Nick is too old to be acting like a bratty boy, with the wink implied regarding Victor’s incessant tagging of Billy as that. So, talking matters out with his dad was good for all involved.
Morrow’s character has a point when he talks about Victor playing games with his children. With whatever may unfold in the future, the head of the Newman clan is getting along well with Victoria Newman Locke (Amelia Heinle), Abby Newman Abbott Chancellor (Melissa Ordway), and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman).
It is wise for Nick to release angst and recognize his dad’s position in life. The talk they had, where Victor compared himself to the late Albert Miller (played by the late, great George Kennedy), and then himself to Nick, was brilliant and honest. Doing so impacted Nick’s perspective.

I have been watching this show now for years and Nick definitely needs his turn at a really good story. Not a story with Phyllis who doesn't do his acting skills any favors. A story where he can really shine and use his acting skills fully.
