I\u2019ll tell ya the truth. When\u00a0The Young and the Restless<\/em>\u00a0reintroduced Cane\u00a0with the hedge maze and without the Australian accent, I was kinda into it. I mean, obviously, the character\u2019s change in age and height made no sense whatsoever, but I was sure that the show had learned its lesson from the Tucker debacle and was bringing Cane back to really shake things up.<\/p>\n I shouldn\u2019t have been so sure. The show hadn\u2019t learned its lesson, and Cane hasn\u2019t shaken things up.<\/p>\n Just like Tucker always talked about his grand plans and never actually managed to accomplish [bleep], Cane is doing the same thing. And at this point, I have to ask in all sincerity a question about the character: Are we supposed to feel like he\u2019s not right in the head?<\/p>\n We\u2019ve gotta be building up to\u00a0some<\/em>\u00a0explanation for why nothing he does makes sense, right? He lied to Lily and his family for years while cosplaying Aristotle Dumas\u2026 to prove himself to his family and win them back? Huh? But he also wanted to take over every company in Genoa City\u2026 which there was never any threat of him doing; that\u2019s not a thing you can just walk in and, you know, do.<\/p>\n He hasn\u2019t even taken over Crimson Lights, for Pete\u2019s sake!<\/p>\n Cane also insisted when we first were reintroduced to him that he was sure someone was going to try to kill him. But no one did, and no one has. No one other than Phyllis, who\u2019s coming off as loony as in her psycho vixen days, may like Cane, but they don\u2019t hate him enough to unalive him.\u00a0<\/p>\n So what conclusion can we draw from all of this? Cane is unwell. He\u2019s gotta be, doesn\u2019t he? His actions, his ever-changing plans and motivations, smack of some sort of dissociation from reality, a delusional state. If we could just book him a visit to\u00a0<\/p>\n If nothing else, admitting that Cane has a few loose screws in need of tightening would explain his bizarre behavior. We might feel for him rather than feel aggravated by him. And it would set the stage for him to get better and become the dynamic character that the show needs.<\/p>\n At the hospital in L.A., Nick and Sharon prepare to face Noah after he gave them the boot last night. Entering the hall, they notice the guard is gone. When they enter his room, they are shocked to discover he is not there. A nurse is clearing up. She explains that Noah checked himself out and dismissed the guard. No one could stop him since he\u2019s an adult. The parents start to panic. They attempt to call their son and have no luck. Nick can guess where Noah has gone.<\/p>\n Noah lumbers into The Shadow Room, ignoring calls from his dad. It is empty, save for Mitch. \u201cWell, look who is back from the dead!\u201d he says, noting that Noah seems on edge. He assumes that\u2019s because his parents have told him he\u2019s creepy Matt Clark. Noah admits it\u2019s an extreme accusation. Mitch insists they are mistaken. He reminds Noah that he has been his champion and has gone out of his way to support him. So, why is he repaying his good turn by sleeping with his wife?<\/p>\n When Noah tries to cover and changes the subject to the club, Mitch cuts him off and declares that\u2019s over. He demands to know who initiated the affair and how long it has been going on. Mitch becomes more livid as he accuses him of trying to steal what\u2019s his. Noah repeats that his relationship with Sienna is strictly platonic. After Mitch says that he has failed to respect his boundaries, Noah heads for the door. Burrow stops him to question him about the crash. He insists they go to the crash scene.<\/p>\n Lily and Nate duck out of work after they hear that the peppermint hot chocolate is back at the Chancellor Park cafe. As they sip, he admits he\u2019s feeling glee about the poetic justice of Cane being burned by his own AI. He\u2019s surprised when she tells him how lost and vulnerable her ex seemed the last time she saw him. Nate senses she feels bad for him and wonders what that means. Lily says it\u2019s nice to know the good part of Cane might still exist. Her cousin can understand her wanting to believe that. He felt that way for Audra, but he doesn\u2019t think she can be the person he wants her to be, so he\u2019s moving on. Lily admits she\u2019s not sure she\u2019s moved on.<\/p>\n After Lily departs, Nate is about to head to the office when he bumps into Victoria. She\u2019s also ducked out for some hot chocolate and asks him to join her. They discuss her trip to LA and how relieved she is about Noah\u2019s recovery. She also told her daughter about her concerns regarding Holden. Claire seems to have figured some things out. Victoria still worries about what\u2019s next for her. She realizes she\u2019s keeping Nate from work, and he confesses he wanted to spend time with her. The Newman hopes he\u2019s moving on from Audra and suggests she distract him with dinner.<\/p>\n At Society, Cane looks into Phyllis\u2019s eyes and asks if she\u2019s trying to seduce him. They agree the heat between them is mutual. He admits he\u2019s flattered and intrigued. When she suggests they explore this, he reminds her he still loves Lily. Phyllis reminds him that his ex doesn\u2019t want to be with the person he is now and teases him, suggesting he write poetry. He knows he might be wasting his time, but he can\u2019t give up now. She knows it\u2019s hell to love someone without reciprocation.<\/p>\n Phyllis suggests he brought up Lily to defend himself against her seduction. She says they are alike and she\u2019s attracted to him, sexually and professionally. If he\u2019ll admit he feels the same, he\u2019ll be better off. She doesn\u2019t care about Lily and goes after what she wants. As she stands, she suggests he make a fresh start and kisses him.<\/p>\n Lily arrives as Phyllis pulls her lips away and exits. \u201cDo I even wanna know what the hell that was about?!\u201d she asks. Stuttering, he says Phyllis was just playing games, and he\u2019s working an angle with her. He is adamant that Dumas is over and he\u2019s still the man she fell in love with. She tells him that trust was broken and it\u2019s not fixed immediately. Lily can still see the man he was, but he\u2019s changed, and so has she. \u201cI\u2019ll just never be enough for you?\u201d he asks, accusing her of putting him down. They could have gotten back what they once had, but she obviously doesn\u2019t want that. It seems like she never loved him as much as he thought she did.<\/p>\n Cane heads straight to the Athletic Club, where he easily finds Phyllis at the bar. He announces that he is ready to cut all ties to the past and look to the future. \u201cWhat are you doing tonight?\u201d he asks.<\/p>\n Back in LA, Nick and Sharon arrive at The Shadow Room, but their son is gone. Mitch claims he has no idea where Noah is and hasn\u2019t seen him. Nick pointedly asks where Sienna is. They demand answers and Mitch declares it\u2019s not his problem. Nick threatens to force the information he needs out of him, so Mitch goads them about being helicopter parents and threatens to have them arrested. Nick threatens that he\u2019s a dead man if he did something to his son.<\/p>\n Next on\u00a0The Young and the Restless:<\/em>\u00a0Cane and Phyllis turn up the heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Credit: CBS screenshot (3), Howard Wise\/JPI (2) I\u2019ll tell ya the truth.
