>> Allie: Meet my family?
>> Jack: They're all here.
Come on in.
>> Kyle: You're not seriously
suggesting I decide something
this important with a flip of a
coin, Billy.
>> Billy: All I'm saying is that
it's your decision.
>> Ashley: You know my stance on
Diane.
>> Traci: Whatever you decide,
we will support you.
>> Abby: Absolutely, Kyle.
You can count on us.
>> Jack: Everyone, I would love
for you to meet Allie Nguyen.
This is Keemo's daughter and my
granddaughter.
>> Allie: Hi, everyone.
How are you?
It's great to meet you guys.
I'm so sorry.
I feel like I have interrupted
something.
>> Traci: No, no, please,
please, don't feel that way.
We're just so glad to finally
meet you.
>> Jack: We were just talking
about Diane Jenkins -- or
Taylor Jenson as you knew her.
She was just here.
>> Allie: She's in town, too?
>> Kyle: Yes, she is.
>> Allie: You must be Kyle.
>> Kyle: I am.
It's nice to meet you, Allie.
>> Allie: It's good to meet you.
It's weird because, you know,
you are the reason that
Taylor -- or Diane -- brought
Jack and me together.
I'm still trying to get my head
around all of it.
>> Kyle: Me too.
Look, I'm sorry, Allie.
We're all in this awkward,
emotional state right now, and
it's --
>> Abby: Welcome to Genoa City.
[ Laughter ]
>> Billy: It's not usually this
intense.
>> Allie: I can't imagine what
you're going through, all of you
guys.
I know this must be incredibly
difficult.
You know what? I think, um, this
isn't such a good time.
I should probably --
>> Jack: No, no, not at all.
Everyone's been looking forward
to meeting you.
>> Traci: We have.
>> Jack: You see?
You can't leave now.
♪♪
>> Nate: We could alleviate that
problem with a more efficient
centralized distribution center.
>> Devon: Mm.
Well, I love the sound of that.
I do.
These are really great ideas you
have, man.
I made the right choice picking
you to be COO.
I can tell this is more than
just a job to you.
>> Nate: That's right.
It's a whole new direction for
me.
I'm inspired.
And I want you to know I
appreciate your confidence in
me.
I know we've been through a lot
these last few years, but I'm
glad we were able to salvage our
relationship.
>> Devon: Yeah, so am I, man.
I really am.
I think that all of us working
together is proof that family
and forgiveness is more
important than anything.
>> Lily: Amen to that.
>> Sharon: Thank you so much for
making this possible.
We know that the short notice
makes it difficult, and we just
really appreciate it.
Alright, we'll see you soon.
>> Nick: Was that the church?
>> Sharon: Yep, everything is
set up for the memorial service
this afternoon.
>> Nick: Good.
>> Sharon: I'm really glad that
I was able to pull this together
so quickly so that we can say
goodbye to Rey here in his other
home before his funeral in
Miami.
>> Nick: Yeah.
I'm sorry I had to take off
earlier and I wasn't around to
help.
>> Sharon: No, no apology
necessary.
I'm the one that told you you
should go and talk to Locke.
And besides, Noah, Tessa, and
Mariah, they pitched in
planning.
What did Locke say?
>> Nick: Don't worry about it.
Not gonna waste one more second
thinking about him.
There's too much to do, so
what's left?
What can I do to help?
>> Sharon: Um...well, I really
want to keep this small and
family-oriented, so I didn't
make any public announcement or
anything.
I just think if the event got
too big, it would be difficult
for me.
>> Nick: Well, I'm glad you're
being honest about what you need
this day to mean to you.
And I will do anything I can to
ensure that your wishes are
respected.
But I'm really hoping there is
one thing you'll reconsider.
>> Sharon: You want me to
reconsider something about Rey's
funeral?
>> Nick: Yeah.
But not today's service.
>> Sharon: What then?
>> Nick: Miami.
I really think that you should
take someone with you.
You know, take one of the kids
or I could go with you.
I just don't think you should be
alone.
