Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) have in common a love of family, a strong business sense, and are pillars in Genoa City. They also have something else in common -- they spar whenever they run into each other.

On Thursday's show, watch for that dynamic to play out when the two moguls encounter each other. Victor may have agreed to hold off on attacking Kyle (Michael Mealor), Jack's son, who is dating Victor's granddaughter, Claire (Hayley Erin). However, that doesn't mean that Victor and Jack won't stand their ground with one another in a battle of wits!

A bold move

Kyle stood up to Victor in France, and he has done everything he can to keep Claire in the loop about Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and her machinations. He hasn't fully shared with her that he needed to let Audra think her scheme in Nice was working.

On Thursday's show, watch for Kyle to make a bold move. Will he let Claire know that he got shirtless and a bit intimate with Audra in France? He had to let Audra believe she had the upper hand. But will Claire understand that Kyle did what he needed to do? Or will she feel betrayed on some level?

A mother's love

Speaking of Claire, we've seen her take matters into her own hands by telling Nate (Sean Dominic) that he needed to be aware that his girlfriend is deceptive. But will that be enough? Is Claire going to revert to her wicked ways and drop a bigger anvil on Audra for trying to break up her and Kyle?

On Thursday's show, watch for Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Claire's mother, to grow concerned about her daughter's future. Vicki has seen her father take action over the years against his enemies. It doesn't necessarily guarantee satisfaction. Victoria may want to keep her child from taking action that will ultimately make her very unhappy in life.
