Harrison’s turkey handprints are a big hit. It’s announced that Phyllis is spending the day with Daniel. Ashley will be seeing Abby later – because that’s what a good Mother does… Jack and Ally interrupt to joke about how much Noah likes pie. Ashley continues to whisper insults about Diane in Traci’s ear. Getting a text from Billy saying that he’s at CL’s, Jack announces that dinner is served.
Back at CL’s, Billy tells Vikki that it wasn’t his story to tell. If it makes you feel any better, Adam and Connor only found out yesterday. Looking over at Chelsea with Johnny, Vikki worries about how this will affect him. He’s handling it with empathy and maturity – let’s follow his lead.
Johnny’s sorry for his reaction and hopes Chelsea’s better now. She makes it clear that it’s not his fault – and I’m better now. You’re a great kid. You’ve always been kind to Conor. The two hold hands across the table. When Lily praises Sharon, she’s praised for accepting the time and energy Billy’s been devoting to Chelsea. Lily hopes things will ‘calm down’ now.
Back at the Glam Club, Phyllis grills Daniel on why he didn’t join Heather and Lucy on Portugal.
Seated at Society, Tucker tells Devon that he’d like to be a bigger part of his life. Devon’s distracted by Nate’s arrival (with Elena) The cousins lock eyes.
Refusing to leave, Nate approaches Devon – hoping they at least can be civil on Thanksgiving. Tucker jumps in to say that what Nate did is unforgivable. Leave Devon alone!
Things have been rocky with Heather for a while, but Daniel doesn’t want to get into it now. Phyllis won’t push – but – I’m here for you. Your sister is too. Daniel’s decided to channel his talent in a new direction. Cheers.
Ashley goes first- she’s grateful for her family and how unified we are (she glares at Diane) Ally’s grateful to be with her new family. Harrison’s grateful for mashed potato. Diane’s grateful to be reunited with her son and grandson and allowed to be part of this family. Ashley hisses at Jack – don’t let Diane get too comfy here.
Applauding their good work, team CL’s goes to open their doors to the hungry. Mariah and Tessa deliver bad news to Sharon. Joss has decided to give her baby to a family member to raise. But, after family, they would have been her first choice (which leaves them hopeful)
Johnny’s really glad he talked to Chelsea. Vikki’s proud of him for following his heart. On the patio, Chelsea relays the same to Billy – he was so sweet. He only knows the bare bones. He then invites her to come by Devon’s for dessert. Carrying a tray of buns in, Lily is NOT impressed.
When Elena gripes about Tucker’s unwanted interference, Nate takes her hand – it’s so nice to have her support.
Tucker apologizes to Devon – I couldn’t help myself. Spotting Ashley, he runs over. Furious that she had to share a meal with Diane, it’s time to take that bitch down.
Jack gushes about John and Dina smiling down on their ongoing legacy – to family, love, loyay, kindness and compassion – to gratitude – to many more family holidays. Happy Thanksgiving, all clink glasses.
Next week: I’m so touched that you’d stand up for me that way. It means everything to me. Diane gives Jack an impulsive hug. Am I interrupting something? Kyle appears … You want to work with Chancellor Winters? Summer’s surprised. Daniel thinks of it as a career change that might just be a game-changer. Victor scowls at Chance – What did you do to my daughter?