>> Sharon: Well, I appreciate
that, but, um, I'm fine
traveling by myself, and once
the plane lands, I'm really not
going to be alone.
I'll be with Celeste and Arturo,
Lola -- all of Rey's family.
They're gonna be there with me.
We're gonna get each other
through this.
It won't be easy, but I'm gonna
be in good hands.
You don't have to worry about
me.
>> Nick: Okay.
If you change your mind or you
get uncomfortable, then just say
the word and I'll get on that
flight with you.
>> Sharon: I doubt I'll change
my mind.
>> Nick: Okay.
Well, if while you're down
there, you decide you need me,
then just call me.
I'll get on the first flight and
get there as fast as I can.
>> Sharon: Thank you.
It really means the world to me
that you would do that.
>> Nick: Well, you know I mean
it, 100%.
I will do anything for you.
>> Sharon: Thank you so much,
Nick.
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean, this all
sounds great, so I think we can
run with a couple of these ideas
and see what happens.
>> Nate: Thank you, Lily.
>> Devon: Have we settled on how
we want to launch the new
company?
>> Lily: Well, I mean, I still
think, you know, having a big
party with a big media push is
the way to go.
I know that you were
unenthusiastic about it, so have
you changed your mind?
>> Devon: Yeah, I think I have.
I think I've -- I've come around
to the idea.
We're gonna have a big party, it
should be, you know, noisy and
flashy and we should get as much
attention as possible.
>> Lily: Wow, very unlike you.
>> Devon: Well, no, I understand
what you mean by this being a
big opportunity to show the
world how important
Chancellor-Winters is gonna be.
So if we're gonna compete with
the big dogs, we need to go big.
Right?
>> Nate: So we're all in sync.
>> Lily: Yeah, look at that.
It's all coming together.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
Let's hope we can agree on more
important issues than "We should
throw a party."
[ Laughs ]
>> Lily: No, we will, we will.
This is just the beginning.
>> Devon: Should Billy be here
for these discussions?
'Cause he's on the team, right?
>> Lily: He's at an Abbott
family gathering, so I'll fill
him in later.
>> Devon: Was he okay during the
last meeting we had?
>> Lily: Yeah, why?
>> Devon: He just seemed a
little out of it.
>> Lily: What do you mean?
>> Devon: I don't know, it was
when you started talking about,
like, legacies and families and
Chancellor-Winters and just what
it meant to us -- he kind of
checked out.
>> Nate: Yeah, I picked up on
that, too.
You think he's uncomfortable
being the non-family member at
the top of a family company?
>> Allie: Well, it seems like
you guys are going through a
lot, and I -- I really don't
want to add to any more
distress.
>> Kyle: Allie, you being here
means a lot to all of us,
and I'm sorry, but we're not
gonna let you go.
Whatever stress we're dealing
with right now, we'll get
through it.
We just want you to feel welcome
here.
>> Traci: I second that.
>> Allie: Thank you.
>> Abby: You're not imposing.
Please don't think that.
>> Ashley: We were wondering
when we would get to meet you.
>> Billy: And your timing is
actually very efficient.
You get to meet us all in one
shot.
>> Abby: Although I'm sure that
must be a bit overwhelming.
>> Allie: Yeah, yeah, it's kind
of a lot.
[ Laughter ]
But, you know, you guys have all
been so kind, and I really
appreciate that.
>> Jack: Does that mean you're
staying?
>> Allie: Yes. Yes, I will.
>> Jack: Good!
Okay, you can meet everybody.
You've met Kyle already.
Let's see, this is my sister
Ashley.
>> Allie: The chemist.
>> Ashley: That's right.
>> Jack: My sister Traci.
>> Allie: The writer.
>> Jack: This is my sister
Ashley's daughter and my niece
Abby.
>> Allie: The restaurateur.
>> Jack: And this is my brother
Billy.
>> Allie: The --
>> Billy: Oh, you go ahead and
say it -- the good-looking one.
[ Laughter ]
>> Traci: Allie, we're just so
glad that you're here.
