Nick Newman’s Recovery

Nick will look pretty rough, so Phyllis might wonder what is really going on with her ex. Nick may still be sneaking pills without telling anyone.

Then again, he may look bad because of withdrawal symptoms, so there’s that, too!

That would be more realistic than “instant sobriety.” Sorry, y’all, addiction and recovery just doesn’t work like that, no matter what the soaps tell us!

While Phyllis will want to help despite their differences, Nick might not be in the mood. Between Phyllis’ antics and Matt, Nick might tell her off!

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect in tomorrow’s episode, we will see Matt trying to make his way back to Genoa City.

The man is determined to finish what he started. However, with Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) claiming Matt is dead, everyone will be caught off guard.

For one thing, everyone will want to know why Sienna lied. Then, they will wonder whose side she is really on. This could also destroy Sienna’s romance with Noah Newman (Lucas Adams).

This is just too important a thing to lie about. Sienna is going to get people killed. Of course, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) can sense that something feels off.

So, when Matt comes back to finish what he started, what does that mean for everyone else?
