Victor Declares a Win Over Jack
Victor (Eric Breaden) is riding high on Tuesday, convinced he has outmaneuvered Jack (Peter Bergman) and gained the upper hand. From Victor’s perspective, his latest move proves that he’s still the most powerful player in Genoa City, especially since Jack took Jabot offline. He wastes no time savoring the moment. Jabot is firmly in his sights.
But Victor’s satisfaction may be premature. While he sees this as a clean win, history suggests that Jack rarely stays down for long. Even so, Victor’s confidence sends a clear message: he believes the board has shifted in his favor, and he intends to press that advantage as far as it will go.
Billy and Sally Face Damage Control
While Victor celebrates, Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Hope) are dealing with the mess left behind by their high-profile launch. What should have been a defining moment quickly turns stressful as they scramble to do damage control. Whether it’s internal fallout, outside interference, or unexpected complications, the pressure is on to protect their credibility and keep things from spiraling further.
Billy refuses to let setbacks derail their momentum, but the situation forces him and Sally to make fast decisions under intense scrutiny. Their partnership is tested again as they work to present a united front, knowing that rivals are watching closely for any sign of weakness.
Chelsea Calls Adam Out
Elsewhere, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) reaches her breaking point with Adam (Mark Grossman). After sensing that he’s gone rogue with Victor and acted without considering the consequences, she confronts him directly. Chelsea wants answers — and accountability — for choices that could put them both in danger.
Adam, never one to back down easily, may defend his actions as necessary or strategic. Still, Chelsea isn’t interested in excuses. She’s focused on the risks he’s taking and the fallout that could follow, especially with Victor pulling strings behind the scenes. The confrontation forces Adam to face the reality that his independence could cost him more than he’s willing to admit.
