On the February 4 episode of The Young and the Restless, Cane raged about Victor threatening Lily, Mattie, and Charlie, while Abby and Devon sobbed over a missing Dominic, and Mariah monologued over his tiny sleeping form. Is the show brilliantly showing us how these two stories will intersect? And, if so, here is how Cane can use Dominic’s kidnapping to his advantage.
Key Takeaways
- Cane won’t fold to Victor.
- Mariah isn’t turning over Dominic.
- Victor is the common denominator (as he is for all things).
Never Surrender
Victor (Eric Braeden) figured that once he stashed Lily (Christel Khalil, who showed off her new baby) and the twins somewhere Cane (Billy Flynn) couldn’t find them, Cane would burst into tears and do anything Victor said, which includes handing over Newman Enterprises.
But Cane isn’t in a crying mood. First, he confronted Adam (Mark Grossman), making it clear Cane ain’t playing. But there is still another ace he can play.
Spy Ware
Cane built an AI program that can do, basically, magic. And now that Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) is in his corner, Cane is even more powerful. Remember when Phyllis used her amazing hacking skills to figure out who Ashland Locke (Robert Newman) really was, while Victor’s incredible security teams just sat on their hands and looked confused?
Cane told Adam that if Victor went after his family, Cane would go after his. Adam dismissed it as an idle threat. But a Newman is already missing: Dominic (Ethan Ray Allen).
Hide and Seek
Cane and Phyllis’ mad tech genius should be able to track down Mariah (Camryn Grimes) with no problem. Her car must have passed multiple traffic cameras by now. And once Cane finds Mariah, he can go to Victor with a trade: Dominic for Lily and the twins.
Joke’s on Cane, however: Victor couldn’t care less about Abby (Melissa Ordway). But Dominic is a boy grandchild. Maybe Victor will care about him. And then he’s right back where he started.
