Lily Challenges All: Lily Fears No One!

Back Off
Lily (Christel Khalil) figured out that Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor (Eric Braeden) were playing her. Even when they denied it. Victor thinks now that he’s admitted it, Lily should just go along with the program. After all, Victor was honest with her. That gives him the moral high ground again. (Not that he ever lost it. Yet more proof about how Victor is superior to everyone else, including Lily.)
But Lily isn’t going to be manipulated by Victor or Nikki. She won’t take second position to Victor’s wife. And she needs Nikki to pass that message on to Victor.
Wet Behind the Years
While Nikki is off handling Lily, on Victor’s orders, Victor has another whippersnapper to discipline. Victor needs to remind Kyle (Michael Mealor) that his current corporate position is entirely at Victor’s pleasure. And Victor can yank it away the minute he feels even mildly displeased. This is evidenced by his perpetual grimace, which is frequent and for no reason.
