She called Jack and left a message letting him know she was there for him. Lauren came needing an Escape Club session to relax. Phyllis offered a listening ear, and Lauren accepted. She gave Phyllis a vague rundown about Michael\u2019s job with Victor. She said she went days without hearing from Michael. Phyllis assumed Michael saw it as an adventure. Lauren said exactly. She asked if she was just supposed to accept this unpredictable lifestyle. Phyllis wondered why the thing you loved about someone was also the thing that drove you crazy and made you worry about them. Lauren felt like they weren\u2019t talking about Michael anymore. She asked if Phyllis was worried about Jack. Phyllis wasn\u2019t worried before, but now she was wondering if she should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Lauren wanted to know what was going on with her friend, Jack. Phyllis said it wasn\u2019t her news to share. She added that he was in LA dealing with something from his past. She was worried about him facing this alone. Lauren was sure Jack appreciated Phyllis\u2019s support and opinion. Phyllis thought Jack was tired of her opinion. Phyllis felt like she was walking the line between being a friend and meddling. Phyllis said that this wasn\u2019t anything as concerning as what Lauren and Michael were going through. Phyllis was worried though because Jack usually returned her calls, and he wasn\u2019t this time. She said Jack had an amazing heart, and sometimes it could cause him to be blindsided in the worst way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack returned to Diane\u2019s house in LA, after she sent a text asking him to come back. He didn\u2019t want to be there, but he thought it was obvious that she wasn\u2019t going to let this go until she said what she had to say. He was unhappy she\u2019d dragged his grieving granddaughter into her little game. He made it clear that Allie was off-limits. Diane said she\u2019d tried to give Jack something he didn\u2019t know he lost. She knew he was grateful. He angrily thanked her and said they were done here. She was trying to make amends. He said she wasn\u2019t trying to make amends to the people she hurt. He told her she stole something from Kyle that she could never give back. Jack flashed back to comforting a young Kyle after Diane\u2019s supposed death. \u201cYou tore that little boy\u2019s heart out and for that, I will never forgive you,\u201d Jack told Diane. Diane replied that Jack might not forgive her, but she thought he might be able to understand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Tell me why you shredded Genoa City and our son\u2019s life\u201d Jack demanded. Diane felt there was no other way. She\u2019d pulled so many schemes back then. Victor hated her at that point, and she\u2019d wronged Nikki, Phyllis, Tucker and Ashley. Her plan had been to fake her own death and take Kyle far away, but things didn\u2019t go as planned. Everyone had been angry and wanted her gone. She\u2019d been panicked, and Deacon came to her aid. \u201cOh dear God,\u201d Jack sighed. A corpse from the morgue helped the illusion, and she paid off everyone who could reveal the truth. But when it was time, she couldn\u2019t meet up with Kyle, because she knew they couldn\u2019t outrun Jack, and she couldn\u2019t do that to their son. She cried that having the world hate her was hard, but it crushed her to lose Kyle. She was broken and she felt worthless, and she convinced herself that Kyle was better off without her. She knew Jack would love Kyle and keep him safe. She went west. Jack snapped that Diane ran away and didn\u2019t take responsibility and face the people she abused. She said everyone hated her, and in time, she hated herself. The self-loathing, guilt and the shame made her decide that, since the world wanted her dead, she should give them what they wanted. Jack accused Diane of doing this out of self-pity. Diane sought therapy, and she worked through it over the years. She always held Kyle in her heart, and she read about him on the internet, and she said it was obvious that Jack made him into a wonderful man. She knew that Kyle was in Milan with a wife and child. \u201cJack, we\u2019re grandparents,\u201d Diane said. \u201cWe are nothing. You are Kyle\u2019s late mother. That\u2019s what you chose,\u201d Jack said. Diane had stayed away because she couldn\u2019t upturn Kyle\u2019s life again. Jack thought that was the one decent thing Diane did in this journey of self discovery. He said they both knew she wanted something else, and he asked what it was \u2013 attention, absolution, money? He wanted to know what she was after so they could be done with this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane asked if Jack didn\u2019t have any good memories of them. She did. She had her heart broken more than once, but it was worth it, just to be in his life. He said that was decades ago, and if she was still holding onto that, he couldn\u2019t help her. It was far more bad than good, in his opinon. There was a flashback to Jack and Diane. He told her that Phyllis found some plans Diane drew up for a dream house Diane and Jack were going to live in. Diane was touched Jack kept them. Jack said he ripped them up this morning. He\u2019d then told Phyllis that when Diane was with him, she was also getting