Jill got into a heated confrontation with Nikki and Victor on The Young and the Restless October 8. They asked her to take Cane’s A.I. toy away from him and give it to them. Genoa City’s power couple was left wondering what the real reason was behind her return.

Key Takeaways

  • Nikki wanted answers from Jill.
  • Meanwhile, Victor tried to persuade Jill to see things his way, but she refused.
  • The golden couple wondered whether Jill was back in town because of Cane or if it was due to something else.
  • Does Jill have an ulterior motive?

Showdown With GC’s Power Couple

Jill (Jess Walton) is back in town, and she’s been making the rounds. First, she got in the middle of her dueling sons, Billy (Jason Thompson) and Cane (Billy Flynn).

Then, she had a showdown with Genoa City’s elite, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and his wife, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). Victor thinks that Jill needs to hear from him first before she makes any moves.

He believes that he’s the only one who can tell Jill what to do. She assumed that he was asking her to hand over Cane’s A.I. software, so he could have all the power. Victor agreed that he should get his hands on it. However, he wants to destroy it before it ends up in Cane’s or someone else’s hands.

So, Why is Jill in Genoa City?

For what seems like years, we’ve gotten a glimpse of Jill in her video conversations with Billy and, recently, Cane. But she was motivated to show up in town, which is unlike her.

Victor and Nikki wanted to know what drove her back into town. And they’re not the only ones. Jack (Peter Bergman) also caught wind of Jill’s return. She’s not the type of person who shows up on a whim. So, what brought her back? Was it because her fake son is back in town?

Is Jill Secretly Working With Cane?

Or is there something else going on? Toward the end of the episode, Jill showed up at Cane’s train. She told him that they needed to speak privately.

Are the two secretly working together? It’s no secret that Jill favors Cane over Billy, which means she would also likely go along with his shady ways, including his Aristotle Dumas identity.

If so, this would suggest that Jill is in favor of Cane’s idea of using A.I. Perhaps she wanted to acquire some of these companies. Jill claims that she’s handling Chancellor’s legacy. However, this problem may lead her to determine whether loyalty or legacy matters more to her.
