Hey, Abbott!

The Abbott clan is taking center stage this week as Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) has a rude awakening upon returning home to Genoa City. She's going to meet Patty's new partner-in-crime. It wasn't enough for Patty to have Diane walk in on her and Jack on the mystery yacht, finding them in bed together. Patty appears to be taking steps to make sure that Jack and Diane remain separated. Patty would like nothing more than to resume her life with Jack!

Meanwhile, Jack's not going to remain idle while his wife is missing. Watch for Jack to take matters into his own hands. He's not the type to just sit back and let things happen!

Patty has more to worry about than Jack being on her case over the missing Diane. Watch for Traci to hold Patty accountable. If it weren't for Patty, Traci's daughter, Colleen, would still be with us!

Boardroom Battles

In case you need a scorecard to keep up with all the changes in Genoa City, you should know that Victor (Eric Braeden) has given Chancellor Industries to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and she's asked Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) to run it.

It's likely not going to sit well with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) that this is happening since she'd been running the company before the whole AI debacle. Watch for Nikki to give Lily the third degree!

Don't Discount Phyllis

Cane is back with Lily, and he's employed. He is likely fairly content as a result (how could he not be), but what he doesn't know is that Victor is using Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) against him. Cane has more to worry about than Victor. Watch for Phyllis to hit Cane where it hurts!

Phyllis and Cane were quite the team for a while. But she double-crossed him when she knocked him out and used the AI program to further her own goals. Cane moved on from Phyllis and refocused his energies on helping Malcolm (Shemar Moore), who, thanks to Cane, is recovering following his diagnosis with aplastic anemia.

Cane's most vulnerable to Lily, and their kids, Mattie and Charlie. Might Phyllis have something in mind that deals with Cane's family? Speaking of family, watch for Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) to confide in her daughter, Claire (Hayley Erin). Vicki is concerned about her mother, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), and her health!
