This week’s messiest move goes to Jack and Diane, who agreed to a revenge pact on Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless. It’s no longer about Cane; it’s about taking down The Mustache.

Key Takeaways

• Jack teamed up with Victor to take down Cane Ashby.
• However, Victor’s only going to stomp over Jack, so he can win.
• Jack hopes to convince Jill to leave Cane’s A.I. software in his hands, rather than with Victor.
• He revealed his plans with Diane to use the software to take down Victor, not Cane.
• This plan could end up backfiring.

On the Thursday, October 9 episode of Y&R, Jack (Peter Bergman) was fresh off his conversation with Jess (Jess Walton), who’s back in Genoa City. (What really brought Jill back to Y&R?)

Jill wants to talk some sense into Billy (Jason Thompson) and Cane (Billy Flynn). But what she doesn’t realize is that she’s still siding with Cane and coddling him. Perhaps she does know this, as she’s concocting a plan with her fake son.

Jack returned to the office to speak with Diane (Susan Walters) about his conversation with Jill. He believes he can get her to give him the A.I. software so it doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.

Then, Diane asked Jack if he would destroy it. He only shrugged until he talked about all the hell that Victor (Eric Braeden) had put them through for years. This could be their way to finally get revenge.

Why It’s Messy

Jack is tempted to use the A.I. software to take Newman Enterprises away from Victor. But it could backfire. Jack has no idea what he’s working with.

He’s not the most technologically savvy among them. Maybe Diane could help him with this plan. Speaking of Diane, did she convince Jack to go to the dark side on Y&R?

We know that neither of them has any idea what they’re doing. All they’re thinking about is having control and seeking revenge on Victor. But they could be in over their heads with this plan.

What’s also ironic is that Jack wants to take Newman away from Victor, while Billy wants to take Chancellor away from Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). They want to do the same thing that Cane has been wanting to do, but somehow he’s the bad guy.

Could Cane be playing a cunning game on everyone on Y&R? It’s sad to see Jack stoop to Victor’s level. Unfortunately, this plan could backfire since Victor will ultimately win, as he normally does.
