What's next on The Young and the Restless

Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is at odds with her husband, Victor (Eric Braeden), over his war with Jack (Peter Bergman). On Monday's show, watch for Nikki to confront Lily (Christel Khalil) about her deal with Victor. Nikki would like nothing more than to see Victor drop his crusade against Jack. Victor's involved with other matters, including his deal with Lily. Will Lily share with Nikki what she knows about Victor?
The Former Mrs. Newman

Victor has not only hurt Jack by tricking him into getting into bed with Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk), but he has also hurt Diane (Susan Walters). On Monday's episode, watch for Victor to make no apology to Diane. If she were expecting one, she's got another thing coming, apparently, or, in this case, not coming.
Victor romanced Diane in the mid-1990s after she had resumed her relationship with Jack. Mesmerized by Victor's world and larger-than-life personality, Diane married Victor. He dumped her to remarry a "dying" Nikki, who ended up living. Diane was out of luck. Ultimately, Victor hasn't put Diane's feelings first, and it doesn't sound like he's about to start doing that now!
The ex-wives club

Billy (Jason Thompson) may be riding high on a personal front now that Sally (Courtney Hope) is pregnant with his child and they are planning a committed future together. However, he's not having as much luck in the business world.
On Monday's show, watch for Billy to bargain with Victoria (Amelia Heinle). What is Billy going to want from Vicki? She pulled a power play by sending their kids out of town and off to school. Perhaps Billy is looking for Vicki's aid so that he can tell their children that they're about to become big siblings to Sally's unborn child?
Jack's boundaries

Jack ruined Patty's life when they were married, and he cheated on her with Diane. Now, Patty's back in Jack's life and has taken some kind of revenge by teaming up with Victor to throw Jack and Diane's marriage into turmoil.
On Monday's show, watch for Jack to set boundaries with Patty. He may ask her to have no contact with his family, especially Diane and Kyle (Michael Mealor). Alas, Jack did not set boundaries with Patty when they were trapped on Victor's yacht. Will Patty ignore Jack's desire to set some boundaries?
