Victor's Gift

Secret Weapon

Speaking of Adam, watch for him on Thursday's episode to share damaging information with Jack (Peter Bergman). It would be in Jack's nature to use any info he has to leverage situations for his own good!

Will Adam give Jack some information that will help the Abbott patriarch figure out that Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) are having an affair? Jack would use that knowledge against Victor if he could. Mind you, he'd want to save Kyle from Victor's wrath, too!

Could Adam be giving Jack some other type of damaging info? Jabot Cosmetics is set to go up against the launch of Vibrante. Will Adam help Jack make sure that Nikki's (Melody Thomas Scott) cosmetics company isn't a threat?

The Unwelcome Matt

Nick (Joshua Morrow) has addressed that he has a hero complex that needs to be examined and possibly retired. But tell that to Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), the man who tried to kill Nick, Adam, Sharon (Sharon Case), and Noah (Lucas Adams).

Weeks ago, Nick assured his loved ones that Matt was in a secure facility getting help. He didn't want Sharon to know the location because he didn't want her working with Matt on his issues. Mariah (Camryn Grimes), likewise, thinks that is a bad idea.

On Thursday's episode, watch for Phyllis to grill Nick about Matt's whereabouts. Phyllis' relationship with Matt has cooled, but her friendship with Nick remains strong.