romantically involved with Victor Newman. Jack considered his entire relationship with Diane to be a waste of time. \u201cI\u2019ve come to realize over time that Victor Newman did me a favor taking you off my hands,\u201d Jack had said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the present, Diane said she and Jack may have been too much alike. The spark was addictive, for her, at least, and she said there was love. She flashed back to the time Jack put a diamond engagement ring in her glass of champagne. He proposed and asked her to make him the happiest man on the planet. \u201cI loved you Jack. And I know there was a time that you loved me too,\u201d Diane told Jack, in the present. Jack told Diane that love died before she\u2019d faked her death. He said to stop whipping up nostalgia. Any warm or any neutral feelings he had for her were obliterated by this latest stunt. She said she brought Allie into his life, and more importantly, she brought Kyle into this world. She told Jack that they were connected. Jack felt that having Kyle was the one good thing Diane ever did. He thought it was absurd that she\u2019d purchased this entire house just to talk to him. He asked if that sounded normal to her. She said she\u2019d done the work \u2013 the old Diane was dead, and it was time for her to make amends. He noted that there were other people she\u2019d hurt. She knew there were others. She said when Keemo died, Jack lost any chance at being part of his son\u2019s life, then she guided him to Allie. She knew family meant the world to him, just as it did to her. He realized she wanted him to help her connect to Kyle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack wasn\u2019t surprised Diane had a demand. Diane said it was a request that Jack, of all people could understand. He reminded her she\u2019d admitted to being toxic. She said that was the past. He pointed out that she recently manipulated Allie, deceived him, and sent mysterious texts so he\u2019d find his son\u2019s obituary. She said she protected Kyle by leaving, but he was a grown man, a father who understood how deep a parent\u2019s love went. She said Kyle was in a better place to understand her love, and she was in a better place, and she could be a healthy presence in Kyle\u2019s life. She reminded him about the time they\u2019d admiring their boy. He remembered how she shipped Kyle off to Switzerland and changed his name to Timothy to hide him from Jack. Diane regretted that, but she\u2019d changed. She told him he\u2019d changed too, so he shouldn\u2019t pretend it wasn\u2019t possible. She reminded him that he\u2019d been cold and callous, vengeful and a user, but he\u2019d changed, so why couldn\u2019t he believe she could too? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane said Kyle was her son. Jack said Kyle was a grown man who\u2019d built a wonderful life, and he wouldn\u2019t let Diane poison it. Jack said he was going to go home and forget this ever happened. Diane said Jack wasn\u2019t the kind of man who could do that. She said he loved Kyle with his whole heart, and Kyle was half her. Jack said Kyle grieved for Diane, and Jack held and comforted and protected him. He wasn\u2019t going to stop protecting Kyle now. Diane yelled that Kyle needed his mother. Jack coldly said Kyle needed a real mother, not Diane. He said she didn\u2019t deserve Kyle, and he left. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack went to the outdoor cafe and texted Allie asking to meet. While he waited for a response, he had a flashback to an old memory. He was with Phyllis, and he was trying to convince her that he didn\u2019t have feelings for Diane. Jack had said he should be thanking Victor for getting Diane out of his life. Phyllis and Jack discussed the fact that Victor and Diane got divorced after everyone learned that the baby Diane was carrying wasn\u2019t Victor\u2019s, as Diane had insisted it was. Diane had left town after the news came out. Jack ripped up the blueprints for the house Diane had designed. There was another flashback. Jack informed Phyllis that he was the father of Diane\u2019s child. Phyllis asked how this could be. She knew Diane got pregnant using sperm she stole from a reproductive lab. Jack explained that, after his testicular cancer scare, he\u2019d donated sperm and had it frozen and stored in the lab. Phyllis was was distraught. It turned out that Victor\u2019s sperm sample was switched with Jack\u2019s, and now Jack was the father. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis blamed Nikki for switching Jack and Victor\u2019s samples. Jack said it wasn\u2019t Nikki. He told Phyllis that Nikki never met the man who switched the samples. He thought the switch was a coincidence. Phyllis didn\u2019t believe it. She said it was either Nikki, or Diane, since Diane had a thing for Jack. Jack was sure Nikki wouldn\u2019t do anything like that to him. He didn\u2019t think it was Diane, because if she\u2019d known the truth about her baby\u2019s father, she would\u2019ve just come to Jack instead of leaving town in disgrace for a year. He pointed out that he and Phyllis weren\u2019t together when Diane found out Victor wasn\u2019t the baby\u2019s father. Jack said Diane was just as messed up by this as he was. Phyllis didn\u2019t think Diane was actually upset about this. Phyllis demanded to know what Diane was planning to do \u2013 give the baby to Jack and Phyllis, then go back to her life in Milan? \u201cNot exactly,\u201d Jack admitted. