In Genoa City, the tension reaches a boiling point as alliances shift and secrets are unearthed. Michael

Baldwin, once a trusted ally of Victor Newman, finds himself discarded by the man he served faithfully.

Free from his allegiance, Michael uncovers a shocking truth: Kyle Abbott is being manipulated by Victor to destabilize his own family and undermine Jabot.

Determined to set things right, Michael arranges a clandestine meeting with Diane Jenkins, Kyle’s mother, at Crimson Lights. Diane, visibly anxious, asks Michael what’s going on. With a grave expression, Michael reveals, “Victor is using Kyle to get to Jack. He’s exploiting Kyle’s ambitions and insecurities to weaken Jabot from within.” Diane is horrified and questions Michael’s motives, reminding him of his close ties to Victor. Michael, however, is resolute. “Victor fired me. I owe him nothing now. This is about saving Kyle before he ruins his future and his relationship with Jack.”

At the Abbott mansion, preparations for a family dinner are underway, meticulously organized by Cole in an effort to restore some semblance of normalcy. However, his daughter, Claire, has other plans. Determined to meet Kyle, Claire informs her father, much to his dismay. “With Kyle again, Claire? He’s going through a lot right now,” Cole expresses his concern. Before Claire can respond, Victoria Newman, Cole’s ex-wife and Claire’s mother, steps in, advocating for Claire’s independence. “She needs to make her own choices, Cole.”

Tension escalates as Victoria and Cole clash over parenting styles. Victoria decides to skip the dinner to avoid upsetting their youngest, Katie, by their presence together. “Our family dinners are important,” Cole insists, but Victoria prioritizes their children’s feelings. Despite his frustration, Cole concedes, realizing that their children’s well-being must come first.

Meanwhile, Kyle and Claire’s date at Society takes an unexpected turn. Kyle, still reeling from a heated argument with his father, struggles to mask his distress. Claire, noticing his distraction, offers her support. “You know you can talk to me about anything,” she says, touching his hand gently. Kyle, finding solace in her presence, thanks her, though the weight of his troubles remains heavy.

Back at the Abbott mansion, Jack is restless, tormented by the earlier confrontation with Kyle. His mind replays the argument and the painful slap that followed. Desperate to mend their fractured relationship, Jack is interrupted by the doorbell. Michael Baldwin stands at the doorstep, a look of determination on his face. Without wasting time, Michael explains, “Victor is using Kyle to destroy Jabot. We need to act fast to save him from this mess.”

As the drama unfolds, the Abbott family faces a critical juncture. Will Diane and Michael’s intervention be enough to protect Kyle from Victor’s machinations? Can Jack repair his relationship with his son before it’s too late? The intricate web of deceit continues to ensnare the residents of Genoa City, promising more twists and revelations in the days to come.
