learns about the deadly intentions swirling among his loved ones, he must navigate the treacherous waters of familyloyalty, betrayal, and his own darker nature.

The weight of their conversations loomed heavily in the air as Nikki, Victoria, and Claire gathered in the Newman living room, discussing the threats posed by Jordan. With Jordan’s past as a ruthless manipulator

, Nikki and Victoria weighed the idea of eliminating her to ensure their safety. Claire, on the edge of her role as Jordan’s trusted granddaughter, wrestled with the moral implications of such a plan.

Unbeknownst to the women, Victor lurked nearby, eavesdropping on their hushed deliberations. When Victor burst into the room, the expression on his face was a mix of anger and determination—he was aware of the threat Jordan posed and resolved to take matters into his own hands.

Victor, ever the commanding presence, quickly took control of the conversation. He declared that he would confront Jordan, vowing, “Jordan isn’t just a threat to Sharon; she’s a threat to all of us.” His cold, decisive tone sent a chill through the room, establishing his determination to eliminate the threat once and for all.

Stating that he would lure Jordan into a trap, Victor recalled a hidden underground bunker he had previously used for Jordan. “This time,” he emphasized, “she won’t just sit there waiting for a chance to get fre.

This time, she’ll stay there until the end.” Nikki and Victoria exchanged worried glances, realizing that Victor’s resolve meant that all lines were about to be crossed.

As Victor laid out his chilling plan, Claire faced a moral conflict. Despite spending weeks gathering critical intel while pretending to align with Jordan, she wanted to weigh the risks of Victor stepping into the fight against her.

She understood all too well the cunning and brilliance that Jordan possessed; however, the thought of Victor’s involvement brought her a sense of security.

Simultaneously, Victor grappled with his age and the realization that he needed allies. His thoughts led him to Adam, who had distanced himself from the familial chaos. After broaching the subject with Adam, Victor faced rejection, as Adam was unwilling to be dragged back into Newman family battles. Victor, however, understood that he couldn’t give up that easily.

Victor’s next call was to Michael Baldwin, his trusted lawyer and strategist. It was a pivotal moment as Michael jumped back into action. His expertise and strategic mind would be essential in crafting the intricate plan to thwart Jordan’s return, ensuring they remained several steps ahead of her.

With Michael’s assistance, Victor devised a bait-and-trap strategy aimed at luring Jordan out of hiding. Utilizing Claire’s position as a double agent, they would disseminate false intelligence to entice Jordan into a vulnerable position.

The delicate balance between Claire’s loyalty to Victor and her charade with Jordan became ever more crucial as the plan unfolded.

Claire knew she had to navigate her allegiance carefully, ensuring that Victor remained unaware of the deeper complexity of the situation to avoid his wrath or impulsivity. This careful execution of the plan became paramount.
