Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) arrives and Reed is dispatched to get herbal tea. When Billy steps outside, Victoria questions Nikki attending; she’s been through enough. Nikki doesn’t want to abandon Reed and knows she’s the reason he’s going through this. Billy reappears as Charlie Ashby (Noah Alexander), Mattie Ashby (Lexie Stevenson), and Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) arrive. Mattie talks to Billy about Lily Ashby (Christel Khalil). Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case) arrives. Victoria asks Cane why he felt the need to come and says it’s difficult enough. Billy interrupts so Victoria joins Sharon.
At home, Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni) doesn’t plan to attend J.T. Hellstrom’s memorial she thinks he was a horrible person and she can’t understand how Victoria’s doing this. Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) points out he’s going for Reed Hellstrom, who lost his father. Phyllis feels Reed won’t miss him, and she shouldn’t be around Victoria Newman because she might haul off and slap her right back. Nick mentions Nikki Newman’s going and Phyllis thinks that will be stressful. She decides to come after all.
At the Abbott mansion, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) discuss the memorial. She hopes it will be about more than J.T. Hellstrom’s troublesome ending and knows many people cared about him. Kyle reveals Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) invited him to the Club and they’re in love. Traci is happy for him. She enthuses that he’s making memories that will last forever.
In the apartment, Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez) finishes Lola Rosales’ make up. Lola declares it perfect and Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) declares her a beautiful, elegant woman. Lola explains she’s taking Kyle Abbott on a date and tonight she’ll show him how special he is. After, Rey thinks Kyle won’t last long, but Mia disagrees because Lola’s in love. Rey gets called for a drug bust and says he’ll call Sharon McAvoy about the broken furnace. Mia pushes him to go and says she’ll take care of it.
At Dark Horse, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) declines Arturo Rosales’ (Jason Canela) invitation to his place; she’s going to J.T. Hellstrom’s memorial. Arturo’s surprised, given her father’s been arrested for his murder. Abby concedes it will be uncomfortable. After Abby leaves, Mia Rosales calls Arturo to fix her furnace.
Traci Abbott arrives at Victoria Newman’s house and is greeted by Billy Abbott and Reed Hellstrom. She tells the teen he reminds her of the best parts of his father. Reed thinks it’s nice of her to say J.T. Hellstrom had good parts. Traci embraces him. Next, Mackenzie Hellstrom (Kelly Kruger) arrives. Reed says it wouldn’t be the same without her there. Mackenzie knows it’s hard to make peace with J.T.’s death when there are still so many questions.

Elsewhere, Sharon McAvoy watches as Abby Newman and Nikki Newman hug over Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). Nick Newman and Phyllis Summers arrive. Phyllis pulls Victoria aside to complain about Nikki being under too much pressure and thinks they need to get her out of there. Victoria will only be throwing out Phyllis. Nikki and Sharon join them, and Nikki can’t promise the truth won’t come out. Phyllis asks, “What does that mean?”
After Mackenzie spots, Nick with Phyllis and Cane Ashby updates her on Billy Abbott and Phyllis’ split. Mackenzie watches Billy with Victoria and looks thoughtful and so does Phyllis. She takes him aside to ask if they’re getting back together. Sharon takes a call from Rey Rosales who needs help with a child at the station and leaves.
Reed begins and asks to hear good memories of his dad. Traci goes first, she recalls J.T.’s love for Colleen, his musical talent, and hopes he’s with her daughter now and has put the darkness behind him. Reed talks about J.T. and gets choked up recalling when they played guitar together and sobs over missing him. Mackenzie steps forward to say that’s the man she will remember. Nikki cries, “Oh Reed, I’m so sorry.” Phyllis jumps up and says she has something to say about J.T. that needs to be heard.
At the Athletic Club, Kyle Abbott tells Lola Rosales she looks amazing. She reveals she’s living out a romantic fantasy. They kiss, slow dance, and laughingly talk about the assumptions they made about one another initially. Kyle remarks that they skipped all the drama and says being with her is so damn easy. He had no clue this was possible and realizes it’s how it’s supposed to be when you’re in love. Lola thanks him for being so great about waiting for sex. Kyle reassures her but looks disappointed.
Arturo Rosales arrives at Rey Rosales apartment and declares Mia Rosales’ furnace has had it. She wonders what to do. She is freezing. Arturo advises that she’s resourceful, she’ll figure something out. Later, Mia’s shaking beneath a comforter when Arturo returns with news his buddy can bring a unit by after work. Mia convinces him to join her under the comforter to wait. They get close looking at photos of Lola Rosales. Mia talks about Rey Rosales’ absence and for some reason tonight it’s getting to her.