And on behalf of the whole
family, we wanted to say how
very sorry we were to hear about
your father.
>> Allie: Thank you.
>> Ashley: I worked with Keemo,
and I got to know him quite
well.
What a talented, such a gifted
chemist.
And more importantly, what an
amazing human being.
>> Allie: He was all of those
things.
And the best father I could've
ever hoped for.
>> Billy: You know, Allie, we've
all gone through that kind of
loss, so you have our
condolences.
Jack said that you were pretty
tied up with your father's
estate and finishing up grad
school.
We weren't sure when we were
gonna be able to meet you.
So what happened with your
schedule that you were able to
come out here to Genoa City?
>> Lily: No, Billy's not
uncomfortable working with us or
in any situation.
I mean, that's his superpower.
>> Devon: I didn't mean to make
a big deal about it.
It's just something that I
noticed.
>> Nate: Ditto.
>> Devon: Do you think that
there's any part of him that
would rather be working with his
family at Jabot?
>> Lily: No, I mean, he left
Jabot because he was ready to
get out of there, and he's never
looked back.
>> Devon: Okay.
Yeah, I mean, you guys -- you
guys did some amazing work at
ChancComm.
>> Lily: Yeah, we did.
And look, I mean, you know, he's
excited about the merger.
I know that.
And maybe his name isn't Winters
or Chancellor or Hamilton, but
he's 100% committed to the
company.
>> Devon: That's good to hear.
And I'm not questioning his
commitment at all.
I just want to make sure that
everything's okay with him.
>> Lily: Yeah, everything's
fine.
>> Devon: Good.
>> Lily: So, um...are we good
here?
>> Devon: Yeah, I think so.
I think that's it.
I do have a meeting I need to
get to, though.
>> Elena: Oh, hey.
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Lily: Hello.
>> Elena: So this is where the
party's at.
You guys can just pretend I'm
not here.
>> Nate: Well, that's
impossible.
You're the center of attention
in any room you walk into.
>> Elena: Yeah?
Even after a 12-hour shift at
the hospital?
>> Nate: That's when you're the
most gorgeous.
>> Lily: Well, that's okay.
We're gonna leave so that you
guys can keep talking about how
gorgeous you both are.
>> Devon: I'll walk you out.
>> Elena: Bye.
>> Devon: See ya.
>> Nate: Bye.
>> Elena: So?
How did the meeting go?
Did they like your idea?
>> Nate: Doesn't even matter.
>> Elena: It doesn't?
>> Nate: No, because all I care
about is you right now.
>> Elena: [ Chuckles ]
>> Allie: Well, I'm not always
the most spontaneous person, but
Jack told me the door was always
open.
>> Jack: And I meant it.
>> Allie: And so I've been
thinking a lot about your
invitation.
I had finished the semester.
It was all really stressful.
I had papers, finals,
presentations, and so I just
decided that I needed a break.
And so I found a cheap flight,
and, well, here I am.
>> Traci: Well, we're so glad
you got on that plane.
>> Allie: Thank you, Traci.
>> Abby: You brought some
luggage, so you must be planning
on staying awhile.
How long are you gonna be here?
>> Allie: Uh, well, at least
overnight, and then I guess
we'll take it from there.
Can anyone recommend a good
hotel for me to go?
>> Traci: Oh, no, no, no, you
have to stay here.
We have so much room.
And Mrs. Martinez will take
really good care of you.
>> Ashley: And we're not always
here like this at the same time.
This is actually a rarity, so
you'll definitely have some
privacy.
>> Allie: Thank you so much, but
I really don't want to impose on
you guys.
>> Jack: No, you are not
imposing.
You are an Abbott.
This is the Abbott house.
You have to stay here.
>> Allie: That's very generous
of you.
Thank you.
>> Traci: Good. Okay.
Let's get your things, and we'll
take you upstairs and find a
room.
And you can freshen up and I'll
show you around.
>> Allie: Thanks, Traci.
>> Jack: Allie, I have to take
off for a minute.
