Meanwhile, Nikki urged Jack (Peter Bergman) to join forces with her, warning that an alliance could be the key to restoring balance in their fractured circle.

Meanwhile, Audra vented about Victor canceling her new venture, steeling herself to strike back at the man who betrayed her. Later, Claire squared off against Audra’s accusations, determined not to back down and intent on protecting her life and relationships on her own terms.

Meanwhile, Billy quietly plotted to undermine Cane from the inside, struggling with his allegiance to family and his drive for power. Chelsea debated whether Billy’s alignment with Cane was genuine or self-destructive, even as Adam (Mark Grossman) pushed her to take drastic action using their media leverage.
