The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has Michael Baldwin (Christian Le Blanc) working as a double agent.

The man who might be playing Michael, rather than having hired him, also has a feared weapon.

Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) has generally acknowledged that he has an artificial intelligence at his disposal and wants it to be used. But Cane wants Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) to lead that effort.

 

 

Everyone is telling Billy not to fall for Cane’s lines or to engage with Victor. But Billy intends to outwit both people.

Colin Atkinson Wanted His Son To Win
Arabesque was founded through the efforts of his late father, Colin Atkinson (portrayed by the late, great Tristan Rogers). The one-time scoundrel seemingly found the straight and narrow path toward the end of his life.

Even though Colin is believed to have swindled a fortune and an estate away from an elderly lady, he did it with the best of intentions

Colin likely meant her no harm, isn’t known to have created distress, and he used his acquired fortune to make Cane rich.

 

 

Cane couldn’t win after leaving town six years ago. But the freedom and flexibility Colin provided him with creates what would have otherwise been nearly no chance at restarting life with his cherished family.

Trust No One In Genoa City, Wisconsin
Victor never thought much of Billy. He believes Thompson’s character behaves like a boy, which is why he uses that child’s label with regularity.

Billy-boy wants to get Victor by using Cane. That’s a tall task, considering Cane has billions at his fingertips and is motivated by three enormous factors.

Cane wants to heal his rift with the twins and reconcile with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). He’s also following Colin’s plan, and it’s working to a certain extent. Cane is in GC, not France, and is getting through to Lily slowly.

Victor doesn’t trust Billy or Cane but knows that Flynn’s character is a major threat. Cane trusts no one beyond Lily, their children, and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton). Billy trusts his instincts, which don’t have a great track record.

Billy Abbott Defeats Two Titans?
Victor is the sage. Cane is newly rich. Both qualify as titans currently.

Billy genuinely believes he can use Cane’s AI tool to regain control of Chancellor, create Abbott Communications in some form, and beat Victor. That’s one of the major stretches in recent daytime history, but also one that would be an incredible victory if he pulls it all off.

Reconsider the above paragraph. Billy, yes, Billy, is going to bring Victor down and outmaneuver billionaire Cane by harnessing a new, untested technology.

Longtime fans won’t place their money on Billy. Victor is always an odds-on favorite in any business game, and whatever happens, Cane’s long-term win will probably be the restoration of his marriage and peace with the twins.