I will be right back.
>> Allie: Okay.
>> Jack: One other thing.
>> Allie: Yes?
>> Jack: I'm real glad you're
here.
>> Allie: Thanks, Jack.
>> Nick: Thank you.
>> Sharon: I just have a few
things I need to wrap up here
before I can leave town.
>> Nick: Okay, I'm just texting
everyone, letting them know
we're gonna meet at the house
before we go to the church.
>> Sharon: Okay, great. Thanks.
I won't be too long.
>> Nick: Okay.
>> Diane: Nick Newman.
>> Nick: Sorry, hold on one
second here.
Alright, there --
>> Diane: Hello.
>> Nick: What is this?
Who are you?
>> Diane: I can assure you I'm
not a Doppelganger and your eyes
aren't playing tricks on you.
>> Nick: Diane?
>> Diane: Yeah, it's me.
>> Nick: No.
No. No, no, no. It's not --
I mean, you're --
>> Diane: Dead?
Nope, I'm very much alive.
And I'm back.
>> Nick: This is impossible.
>> Diane: Oh, come on, stranger
things have happened in
Genoa City.
>> Nick: What kind of game are
you playing?
>> Diane: Relax, this has
nothing to do with you.
>> Nick: Where have you been?
>> Diane: Um, I'll give you the
highlights.
I wanted a fresh start, faked my
death, moved to California, and
now I am back and I want to make
amends to my son.
>> Nick: [ Scoffs ]
You devastated Kyle.
There's no making amends for
that.
>> Diane: I'm trying, Nick.
I know it's going to be hard,
but I'm not giving up.
>> Nick: What you did to your
son, what you did to the entire
Abbott family --
>> Diane: I know, I just saw the
whole family.
It was not a warm and fuzzy
reunion.
>> Nick: And that doesn't
include what you did to my
family.
My mother was charged with your
murder -- a murder that
obviously didn't happen.
>> Diane: Okay, okay.
I mean, I've heard this from
everyone since I got back.
I was a terrible person.
But I've changed.
>> Nick: You think anybody's
gonna believe that?
>> Diane: All that matters is
that Kyle believes it.
I -- I want a relationship with
my son.
We've had a couple of
face-to-face meetings.
>> Nick: Kyle is in Genoa City?
>> Diane: Yes, he's here from
Italy.
I'm sure he would've reached
out, but, you know, he's
obviously been kind of busy.
He had some things on his mind.
I'm sure you understand.
>> Nick: I don't understand any
of this.
>> Diane: I told Kyle that I am
ready to prove that I am worthy
of being his mother, of being in
his life.
>> Nick: Oh, and how did he
respond to that?
>> Diane: He's considering it.
>> Nick: Well, if he was smart,
he would stay as far away from
you as possible.
And, Diane, let me tell you
something, you're gonna stay
away from Summer.
Does she know about any of this?
>> Diane: I'm sure Kyle has told
her.
Several people in town know,
including your mother and
father.
I'm surprised they didn't tell
you.
>> Nick: Well, they know I have
bigger issues going on right
now, actual life-and-death
issues, not just somebody who's
pretending to be dead.
>> Diane: Or maybe they're
hoping I'll just leave quickly,
never to be heard from again.
>> Nick: Well, if you were
smart, that is exactly what you
would do.
>> Diane: Is that a threat,
Nick?
>> Billy: [ Sighs ]
Well, busy day at the Abbott
house.
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
>> Billy: First a woman who's
been dead for a handful of years
shows up, and when she leaves,
there's a knock on the door and
it's Jack's long, lost
granddaughter.
>> Ashley: I just hope Kyle's
okay.
He seems to have disappeared.
>> Billy: Yeah, I'm sure he
needed some space from the
crowd.
I'm assuming that's where Jack
went, because that's the only
reason he would leave with Allie
upstairs.
>> Abby: Well, Aunt Traci's
talking Allie's ear off.
What a day.
>> Ashley: We were just saying
that.
>> Abby: Yeah, it must be the
universe's way of balancing
things out.
