This week’s messiest move goes to Billy on The Young and the Restless. He defied Jack and Silly in one false swoop. Billy is inching toward Cane’s scheme, which is causing him to destroy ties with the two most important people in his life.
Billy Chooses The Enemy Over His Friends
Forget about Victor (Eric Braeden). Cane (Billy Flynn) is Public Enemy Number One right now. Working with him is reckless and stupid. But Billy (Jason Thompson) didn’t blink twice at his offer.
Cane unveiled his AI plan in front of Billy and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) faces. Sally was furious at him for destroying their launch party, which they had worked on for months. Meanwhile, Billy was intrigued by Cane’s scheme. He wanted the immediate details.
Sally warned Billy that she would leave if he joined him. (Why Billy and Sally are doomed on Y&R.) Meanwhile, Jack (Peter Bergman) threatened to defund Billy’s venture. Jack was fed up with Billy’s reckless choices. Meanwhile, Sally believes that Billy deserves better than to do something illegal and immoral.
Why It’s Messy
Billy considered everything he could lose, including Sally’s support and Jack’s trust. His company could lose credibility. However, his desire for revenge was much stronger than his integrity. He’s been obsessed with taking Victor down forever and a day.
Billy tried to take him down in the past, but it never worked. No one could ever defeat the patriarch. But Billy can’t help but wonder if Cane’s dirty scheme could work. (Can AI outwit Victor Newman on Y&R?)
Once again, Billy Boy is making a reckless decision that could cost him everything. He’s not just cutting ties with the people in his life. He’s also risking it all for a shot at revenge. He has so much at stake, both ethically and financially. He could lose money and his reputation.
But Billy is a gambling addict at heart. He never outweighs the risks. He only sees opportunities. And this opportunity with Cane could explode in everyone’s faces, causing Billy to spiral even more. And no one will be there for him when he crashes and burns.
