Billy (Jason Thompson) may feel like he's about to get everything he's ever wanted when it comes to his work life. Cane (Billy Flynn) offered him Chancellor, and then, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) made sure he got it. Billy believes that Chancellor never should have been taken away from him and given to Victor (Eric Braeden). This is his chance to show the world that Victor is wrong and that Chancellor is where it should be.

On Wednesday's show, watch for Jack (Peter Bergman) to throw a wrench into Billy's plans. This isn't the first time that Jack has had to step up and set Billy on the right path, and it may not be the last. Billy may not see that he's getting a big win through illegal means. He may not forgive Jack for ruining his plans for the future.

Nikki means business

On Wednesday's show, watch for Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) to vow revenge against an enemy. She would like nothing more than to have the war between Victor and the Abbotts, specifically Jack, come to an end. Nikki attempts to play peacemaker whenever she can, but that doesn't mean she won't attempt to actively seek revenge against anyone who has harmed her or her family. Who could Nikki's enemy be? Will her vow of revenge come to fruition?

The Secret Sharer

On Wednesday's show, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) is going to share her plan of attack with Nate (Sean Dominic). Does this mean she's going to reveal to him that Lily (Christel Khalil) has agreed to help Victor with his plan against Cane? Victoria could be taking a big gamble by bringing Nate into her confidence.

Vicki and Nate started to grow close again after he supported her following Cole's (J. Eddie Peck) death. Nate made inroads with Victor at Thanksgiving. But can Nate be trusted if he feels that Lily may not be safe?
