The Young and the Restless spoilers for Friday, December 3, circle the wagons and prepare to defend Jabot from the Victor… but is Jack putting his faith in the wrong person?

Key Takeaways

• Jack trusts Nikki.
• Diane and Kyle go after Victor.
• Claire stomps her feet at Audra.

Jack’s (Peter Bergman) plan to save Jabot, as he explained to his family over Thanksgiving, is to shut down the company electronically. After all, if their computers aren’t on, Cane’s (Billy Flynn) super-secret AI computer program can’t worm its way in, can it?

Billy (Jason Thompson) and Ashley (Eileen Davidson) pointed out that the cure could be worse than the disease, and they might lose everything. Jack claimed it was the only option.

Jack’s pretty proud of himself. To the point where he tells Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) all about it. Did he forget that she does anything Victor (Eric Braeden) tells her to… or is that what he’s counting on?

Dig Dug

While Jack spills the beans to his ex-wife, his current wife teams up with their son to find dirt on Victor. Is that hard? Everything Victor does is bad. And he loves to boast about it.

The only incriminating thing we can think that Diane (Susan Walters) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) could find is how Victor held Jordan (Colleen Zenk) prisoner. But with her dead, who’s going to back up their story? Cole (J. Eddie Peck) is dead, too, and Michael (Christian Le Blanc) has been taught his lesson about helping Victor!

Audra (Zuleyka Silver) annoys Claire (Hayley Erin). Claire annoys Audra. So they snipe at each other periodically. Claire is a child. Audra is a grown woman.

You’d think Claire could never take Audra on. But Claire is rich, and she has Victor in her corner. So she knows she will always win. Just like him. That’s what gives her the gumption to keep poking at Audra.
