Claire (Hayley Erin) grew up outside of the Newman family thanks to her Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk), who poisoned her niece's mind against them. A lot of things happened in between Claire being whisked away from the hospital as an infant and when she was reunited with her family, decades later.

That's a lot of storylines to miss! Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor (Eric Braeden) split up and got back together a few times, Claire's niece Abby (Melissa Ordway) was born, and so many other things happened! On Wednesday's show, watch for Nikki to give Claire of history lesson. How much history will Nikki give her granddaughter? It could take up several episodes!

Schemes and dreams

Audra (Zuleyka Silver) goes after what she wants in life on The Young and the Restless | Image: JPI

Audra (Zuleyka Silver) could use a break. She lost funding for Vibrante from Victor after failing to break up Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Claire (Hayley Erin). Now, Sally had to put a pin in terms of hiring Audra at Abbott Communications because of Jill (Jess Walton). Audra traded barbs with Claire at Crimson Lights. At times, Claire's remark definitely made an impact on Audra.

On Wednesday's show, watch for Audra to plot her next move. Is she going to make a play for Kyle to get under Claire's skin? Or will she try to improve her position in the business world? Perhaps Cane needs a new ally since Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) betrayed him by giving Victor the AI software?

You've got a friend

Lily (Christel Khalil) is at a crossroads. She found herself defending Cane (Billy Flynn) to Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) recently. She knows on one hand that Cane didn't handle his big gala in Nice correctly, and he also botched the whole AI situation. (Does Cane not have antivirus software? Why did he give Phyllis, of all people, access to the program?)

On Wednesday's show, watch for Lily to commiserate with Holden (Nathan Owens). He knows about loss, and the two are bonded over the fact that his pal and her new beau, Damian (Jermaine Rivers), died last summer.
