Phyllis takes Nick somewhere important, the Abbotts volunteer, and the Baldwins' Thanksgiving ends on a disturbing note!
The family is gathering at the Baldwin house for Thanksgiving. Gloria offers Fenmore some caviar - he declines. Eden asks how they can justify spending that much money on fish eggs when there are people starving in the world! Jana arrives and informs everyone that Kevin refused to come without Ryder.
At the coffee house, Ryder tells Kevin to go ahead to his dinner, but Kevin says he'll be staying with him. Mac comes in and tells Kevin that she and Billy broke up. He quips, "There's something to be thankful for!" Mac dismally asks him to help take the pies for the shelter out to her car. Lauren and Michael appear and tell Kevin that they have a lot of food, he should come to dinner, and Ryder is welcome. Kevin tells Ryder, and just then, Lauren notices Daisy drinking coffee. Lauren invites her to join them as well.
Neil, Cane, and Devon are preparing food for the homeless shelter at Indigo. Billy comes in and tells Lily that he's there to help, saying, "Put me to work." Lily is surprised. They talk about how Colleen always volunteered at the shelter at Thanksgiving.
Daniel and Amber have arrived at Phyllis and Nick's house. They greet Victoria, who congratulates them on their marriage. Noah comes downstairs and announces that Summer wants to put make-up on him. He, too, comments on the newlyweds. Nick comes in with food. Daniel says he thought Phyllis was cooking. Nick says, "She tried." Nick and Victoria call Nikki and Victor and wish them a happy Thanksgiving. Phyllis makes a toast, saying it's been a tough year and they all have a lot to be thankful for. Everyone says, "Cheers!" Daniel and Amber head out, and Victoria and Phyllis discuss Nick's lingering sadness over the loss of the baby. Vikki encourages Phyllis to find a way to talk to him about it - otherwise he might go somewhere else!
When everyone is back at the Baldwin's house, Gloria takes Michael aside and tells him Ryder is creepy. Lauren introduces Daisy to the group. Gloria comments that Daisy should give Eden fashion tips. Daniel and Amber arrive, and Amber greets Daisy. Daisy says she remembers Daniel from Halloween. Daniel notices Ryder and asks what he's doing there? Lauren says she invited him - today is a day to set aside their differences and come together as a family. She orders, "Everybody play nice." They eat, and Jeff and Gloria take Fen off to his room. Michael complains that Jeff's probably logging him onto an internet gambling site. Ryder tells Kevin that he has a nice family - he'd like to get to know them better. Daniel takes Michael aside and asks if charges will be laid against him again. Michael doesn't know, but hopes not. They discuss Ryder, and Daniel wonders if anyone has figured out who was in that photograph with him. Eden and Noah are leaving, and invite Daisy to tag along - she declines. Gloria and Jeff leave too. There's a knock at the door - a man asks for Daniel. He goes to the door, and gets served! Michael looks at the paper and says he must appear before the Grand Jury! Ryder takes Daisy aside and asks her what happens if they find out she's the person in his 'red light' alibi picture? She says, "They won't."
Ashley holds Faith at the Ranch and tells her that they will have a wonderful Thanksgiving. She whispers that she's got one stop to make, and then she's going to take her someplace very special.
Jack sits alone at the Abbott dinner table. He talks out loud, to his father, saying that he knows he would tell him not to feel sorry for himself. He muses that they're all thinking of Colleen today too. Jack tells his father he always gave great advice.
Ashley arrives at Indigo, saying she has decided to volunteer as well. She sends Billy out to get Faith's car seat, and on his way he bumps into Mac, who is coming in with pies. Jack comes in as well, and the Abbotts marvel that they all ended up there. Lily approaches Mac and apologizes for asking her to look after the baby if something happens to her - she says that Roxanne and Aunt Liv will be there to help. Mac assures her that she'll be around to raise her own baby, and they agree that Mac will definitely be the surrogate. Lily joyfully tells Neil, as Billy stands back and looks miserable. They work for a bit, then Jack says goodbye to Ashley and the baby. Billy needs to get going too. Devon notices that they don't have the dinner rolls yet, and Neil sees that Phyllis was down for them on the list. Jack offers to phone her.
Still at the tack house, Phyllis takes the call from Jack about the dinner rolls, and says that JT agreed to bring them over. While she has Jack on the phone, she says she has a favor to ask - it has to do with Nick. As she talks, Victoria and Nick talk about their lives. Vikki asks how he's really doing, but just then, Reed cries out. Phyllis approaches Nick and tells him they need to go out - there's something she thinks he needs to do!
JT comes into Indigo with the rolls and Mac happily greets him. He tells her that his new job has transferred him - they're setting up offices in Genoa City, so he'll be back in town! Jack asks if that means Victoria will be back at Newman, but Mac puts a stop to the shop talk. Mac tells JT about the surrogacy. JT wishes Mac and Lily the best. Neil gets the last of the food out, and everyone claps. Jack thanks Neil for the food to go, for his friend. Neil's family, Mac, and JT, join hands to pray before they eat their own dinner. Neil says he's thankful for his family members being there, his son-in-law, who proves that there is reason to give second chances, and for the loved ones no longer with them.
At Sharon's house, Adam and Sharon flirt and play argue over who will do the dishes. Adam makes a remark about his mother, and Sharon lets him know that she knew Hope, and really admired her. They sit down on the sofa, and Adam confesses he's been worried about whether he blew their friendship by kissing her. She says she was surprised, but he has nothing to apologize for. They agree that neither of them has many friends. She comments that the kiss was nice, so they should see where things lead. Jack arrives with food for Sharon, but stops in his tracks when he looks through the window and sees Sharon kissing Adam!
Phyllis, Summer, and Nick arrive at the Abbott cabin. Phyllis tells Nick that Jack told her where the key was kept. Nick didn't think she'd ever want to come here. Phyllis sets up Summer with some coloring, and then tells Nick she noticed his face when he held Summer's doll. She tells him it's okay for him to grieve the loss of his daughter - she knows the ashes are scattered there. Phyllis assures him that she's no longer threatened by this. Phyllis takes Summer for a walk to leave Nick alone. He thinks back to when he and Sharon scattered the ashes. As he stands in the cabin, Ashley appears with Faith!
Billy has Delia with him on the patio at Crimson Lights. Victoria comes in with Reed and makes a dig at him for being alone on Thanksgiving. He asks if she left her husband in New York. Reed wants to play peek-a-boo with Delia.
