They should act according to it.
As a point of interest, as a CPT are you expecting the F/O to let go of the T/L before you're making the move to take it over? I've always tended to operate on the basis of once I feel the CPT taking them after he's said "Thrust set" I'll let go, other wise I'm letting go if he says "STOP"... if none of those things happen I need to reject the T/O before 80kts so it makes sense to wait until I can feel he's actually taking control.
