Jack Oblivious to Victor’s Revenge Plot
Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), a seasoned veteran in the corporate wars of Genoa City, seems to be turning a blind eye to the storm brewing on the horizon. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), his long-time rival, is clearly on the warpath, fueled by a thirst for revenge after Jack’s recent escapades with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott).
Victor Pressures Family to Return to Newman
Victor is meticulously setting the stage for his next attack on Jabot, the Abbott family’s cherished empire. He’s pulling the strings, urging Adam (Mark Grossman) to temporarily reclaim his position at Newman Media and pressuring Victoria (Amelia Heinle) to return to Newman Enterprises. He’s even pushing Nikki away from her CEO role, insisting she focus on her recovery – a move she vehemently opposes. Given Victor’s influence over his family, it’s likely they’ll eventually bend to his will. But will his persuasive powers extend to the son of his arch-nemesis?
Audra Attempts to Lure Kyle to Glissade
Meanwhile, Audra (Zuleyka Silver) attempts to lure Kyle (Michael Mealor) into accepting Victor’s offer to co-lead Glissade, the newly acquired company poised to rival Jabot. Kyle, however, remains hesitant to abandon his family’s legacy, despite the escalating tensions with his mother, Diane (Susan Walters).
Diane Threatens to Fire Kyle
Audra’s pleas fall flat, and Kyle firmly rejects the idea of working with her. Enter Diane, whose frosty reception prompts Audra to retreat, leaving mother and son to their simmering feud. Their argument escalates, with Diane threatening to fire Kyle if he doesn’t toe the line.
Victor Tempts Kyle with Promises of Autonomy
Victor seizes the opportunity presented by the Abbott family discord, swooping in to tempt Kyle with promises of autonomy and respect at Glissade. Kyle, still reeling from Diane’s threat, counters with an ultimatum: he’ll join Glissade, but only as the sole CEO, without Audra.
Victor, known for his aversion to ultimatums, is faced with a difficult decision. Will he betray Audra, who helped him secure Glissade, or will he risk losing Kyle, the key to dismantling Jabot from within? The stage is set for a dramatic showdown, with the fate of both families hanging in the balance.
