The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates prompt us to consider: Is it finally time for Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to face defeat?

Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) new strategy might significantly alter the course of the story, depending on how things unfold from this point onward.

The CBS Soap Has An Abundance Of Business Stories Where Victor Wins

The Young and The Restless certainly delivers plenty of business stories, so Victor and Newman Enterprises are often involved, as a matter of fact, nearly always.

Those stories tend to be rather dull since the outcome is always the same: Victor wins all over again, and no one else ever has a chance.

There’s no real excitement if Victor emerges victorious every time; we get that Victor is a powerful guy, but he could stand to lose occasionally.

Even if just to shake things up and give The Moustache a reason to strike back even harder-Victor’s new alliance with Jack presents an interesting opportunity.

Nikki Will Voice Her Concerns About Victor Using The Truce To Hurt Jack

In the episode airing on September 29, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will express her worries about the chance of Victor manipulating Jack’s olive branch to harm him.

However, the real twist might occur if the situation is reversed! What if Jack finds a way to leverage this partnership to target Victor?

Jack understands that this alliance is merely a temporary arrangement, so he must be ready for Victor to turn into a genuine adversary once more.

This ceasefire is unlikely to endure, so Jack will remain aware of that – even while they collaborate against Cane.

Both Victor and Jack will be optimistic that by involving Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), she can sway Cane and guide him towards a less malevolent direction.

Might Jill Convince Cane To Join Forces With Jack, And Victor Suffers Defeat?

This could put Cane at risk of whatever bad news Jack and Victor are planning to unleash on him next. The scheme might succeed to some extent, but Jill still carries the last name “Abbott” and has an unbreakable bond to the family through her son, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson).

In other words, Jill could ultimately find herself siding with “Team Abbott” and persuade Cane to ally with Jack.

This could be Jack’s opportunity to catch Victor off guard with a new partnership and throw his oldest rival into disarray.

Jack might undermine any sinister plot The Moustache could initiate for Cane and turn it against Victor instead-a defeat for Victor would be a significant shift – even if it’s only temporary!
