Jack was so sad as he took a bite left all alone at the Thanksgiving table

The scene with Jack eating alone at the big table full of food was excellent. Rather true to life, really...lots of people feel very isolated on the holidays. I enjoyed how the Abbotts were reunited at Indigo while getting food ready for the shelter. I wonder if Jack will ever become good at bringing the Abbotts together...it's what he desperately wants but yet he keeps sabotaging his relationships with his family members. He's certainly a far cry from John!

I fel bad for Abby because she has never felt like she belongs. She has a mom who is not there physically. Ashley had never raised Abby because Abby had spent all those years in boarding school. Abby has lost her sister and her dad Brad. Victor has left her. Billy has been on a revenge kick lately and throwing everybody out of his life. Mac left him and Billy is not doing well with Restless Style. Emily left because she had a call from the hospital. I think Jack feels better once he volunteers to help at Indigo.

His dream of a happy family dinner is dashed for now. I can understand Abby. she is so hurt she is lashing out at everyone. Look out this is how the soaps ususlly turn a good girl into a bad one. Billy , Why would Jack think he would be any different . Jack disowned him a few weeks ago and Now he wants to be lovey , dovey?! I think The Doc and Jack Should have had dinner alone , or at least he should have told her to come back after her swift was over. Or better still , he should have packed the leftovers and went o the hospital and waited for he. I know I am too much of a romantic. I feel sad for Jack. I hope next year he will have that family Thanksgiving.
