Harrison and Jack are at the park, looking through old baseball cards.
Jack guesses she didn’t just happen to find them. Phyllis asks about how Harrison is feeling and all the plans that Summer is making for him.
She tells him that his mom loves him more than anyone else in the world. As she continues to lay this on thick, Jack cringes until he suggests the kid go see some caterpillars.
He tells Phyllis she should be ashamed. She tells him he’s being paranoid.
Jack doesn’t see the point in objecting. She tells him Harrison is perfect, but how much trauma does he have to go through before he stops bounding back?
Jack is determined to shield him from any more upset. She suggests this is a do-over for them since they didn’t get to be the parents they could have been.
He reminds her they aren’t Harrison’s parents. They talk about how off-the-rails Kyle is.
Jack doesn’t want to fight. However, he can’t let her blame his son for everything. He suggests she has too much free time of her hands and she’s butting in where she’s not wanted.
She’s tried to stay neutral but it’s not easy.
Nikki asks if she regrets taking the job.
Claire admits if she was just dealing with Harrison, it would be great. But it isn’t.
Her grandmother reminds her that she was an excellent assistant and she would love to have her working by her side agai
