The Young and the Restless couple Jack and Diane appear to be headed for divorce. Diane’s world was shattered when she walked in on her husband with Patty. Although Jack tried to explain his actions, Diane wouldn’t listen, and she might regret her decision.
Key Takeaways
- Jack was held captive by Patty.
- During his captivity, Jack was drugged and made out with Patty.
- Diane walked in just as Jack and Patty were getting passionate.
- An angry Diane walked out on her husband.
Cheating Heart
Thanks to Victor (Eric Braeden), Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane’s (Susan Walters) marriage might be over. The Moustache kidnapped Jack in a bid to get Chancellor back from Billy (Jason Thompson). But Victor wasn’t alone in his plan, he had help from Jack’s ex-wife, Patty (Stacy Haiduk).
As a frantic Diane and The Abbotts searched for Jack, he was being held captive on a yacht by Patty. Jack’s attempts to escape were thwarted when he was drugged. During his drug-induced state, Jack began making out with Patty.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Diane busted in and caught them. As expected, Diane was fuming after seeing Jack in bed with Patty.
Jack tried to explain what happened, but Diane didn’t want to hear his excuses. During their confrontation, an emotional Diane slapped her husband. While Diane’s reaction made for a great moment, it’s sparked a debate on Reddit.
Most fans think she was over the top in her reaction. “Yes, it would be very shocking to walk in on, but I do think she is being unreasonable. He was basically drugged and raped.”
“Yeah, it was really weird. I thought she’d be like ‘ok, clearly he was drugged or trying to go along with something to save himself’, instead she is like, ‘omg he got kidnapped to have an affair.’ Wtf,” wrote one viewer.
However, some fans don’t blame Diane for being angry. “I actually think Diane was right. Jack completely forgot he was married, basically. A drug isn’t going to do that to you. He doesn’t get a free pass.”
Divorce or Reconcilation?
Things aren’t looking good for Dack’s marriage now that Diane’s move out. However, Jack isn’t going to give up. The Jabot CEO will do whatever it takes to save his marriage.
Although Diane isn’t in a forgiving mood at the moment, fans are hopeful she’ll come around. After some time apart and clearing her head, she might start to see things from Jack’s perspective.
Jack and Diane’s road to reconciliation won’t be easy, especially with Victor. With the Abbott and Newman war still raging on, The Moustache will continue his scheming. If he brings Patty back again, then it might just be the end for Jack and Diane.
