Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) has had an uneven relationship with Adam (Mark Grossman) over the years, but she's getting along just fine with Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan). Not too long ago, the two women had a heart-to-heart talk. On Thursday's episode, Chelsea will reveal a secret to Nikki.

Will this be something that Adam preferred she keep secret? Might Adam change how he feels about Chelsea if he finds out she's sharing secrets with Nikki? The Newmans are facing a big challenge right now in light of Cane (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis's (Michelle Stafford) attack on Newman Enterprises. Adam may demand loyalty from Chelsea at this crucial time.

Unfinished business

Did Harrison (Redding Munsell) light a fuse under Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Claire (Hayley Erin) when he tricked the two into being in the same room at the same time earlier this week? On Thursday's episode, watch for Kyle and Claire to discuss unfinished business.

Maybe Claire is going to take a look at her reaction to Kyle keeping a secret from her about what went down with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) in France last year? Sure, they kissed, but Kyle was only giving Audra a little rope so she could hang herself. In the end, Kyle won Victor's admiration to some degree. Might Claire and Kyle be open to getting back together?

Thief of Hearts

On Thursday's episode, Adam is going to have a change of heart. This could mean he's rethinking doing Victor's bidding without asking any questions, and whether or not that's a path he still wants to travel. Sally (Courtney Hope) recently pointed out to Adam that when they were together, she tried to steer him into becoming her own man.

It's possible that the "change of heart" Adam is going to have is referring to his romantic life. He and Chelsea are pretty solid...aren't they? Perhaps Adam is going to realize that he either needs time away or that he regrets losing Sally. We have to admit that would be a pretty big jump from where he is now. Tune in to find out how Adam's heart will change!
