Phyllis replied that she didn\u2019t know Diane was alive. Diane assumed that Jack and Phyllis were together again. Phyllis wasn\u2019t surprised Diane was still focused on Jack\u2019s love life. Jack stated that he and Phyllis were here to talk about Kyle. Diane was relieved Jack was back. She honestly didn\u2019t think she\u2019d ever see him again. Phyllis yelled that Diane was being patronizing. Diane asked if Jack was going to help her connect with Kyle. Phyllis snapped that Diane didn\u2019t deserve Kyle and never did. Diane asked if Phyllis flew out here just to ruin things between Diane and her son. Jack said he was planning to forget he ever saw Diane, and he only returned to the house because of Phyllis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane was glad Jack returned, whatever the reason. Jack said Phyllis convinced him to tell Kyle the truth. Diane appreciated that. Phyllis clarified that she didn\u2019t do it for Diane. Jack insisted on talking to Kyle first. He didn\u2019t want Diane blindsiding him. Diane said something that made Jack and Phyllis suspect she\u2019d already contacted Kyle. Diane said she hadn\u2019t, but there was so much negative emotion surrounding this that it might taint Kyle\u2019s reaction to the news. She wondered if she should stop being a coward and contact Kyle herself. \u201cMaking threats. Very very Diane of you,\u201d Phyllis said. Diane thought it would be best for Kyle if the news came from Jack, but she revealed that she\u2019d obtained Kyle\u2019s phone number. Phyllis decided to back off because she didn\u2019t want to watch Diane jerk Jack around. Diane could see Phyllis cared about Jack. Phyllis cared about Kyle too. Diane was aware that Kyle was Phyllis\u2019s son in law. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane remembered little Kyle and Summer spending a Christmas together. She told Phyllis she was glad their kids were happy together. \u201cWe\u2019re grandparents, Jack\u201d Diane marveled. Jack said Diane wasn\u2019t a nothing because she gave that right up when she left Kyle. Diane admitted she\u2019d missed many special moments. Diane read about Phyllis\u2019s success in Genoa City. Phyllis said she was flourishing, there was no toxicity in her life, and she\u2019d learned form her mistakes and matured. She assumed Diane couldn\u2019t relate. Diane understood Phyllis and Jack doubted her. Diane didn\u2019t reach out earlier because she was scared of how people would react, and she still was afraid, but Kyle was worth taking risks for. Jack didn\u2019t think the anonymous texts were the height of bravery. Diane noted that Jack wouldn&#8217;t have known about Allie if not for her texts. Diane was surprised that Jack wasn\u2019t being more forgiving after what she\u2019d done for him. She\u2019d expected more from him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack didn\u2019t intend to ever forgive Diane. He told her how he\u2019d had to hold Kyle while he sobbed \u2013 the kind of cries that tore a parent\u2019s heart out. Diane wanted to make up for that. Jack said that wound could never be healed. \u201cThe minute Kyle knows you\u2019re alive, he will know that he grieved for nothing!,\u201d Jack bellowed. Diane conceded that she might not be able to fix what she broke, but she owed it to Kyle to try. She wanted Jack\u2019s help. Phyllis interjected that Jack was the only one who could smooth the way for Diane. She told Diane to stop threatening to go to Kyle on her own. Diane denied saying that as a threat. Jack told Diane to stay away from Allie. He said she complicated Allie\u2019s life while she was grieving for her father. At this point, he wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Allie wanted nothing to do with the Abbotts. Diane said that, no matter what, she was the reason Jack knew Allie existed. She said she gave him a chance he didn\u2019t have with Keemo \u2013 the same chance she wanted to have with Kyle. Phyllis accused Diane of using Keemo\u2019s death to emotionally blackmail Jack. Jack was grateful to know about Keemo and Allie, and he\u2019d repay Diane by telling Kyle about her. He ordered her to walk away if Kyle rejected her. \u201cBut isn\u2019t that what you did with Keemo? He turned his back on you and you let him. Was that the right decision, Jack?