Victor Newman’s Realization

Let’s start off with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

The couple will still not see eye-to-eye.

However, there is something more important that the estranged couple needs to deal with.

Victor and  Nikki realize they need to unite and pull together to save Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).

Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) has already warned Victor that Nick is still using.

Then, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) also noticed Nick was acting off when she went to chat with him over coffee.

Jack Abbott’s Win

Over with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), he will be elated over Diane Jenkins Abbott’s (Susan Walters) voicemail.

Jack will think he finally has a chance to get his marriage back. Jack might even update Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). 

Of course, that could have Kyle warning his father about the Patty scheme.

Even if Jack explains his plan, there is no way Diane will be okay with Patty being any part of it.

So, Jack might have to tell Patty that their deal is off. Good thing Patty is now fixated on Matt.

The man is tied up and he’ll have no idea how to get out of this situation. However, help is on the way for the villain.
