Since Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) does not trust Diane at all, she is shocked by Jack Abbott's (Peter Bergman) neutral approach.
From Nikki's booth, she felt the abbot give Diane permission and release her guards.
But Newman's blood had been flowing in the summer of summer, so Nikki thought there might still be hope for her.
Nikki urges Summer to raise the alarm so she can be part of Diane and the damage she can do to her granddaughter's family.
Nothing is more important this summer than protecting Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Harrison Abbott (Kellen Enriquez), so there's no doubt Nikki will use that protective side to her advantage.
Nikki can warn that if Summer lets Diane get too close, she risks the breakdown of her marriage and the loss of the boy she loves.
Now that Phyllis has stopped healing her affair with Jack, she will feel brave as she plots against her worst enemy.
Allie and Noah start to fall apart, so there are some nice scenes as they continue to learn about each other.