Yes, everyone's happy to meet
Allie, but first we had to
endure the worst person in the
world.
>> Ashley: I don't think
everybody feels Diane is the
worst person in the world.
>> Billy: Oh, are you talking
about me?
>> Ashley: Yeah, because you
told Kyle he should give his
mother the benefit of the doubt.
What were you thinking?
>> Billy: I was thinking that,
unlike you, I think people are
capable of change.
>> Ashley: That's not fair.
I think people can change, and I
understand why the concept is
something close to your heart
because of the great strides
you've made in your own life.
However, Diane is in another
league, Billy, and I worry about
Kyle opening himself up to her.
>> Billy: Ashley, I think your
heart's in the right place and
you're entitled to your own
opinion about Diane, but her
staying in town is up to one
person only, and that is Kyle.
It's not our decision.
>> Ashley: True, but Kyle did
ask for everybody's perspective,
including mine.
>> Billy: Yeah, he did, and we
gave it to him.
And I think that he listened to
us, but at the end of the day,
that is his mother.
It's not our vote, okay?
And we need to be okay with the
fact that it's out of our hands.
It's Kyle's decision.
>> Jack: Kyle.
>> Kyle: What are you doing
here?
>> Jack: Well, I saw you leave.
I had a feeling you'd come here.
I was concerned.
>> Kyle: There's no reason to
be.
I'm sorry I snuck out like that.
I'm still in my own head.
I didn't want to make Allie's
arrival about me.
>> Jack: And you want to see
your mother.
>> Kyle: I wanted to see how she
was doing after being grilled by
the Abbotts.
>> Jack: You're worried about
her.
I can assure you she can take
care of herself.
She always has.
>> Kyle: I know.
That was pretty harsh back
there.
>> Jack: She's made a real
impression on you, hasn't she?
>> Kyle: I'm still working
through all this, Dad.
I'm just taking it one moment at
a time.
>> Jack: I just want to help in
any way I can.
>> Kyle: I know you do, and
you've been very supportive, but
I think I need to do this on my
own.
>> Jack: Okay.
>> Kyle: Besides, you should be
back at the house.
It's amazing that Allie showed
up, and she seemed kind of
overwhelmed.
>> Jack: Yeah, I think that's
meeting the whole family all at
once.
>> Kyle: I could tell you were
happy she was here.
>> Jack: Yeah, I can't deny, I'm
thrilled.
>> Kyle: I hope she sticks
around for a while.
>> Jack: Well, I think she's at
least for a couple of days.
She's staying at the house.
That'll give me some quality
time with her.
I have a feeling she came to
town for a specific reason.
>> Kyle: You don't think she
just wanted to meet the family?
>> Jack: No, I think it's more
than that.
But she'll open up to me once
the time is right.
>> Kyle: For what it's worth,
she seemed really sweet.
I look forward to getting to
know her.
>> Jack: Good.
Allie's in good hands right now.
I'm concerned about you.
Look, I want to be a moral
support if I can.
I won't interfere in anything
you and Diane say to each other.
I --
>> Kyle: Dad, I'm fine.
Really.
And honestly, I think I need to
talk to my mother on my own.
There are some things she
deserves to hear from me in
private.
>> Jack: Say no more.
I'll see you back home
afterward?
>> Kyle: Definitely.
>> Nick: It's not a threat,
Diane.
I'm just letting you know there
is nothing for you in
Genoa City anymore.
>> Diane: Don't be so sure about
that.
>> Nick: You left a wake of
destruction, but we all managed
to move on and repair the damage
that you caused.
You were gone.
You should've stayed gone.
>> Diane: And if it weren't for
Kyle, I would have.
But after years of missing my
son and working hard to become
the kind of mother he deserved,
I was finally ready to reach
out.
You know, Kyle's is the only
opinion that matters to me.
The rest of you can just think
whatever you want.
>> Sharon: Okay, I'm ready.
What is going on here?
Diane?
>> Diane: Hello, Sharon.
You're looking terrific.
