How Cane Will Outsmart Phyllis and Victor on The Young and the Restless. He’s been hiding one explosive secret since the moment he arrived in Genoa City…

In Genoa City right now, everyone is plotting against everyone.

Victor is plotting.
Phyllis is plotting.
Jack is furious and ready to strike.
And Cane? Cane is playing a much longer game than anyone realizes.

Victor Newman, of course, believes he’s the smartest man in every room — so confident he doesn’t even see danger coming. Jack Abbott is fueled by rage and revenge. Phyllis Summers has suddenly become the most sought-after ally in town, with everyone lining up to make a deal with her.

But while they’re all fighting over the same weapon… Cane is holding the only advantage that actually matters.

And when he finally uses it, everything will change.

Phyllis “Steals” the Unstealable

Let’s talk about the so-called theft.

Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), the self-proclaimed world’s greatest hacker, somehow “stole” Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) ultra-powerful, super-secret AI program — as if it were a VCR she grabbed from his living room and stuffed into her purse.

Yes. The entire program.
No copies.
No backups.
Just… gone.

Ridiculous? Absolutely. But that’s the story we’re supposed to believe.

 A Gift for Victor — And a Fatal Mistake

Even more shocking? Phyllis didn’t duplicate the program before handing it over to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). The same Phyllis who lives and breathes digital warfare… handed over the only copy.

Now Victor has it.
Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) wants it destroyed.
And everyone is acting like this AI is a one-of-a-kind artifact that can never exist again.

But here’s the problem with that logic…

 The One Thing No One Is Talking About

Cane didn’t just find this program lying around.

Either:

• He built it himself
  or

• He paid someone else to build it for him

And if it was built once… it can be built again.

That’s the secret Cane has been sitting on since the day he arrived in Genoa City.

Developers keep copies. Engineers keep source files. And even if they didn’t? They can rebuild it. Faster. Smarter. Stronger.

So what’s stopping Cane from quietly going back to the original creators — or hiring an even better team — and recreating the very weapon Victor thinks he stole?

Nothing.

 Cane’s Endgame: Newman Enterprises

While Victor, Phyllis, and Jack tear each other apart fighting over the same stolen tech, Cane can strike from the shadows. A rebuilt AI. A cleaner version. One Victor doesn’t see coming.

And this time, Cane won’t lose it.

He’ll use it to do exactly what Victor did to him — only better.

 So Why Hasn’t He Moved Yet?

That’s the real question.

Phyllis should know better.
Victor should be worried.
Jack should be panicking.

But Cane? Cane is waiting.

Because when he finally makes his move, Victor won’t just lose the game — he won’t even realize he was playing until it’s already over.

And in Genoa City, that’s the most dangerous position of all.