\u201d Diane replied. Jack seethed with rage, and Phyllis grabbed his arm and told him it was time to leave. Diane thanked Phyllis for getting through to Jack and said she hoped Jack and Phyllis\u2019s relationship worked out this time. Phyllis sent Jack out the door and turned back to glare at Diane, who broadly smiled at her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack and Phyllis went to the outdoor cafe, where she grappled with the news that Diane was alive. Jack said actually seeing Diane boggled the mind. Phyllis said Diane hadn\u2019t changed \u2013 she was just better at hiding things. He asked if she still thought he should tell Kyle. She was sure that he should do that before Diane did. It went against Jack\u2019s instincts to set Kyle up for that kind of pain. \u201cThis is gonna change [Kyle] forever and I\u2019m partly to blame,\u201d Jack said. Phyllis told Jack that he wasn\u2019t doing anything to Kyle, except preparing him for the shock of his life. Jack kept wondering what he could\u2019ve done to stop Diane from faking her death. Phyllis was sure there was nothing Jack could\u2019ve done. Jack revealed that Diane came to him just before she \u201cdied\u201d looking for money, but he didn\u2019t hear her out. Phyllis said that if Jack had given Diane money, she would\u2019ve taken Kyle. Phyllis said even if Diane didn\u2019t fake her own death, she would\u2019ve probably gone to prison, then Kyle would\u2019ve had to deal with that. Jack said Kyle would\u2019ve known Diane was alive. In Phyllis\u2019s opinion, all Diane did was use Kyle as a pawn to get what she wanted and who she wanted. Phyllis said Kyle was an adult who could make his own decisions about Diane. Jack knew this would change Kyle\u2019s opinion of his mother. Jack said Kyle loved his mother, but he loved the version of Diane that the adults around him let him remember. This Diane was a woman who would walk away from her son. Phyllis said that Jack let Dina back in. jack said he\u2019d felt anger and resentment. Phyllis added that Jack eventually became grateful for his time with Dina. Jack said this was different \u2013 he knew Dina was healthy when she was away, but Kyle thought his mother was murdered. Phyllis said Kyle would get through this with love and support. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack thought Kyle needed to hear this in person. Phyllis said she\u2019d fly over to Italy with Jack, and then give him time alone with Kyle, or she and Summer could be there if Jack wanted support. Jack didn\u2019t like the idea of leaving the country with Diane running around, so he said Kyle and Summer would have to come home. Phyllis thought that was a good idea. \u201cNo one is better at getting their child through something like this than you,\u201d Phyllis said. Jack felt that this was happening so fast. He just found out, and Diane already had Kyle\u2019s number. Jack felt he and Kyle needed more time, but he knew he didn\u2019t have it &#8211; Diane was a loose cannon who could just show up in Milan. He thanked Phyllis for showing up in LA. Jack said he was going to contact Kyle and lure him to Genoa City, just like Diane lured Jack to LA. Phyllis said it was different, but he wasn\u2019t sure he agreed. Kyle agreed to come home and bring Harrison, but Summer had to work. Jack was going to tell Diane, hoping that it would keep her from doing anything drastic. Phyllis wanted to talk about Allie instead. Phyllis said Allie was very intelligent, and she had that twinkle in her eyes Jack mentioned. He knew she was trying to distract him, and he went with it. He said Allie was lovely and smart, and she felt deeply. \u201cJust like an Abbott,\u201d Phyllis replied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane put a picture of herself, Kyle and Jack on the mantle. She had a flashback to an unhappy conversation with Jack. She felt that she was offering Jack a reasonable alternative. \u201cNo, we\u2019re about to light into a custody battle and you\u2019re getting a little nervous and I don\u2019t blame you,\u201d he replied. She didn\u2019t understand why he was determined to think the worst of her. He replied that he\u2019d learned from experience. She\u2019d asked if he cared about Kyle at all. She told him that by going after full custody, he was going to force the judge to choose, and Kyle was going to be deprived of substantial relationship with one of his parents. \u201cSomething like that can leave very deep permanent scars on a child. Is that what you want for your son,\u201d she