Jack, experienced in corporate battles, seeks assistance from Nikki Newman to uncover Victor’s intentions.
Nikki, wary of Victor’s constant plotting, agrees to investigate discreetly. Her probing reveals Victor’s plan to use Kyle to destabilize Jabot and weaken Jack’s position, aiming to take control.
Determined to protect his family and company, Jack devises a counter-strategy with Diane. They reveal Victor’s manipulation to Kyle, who feels betrayed but agrees to gather information and undermine Victor from within.
