Victoria Newman puts Kyle Abbott in an uncomfortable position, Nick Newman makes a dire prediction about their father, Victor Newman, and Audra DeSantis faces uncertainties as power dynamics shift within the family.
Victor’s influence looms large over everyone’s actions, as usual. He tries to justify Nate Hastings’ actions to Nikki Newman, blaming Adam Newman for the situation.
However, when Nick and Adam confront Victor about his manipulative tactics regarding Sally Spectra, Victor denies any wrongdoing, insisting it was just a business decision.
This confrontation reveals the underlying tension between the Newman family members, as they struggle to reconcile their loyalty to Victor with their own sense of what’s right.
Victoria’s quest for loyalty leads her to question Kyle about his boss, Audra. She is clearly fishing for information, and Kyle, who is trying to steer clear of family drama, finds himself in a tight spot.
Victoria’s curiosity about Audra seems to hint at her underlying trust issues, which are further exacerbated when Nate arrives with a red rose, seeking to mend their relationship. Victoria is hesitant but agrees to a weekend getaway to see if they can move past their recent issues.
Meanwhile, Audra is facing uncertainties of her own. After a candid conversation with Nate, she is left questioning her alliances. Nate makes it clear that he doesn’t appreciate being used as a pawn in the Newman family’s power games.

Elsewhere, Chloe Mitchell and Esther Valentine offer support to Sally, who is still reeling from Victor’s betrayal. Sally is clearly disappointed and feels caught in the crossfire of the Newman family drama. Despite her initial reluctance, Chloe eventually accepts a job offer from Chelsea Lawson, signaling a new chapter for her.
As the episode comes to a close, Victoria and Nate share a passionate kiss, and Victor reveals to Nikki that he plans to use Nate as “insurance” against Adam, a move that Nikki warns could backfire.
