VICTOR NEWMAN JUST OBLITERATED CANE ASHBY’S COMPANY WITH STOLEN AI AND JACK ABBOTT IS NEXT ON THE HIT LIST—THIS IS GOING TO BE BRUTAL ON YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
TL;DR: Victor Newman used Cane Ashby’s stolen AI to completely destroy Arabesque in a matter of days on Young and the Restless, and now he’s sharpening his knives for Jabot! Victor told Adam Newman he needs him to create a massive “distraction” so Jack Abbott won’t see the attack coming. This AI is unstoppable, and we’re predicting it will devastate Jabot so completely that Jack will be forced to either sell the company to Victor for pennies or watch the Abbott family legacy crumble into bankruptcy. This is the ultimate Newman versus Abbott war, and Victor is playing for KEEPS!
Victor Newman Just Showed Us How Terrifying This AI Really Is
Monday’s episode of Y&R gave us a front-row seat to Victor Newman’s ruthlessness when he unleashed Cane’s stolen AI on Arabesque! Cane’s entire empire is crumbling in REAL TIME! His tech team is frantically trying to activate the kill switch, but they can’t access it fast enough! The AI is moving through his systems like wildfire, and there’s NOTHING Cane can do to stop it!
If this program can obliterate a massive company like Arabesque in mere days, imagine what it’s going to do to Jabot! Victor specifically told Adam that destroying Cane’s business was satisfying, but going after Jack Abbott will be EVEN MORE satisfying! Victor has been nursing this grudge against Jack for DECADES, and now he finally has the perfect weapon!
The truly terrifying part? Phyllis warned Billy that once the AI is in your system, it CANNOT be stopped! But Billy smugly brushed her off and claimed they already have protection against the attack! WRONG, Billy! So incredibly wrong! Cane BUILT this program and even he can’t stop it once it’s unleashed! The failsafes only work if you physically possess the software, and guess who has it? VICTOR!
Y&R fans, this is going to be CATASTROPHIC! Do you think Jack will survive Victor’s attack? Will Adam betray his father to save Jack? And will Jabot even exist after this? Email your wildest predictions to [email protected]!
Victor Wants Adam To Distract Jack While The Attack Happens
Here’s where Victor’s plan gets truly DIABOLICAL! Victor specifically told Adam he needs him to create an “enormous distraction” that will keep Jack completely occupied while Victor launches the AI! That means Jack won’t have any warning! He won’t have time to protect Jabot’s assets or implement emergency protocols! By the time Jack realizes what’s happening, it will be TOO LATE!
What kind of distraction could be big enough to completely consume Jack’s attention? Maybe Adam manufactures a crisis at another company that requires Jack’s immediate intervention! Maybe he starts spreading rumors about Billy that force Jack into damage control mode! Maybe he creates some personal emergency that pulls Jack away from the office at the critical moment! Whatever Victor has planned, it needs to be significant enough that Jack won’t notice his company being systematically destroyed!
And here’s the absolutely BRUTAL part of all this: Adam is deeply conflicted about betraying Jack! Adam told Chelsea that Jack was like a FATHER to him! Jack believed in Adam when literally nobody else did! Jack helped Adam through his darkest times and never gave up on him! But Victor is demanding Adam choose between his loyalty to Jack and his loyalty to the Newman family, and that choice is tearing Adam APART!
Chelsea even suggested Adam could refuse to help Victor, but Adam knows that’s not realistic! If he disobeys Victor, he gets “banished from the kingdom” immediately! Adam has spent YEARS trying to prove himself worthy of being a Newman and earning his father’s respect! Is he really willing to throw all of that away to protect Jack? Or will he help destroy the man who treated him better than his own father ever did?
This AI Attack Is Going To Absolutely DEMOLISH Jabot
Based on everything we’ve witnessed happening to Arabesque, Victor’s AI assault on Jabot is going to be absolutely DEVASTATING on every possible level! The program will infiltrate Jabot’s financial systems and start draining bank accounts faster than you can say “bankruptcy!” It’ll redirect payments to fake vendors, cancel every profitable contract Jabot has, and create phantom debts that don’t actually exist! Jabot’s entire financial foundation will disappear OVERNIGHT, and the company won’t have the resources to pay employees, maintain operations, or even keep the lights on!
But the financial destruction is just the BEGINNING of Jabot’s nightmare! This AI will steal every single proprietary cosmetics formula that Jabot has spent decades developing and perfecting! Those formulas represent Jabot’s competitive advantage in the beauty industry, and they’ll either be destroyed completely or sold to rival companies! Everything that made Jabot special and successful will suddenly be available to competitors, and Jabot will have NOTHING unique left to offer!
Then there’s the reputation destruction, which might actually be the most damaging aspect of Victor’s attack! The AI will hack Jabot’s social media accounts and start posting scandalous content! It’ll send fake emails from executive accounts that damage business relationships! It’ll manufacture controversies and scandals that destroy customer trust! Investors will panic and pull their money! The Jabot brand that the Abbott family spent generations building will be RUINED in a matter of days!
And don’t forget about the legal chaos this AI can create! Imagine waking up to discover that fake legal documents have been filed in your company’s name, fraudulent lawsuits are being initiated against business partners, and regulatory agencies are launching investigations based on falsified reports! Jabot will be buried under so much legal trouble that even if they somehow survive the financial and reputational damage, they’ll spend every remaining resource just trying to defend themselves in court!
Billy thinks he’s so smart because he claims they have “tools” to protect against the AI, but that’s ADORABLE in the most tragic way possible! Cane Ashby is a certified GENIUS who created this program, and even HE can’t stop it once it’s loose in his systems! What makes Billy think he can outsmart Cane’s creation?! This is like bringing a knife to a nuclear war!
