Jack is dealing with a lot, including a fallout with Nikki over her comments about Diane.
Victor is plotting against Jack, involving Adam and Kyle in his revenge scheme.
The preview shows Jack yelling at Kyle, hinting at more tension in the Abbott family, which means Tracy will return home to a mess.
On a brighter note, Tracy is finally getting another shot at love with Allan. Hopefully, we’ll see their romance develop on screen.
It’s always nice to see Tessa and Mariah, who marked their first date anniversary with cute squid hats. However, they’ve been sidelined for a while and need a substantial storyline. Meanwhile, Devon’s proposal to Abby might have been impulsive, but it was heartfelt. Despite their stable relationship, Abby’s history suggests trouble might be on the horizon.
The engagement provided touching scenes, especially between Abby and Kyle. However, the writers wasted potential by making Claire a nanny for Summer and Kyle instead of exploring her character’s struggles within the Newman family. It would have made more sense if Audra was positioned as a villainous stepmom in the custody battle for Harrison, giving Summer a legitimate reason to be upset.
The drama intensifies as Adam and Chelsea nearly reveal their affair. Chelsea’s guilt is becoming apparent, and Adam’s cover-up is making things worse. Billy, known for his harsh reactions, might not handle this well, just as he didn’t when Phyllis cheated with Nick. Sally has given Adam chances to confess, but he keeps making wrong choices. The impending reveal is bound to reopen old wounds between Adam and Sally.
An old clip of Melissa Claire Egan circulating online highlights why she should be stirring up trouble rather than playing a tragic romantic heroine. If Billy spirals due to Chelsea’s infidelity, it won’t be good for him personally or professionally. He’s already battling to keep Chancellor out of Victor’s hands. Lily, on the other hand, is dealing with a possible takeover at her new company and might find comfort with a new romantic interest, potentially Nick. This situation complicates things as Victor asks Nick to gauge Lily’s loyalty.
Lastly, Phyllis has unintentionally worsened Summer’s custody battle, leaving Nick to fix the mess. Sharon is also spiraling, experiencing hallucinations about reuniting with Nick. A jealous Sharon could reignite her rivalry with Phyllis, setting the stage for intense drama ahead.
