He <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">thought<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"> that sometimes you held onto something so desperately that you drained the joy out of the thing you wanted the most. He <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">believed<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"> that he\u2019d found something to help. By closing his eyes and simply breathing, he was able to allow the thing he wanted most in his life to arrive. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">He touted meditation and said it helped him get into a mindset to do the podcast. He vowed to put it all out there and enjoy the ride. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">He said his amazing sister gave him the idea for this new approach, and she was right, as always. He was just beginning to dabble in meditation, but so far, so good. He said he\u2019d had a blessed life, but he\u2019d also struggled. He hoped that this could help one person, or better yet, they could collectively help each other. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">B<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">illy promised his audience the good, the bad and everything in between. He thought he\u2019d start with a story about a little girl whose death changed everything forever. It changed his life, and it was a cautionary tale that got worse before it got better. He wasn\u2019t sure he\u2019d ever fully heal, and he wasn\u2019t sure he\u2019d want to, because he didn\u2019t want to lose the memory of his daughter. He said Delia\u2019s memory hadn\u2019t been serving him the way it should. He said he had to love, honor and celebrate her without letting the grief and pain drive him. The story\u2019s end wasn\u2019t happy, because Delia was gone, but it was filled with beautiful memories. Even with the pain, he was grateful and lucky to know Delia, even if their time together was short. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Billy built walls of hatred around his heart when he lost his daughter. The walls were aimed at the person who caused Delia\u2019s death. Now he realized that was a way of avoiding his loss and his guilt. When the guilt erupted, he acted out in scary, troubling ways. At one point, his mind actually splintered. He was lucky enough to have the love of a good friend and therapy that helped him put his life back together. Eventually, something amazing happened, and it saved him \u2013 love. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Jack and Phyllis were back at her hotel after their trip to LA. She wanted to do a deeper dive into the person behind the texts. He couldn\u2019t focus on that right now. He said he couldn\u2019t have gotten through this trip without her. She wished she\u2019d gotten the chance to know Allie a little better. Jack was still hopeful.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Later, Jack came home and brought Keemo\u2019s belongings inside. He poured a drink and looked at Allie\u2019s photo. He received another text. \u201cYou left too soon. You should\u2019ve given her more time,\u201d it said. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">He replied asking the texter to identify themselves. Traci came downstairs. Jack had some stuff to tell the whole family, but he wanted to run it by Traci first. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">J<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">ack read the letters from Keemo to Traci, and it moved her to tears. She wished she\u2019d been there when he found them. He said Phyllis had been there, and she\u2019d been strong and a good friend. He wished he\u2019d reached out to Keemo one last time. Traci didn\u2019t want Jack to blame himself. She said a relationship was a two way street. His brain knew that, but his heart hur<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">t<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">. His emotions were all over the place. She thought that was understandable. She said his mind was trying to make sense of something <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">nonsensical.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"> He wondered how she always knew the right thing to say. Traci was shocked and delighted to hear that she had a great niece, and Jack had a granddaughter. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">She was eager for the details. He showed her a photo of Allie. Traci asked if Allie was sending him the texts. Jack said that Keemo never told Allie about him. Traci wanted to meet the new Abbott. Jack wanted it to happen, but he said it wouldn\u2019t be right away. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">J<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">ack stated that Allie proposed getting together for coffee the next time they were in LA. He didn\u2019t think much would come of it though, since Allie\u2019s first instinct had been to run for the hills and forget they ever met. He said Allie was just as shocked by his existence as he was by hers, and he wouldn\u2019t blame her if she wanted to forget they ever met. He didn\u2019t blame Allie if she decided not to know him. Traci found the whole situation heartbreaking. Jack wasn\u2019t giving up on Allie. He was convinced that he could bond with his granddaughter. He said he had to find some way to let her know the Abbott\u2019s door was always open to her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Traci didn\u2019t want Jack to set himself up to be disappointed. He told her not to worry \u2013 he was aware this might not work out, but maybe it could. He saw Allie was bright and resourceful, and she needed family. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Traci asked about Allie\u2019s mother. Jack said the mother\/daughter relationship was rocky. When he looked at Allie, he saw someone alone, afraid and sad. Traci know Allie wasn\u2019t the only one who was sad. She admired the way Jack handled this. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Traci admitted she\u2019d<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"> had reservations about the trip, but she was glad he went and found Allie, and she was also glad he was back home. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Traci knew the rest of the family would want to know. Jack thought it was too late at night for a call right now. He was going to go for a drive to clear his head. Jack hugged Traci and said he loved her. He couldn\u2019t believe his son was gone, but he was determined not to let that happen to his granddaughter. