Spoilers for The Young and the Restless on Thursday, October 17, reveal that Jack asks Diane if she received the email from the accounting department. Diane silently nods, continuing to type on her laptop, refusing to engage with Jack.
Meanwhile, on the Crimson Lights patio, Claire, Victoria, and Cole observe Jack and Diane’s tense interaction. According to Soaps Spoilers, Claire has been watching the couple for 20 minutes as they sit in silence, exchanging only cold glares.
Claire expresses her sympathy to her parents, feeling bad for the Abbotts. She notes that Kyle’s attitude toward his parents is adding to the tension, and now Jack and Diane are facing marital struggles.
At Jack and Diane’s table, Jack asks Diane why she is okay with sitting in silence and not acknowledging his presence. Diane blows him off. She tells Jack she doesn’t understand why he is answering emails when he should look into legal charges against Kyle.
“Better yet, JACK, why don’t you have our son arrested for corporate theft?” Diane yells. Jack’s mouth drops open, as he clearly doesn’t want to involve law enforcement in the Kyle situation.
Claire tells her parents she wishes to help the Abbotts solve their problems. Cole and Victoria think Claire should stay away from their family problems. Her job is to take care of Harrison, and that’s it.
Claire says it’s hard not to get involved. She is around them constantly, and she feels terrible about the drama Kyle is causing.