asked. Diane had another flashback. In this one, she, Jack and Kyle were sitting by the pool. Jack was holding the toddler and letting him dip his toes in the water. Diane had her arms around Jack and said she was glad he was making memories with his son that would last forever. Phyllis walked out and saw Diane all cozied up to Jack and Kyle, like a happy family. Phyllis left without saying anything. Diane heard Phyllis leave, and she looked triumphant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Allie showed up, pulling Diane out her trip down memory lane. As Allie looked at the photo, Diane said that things between Jack, Kyle and her weren\u2019t always so painful. Allie said Kyle was adorable. Diane replied that he\u2019d grown into a handsome man. Allie didn\u2019t plan to come back \u2013 Jack didn\u2019t want her anywhere near Diane. Allie was struck by everything Diane was doing to be with her son. Diane said she failed Kyle. She should\u2019ve healed herself so she could look after him, and she couldn\u2019t go back and fix that, but she could move forward and speak to him. She hoped to have the chance to hold her son again. \u201cYou love him that much. That was me and my dad,\u201d Allie said. Diane was sorry Allie lost her dad. She asked if Allie spoke to her mother. Allie looked down. Diane could see the sadness in Allie from the moment they met. Diane knew how it felt. She asked if there was really no way to repair things between Allie and her mother. Allie was there because she wanted to hear about Kyle, Jack and the rest of the Abbott family. Diane said Allie could ask Jack. Allie wanted to hear it from Diane, an outsider. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane said Jack never expected to be the father of her child. Allie asked if Kyle wasn\u2019t planned. Diane explained that she planned the pregnancy, but Jack wasn\u2019t involved. Kyle was conceived through artificial insemination. The original plan was for another man to be Diane\u2019s baby\u2019s father, but there was a mix-up in the lab, and the wrong sample was used. Allie said that sounded crazy. Diane said it was, but Kyle was deeply wanted \u2013 her son meant everything to her, and he always would. Diane said Kyle was easy to love, just like Jack, but starting a family that way wasn\u2019t the easiest path. A flashback played of Phyllis ordering Diane to take her kid and get out of town. \u201cI don\u2019t want to see you or your son ever again,\u201d Phyllis said. Phyllis accused Diane of going after Jack and using her son as bait. In the next flashback, Diane tried to rattle Phyllis. \u201cYou\u2019re Mrs. Jack Abbott, at least for the moment,\u201d Diane told Phyllis. There were more flashbacks of the feud between Diane and Phyllis. Diane had crowed that she used to be engaged to Jack, and they\u2019d shared a bedroom \u2013 probably the same one Jack and Phyllis now shared. In a different flashback, Diane, wearing a slinky red bikini, tried to entice Jack into taking a swim with her. Phyllis rushed out wearing a robe, and she removed it, revealing her nude body. Jack laughed and told Diane to excuse them. She went into the pool house and peeked through the blinds and saw Jack taking off his clothes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane told Allie that once Diane was out of the picture, there was a lot less tension surrounding Kyle \u2013 he grew up with cousins, aunts and an adoring family. She said the Abbotts didn\u2019t just let anyone in, but when they did, they\u2019d love you forever. Diane knew she couldn\u2019t expect love \u2013 the most she could hope for was a little understanding and forgiveness, but she had to try. Allie would need a minute to process all this information, but she\u2019d get there. Allie asked what Diane was hoping would happen if she saw Kyle face to face. Diane was trying to keep her hopes small, so she didn\u2019t tempt fate, but her big hope was to be Kyle\u2019s mother in every way. She wanted to dote on Kyle\u2019s child and have Sunday breakfasts in the Abbott dining room. \u201cThe family you\u2019re part if is big and loving when they let you in. and there is no better place in the world. You\u2019ll see. It\u2019ll happen,\u201d Diane said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashley called Traci and Billy together at the Abbott mansion to talk about Keemo\u2019s daughter. Ashley had called Jack a couple times, and