Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) just loves getting all his ducks in a row, whether he's manipulating things at work or in his personal life. There are times when family and work overlap in Victor's life. That's certainly the case with his son, Adam (Mark Grossman). On Friday's episode, watch for Victor to encourage Adam to play dirty. Is this for a business deal, or does Victor want Adam to be more assertive in his personal life?

He and the other Newmans appeared to be happy over the news that Adam and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) are back together. So, it's more likely that Victor is asking Adam to be more forceful in business. Adam has asked Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) to work alongside him. Victor may have an opinion about that possibility.

A bold move

Speaking of Chelsea, watch for her to make a bold move on Friday's show. We've seen her approach Lauren (Tracey Bregman) for advice about what her next move would be. Chelsea certainly turned to the right person for support. Lauren has been through many changes in her own life. We saw Lauren kindly support Chelsea, and now, we're going to see Chelsea take action.

If she leaves Marchetti and joins Adam's team, her life will be significantly different. She'll be spending most of her days and nights with the man she loves. Will she find that too much togetherness isn't a good thing? Only time will tell.

Not without my son

Phyllis is concerned about Daniel always on The Young and the Restless l Image: CBS

Daniel (Michael Graziadei) may be all grown and a father himself, but to his mother, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), he'll always be her little boy in many ways. We've seen her desperately try to find Daniel a purpose in life by urging, begging, and pleading with Billy (Jason Thompson) to give Daniel a place at Abbott Communications. But Billy doesn't want that. Neither does Daniel.

Phyllis appeared grateful to learn that Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) was the person aiding Daniel through this tough time. But can a helicopter mother love Phyllis truly let someone else into her life when it comes to her son?

She has problems of her own. Phyllis talked herself out of a position at Billy's new company. She just couldn't let it go. Even though she should be taking care of herself, watch for Phyllis to continue to worry about Daniel.