And, no, I'm not a ghost.
I'm -- I'm very real.
>> Sharon: But how?
>> Diane: Oh, and I heard about
your loss the last time I was
here, and I'm so sorry.
>> Nick: Okay, you don't need
this, Sharon.
Everyone's waiting for you at
the house.
I'll take you home.
>> Sharon: Yeah, we have to go,
but still --
>> Nick: I'll fill you in on the
way.
Let's go.
>> Diane: I honestly didn't come
back to cause anyone pain.
>> Elena: Oh, that feels really
good.
>> Nate: Tough day at work?
>> Elena: [ Sighs ]
Tough day, tough night.
Plus, it's not the same anymore.
>> Nate: What do you mean?
>> Elena: You're not there.
>> Nate: Mm.
>> Elena: So now I have to wait
until I get home to fill you in
on everything.
>> Nate: Well, other than that,
has the vibe changed between you
and the rest of the staff?
>> Elena: Yeah.
I'm not getting that subtle
judgment about dating the chief
of surgery anymore.
>> Nate: Good.
You don't deserve any of that
attitude.
>> Elena: [ Chuckles ]
>> Nate: Besides, your ability
speaks for itself.
You are a surgical warrior.
>> Elena: Mm, well, right now I
feel a lot less like a warrior
and more like a marshmallow
thanks to your magical hands.
>> Nate: Are you headed upstairs
for a nap?
>> Elena: I am certainly headed
upstairs.
And you're coming with me.
>> Nate: Am I?
>> Elena: Yes, I just got a
burst of energy.
>> Nate: Okay, what do you have
in mind?
>> Elena: Well, I was thinking I
would start with a bubble bath.
>> Billy: Hi.
>> Lily: Hey.
Hello.
Nice to be back, right?
>> Billy: Yeah, sure.
>> Lily: Just so happy the
construction next door is done,
so that way we don't have to
work out of the apartment
anymore.
>> Billy: Well, working out of
the apartment had its benefits.
I liked the commute.
I didn't have to always wear
pants.
But, yeah, it's good to be back.
We've had a lot of success here.
>> Lily: You seem off.
Something happen at the family
meeting?
>> Billy: [ Exhales sharply ]
It's not enough that
Diane Jenkins is alive, she's in
town.
>> Lily: What?
>> Billy: Yeah, she came by the
Abbott house at Kyle's request.
I don't know, I guess to plead
her case to the Abbotts.
We were able to ask her whatever
we wanted.
>> Lily: Wow, so I guess that's
why Jack wanted you there.
How did it go?
>> Billy: Well, she gave us her
song and dance about how she's a
changed person.
She made a pretty compelling
case as to why she should be
allowed back in Kyle's life.
I told him that if I was in his
shoes, that I would give her a
second chance.
>> Lily: You did?
>> Billy: Yes, I did.
Ashley had a different opinion.
>> Lily: Well, I mean,
everyone's gonna have a
different opinion, but at the
end of the day, it's up to Kyle.
>> Billy: I agree.
That's what I told him.
It's his decision.
And then, after Diane left --
>> Lily: Oh, wait, there's more?
>> Billy: There's more.
Jack's long, lost granddaughter
showed up.
>> Lily: So you met her?
>> Billy: I did.
She's very nice.
She seemed like a very kind
person.
I was mostly just happy for
Jack.
You know, he was very surprised
and over-the-moon.
>> Lily: Wow, well, that's a lot
to happen in one day.
I'm exhausted just hearing about
it.
>> Billy: How'd it go with Nate
and Devon?
>> Lily: It was actually really
good.
Yeah, Nate is fully invested,
pitching ideas.
You know, things are coming
along.
And Devon's even open now to the
big launch party.
>> Billy: Oh, that's great.
Happy to hear that.
>> Lily: Yeah, so not as much
drama as the day that you had,
but...
>> Billy: Well, speaking of
drama, um...there's something
else I need to tell you.
>> Billy: You were right about
Victoria's reaction to my
"Grinning Soul" podcast.
