Victor (Eric Braeden) rarely changes his mind, especially when it comes to the Abbott clan. He doesn't believe that Kyle (Michael Mealor) is right for Claire (Hayley Erin), and he's already tried to use Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) to break them up.

On Monday's show, watch for Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) to get Victor and Claire to reconcile. She's got her work cut out for her. Claire is not going to take Audra's actions lying down, and Victor's not likely to change his mind. How will Nikki get these two loved ones to see common ground?

Suspicious minds

Audra has received compliments from Victor on her ability to spin situations to her advantage. However, she has her limits. Victor has yanked his funding for Vibrante, and there's obvious tension between Audra, Kyle, and Claire.

Nate's a very intuitive person. He's going to pick up on some uneasiness with his girlfriend. On Monday's show, watch for Nate to sense that Audra is keeping a secret. Will the savvy lady be able to spin and keep Nate in the dark? Or will she come clean and let him know what she's been up to with Victor?

Train stop

Lily (Christel Khalil) offered Cane (Billy Flynn), her ex-husband, a deal. If he came clean with what his big plan in Genoa City was, then she'd work with him in breaking the news to their kids, Charlie (Noah Alexander Gerry) and Mattie (Lexie Stevenson), about his identity as Aristotle Dumas.

The Newman Media article on Cane's secret life has let the whole world -- including Cane's kids -- know about Aristotle Dumas. On Monday's show, watch for Cane and Lily to reach a stalemate. Who's going to make the next move? Tune in to find out!
