Savannah Guthrie made her return to the Today show — nearly two months after her mom, Nancy Guthrie, went missing.
In a preview clip, which was rolled out on Wednesday, March 25, Savannah sat down with her pal and former colleague Hoda Kotb about how she's coping with her mom's vanishing.
“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable. And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night — every night,” Savannah said. “And in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable — but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.”
Inside the Interview

Savannah Guthrie gave her first interview since her mom vanished.
During the episode, Craig Melvin, Carson Daly and Al Roker announced Hoda and Savannah's interview would be airing in the next few days.
“It has now been 53 days since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in the middle of the night and Hoda, yesterday, you got the chance to spend some time with our girl. You sat down with Savannah — her first interview since her mom’s disappearance,” Craig revealed.
'Emotional Conversation'

Savannah Guthrie's mom has been missing since February 1.
“As you can imagine, it was a very emotional conversation,” Hoda shared. “We’re going to have the whole thing for you tomorrow and Friday. But first, we wanted to bring you one of the moments of the interview where Savannah sent a message to anybody who may have some information.”

Hoda Kotb spoke with her friend about her missing mom.
Hoda said Savannah is doing "OK" despite the circumstances.
“There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah. I mean, she’s hoping that somebody — whoever this person is — will see something, say something,” she continued.
Hoda said viewers will learn more about the situation in the next few days.
“I was sorta marveling that she was able to sit there with an outfit on, have a conversation and also just have direct thoughts about what she sees going forward,” she added.

Savannah Guthrie said she's in 'agony.'
As OK! previously reported, Savannah's mom has been missing since February 1.
Although a masked man was caught on video footage, there are still no suspects.
Savannah released a new statement thanking the Tucson, Ariz., community for their support.
"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now," she told News 4 Tucson on March 21.
"We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case. Someone knows something," Savannah, 54, went on.
