Cane’s Family Ends Up in Danger
In early January, Christel Khalil’s maternity leave prompted Lily’s exit from Genoa City. She shared a passionate kiss with Cane (Billy Flynn) on New Year’s Eve. However, she was conflicted by her feelings.
In her heart, she still loved her complicated ex-husband. But Lily told herself that she didn’t know him anymore. Cane has changed ever since he transformed himself into the Aristotle Dumas persona.
Now, their kids want nothing to do with him. Despite his messy relationship with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), Cane kissed his wife on New Year’s Eve. Lily chalked up their brief passion as a moment of weakness. Then, she announced that she was leaving town to spend time with their kids.
She didn’t think trouble would follow. Soon thereafter, Cane stole Newman Enterprises from under Victor’s (Eric Braeden) nose. Victor laid out a master plan to put Lily and her kids in danger. Suddenly, the corporate war became personal.
Cane had to make an important decision, and he had to do it quickly. Victor used his family’s lives as collateral damage. He warned Cane that if he didn’t get Newman back, then he would be without a family.
Lily Prepares For Battle
As the drama played out on the February 4 episode, Khalil shared a teaser on her Instagram Stories. The actress shared a shot of herself simultaneously in beast mode and mommy mode.

It seemed like she was preparing for battle. Khalil lifted a 25-lb weight while her newborn baby was strapped to her chest. In the caption, she teased, “Getting ready for Lily’s return!”
This teaser suggests that Lily isn’t going to depend on her ex to fight her battles for her. She’s going to handle matters herself. Will Lily go up against Victor and save her family in time?
