The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, December 12, remind Victor that Claire has yet to swear her loyalty to him above all others. If she’s going to be working for Nikki — which means working for him — then Victor has a little test for his new granddaughter. Which she’d better pass…or else.

Welcome to the Dollhouse

Victor (Eric Braeden) was delighted to learn he had a new granddaughter. (Well, he was delighted after he recovered from what her Aunt Jordan [Colleen Zenk] tried to do to him and his entire family.) Victor is always happy to have more evidence of how awesome he is — as proven by the number of descendants.

Now, it is time for Claire (Hayley Erin) to work in the family business as all good Newman offspring should. A position under Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) meets with Victor’s approval. But, in the words of Columbo…just one more thing: Claire does understand that being a Newman means forsaking all others, right?

Call of the Wild

Lily (Christel Khalil) has been through a lot lately. On the one hand, there was Billy (Jason Thompson), who sent mixed messages about them working together. On the other side, Victor and Nikki were flat-out lying to her face about Chancellor.

Throw in Devon (Bryton James) and Jill (Jess Walton) on the outskirts, offering their two cents, and we don’t blame Lily for not knowing whether or not she’s coming or going. So when it comes time to make an important decision, Lily takes a firm stand. But will it be in her interest?

You and Me Against the World

Meanwhile, Nate (Sean Dominic) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) have been over in their own corner of Genoa City, in a story that has nothing to do with anyone else. As long as it’s just the two of them, Audra promises to be Nate’s ride-or-die. She can be very loyal. Just ask Tucker (Trevor St. John). Or Kyle (Michael Mealor).
