Disclaimer: This article is speculative and contains spoilers for The Young and the Restless.

Victor is pushing Audra to sabotage the relationship between Kyle and Claire on The Young and the Restless

Victor Newman will do everything he can to end Kyle and Claire's new romance. Although Nikki will plead with him to let Claire move on from the past, Victor will strongly assert that the latter poses a threat to the Abbott family.

Thus, he will instruct Audra Charles to create tension between Kyle and Claire, starting with seduction and manipulation. Audra will begin constructing the foundation, but Nate Hastings' return to Genoa City will complicate things.

Nate already questioned Audra's alliance with Victor, and if he finds out about her manipulation, he may ruin the scheme and Audra's relationship with him, too.

Adam under Victor's pressure, but Chelsea calls out to power on The Young and the Restless

Victor's next target will be Billy Abbott, and he will enlist the help of Adam Newman to take him down using underhanded tactics. Adam will have to act fast, but having Chelsea Lawson as his business partner at Newman Media will be a conflict.

Chelsea will refuse to engage in dirty tricks and will push Adam to commit to being honest. This growing conflict may ignite tension between Adam and Chelsea, threatening their new working relationship and the emotional bond they have been working carefully to rebuild.

If Adam switches sides to Victor, it may destroy all of the progress he has made with Chelsea on and off the job.

Summer complies with Kyle and Claire's plan, and finds herself in a crisis at work on The Young and the Restless

Summer Newman will learn more than she bargained for when she goes to the Abbott mansion and finds out Kyle and Claire are expecting to move in together. The revelation will shock her, especially since she is still adjusting to co-parenting and Kyle's new dating interest.

Meanwhile, Summer will be forced to deal with personal issues at Marchetti once Chelsea departs. While Chelsea crosses over to become COO at Newman Media, Summer will be forced to fill her spot.

Phyllis Summers may move in to take the creative space, causing tension with Sally Spectra and creating an uncomfortable mother-daughter dynamic in the office.

Michael's secret meeting with Jack taints his relationship with Victor on The Young and the Restless

Michael Baldwin will be in trouble after having secretly met with Jack Abbott. The meeting, aimed at establishing boundaries on Victor's growing aggressive behaviors, will be seen as a betrayal if Victor learns about it.

Lauren Baldwin will give Michael an ultimatum in no uncertain terms, telling him to stand down until further notice. Should Victor ever learn of this clandestine alliance, Michael will not only lose his position as Victor's lawyer but also his tenuous standing within Newman's inner circle.

Mariah's secretive behavior creates space in her marriage to Tessa on The Young and the Restless

Mariah Copeland will hide a secret from her wife, Tessa Porter, which will breed suspicion and growing emotional distance. Tessa will sense something is off, but it will be hard to open up.

This shut-off will tax their marriage around the same time that they are working on having a new normal with parenthood and career. Tessa may go to Daniel Romalotti for guidance, calling on him as a trusted advisor because there is no open discussion at home. The emotional bonding between Tessa and Daniel may intensify, especially if Mariah continues to keep things secret.

Fans can watch The Young and the Restless on CBS.
