For Nikki, maintaining a calm front is becoming increasingly painful. Despite everything going on with her son, Nick Newman, Nikki will do her best to fake it until she makes it during Friday’s episode.

Billy Intervenes Between Lily and Cane
Across town, Billy Abbott finds himself stepping right between Lily Winters and Cane Ashby. The intense confrontation prompts questions about whether Billy is about to drop his game-changing “Chancellor” news directly onto the pair.
During the Thursday, August 13 episode, Billy revealed a stunning secret to Jack Abbott and Kyle Abbott: the Abbott family actually owns Chancellor due to a bailout agreement made years ago by John Abbott.
Practically foaming at the mouth for an opportunity to take the reins at Chancellor, Billy believes he has finally uncovered a legitimate legal path to seize the company for his family.
How Lily and Cane will react when confronted with Billy’s explosive claim remains to be seen, but the corporate fallout promises to be immense.
