Can Kyle Outsmart Victor After Young and the Restless December 9?

On the December 9 episode of The Young and the Restless, Kyle told Harrison about Claire’s new job with her grandma Nikki. Could Kyle be planning to use Claire’s position as a way to get his own revenge on Victor?

Fool Me Always

We’ve lost track of the number of times Victor (Eric Braeden) has used Kyle (Michael Mealor) against Jack (Peter Bergman), and each time Kyle thought he was the clever one. The most recent time was when Victor got Kyle to steal trade secrets from his own family. Then, the minute Diane (Susan Walters) made Victor think she’d turn on Jack, Victor kicked Kyle to the curb.

Yet, Jack’s boy thinks he’s a brilliant businessman. Brilliant enough to outwit The Mustache himself. This time.

One Degree of Separation

Now that Claire (Hayley Erin) will no longer be Harrison’s (Redding Munsell) nanny, she’s going to be working for Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). (Hey, remember when she did that already? When she first came to Genoa City? And Nikki said Claire was the best assistant she ever had? Why is everyone acting like working in an office will be unfamiliar and scary for Claire?)

What if Kyle, in his ongoing arrogance, thinks that he can use Claire to get to Chancellor Industries and Chancellor Industries to get to Victor?

Deaf and Dumb

Let us not underestimate this: Kyle isn’t always the smartest, but he’s very self-confident. He thought he could play his father against Victor — and win.

Surely, he thinks Claire is so madly in love with him that she will do anything he says, and together, they’ll bring down Victor. He deserves it. He was mean to Kyle. Doesn’t Claire want to get back at the man who was mean to her precious Kyle?
