Y&R SPOILERS SEPTEMBER 22: WILL TRACI ABBOTT’S HOMECOMING SHATTER HER HEART WHEN CANE’S SECRET EXPLODES?
TL;DR: On September 22’s Young and the Restless, Traci Abbott returns to Genoa City, hugs Jack and Diane, rushes to support grieving Amy Lewis, and discovers Cane Ashby is actually billionaire schemer Aristotle Dumas.
TRACI’S BACK—BUT HER HOMECOMING BECOMES A NIGHTMARE!
OMG, soap fans! Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) is FINALLY coming home to Genoa City, and the timing?
Absolutely devastating.
Just wait until you hear what’s waiting for her!
What Happens to Traci Abbott on September 22?
Traci Abbott returns to Genoa City and gets warm hugs from brother Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and sister-in-law Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) at the Abbott mansion.
But here’s where it gets MESSY. Traci rushes off to comfort her grieving friend Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford)—remember, Amy just lost Damian Kane back in July—and that’s when everything explodes! The beloved Abbott sister discovers that sweet, kind Cane Ashby is actually the mysterious billionaire Aristotle Dumas!
Talk about a gut punch!
Does Cane Really Care About Traci?
This is where it gets even MORE heartbreaking…
The spoiler reveals Traci is reflecting on how close she and Cane were after his divorce from Lily Winters. But wait—there’s more! Apparently Cane “once wanted more than friendship” with her!
WHAT?!
Remember back in 2019 when Traci had that crush on him? She even imagined him as the romantic hero in her novel! Well, turns out those feelings might not have been as one-sided as we thought. But now she has to wonder: was ANY of it real? Or was she just another pawn in the Dumas master plan?
Is Therapy Helping Traci Process This Betrayal?
Yes, Traci has been in therapy (good for her!), and it’s helping her understand that “none of it was her fault.”
But let’s be real here—knowing something intellectually and accepting it emotionally? Two COMPLETELY different things! The spoiler confirms that despite her therapy progress, Cane’s transformation into this ruthless revenge-obsessed billionaire is still “hard to accept.”
And why wouldn’t it be?
The man she knew was kind. Supportive. He showed her genuine care during a vulnerable time in her life. Now she’s discovering he’s been playing a Count of Monte Cristo-style long game, complete with a billion-dollar fortune built for revenge!
What’s Next for Traci and the Abbott Family?
Could this mean Traci becomes the voice of reason that finally gets through to her brother Billy Abbott?
Don’t be surprised if we get an emotionally charged confrontation between Traci and Cane where she demands to know if ANY of their connection was real. Given Traci’s history of being overlooked romantically (remember how she lost Brad Carlton to her sister Ashley?), this revelation that Cane might have wanted more hits RIGHT at her deepest insecurities.
This likely leads to Traci having to choose between exposing Cane’s full agenda or trying to save the man she once cared about from his own darkness. And with Billy neck-deep in an illegal AI plot with Cane/Dumas, Traci’s moral authority might be the ONLY thing that can save him from himself!
The Timing Couldn’t Be Worse!
Here’s the kicker: Traci’s return coincides EXACTLY with Sally Spectra exposing the Billy and Cane AI conspiracy!
So not only does Traci have to process her personal heartbreak over Cane’s deception, but she’s also walking into a full-blown Abbott family crisis. Her brother Billy has been working with this fraud, planning to use illegal software to destroy Victor Newman (Eric Braeden)!
One thing’s for certain: September sweeps are bringing the DRAMA, and Traci Abbott’s return is about to make everything infinitely more complicated. Can the heart of the Abbott family survive discovering she’s been deceived by someone she trusted?
Will she expose Cane’s full agenda or try to save him from the darkness that’s consumed him?
Stay tuned, soap fans. This is going to get MESSY!
