The Powerful and the Lonely

Cane (Billy Flynn) wants someone or something to help him look better than everyone else in Genoa City. (Is Cane really worse than Jack or Victor on Y&R?)

Phyllis (Michelle Stafford—who shared her Daytime Emmy tradition) was shocked that he wanted her help with his reputation. She wanted to know why he was getting so desperate.

Cane believed that she was the best person for the job. But she’s confused about his intentions. Cane wanted to take over Genoa City and then the world. Then, he abandoned those plans for his family.

Now, he wants to prove that he’s squeaky clean. Cane’s head is all over the place. It’s hard to understand what he wants. But Cane insisted that he needed Phyllis’s help.

Is Cane Getting Too Desperate?

Desperation is not a good look, not even for Cane Ashby. He’s not thinking clearly now that he’s realized that his life isn’t all that it’s cracked out to be.

He’s partnering up with the bad girl in town, which could blow up his reconciliation plans. During Monday’s show, the apparent chemistry between them smoldered.

Cane assured Phyllis that he needed her. But what does she get out of it? Phyllis told Cane that she wanted her hands on the A.I. software.

But Cane refused to give Phyllis what she wanted. So, she used her seductive charm on him. Phyllis got so close to Cane that he couldn’t think straight.

They were this close to kissing. Partnering up with Phyllis could be risky for Cane. She’s a loner just like him. However, she assured Cane that she would save him from being an outcast.

What Does Cane Ultimately Want?

The sexual attention got them close. But they were able to control themselves and pull away. But that might not be the case the next time around.

After Phyllis left, Cane immediately called Lily (Christel Khalil) and left a voicemail asking her to call him back. But what if she doesn’t respond to his calls?

Will Cane and Phyllis have a secret rendezvous? Phyllis doesn’t like keeping their little secret to themselves. However, we could see this situation unfolding behind closed doors. (Are Cane and Phyllis Y&R’s next power couple?)