[ Sighs ]
I ran into her on the way to the
Abbott house, and she questioned
me.
Of course I denied it, but she
knows it's me.
>> Lily: Right, of course she
does.
>> Billy: And she knew that I
was talking about Ashland.
>> Lily: [ Sighs ]
Well, you let your anger cloud
your judgment.
>> Billy: And now you get to say
"I told you so."
>> Lily: No, I'm not gonna do
that.
I -- I love that you have the
"Grinning Soul" persona to kind
of share things without using
your name.
You know, I think it's a good
way for you to express yourself.
But you have to be careful.
I don't think that your stories
should hit close to home.
>> Billy: I hear what you're
saying, but what is the point in
having a free-wheeling,
speak-truth-to-power platform if
I'm not actually trying to make
an impact on the world that we
live in?
>> Lily: It's about finding the
right balance, finding that
median point to where it's both
personal and universal.
>> Billy: You are so smart.
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
>> Billy: And I promise you that
I will make more of an effort to
do that moving forward.
>> Lily: Good.
>> Billy: But right now there's
something else on my mind.
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
>> Kyle: [ Sighs ]
[ Knock on door ]
It's Kyle.
Hello?
[ Knock on door ]
>> Ashley: Hey.
Did you go after Kyle?
I mean, that's the only reason
you left so abruptly, isn't it?
>> Jack: Yeah, you're right.
I went to check on him.
He's fine.
Where -- Where'd everybody go?
>> Ashley: Billy just took off.
>> Traci: Allie and Abby are in
the kitchen getting a bite to
eat, and I think they're hitting
it off.
>> Jack: And did you get a
chance to talk to Allie for a
little bit?
>> Traci: I did.
She's lovely.
>> Jack: And did you give her
the whole Abbott family history?
>> Traci: No.
Just volumes one and two.
>> Jack: [ Laughs ]
>> Ashley: Jack, I like her.
I mean, I know I had my
reservations, but now that I've
met her, I'd like to get to know
her a little bit better.
>> Jack: Good, I'm glad to hear
that.
>> Traci: Although I did get the
sense that something is weighing
on her.
>> Jack: Yeah, I got the same
sense, but you know what?
I'm not gonna push.
I'm gonna wait till she's ready
to tell me.
>> Ashley: Well, whatever is
going on with your
granddaughter, Traci and I were
talking and we're gonna leave
the two of you alone so you can
catch up.
>> Jack: Well, that's very
generous, thank you.
>> Traci: Oh, just one little
word of advice before we go.
>> Jack: Okay.
>> Traci: [ Chuckles ]
Jack, I know that you decided
that you're not going to push
her for answers, but what if
she's feeling that she can't
burden you with her problems?
>> Jack: No, I've already told
her.
She can talk to me about
anything, anytime.
>> Traci: Yes, but she's young
and just getting to know you,
and maybe she feels like she
can't open up.
I was just thinking, maybe she
came here for you to lend her a
shoulder to lean on without her
having to ask.
There have been some questions
about whether I am talking about
someone or something specific.
What I can say is that my
musings -- or my ramblings, as
some people would call them --
are of a universal nature.
However, they are from my
experiences as I try to share
some thoughts to give you one
person's perspective on the
world at large.
It's not always going to be
pretty.
In fact, at times, it will be
downright ugly.
I will change the names to
protect the innocent.
[ Sighs ] But then again, who
among us is innocent?
I know I am not.
And in saying that, I will be
hard on myself.
But I will be very hard on the
ones that mean to take advantage
of others.
On the ones that mean harm to
others.
On the ones that have evil in
their hearts, I promise you
I will show them no mercy.
>> Nate: Poured you a glass of
Chardonnay.
>> Elena: Thank you.
>> Nate: It should help you
relax.
>> Elena: Oh, I'm plenty
relaxed, believe me.
>> Nate: Mm.
>> Elena: And yet, energetic.
I guess you have that effect on
me.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
I feel the same way.
I was so excited about work and
my meetings with Devon and Lily,
then you walked in.
