On The Young and the Restless, Victor (Eric Braeden) dug himself a hole by interfering in Claire (Hayley Erin) and Kyle’s (Michael Mealor) relationship. It was one thing to threaten Claire that she better obey his wishes, and it was another to be blatantly rude to Kyle at her father’s funeral. But hiring Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) to come between the pair was crossing a very wide, deep line for Claire.

Victor’s also been busy trying to deal with the threat that Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is bringing to town. Worried that Cane wants his businesses, Victor has tasked Nick (Joshua Morrow) with befriending Cane to find out what he’s up to. But Nick also has another connection: Phyllis.

Meanwhile, Nate (Sean Dominic) has had a lot going on since everyone returned from France. He found out that his newly-found half-brother Damian (Jermaine Rivers) was murdered in Nice, and he flew to Chicago with Damian’s mom Amy (Vallarie Pettiford) for the service. Now that he’s back, he knows something isn’t right.

Let’s see what’s going to happen on tomorrow’s episode:

Claire’s ready to rebel. She doesn’t care what Victor’s concerns are or why he hates the Abbotts so much. She was controlled all of her life by her Aunt Jordan, and she doesn’t want that again for herself, not by anyone.
