‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Phyllis Can’t Shake Steely Jack – Newman War Plan Evolves

Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) still loves Jack (Peter Bergman) on ‘The Young and the Restless’. She’s also continuing to make herself look bad in Genoa City. However, the effect of Phyllis’ ongoing actions keeps her within her husband’s proximity.

Using recently resurrected computer skills within Jabot, ‘Red’ enabled remote access via Jack’s laptop. Phyllis’ earlier snooping appeared to confirm a comment she recently overheard her husband mention. He wants to cut off the head of Newman Enterprises.

It’s seemed suspicious from the beginning, which was a handful of weeks ago, that Jack would allow Phyllis to remain at Jabot. Why not fight her on the divorce condition she proposed? That isn’t something a riled man would do. But, his feelings for the ‘Moustache’ are legendary and in this instance, Jack is blaming Victor (Eric Braeden) for the end of his marriage.

Billy’s (Jason Thompson) betrayal cut as deeply as his wife’s knife to the heart. Jack then responded with an oddly controlled rage. He forced his wife out of the Abbott mansion, but agreed to allow her to retain a position at Jabot. The conditions of this compromise put Phyllis in a windowless storage closet where she was assigned grunt work. But, then something changed.

Jack met clandestinely in Chancellor Park to exchange black leather briefcases with a stranger whose face wasn’t fully shown. Then, after returning to the office he asked Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and Phyllis to work together on a major new marketing project. Ordering his expected ex-wife to collaborate with his sister on an important project is questionable.

The now ‘Steely’, no longer ‘Smilin’, Jack surely has at least one thing up his tailored sleeve. It’s understandable that he’s protecting himself right now. He was publicly humiliated and came to realize that the strategy he’d been using for the last year, which was to let life roll off his back, hadn’t worked. While Phyllis may never regain his trust, she appears to be of some purposeful use. So, viewers are wise to keep their eyes on Jack and watch his next series of moves.
