A lot of people in Genoa City make threats, but when Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) makes one, you can believe that he's going to follow through with it. That's why he's the Great Victor Newman!

On Friday's episode, watch for Victor to make good on a threat. Is he going to finally destroy Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), or has he settled for throwing a wrench into his marriage to Diane (Susan Walters)? Keep good thoughts for whoever Victor is going after -- they're going to need it!

On Friday's episode, watch for Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) to use her power of persuasion with Jack. Initially, the Abbott patriarch was apprehensive that Nikki would truly go against Victor. But Nikki assured him that she was serious. She wants to be Jack's ally in stopping Victor at any cost!

What will Nikki have to do to convince Jack that she means business? She's moved off the ranch and into the Genoa City Athletic Club, but that was Victor's call -- not Nikki's. If Jack truly believes that Nikki's on his side, then there may be no stopping this twosome. After all, nobody knows Victor better than Jack and Nikki!

Victoria, victorious

Victoria (Amelia Heinle) is back from Italy, and while she didn't convince Summer to come back with her, she did deliver a letter from her blasting Phyllis for her machinations.

Now, it's Vicki's turn to be in the hot seat. On Friday's show, watch for Diane and Kyle (Michael Mealor) to interrogate her. They're going to probably want to know what Victor's role with Jack's yacht escapade with Patty (Stacy Haiduk) truly was. However, given Vicki's loyalty to her father, Diane may not get the answers she needs.

The Way We Aren't

Audra broke Noah's heart. Is he open to revisiting his relationship with her, either as friends or something more? Sienna wants what's best for Noah. But is that Audra? Or will Noah and Sienna stand the test of time?