he wasn\u2019t picking up. Billy wasn\u2019t worried \u2013 he figured Jack was just busy with Allie. Ashley thought the way Allie\u2019s existence came to light was a little bizarre. She wondered if Allie was the texter. Even if Allie wasn\u2019t the texter, she wondered why this mysterious person was injecting themselves into Jack and Allie\u2019s life. It felt manipulative to Ashley, not altruistic. Traci shared some of the same concerns, but she didn\u2019t want to jump to conclusions on Allie. She said Jack wasn\u2019t naive, and he didn\u2019t think Allie was the texter. Ashley suggested Jack was so excited about his granddaughter that he was ignoring red flags about her. Traci was concerned about the texter\u2019s identity, but she said that there was something more important here \u2013 Jack found his granddaughter, and he was eager to welcome her into the family. Traci worried Allie didn\u2019t share Jack\u2019s enthusiasm, but if she did, Traci thought they should welcome her into the family. Billy thought it was good that Jack reached out to Allie. He though the family should stay neutral. Ashley wanted to give Allie the benefit of the doubt, but she thought Jack needed to be cautious. Ashley looked into Allie\u2019s background. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashley didn\u2019t do a deep dive into Allie\u2019s past, just an internet search. She didn\u2019t find anything alarming. She learned that Allie was a graduate student getting an advanced degree in chemical engineering. Billy said Allie was interested in chemistry, like her dad. Traci added that Allie was also taking after her great aunt, Ashley. Ashley assumed Jack had made that same connection and that he was moved Allie was following in his son\u2019s footsteps. She thought Jack would offer Allie a role at Jabot at some point. Ashley suggested that Allie might be taking advantage of Jack\u2019s role at Jabot. She said Jack was already calling Allie family. Traci noted that Allie was family. Ashley said Allie was also a stranger, and they didn\u2019t know her motives. Billy agreed with that. He thought they should keep an eye on this because Jack had a tendency to see things through rose-colored glasses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy felt for Allie a little \u2013 she was on her own, grieving her father and dealing with the bombshell that she was an Abbott. Billy kind of got it because he was late to the Abbott family table, and he had a different mother, and that had its challenges. Traci said, whatever their issues with Jill, they always loved Billy. He knew that, and he loved Traci and Ashley, but he didn\u2019t get a lot of time with their dad, and it wasn\u2019t always easy feeling like the outsider. Traci believed that it would healing for Jack and Allie to bond. Billy hoped that happened because Jack deserved it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashley still had mixed feelings about all this. She was thinking Allie might reject Jack, just like Keemo did, and Jack would have to suffer all over again. She admitted she might be a tad cynical or overprotective. She hoped things worked out well. She admitted that she talked to Phyllis, and she didn\u2019t see Allie as a threat. Traci said, whatever their concerns about Phyllis, she was savvy and she was protective over Jack. Billy thought they should be concerned Phyllis was this involved. Traci said Phyllis had consistently put Jack\u2019s feelings first this time, and she\u2019d been the perfect friend. Ashley wondered if Jack and Phyllis were more than friends. Billy wasn\u2019t trying to figure that out. He just wanted Jack to be happy. Traci brought up the tear drop of love, that was supposed to bring true love to its owner. Traci suggested that Jack could have a relationship with Phyllis and a connection with his granddaughter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy loved Traci and her knack for making things sound like they would end up as they should. Ashley said it was a gift. Ashley said her gift to her siblings was to keep her feelings about Phyllis to herself. She said it remained to be seen what Allie would be like. Traci was putting her faith in Jack, and she hoped Billy and Ashley could do the same. Ashley agreed to keep an open mind and give Allie a chance. <\/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 \u201cPhyllis, I didn\u2019t know you were in town,\u201d Diane said.
