Lily told Cane she is leaving Genoa City for a while on The Young and the Restless. Lily is off to visit their daughter, Mattie, and under no circumstances is she allowing Cane to come with her. Lily says it’s just to clear her head. But what if it’s a whole lot more? (And we don’t mean for Christel Khalil’s maternity leave.)
Key Takeaways
- Lily is going to see Mattie.
- Mattie goes to Stanford, a hotbed of AI research.
- Lily will develop a program to beat the other program.

Daughter Dearest
Sure, Lily misses Mattie. She and her daughter are close. Last time, Mattie was so upset by the California wildfires that Lily flew out there to support her daughter.
There is nothing wrong with visiting your kid. Especially when you need to get away from her dad. It’s all totally innocent. Or is it?
Smart Kids
But do you remember where Mattie goes to college? Stanford. And do you know what Stanford is particularly good at? Computer science. Math. Which means… artificial intelligence. You know, the topic everybody in Genoa City is obsessed with and is an expert in lately.
For months, Cane (Billy Flynn), Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), Victor (Eric Braeden), and Jack (Peter Bergman) have been obsessed with a game of “Program, Program, Who’s Got the Computer Program?” If we’re tired of hearing about it, imagine how tired they are of talking about it.
Newer Is Always Better
What if Lily is off to Northern California to see Mattie — and to hire her own team of crack programmers to conjure up an AI even more powerful than Cane’s? Considering the speed with which technological developments happen, Cane’s all-powerful AI is likely old news by now.
Lily has the money to buy an updated version. And turn it loose on all of Genoa City, hopefully ending our long, national nightmare once and for all.