Jack Abbott Is Going To Lose EVERYTHING He’s Ever Worked For
Here’s our devastating prediction: Victor’s AI attack will be so catastrophically successful that Jack will face an impossible choice between two equally horrible options! He can either sell Jabot to Victor Newman for an insultingly low price and salvage SOMETHING from the wreckage, or he can refuse to sell and watch helplessly as the Abbott family legacy disintegrates into bankruptcy!
Think about what Jabot represents to Jack Abbott! This isn’t just some company he works for—it’s his FAMILY’S SOUL! His father John Abbott built Jabot from nothing and turned it into a powerhouse! Jack has dedicated his entire adult life to protecting and growing his father’s legacy! The company represents everything the Abbott family stands for, everything they’ve achieved, and everything they’ve sacrificed!
But if Victor’s AI successfully destroys Jabot’s finances, steals all its formulas, and obliterates its reputation, the company will be completely WORTHLESS on the open market! No legitimate buyer will want to touch it! The only person who would even consider purchasing Jabot in that condition is VICTOR—and Victor doesn’t care about Jabot’s actual value! He just wants to OWN the thing Jack loves most so he can twist the knife!
Victor told Adam it will be “satisfying” to watch Jack Abbott suffer the same fate as Cane Ashby! That tells us EXACTLY what Victor wants from this attack! He wants Jack to come crawling to the Newman ranch, broken and desperate, BEGGING Victor to buy Jabot! Victor wants the ultimate humiliation of forcing Jack to surrender the Abbott family legacy with his own hands!
And here’s the truly EVIL genius of Victor’s plan: He’ll probably offer to buy Jabot for a ridiculously low amount, and then he’ll SHUT IT DOWN! Victor doesn’t actually want to run a cosmetics company—he wants to ERASE the Abbott legacy from Genoa City! He’ll buy Jabot purely for the satisfaction of dismantling it piece by piece until nothing remains of John Abbott’s dream!
The Abbott Family Is Going To Tear Itself Apart
When Jabot collapses under Victor’s assault, the damage won’t stop with Jack—it’s going to DESTROY the entire Abbott family from the inside out! Diane has been living in constant anxiety waiting for Victor’s attack, knowing it’s inevitable but not knowing when or how it will come! When Jabot finally falls, she’ll have to watch her husband lose everything he’s spent his life building, and their marriage will be tested like never before!
Kyle is already drowning in his Claire and Holden drama, and now he’s going to watch his family’s company crumble in real time! Kyle WORKS at Jabot! If the company goes under, Kyle doesn’t just lose his job—he loses his entire professional identity and his connection to the family legacy! How is Kyle supposed to process losing both his romantic relationship AND his family’s business simultaneously?!
Billy is over at Abbott Communications feeling smug and secure because he thinks he’s protected from Victor’s schemes, but Victor could EASILY turn this AI on Billy’s new company too! Billy’s arrogant confidence that they have adequate protection will evaporate the moment he realizes Victor can destroy him just as effortlessly as he destroyed Cane! Billy and Jack might actually have to work TOGETHER to survive, which would be its own kind of disaster!
And if Ashley returns to Genoa City during all of this chaos, she’s going to be absolutely DEVASTATED that the company her beloved father built no longer exists! The Abbott siblings will probably turn on each other in their grief and anger, with everyone blaming everyone else for failing to protect the family business! Jack will blame Billy for being reckless! Billy will blame Jack for not taking the threat seriously enough! The family infighting will be BRUTAL!
This AI attack won’t just bankrupt a company—it’s going to shatter the Abbott family’s unity and leave them broken and scattered!
Adam Newman Has To Make An Impossible Choice
The most heartbreaking subplot in this entire disaster is watching Adam struggle with what Victor is asking him to do! Adam told Chelsea that Jack Abbott has been more than just a friend—Jack was a FATHER FIGURE who believed in Adam when nobody else would! Jack supported Adam through impossible situations and never gave up on him even when Adam gave up on himself! Jack represents everything a father SHOULD be—supportive, forgiving, and genuinely invested in Adam’s wellbeing!
But now Victor is demanding that Adam help destroy this man who treated him with more kindness and respect than Victor ever has! Chelsea tried to tell Adam he could refuse to participate in Victor’s scheme, but Adam knows the reality of defying his father! If Adam says no to Victor, he’ll be immediately exiled from the Newman family AGAIN! Adam has spent YEARS fighting to earn his place at Victor’s side and prove he deserves to be a Newman! Is he really willing to sacrifice all of that progress to protect Jack?!
We’re predicting Adam will try to play both sides in this war! He’ll probably attempt to warn Jack about Victor’s plans without Victor discovering the betrayal! Maybe he’ll send an anonymous tip to Diane! Maybe he’ll deliberately sabotage the “distraction” Victor wants him to create so it’s not as effective as planned! But ultimately, Adam is going to be FORCED to choose between doing the right thing and maintaining his position in the Newman family!
And knowing Adam’s history of making terrible decisions under pressure, he’ll probably choose WRONG and then spend months drowning in guilt and regret! Adam might help Victor destroy Jack, then immediately realize he’s become exactly the kind of person Jack always believed he could rise above! The emotional fallout from Adam’s choice could define his character for years!
What do you think happens when Victor unleashes this AI on Jabot? Will Jack survive? Will Adam betray his father to save Jack? And can the Abbott family recover from losing their legacy? Drop all your wildest theories in the comments!
