Lily Gets a Shocking Suggestion from Victor

At Crimson Lights, Lily and Devon commiserated over a rough call with Nate, who is barely holding it together after losing his brother. But Lily’s mind is also on Cane, the man she now calls a monster, and Devon’s gentle reminder of their once perfect love didn’t soften her stance. Cue Victor strolling in with a jaw-dropper: Lily should cozy up to Cane to find out his next move. Yes, he actually suggested she make her ex think there’s a chance for a reunion. Lily bristled at the thought, but Victor warned that Cane might target their company next. It was a dangerous idea… and Lily was starting to consider it.

Audra’s Spin Gets a Sally-Style Reality Check

Over at Society, Audra was venting to Sally about Kyle and Victor pulling the plug on Vibrante. Not only was the project dead, but Victor wanted his money back. Sally, ever the voice of reason wrapped in sass, reminded Audra she knew the game she was playing. But Audra wasn’t interested in licking her wounds. She insisted she could still get Claire to see the “truth” about Kyle, which in Audra’s world means stirring the pot until it boils over. Sally tried to talk her down, even handing her a ready-made excuse for Nate, but Audra wasn’t about to layer on more lies. Instead, she vowed to face Nate and figure out her next move herself.

Victor Plots While Adam Questions His Motives

At Newman Media, Claire and Kyle tried to strike a deal with Adam to buy his apartment, a move Adam suspected was less about real estate and more about needling Victor. The man himself soon appeared, smirking at the attempt. Kyle called him out for trying to control every corner of Genoa City, and Victor didn’t even pretend otherwise. Once Kyle and Claire left, Adam pressed his father to let them be, but Victor insisted it was just infatuation. Then came the real bombshell: he planned to sic Cane on Jabot, using one enemy to distract from another. Adam warned this could push Claire further away, but Victor, in true Mustache fashion, declared he knew exactly what he was doing.

Claire Confronts Audra in Public

Later at Society, Audra and Sally’s bar chat was interrupted by Kyle and Claire. Claire wasted no time, storming over to accuse Audra of trying to cause trouble. Audra’s response? Drop a few suggestive comments about Kyle being in her hotel room. Kyle fired back that Audra was desperate and embarrassing herself, but Audra kept pressing, telling Claire to open her eyes before it was too late. As Sally whisked Audra out, Kyle begged Claire to tell him she didn’t believe a word of it.
