Younger and of the Stressed places Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) probably able to assist Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) save his firm, Arabesque, from the AI that’s destroying it. However in fact, with Phyllis, nothing comes free of charge.
We’re going to dive into what worth she would possibly demand from Cane if she saves Arabesque from spoil.
Younger and the Stressed: Cane on the Warpath
So, what we’ve acquired proper now’s Cane is tremendous livid with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) for unleashing his personal AI program on Cane’s firm. So now, in fact, he’s determined to save lots of Arabesque from Victor, however Cane’s tech guys say they will’t work out activate the kill change and shut the AI down. We noticed Phyllis was not too long ago telling Cane that it’s not too late to save lots of the corporate.
And Phyllis was saying “we,” like she’s nonetheless on this with him, like they’re nonetheless cohorts, you recognize. However Cane thinks possibly that is all karma and he deserves it for even creating the AI and all the opposite issues he’s accomplished. However Phyllis disagrees. Plus, if Cane offers up on Arabesque, Phyllis is out of a job, or she’s appearing that method as a result of she requested Victor to offer her Jabot. So realistically, Phyllis doesn’t want a job from Cane.
Phyllis and Victor’s Shaky Alliance Uncovered on Y&R
Phyllis remains to be pretending to be an ally of Cane’s. She is mendacity about taking that AI and she or he’s clearly nonetheless actually scorching for him. So after operating into Cane this week, we noticed Phyllis go and confront Victor and mentioned that him attacking Cane’s firm with the AI was not their deal. However Victor doesn’t care. He sort of taunts Phyllis and says they don’t seem to be companions and he can do what he desires.
Victor additionally mentioned that their solely settlement was that Phyllis would get Jabot after he took it from Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). And Victor insists that he nonetheless plans to honor that. However he additionally desires to know why the heck does Phyllis even care that he’s attacking Cane’s firm. And Victor reminds Phyllis, writes her that actuality verify, you recognize, that she’s the one who royally screwed Cane over by stealing the AI from him.
So, Victor’s asking Phyllis, “Why do you even care about what I’m doing to Cane?” Victor additionally tells Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) this week what he’s doing to Cane. And he or she doesn’t care. She thinks it’s nice. She’s in all probability not going to love it when he desires to purpose it at Jabot, however for now at Cane, she’s high-quality with it.
Unraveling Phyllis’s True Motives and Dangerous Betrayal
So, Phyllis stole the AI, I feel, as a result of she was actually aggravated that Cane wouldn’t use it like he mentioned he would to assault Newman Enterprises. I don’t assume she cared if he attacked the opposite firms on the town. She simply needed Newman and Chancellor by extension to go down. In the event you bear in mind, Phyllis instructed Cane she needed to take over Newman and she or he needed Victor to be working for her, to be answering for her. So Phyllis’s complete factor was about punishing Victor. Not about Jack, not about Jabot, you recognize.
So both it’s sloppy writing on Younger and the Stressed or she had this lengthy con deliberate out, you recognize. Proper now what it appears like is that Phyllis did considered one of her loopy impulsive issues, acquired PO’d and stole the AI, after which she handed it to Victor considering she may belief him, which is insane to ever assume that. And I don’t assume Phyllis ever needed Victor to focus on Cane with it. Phyllis was counting on Victor’s hatred of Jack to have him assault Jabot, which once more doesn’t make a number of sense.
It’s dumb as a result of Summer time Newman (Allison Lanier) can be livid with Phyllis since her firm Marchetti is a part of Jabot and Summer time cares in regards to the Abbotts. And I’m positive Victor wouldn’t let Marchetti be destroyed or taken from Summer time. Nonetheless although, she’d nonetheless be livid at Phyllis for betraying the Abbotts and serving to Victor.
Phyllis’s Grasp Plan on Younger and the Stressed: Saving Arabesque to Win Over Cane
So, ultimately, I feel Phyllis might understand she must cease the AI earlier than this goes any additional. And he or she might imagine that she will be able to nonetheless get what she desires, which at this level is Cane. As a result of actually, it’s not that Phyllis desires Cane to lose his firm. I don’t assume Phyllis does. I feel she desires to run the corporate with Cane.