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Amanda and Phyllis were at the hotel. Phyllis said it felt great to emotionally support Jack, when he was usually doing that for her. Amanda asked if any romantic feelings <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">surfaced in LA<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">. Phyllis said it wasn\u2019t like that. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Phyllis said what happened with Jack in California was heavy \u2013 he dealt with the loss of his son and all the other stuff. Amanda was sorry for making light of the situation by asking if it the trip turned romantic. Phyllis said she and Jack weren\u2019t in a romantic mindset. Amanda knew Jack appreciated Phyllis being there for him. She said Phyllis was that rare person who\u2019d drop everything and fly across the country if someone needed them. Phyllis was happy to be there for Jack. Amanda thought Phyllis and Jack\u2019s relationship reached a new level, even if it wasn\u2019t romantic. Phyllis agreed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Allie went back to Keemo\u2019s house in LA and talked to her father\u2019s spirit. She wept and said she couldn\u2019t believe he was really gone. She wasn\u2019t sure what to do without him. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">She was confused and she wanted a sign from Keemo. When things got rough, or she needed to talk, she always went to her dad, and now she didn\u2019t have anyone, or at least, no one like him. She said that her mom was a million miles away, and busy with her own life. Allie knew her mother would never change. Allie said Keemo was gone, now Jack had shown up, and she wasn\u2019t sure she could trust him. She didn\u2019t want to disgrace Keemo\u2019s memory by doing something he wouldn\u2019<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">t<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"> approve of. \u201cIf you cut him out of your life, then shouldn\u2019t I do the same?,\u201d she asked.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Jill video chatted with Devon, who was at the penthouse. She asked why he was throwing away the chance of a lifetime. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">He assumed she was talking about the idea to merge Hamilton Winters and Chancellor Industries. Jill said the companies would be unstoppable together \u2013 look what the Newman\/Locke merger did for those two companies. Devon was still considering it, but first he thought Hamilton Winters and Chancellor Industries should focus on their first joint venture and see how that went. Jill thought it was a mistake to wait. She told him to think about what Katherine or Neil would do. Devon thought they\u2019d weigh the idea carefully. Jill felt that the proposal was written in the stars. She thought Katherine would love it if Devon was involved in running Chancellor. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Devon knew Neil would love it if his kids were working together. Jill added that Devon was the third parent of her great grandson. \u201cHow much more family can we get?,\u201d she said, with a laugh. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">D<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">evon called Lily over to the house and let her know about Jill\u2019s call. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">He was thinking about the merger, and he loved the idea of honoring family. He\u2019d need to see a very detailed proposal, though. Lily already had one written up. Devon said he didn\u2019t want the merger to cause conflict between him and Lily. He said they\u2019d seen how business could come between relatives. Lily said she and Devon had been through so much together, since their teen years, that no corporate friction could sever their bond. She said she\u2019d step down as CEO if it ever seemed like it\u2019d come between her and Devon. He said that if anything went bad, he\u2019d step down as CEO too. He was ready to do this merger and make Neil and Katherine proud. Lily was thrilled. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">L<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">ily went home and told Billy that, while a lot of work and negotiations had to happen, she thought the merger was a go. Billy shared that meditation was working out well for him. He just finished his first podcast, and it felt good. He wasn\u2019t sure anyone would listen, but it was cathartic. She wanted to hear it. He said she featured in it. He told her he\u2019d never tire of felling her she saved his life. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Amanda went home and got smothered in kisses from Devon. She wondered if she was that irresistible. He said yes, and he also had news. He told her about the merger. She hoped Lily didn\u2019t push him into this. He assured her the decision was his. She said she was ecstatic, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">then<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">. She knew the deal would be complicated, but potentially groundbreaking. She noted that she and Devon would be working together. He hadn\u2019t been this happy in a really long time. He said this was going to change their lives, and Lily\u2019s life, and their two families\u2019 legacies would never be the same again.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Jack\u2019s drive took him to Phyllis\u2019s hotel. He thanked her again. She said she was happy to do it. Her kindness, friendship and loyalty meant the world to him. He got a text, and Phyllis asked what it said. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Allie was asleep on the couch when an unidentified person entered the room, casting a shadow over <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">her<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">She woke up, looking frightened, but nobody was there anymore. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Traci listened to Billy\u2019s podcast and seemed impressed. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">As Billy talked about love, in a voice-over, scenes of Amanda with Devon, Billy with Lily, and Jack with Phyllis played.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Jack silently handed his phone to Phyllis, so she could see the recent conversation between him and he mystery person.
