Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has unleashed Cane Ashby's (Billy Flynn) AI software on Cane's company, but that doesn't mean that the mogul is finished with the former Aristotle Dumas just yet. On Monday's show, watch for Victor to set a trap for Cane. Will he fall for it? Cane is feeling quite vulnerable these days. He's got more on his mind than business. Currently, Cane is in a relationship with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), but he is still in love with his ex-wife, Lily (Christel Khalil). How can he expect to re-win Lily's love when his life is unsettled?

And in this corner

We saw on Thanksgiving at Crimson Lights that there's no love lost between Lily and Phyllis. Right after Phyllis showed up at the coffee shop and offered to volunteer with Esther's (Kate Linder) meal for the needy, Lily made her excuses. First, she and Phyllis exchanged some quips. The tension between these two has been building, and now that Cane and Phyllis are involved, the two are headed for a heated conflict. On Monday's show, watch for Lily and Phyllis to throw down the gloves! Will they come to blows?

Abbotts united

We saw on the Thanksgiving episode just how united the Abbott family is. Ashley (Eileen Davidson) flew all the way in from Paris to be with her family for the holiday. Everyone gave heartfelt speeches about what they were thankful for this year. Viewers walked away knowing that the Abbotts are as united as ever!

That's a good thing because on Monday's episode, the Abbotts are going to get together to try to find a way to protect Jabot. The family company is John Abbott's (the late Jerry Douglas) legacy, and the Abbotts are determined to keep that company intact. Whether it's Cane's AI software or Victor's ongoing plan to get even with Jack (Peter Bergman) for helping Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), the Abbotts will face any threat to their family!