And I feel Phyllis not solely desires to be at his facet in enterprise, but additionally I feel she desires to be sleeping on a pillow subsequent to Cane and to be romantically and intimately concerned with him as properly. She’s fixated and she or he has been even earlier than she knew it was him. Even again with the Dumas stuff, she already had it in her head.
Younger and the Stressed: Phyllis is the Key to Saving Arabesque
So as a result of Phyllis began all this, I do assume she will be able to repair it and finish it. I think that she may need been enjoying Victor from the beginning and possibly has at all times had entry to the kill change. Phyllis knew about that. She additionally knew in regards to the capacity to remotely management the AI, which Cane instructed her he was planning on doing when he was going to have Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) utilizing it as an alternative of him.
In the long run, I think Phyllis didn’t give Victor full management of the AI. I feel she handed it over to see what was going to occur and I feel she will be able to entry it by a again door or can activate the kill change. Cane’s IT staff is having a tough time however Phyllis is, you recognize, the mastermind behind all this.
She’s an excellent hacker. She was intelligent sufficient to steal Cane’s AI. And I additionally assume Phyllis is intelligent sufficient to close it down, to have left herself some sort of emergency exit, a option to pull the plug as a result of she is aware of higher than anybody, Victor can’t be trusted.
The Final Worth: Will Phyllis Blackmail Her Means into Cane’s Life?
Nevertheless, I feel Phyllis will dangle the provide to cease this and save Arabesque to Cane, but it surely’s going to return with a worth. And I feel it is perhaps a reasonably excessive worth that Phyllis calls for of Cane. You already know, he’s been dancing round with Phyllis for some time, flirting and teasing, nearly kissing, however on the finish of the day, Cane’s nonetheless hung up on Lily Winters (Christel Khalil).
His ex-wife instructed Cane they’re by no means getting again collectively. And we all know Christel Khalil is leaving quickly on maternity depart. So, Lily will exit Genoa Metropolis. So, Phyllis might inform Cane she’ll save his firm, however in change, Phyllis will get Cane. And let’s be actual, Phyllis is just not above blackmailing her method into Cane’s mattress.
Phyllis is Ruthless on Younger and the Stressed
As a result of bear in mind, Phyllis drugged males earlier than to get her method. That’s what she did to Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) method again within the day after which satisfied him she was pregnant along with his youngster. When she wanted a DNA pattern from the actual bio-dad to idiot Danny, she drugged that man, drugged her precise child daddy and took a pattern.
So, Phyllis doesn’t have actually any scruples with regards to getting what she desires, the person she desires, the top aim, no matter. So yeah, she would possibly leverage Cane into being along with her if she saves him from chapter, which is insane as a result of Phyllis has brought on all of this.
Cane’s Dilemma: His Firm vs. His Relationship with Lily
And if Cane offers into Phyllis, he’s going to alienate Lily, put the ultimate nail within the coffin with them. If Cane sleeps with Phyllis, I don’t assume Lily would ever take a look at him the identical once more. And even when Cane tells Lily Phyllis blackmailed him, I don’t assume Lily could be sympathetic.
She could assume Cane is prostituting himself to maintain the corporate that he constructed off funds his dad Colin constructed from a dying previous woman. So, later this week, spoilers say Lily catches Phyllis and Cane in a compromising place. So, this is perhaps when Phyllis gives Cane her deal and possibly Phyllis calls for a down cost. She desires a kiss from Cane, you recognize, desires that first installment to verify he’s going to comply with by earlier than she stops the AI.
So Arabesque could also be saved, however then Phyllis might find yourself proudly owning Cane and Lily walks away in disgust. I suppose we’ll discover out what’s actually necessary to Cane this week and whether or not he’s keen to commerce his physique for his firm if that’s the worth that Phyllis calls for.