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare tell me that you\u2019re thinking of making Diane stay in Genoa City so we can share custody with her and have this bitch in our lives 24\/7,\u201d Phyllis replied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the present, Jack called Phyllis and said he met with Allie. He promised to share the details , when he got back. She could tell in his voice something was going on. He told her not to worry. Allie arrived, Jack ended the call. Allie asked what was going on with Diane. He told her forget about Diane. Allie didn\u2019t like Diane living in her dad\u2019s house \u2013 one she only bought to get to Jack. Jack was so sorry. Allie didn\u2019t blame him, but he felt responsible. Allie said Diane abandoned her son when he needed her, and now she wanted him back. Jack said that wasn\u2019t going to happen. He added that he told Diane to stay away from Allie. Allie asked if Diane would stay away from Jack. He was adamant that he could handle Diane. Allie smiled. The way Jack said that reminded her of how fierce Keemo could be when he got protective. Allie said she\u2019d have to tell her dad to tone it down sometimes. Jack wanted to hear how Keemo \u2013 Hao was as a father. Allie had a lot of stories. She also wanted to know about Jack and his family. Jack said they were Allie\u2019s family too. He asked who she wanted to hear about first \u2013 her great aunts, her cousins, her uncle Kyle, who was pretty close to her age. This was surreal for Allie. He said it was so much better than he ever expected. Jack told Allie about Abbott family breakfasts. Allie said as an only child, she got plenty of attention. Her dad was always there for her, but she was embarrassed when Keemo would come and give her a standing ovation at her mathlete competitions. She smiled at the memory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis felt worse after talking to Jack, because she could tell something was wrong. Lauren asked what this was about. Phyllis said it was about Jack\u2019s family, which was the source of all his emotional scars, all the way back to Dina. Lauren knew you didn\u2019t get over being abandoned by a parent. Lauren could relate, because she\u2019d had a really had time with her mom. Phyllis heard that when Dina first came to town to reconnect with her adult kids, Traci and Ashley were very guarded, but Jack let Dina in, only to get the rug ripped out from under him time and time again. Lauren knew the family back then, and she said that was accurate. She said Jack had that capacity for love and forgiveness. Phyllis said she\u2019d hurt Jack a lot. Lauren said Phyllis and Jack were beyond that now. Phyllis agreed. She was careful with Jack because she didn\u2019t want to hurt him again. Phyllis was convinced something was wrong in LA. Earlier when she spoke to Jack, he was fine. Then Phyllis spoke with someone else who was worried about Jack, and that stirred up Phyllis\u2019s protective feelings. And Jack sounded off in this new call, and she knew something happened. Lauren said Michael was at home resting, and he wasn\u2019t going to stop until he\u2019d righted a wrong. Lauren understood Phyllis loved Jack and didn\u2019t want to see him hurt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Back at her place, Diane flashed back to bringing a toddler-aged Kyle to visit Jack. Diane knew Jack didn\u2019t trust her, but seeing him with Kyle made her wish there could be a better solution. Diane had another flashback. In this one, Kyle was school aged, and Diane had brought him for another visit with Jack. Jack ruffled his son\u2019s hair and said he was proud of him. \u201cYou\u2019ve turned into a great kid and I know that wasn\u2019t my doing,\u201d Jack said. Diane smiled and implied that Jack deserved credit too. Kyle told Diane that Jack wanted to be there for his next father\/son event. Diane hoped that would happen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane remembered Jack letting her move into the Abbott estate. He made it clear that this was temporary. He didn\u2019t want her to move halfway around the world. She asked what his father thought of it, and he said he\u2019d make sure she could stay. Diane was pleased until Jack said she\u2019d be living at the pool house and not the mansion He thought, under the circumstances, they should keep distance between Diane and Phyllis. Phyllis and Jack were married, so he wanted to consider her feelings. Diane grumbled that Jack was sticking her and his son into some out building so Phyllis wouldn\u2019t be upset. \u201cThanks a lot Jack. For nothing,\u201d she spat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the present, Diane looked at a recent picture of Kyle on her phone and cried. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Back to the Main Days of Our Lives Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/30\/daytime-soap-updates\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Updates Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"202\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Update Recap written by Christine Phyllis was at the hotel.
