Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and his wife, Nikki Reed Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), have been estranged for quite some time now. He was willing to let her walk out the door over her insistence that he end his relentless feud with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).

All that's on hold right now, however, it seems. Now, Victor and Nikki's only son, Nicholas (Joshua Morrow), is fighting for his life because of his addiction to opioids.

On Monday's show, watch for Victor to bargain with Nikki. Victor's an expert businessman, so he may give Nikki what she wants -- putting a pause in his pursuit of Jack. In return, Victor will want something from Nikk in return. Will she be able to give Victor what he wants? Will they unite long enough to see Nick through his ordeal?

Jack's heart grows fonder

On Monday's show, watch for Jack to worry about Diane's (Susan Walters) absence from Genoa City. He likely doesn't know that Diane had a nightmare in which she lost Jack to Patty (Stacy Haiduk). Diane realized in her dream that she was ready to give Jack another chance.

Sadly, she may never get to have a future with Jack as she's gone missing. Has Victor kidnapped Diane in his latest scheme to get control of Jack? Did Patty do something to eliminate the woman she believes is her rival for Jack's affections?

In the back of Jack's mind, he might not be able to not think about the fact that Diane had faked her death years ago and went undercover. Has she done that again?

Memory lane

Nick has a vested interest in Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) getting his memory back. What good is taking revenge on his nemesis if he doesn't remember all the heinous things that he had done to Nick and his family?

Matt may have saved Nick's life (we'll never know for sure -- maybe the paramedics would have arrived in time, or maybe Sharon, played by Sharon Case, would have jumped in and done CPR. She knows it, right?

Nick is just out of the hospital and is still battling his addiction. However, he's going to do anything and everything to get Matt to remember what a horrible person he is! However, Nick might want to be careful what he wishes for, as Matt Clark, with his memories back, could be quite dangerous!