I couldn't focus on anything but
you and these beautiful eyes.
>> Elena: Mm.
Yeah, I could tell you had a
great meeting because your
energy was infectious.
>> Nate: It was great.
[ Chuckles ]
I didn't think I could get that
worked up about business.
It's inspiring.
>> Elena: [ Chuckles ]
Well, it helps when you're
working with the right people.
>> Nate: That's true.
There's something magical about
a family coming together to
share a dream.
>> Sharon: I don't understand
how it's even possible that
Diane is alive.
>> Nick: I don't know the
details, but I cannot believe
she could show her face around
here after everything she's done
to this family.
But let's not -- let's not worry
about Diane, alright?
We've got far more important
things to consider today.
>> Sharon: I know.
I don't have the bandwidth right
now to give her another moment
of my time, but...
>> Nick: But what?
>> Sharon: But I'm wondering how
her sudden reappearance is
affecting you.
I mean, I'm rattled by seeing
her.
And you were a lot closer than
I was.
How are you doing?
>> Nick: Look, I'm fine.
Let's not worry about Diane,
alright?
My only focus today is on you.
Is there anything you need me to
do for Rey's service?
>> Sharon: I know you're worried
about me and you want to do your
part to help, but honestly,
Nick, just being here is enough.
It's everything.
Thank you.
I don't know how I would get
through this without you and the
kids.
>> Nick: Well, we're gonna be
there for you today, every day
after today.
For whatever you need.
>> Diane: Kyle, what are you
doing here?
>> Kyle: Um, waiting for you.
Where have you been?
>> Diane: Just around town,
visiting some of my old stomping
grounds, trying to reconnect
with Genoa City.
>> Kyle: How'd that go?
>> Diane: Oh, it was -- it was
difficult.
It's going to be a long, hard
process, but that's to be
expected.
I -- I feel better just seeing
you, though.
I'm glad you waited for me.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I didn't know
how'd you react.
I wasn't sure if you felt like I
ambushed you back at the house.
But, um...I'd understand if
you're angry with me.
>> Diane: Not at all.
I know why you wanted me to face
the family.
[ Chuckles ]
I was able to explain myself to
everybody at once, and they were
able to respond and everything's
out in the open.
It was -- It was positive.
>> Kyle: I'm glad you see it
like that.
>> Diane: Yeah, I can imagine
there was a colorful
conversation after I left.
>> Kyle: Yeah.
That's -- That's a fair
description.
>> Diane: Yeah.
So I guess there's just one
question now.
>> Kyle: What's that?
>> Diane: Where does that leave
the two of us?
Is that what you came to tell
me?
>> Kyle: This may be hard for
you to hear.
But I came to tell you...I'm
going back to Milan tonight.
>> Allie: You're back.
>> Jack: Hey.
Everyone's been treating you
well?
>> Allie: Everyone's been great.
>> Jack: Well, you made a good
first impression with the
Abbotts.
Everyone is raving.
>> Abby: Where's my mom and
Aunt Traci?
>> Jack: Oh, they just stepped
out for a second.
>> Abby: Well, I am really glad
that you're back, Uncle Jack,
because I have to get going and
I didn't want to leave Allie
here all by herself.
Allie, it was really nice to
meet you.
If you need anything at all,
just give me a call.
>> Allie: Thanks, Abby, for
everything.
>> Jack: Thanks, Abby.
You're the best.
>> Abby: Bye.
>> Jack: So did you get all
settled in upstairs?
>> Allie: I did.
Traci was a big help.
Everyone has been really great,
Jack.
Just like you said.
>> Jack: And your room is okay?
>> Allie: Yeah, the room is
lovely.
I mean, the house is just
beautiful, so...
>> Jack: I know this is all a
bit overwhelming, but everyone
is genuinely happy to meet you,
and they all want you to feel at
home here.
>> Allie: [ Sighs ]
Your family has been nothing but
kind and warm and generous to
me.
>> Jack: They're your family,
too, Allie.
>> Allie: [ Crying ]
