Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is nothing if not a man of his word. He's vowed many times to make Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) pay for his involvement in the life of Victor's wife (and Jack's former wife) Nikki Reed Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

On Tuesday's show, watch for Victor to celebrate his big win against Jack now that he's used the AI program against him. Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) never intended for Victor to hurt Jack with the program, but that's what he did anyway. How will Jack respond to Victor's latest attack?

Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) had high hopes for the launch of Abbott Communications and the gala that promoted the media company. Victor's actions have changed all that, of course. Now, the power couple is going to have to do damage control on Tuesday's show.

Sally is an expert at keeping Billy in check. Goodness knows she's had practice! Sally will not only have to do damage control, but she's also going to have to keep an eye on Billy. She'll want to make sure that Billy doesn't go over the deep end. Sally has worked hard at getting Billy to move forward with his own dreams and not be stuck in the past with his vendetta against Victor. But how can she keep Billy from wanting to get even with Victor after what he's done to his family?

Chelsea's corner

Despite her con artist past, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) has surprised us a few times in recent months when she has sided with Adam over his being a bit aggressive or assertive with his enemies. She supported him when Newman Media did the hit piece on Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Billy.

On Tuesday's show, watch for Chelsea to confront Adam about his going rogue. She may support Adam when it comes to defending Newman, but perhaps she doesn't want him going after people who haven't struck first. Chelsea's confronting Adam could be taken as a sign of disloyalty from Victor. If that happens, Chelsea and Adam could find their relationship in jeopardy.
