Audra And Claire Clash

Audra and Claire skip the pleasantries and trade insults before ordering; Audra urges them to lay their cards on the table, then accuses Claire of bluffing and knowing nothing—ironic from someone who treats every conversation like a poker game.

Claire says she knows enough to be afraid and warns Audra’s luck will run out.

She vows to make Audra pay, then makes a perfectly rehearsed exit.

Audra worries for all of four seconds before texting Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) that they have a problem; she calls, insisting they fix it because she won’t go down without a fight.

Audra reaches Holden remarkably fast—unlike everyone else, whose texts go unanswered.

Lucy Comes To The Shadow Room With Daniel

At The Shadow Room, Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) tells Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) that her office is determined to take down every fentanyl dealer in town.

Danny fills her in on his own hectic day.

Before long, they’re kissing—and, right on cue, someone interrupts.

Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant) arrives with Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) close behind, grumbling that his mother is giving him a migraine.

The group immediately ribs Lucy for choosing to spend Friday night with them—a bold move from people who are spending their Friday night at the same table.

Lucy Needs Help Choosing A College Path

Lucy has a purpose: she needs help choosing a college path, with possibilities ranging from law to music.

With a district attorney and a recording artist at the table, she’s getting advice from some well-qualified sources.

They also point out that Devon Winters (Bryton James) is opening a college, where her father might teach, and everyone agrees that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will erupt when she finds out Daniel is considering leaving Arabesque.

Daniel assures his daughter he’ll support whatever she chooses.

Then she steps away to answer a call from a boy.

Lucy Returns, Danny Fills Her In

When Lucy comes back, Danny fills her in on what’s happening.

Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is expanding The Shadow Room in Los Angeles, and he and Christine have offered to sell Noah their share of the Genoa City club.

The proposal gets an enthusiastic response from everyone.

Lucy agrees to give Devon’s college some thought, and glasses rise around the room in a celebratory toast.

Enjoy the moment, Daniel—because once Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) gets wind of the news, a migraine may be the least of your worries.

‘Vyle’ Tries To Break Up Again

At their secret apartment, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) start making out before the door has even closed.

Later, they laugh about how their promise that it would be the last time has never held up—by now, it is practically part of their routine.

They have both made plenty of mistakes, and Victoria wants to know this isn’t the worst one yet.

Given that she hasn’t been with anyone since Claire’s father—and that the first person she chose was her daughter’s ex-boyfriend—it’s a compelling question.

Kyle nudges her to admit she’s enjoyed their time together; they don’t need to discuss it, he says; they can simply enjoy it, and no one has to find out.

Victoria Is Torn

Victoria can’t stop turning it over in her mind.

She wants Kyle, but she feels guilty, and he knows she’s worried about more than Claire: her entire family would be upset.

He asks if she really wants to spend her life on the defensive, and they agree not to complicate what’s happening between them.

Then Kyle gets dressed and snaps a selfie of them on her phone.

Victoria says she can’t keep it, so he hides it from view in case her kids come across it; because hidden photo folders have never caused trouble in soap history.

Their secret romance is also explored in Soap Opera Spy’s coverage of Victoria and Kyle.

Cane Gives Lily A Bracelet

On Cane’s train, Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) lounge in bed, reflecting on all the times they’ve started and stopped their relationship; quite a few, by their standards.

Cane believes they’re right where they belong, offering proof in the form of a bracelet that reads, “I’m always in your lane.”

It’s a bold declaration from someone currently courting her aboard a train, but Lily loves it.

They kiss, go for round two, and Lily teases that he wasn’t bad, prompting him to tickle her.

They’d gladly stay in bed, but they both have companies to run—and the real world is the one conductor no one can bribe.

Jack And Billy Catch Up

At the Crimson Lights patio, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) studies a photo of his brother, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), meeting with a lawyer and wonders what Billy is planning.

At home, Billy plays the devoted husband, telling Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) how excited his mother is to see them in England.

He insists that Sally and the baby are his priority; and all he needs.

When Sally leaves to meet a friend, the living room is clear for Jack’s dramatic entrance.

Billy tells his brother about the trip to England.

Jack Has Questions About Billy’s Meeting With The Lawyer

Jack shows him the photo and demands to know what the meeting was about.

Billy becomes defensive, and Jack says he hasn’t exactly been discreet before concluding that Billy is pursuing Chancellor again.

Jack thought Billy had finally understood that Sally and the baby were enough; Billy insists he loves his family, but says Chancellor belongs to them.

Jack reminds him that all his siblings agreed to let the matter go; Billy says they’re all wrong, and Jack suspects this is really about Cane’s place in their mother’s heart.

Billy denies it, then argues that “smiling Jack” would once have done the same thing; it’s a low blow—but not entirely unfair.

Jack Opens Up To Billy

Jack admits that greed once ruled his life—greed for money, women, and power—all fueled by a desperate desire to prove he was more than his father’s son.

He had to learn that he was enough already, and he urges Billy to learn from his mistakes and spare himself the pain.

Billy appreciates the concern, but he refuses to back down and tells Jack to stay out of his way.

Jack promises he won’t turn him in, but he won’t bail him out if he gets in over his head, either.

Then he walks out; the Abbott brothers are officially at a standoff, and only one of them has a lawyer on speed dial.

Sally And Claire Talk About The Planned Honeymoon

Back at Society, Sally chats with Claire about her honeymoon, and Claire jokes that Audra might tank the company while Sally’s away.

Sally then tells Audra that she and Billy are heading off on their honeymoon—Audra is happy for her.

Sally adds—diplomatically—that some time away from Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) will be good for everyone.

Lily and Cane arrive, and Claire quickly asks Lily about Holden, since they haven’t heard from him.

Lily assures her everything will be fine.

Lily And Cane Discuss Billy

After Lily and Cane sit down, she admits she’s worried Billy will make a move against them.

They agree they need a plan—and they have reason to worry, though they don’t know about the photo Jack is carrying.

Holden then calls Claire, and they talk about how much time he’s been spending with his dad; suddenly, he says he has to go and hangs up.

A moment later, he texts Audra that it’s over—Audra smirks, as if she’s finally crossed a problem off her list.

Kyle finds Claire looking stunned, and she tells him Holden has broken up with her.

Annemarie’s Take

Audra certainly knows how to get what she wants, and Claire may have underestimated her! Meanwhile, Victoria and Kyle keep promising to end things, but neither seems capable of walking away. And Billy refusing to listen to Jack? T

hat sounds like another Abbott family disaster waiting to happen. I have a feeling that secret photo and Victoria’s hidden selfie are both going to cause plenty of trouble!
