Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) went to visit Patty (Stacy Haiduk) recently, and now, he's going to pay her another visit. To what end? We've seen Matt do a lot of reflecting on his life. At times, he can't believe that he's the same man who terrorized the Newmans, causing many of them life-changing harm. Other times, he appears like he's still that man!

How is Matt going to benefit from visiting Patty? What can she possibly tell him about himself that will enable him to move in a positive direction? Later in the week, watch for Phyllis to keep a secret for Matt. Is she going to be doing him a favor in the long run, however? If Matt is going to stick around in Genoa City, he's going to need to be transparent. That's the only way he can begin to create a new life for himself.

How is Sally going to respond to Billy's determination? She's watched Billy rise and fall many times. She's stood by him despite Billy going back on his word many times. Watch for Audra (Zuleyka Charles), Sally's pal, to share a secret with her about her past.
