Victor and Victoria spar over Claire’s future
At the Newman ranch on The Young and the Restless, Victor kept pushing against Claire’s relationship with Kyle. Victoria stood up for her daughter, saying Kyle had been kind and respectful, but Victor didn’t budge. He was sure the relationship would end badly and Claire would get hurt.
Victoria grew frustrated with Victor’s attitude. When Audra showed up for a private meeting, Victoria quickly sensed something wasn’t right. After Victor mentioned a possible job offer, she left, clearly suspicious of what was going on between him and Audra.
Audra strikes a high-stakes deal with Victor
Audra made it clear in their private talk that she had conditions before agreeing to Victor’s plan. She wanted a solid legal deal and control of a real company like Glissade, not just a temporary division.
She also told Victor she would handle the Kyle situation her own way, without him interfering. Surprisingly, Victor agreed. He would go along with it as long as she helped Claire see Kyle’s flaws. They sealed their shady deal with a handshake.
Claire and Kyle discuss a big step and face reality
At Crimson Lights on The Young and the Restless, Kyle and Claire enjoyed some playful moments before their talk became more serious. Kyle brought up the idea of them moving in together, which surprised Claire. She admitted she wasn’t ready for that step.
Claire mentioned Victor and asked if Kyle’s suggestion was really about proving something to him. Kyle quickly reassured her that his reasons were genuine and had nothing to do with Victor.
Kyle joked about how unrealistic it was to expect Victor ever to support their relationship, trying to lighten the mood. But even with their affection for each other, both of them could feel the weight of outside pressure. The conversation ended on a quiet, serious note, with the sense that Victor’s disapproval and his growing involvement might continue to challenge their relationship.
