ll ask him. But Jack will say he believes Ashley’s using Diane as an excuse to come after him and the company.
Meanwhile, Ashley will arrive home and Tucker will say he’s getting closer to finding the EMT. Then he’ll try to lure her into admitting she loves him. But she’ll turn the conversation around to Jabot staff. “We have to make them hate and distrust her, as much as they love and respect Jack,” Ashley will say. “If I can’t save my brother, I am going to save my father’s legacy.” Their plan is to sic Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) on Diane, which will throw her off the rails. In turn, Ashley will weaken Jabot by taking back her company and her patents.
At Crimson Lights, Mariah will encounter Kyle and she’ll be annoyed he didn’t tell her he’s no longer at Jabot. “My father thought it would be untenable if Summer and I both worked there and he chose her to stay,” Kyle will whine. “He offered me another position, but at a lower level…I didn’t feel like being demoted while Summer rises to the top.”
However, he’ll say he’s been presented with a new job opportunity, working as COO with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) at Newman Media. Kyle will tell her Audra’s driven, exciting and passionate. “You got all of that out of one job interview?” Mariah will ask. But Kyle will say he has more clarity than he’s had in a long time and he’ll suggest Mariah jump ship too.
Young And The Restless Scoop – Mariah Relies On A Paycheck
Mariah will balk and Kyle will get upset. She’ll remind him Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) is the face of Marchetti and she’ll ask if he wants her to resign too. “We’re not the Abbotts, we rely on paychecks,” she’ll tell him. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” an angry Kyle will respond. “Good luck. Enjoy working with Summer.”
At Jabot, Diane will tell Billy she’s worried Tucker’s going to play dirty and she doesn’t want Jack to have to stoop to his level. “So, you’re here to ask me if I would instead,” Billy will reply. But Diane will say she just wants to protect Jack and his reputation. “If anyone makes a move to hurt Jabot, I promise to get down in the mud with Tucker McCall and fight like hell,” Billy will reply.
Finally, he’ll tell Diane she shouldn’t be worried about Jabot, she should be focusing on her wedding. Diane will ask what he’s getting at. “I’m going to urge you to do something that you’re probably not going to want to do,” he’ll reply. “But it’s in the best interest of Jabot. Resign.” He’ll say he thinks she should just walk away until the dust settles. “I am not going to walk away at all!” she’ll exclaim. However, Billy will tell her if she wants to protect Jack, “this is the way to do it with the least amount of bloodshed.” But will Diane resign?
