Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has vanquished many foes over the years, and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is just one more of them. On Monday's show, watch for Victor to send an ominous message. There are many ways Victor can send a message, and he has many foes right now. In addition to Matt Clark, Victor has his sights on taking down Jack Abbott and Jabot Cosmetics.

So either Jack or Matt could be on the receiving end of Victor's message. We suspect that Matt is uppermost in Victor's mind, given the imminent threat to Sienna (Tamara Braun), Matt's wife and hostage. Victor has already wiped Matt out financially. What other kind of message could he send him?

Mother's words of wisdom

Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) has already tried to get Noah (Lucas Adams), her son, to come around and stay safe. She feels that as long as Matt Clark is out there threatening the family, then anything can happen! Noah's safety is Sharon's primary focus right now, but we got the impression from their last talk that Sharon would prefer that her son be involved with a woman other than Sienna.

On Monday's show, watch for Sharon to give Noah some advice. Will he take it? Right now, our guess would be no. Noah is focused on Sienna. He's probably beyond the age where he'd take his parents' advice on matters of the heart. But Sharon is very persuasive. She may be able to get through to her son if she phrases her thoughts in just the right way.

There's going to be a shift in the dynamic between Matt and Nick. We've already seen him call Matt's bluff when the baddie threatened to jump off the railing at Chancellor Park. Nick likely wanted to pummel Matt for his many crimes, from raping Sharon to injuring Noah to kidnapping Sienna.

On Monday's show, watch for Nick to find himself in the driver's seat. Will he get the upper hand over Matt and finally bring him to justice? Matt has a lot to answer for; if anyone should be the one to bring him down, it should be Nick!
