Young and the Restless: Billy Panics as Jack Seizes Chancellor From Him!

Young and the Restless puts Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) determined to take Chancellor away from Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). And now that Billy found those loan documents that seem to prove Chancellor belongs to the Abbotts, he’s already going power mad.

He’s already going insane already and just running amuck and Billy is acting like Chancellor belongs to him, to just him. And that’s not the case. It belongs to him, Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland). And Billy might soon get a painful reminder of that fact.

Young and the Restless: Billy’s Dead Set on Chancellor

So, right now, Billy’s adamant that Chancellor belongs to him, and he already put Lily and Cane on notice. And Lily was furious to hear Billy’s claims, told him he’s fired and give back the files he took. But he clapped back at Lily and said, “You can’t fire me, but she’s already declaring war on Billy and vice versa.”

And of course, Cane’s angry, too. And he warned Billy that he’s going to have to go through him if he tries to hurt Lily by taking her company away from her. This week, Cane tries to get Jack on board to help reign Billy back in, but Jack tells Cane he doesn’t want anything to do with this mess. Who can blame him?

Jack wants to stay out of it, even though he wishes Billy would just leave it alone. The only thing Jack really cares about is protecting his father, John Abbott’s (Jerry Douglas), legacy and his reputation. And Jack warns Cane this week that in the middle of all this mess, if John’s legacy is tarnished by him, then Cane is going to have to answer to Jack.

Billy Lashes Out on Y&R

Meanwhile, Billy barged into the Jabot office, and he found Cane there with Jack and Billy made it clear that he won’t stop and he wants Chancellor. And then when Jack asks him, “Why do you want it?” Billy stormed out mad. And then he ran into Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and tried to lure him away from being loyal to his sister Lily, which is crazy.

Basically, Billy’s running amuck. He’s already power mad before Chancellor’s even been handed over, before he even has the keys to the kingdom. And this is also before Lily can have her day in court to challenge this takeover of Billy’s that is nothing short of hostile. The issue is that his siblings, Ashley, Jack, and Traci, know he’s like a dog with a bone with this.

He used to be a gambling addict, and at this point, I think Billy’s just addicted to chaos and troublemaking. So, Ashley’s take on it is just let Billy have it. It’ll be easier. And Traci doesn’t want Billy to hurt people, but Traci also knows if they intervene, then Billy will just wind up really mad at them.

Lily Turns to Jack on Young and Restless

So, by the end of the week, Lily’s in Jack’s office trying to get him to help her. And between now and then, if Billy’s run all over Genoa City acting like a maniac, Jack and his sisters may realize they have no choice but to intervene. Because if Billy doesn’t stop, he will blow his life apart. This week, spoilers say Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is not happy about Billy making another grab for Chancellor.

So, Jack may decide that even if Billy gets angry at them in the short run, losing Chancellor may be what is best for Billy in the long run. But can you imagine the Abbott family civil war that would come? Even if those loan documents are legit, that doesn’t mean Billy himself gets Chancellor. All the children of John Abbott have an equal share.

So, Jack, Traci, and Ashley can take Billy out of the equation. You know, Jack can accept a buyback offer from Lily where she pays off the loan and the interest. And if three of the four Abbott heirs sign off on it, everybody but Billy, well, that’s a done deal. And then Lily can keep the company. That’s honestly best for everybody because Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is already making a play against Billy this week, which means Victor could also target Sally in double payback against Billy and that would be really bad.

Young and the Restless: The Abbotts Run Chancellor

Now, another option is that the Abbotts could keep Chancellor and run it and just pay Billy his one quarter share of the profits. But honestly, I don’t see it going that way. They’ve got Jabot. I don’t know why they would want Chancellor. I suspect it’s more likely to be a deal with Lily and Cane to satisfy the debt that Philip Chancellor owed to John Abbott. So, no matter how it plays out, selling Chancellor to Lily or keeping it.

But Billy’s blocked out of it on Young and the Restless. Can you imagine how insane he’d go if Jack foiled his Chancellor dream and with his sisters voting to do it as well? I’m guessing that his mom, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), will side with the other Abbotts and will not want Billy to have it because it’s nothing short of an obsession with him. And as Jack pointed out, Billy should be focused on Sally and the baby. And Billy crushing Lily and Cane and incurring Victor’s wrath could really hurt his relationship with Sally. It would be better for Billy if he just forgot about Chancellor. But of course, he won’t.

Young and Restless: Billy May Leave his Siblings with No Choice

So, if it goes down like this and Jack, Traci, and Ashley feel like they have to turn on Billy even with the best of intentions, he would lose his ever loving mind. I think it’s possible because this Chancellor obsession is not healthy. It’s out of control. It has been for a while. And it could ruin the new life that Billy has built with Sally and ruin the future of the new baby they have on the way.

Billy Could Lose Sally on Y&R

And if Billy can’t stop, if he can’t let it go, I could see Sally reaching her breaking point and just walking out on Billy and that or something to do with her threatening to walk out could be the deciding factor that has Jack, Ashley, and Traci deciding they have to do something.

So, they might take Chancellor out of Billy’s hands specifically to keep him from losing Sally and from losing a chance to raise this baby and to lose what might legit be Billy’s last chance at happiness in this life.

As Jack said, if Victor still owned Chancellor, he really wouldn’t care so much about Billy taking it. But because he’s hurting Lily and others, it’s not okay. And in the end, he’s hurting himself. And Billy’s also going to keep on with accusations about Jill.

Young and Restless: Abbott Family Intervention and Billy’s Unraveling

And I mean, heck, Billy might be the one to damage John’s legacy with all of this. By the end of the week, it looks like Newman Media is doing some smear campaign type stuff against Billy. So, Victor might even drag John Abbott’s name into that, saying he would be ashamed of Billy. He’s betraying the family legacy.

And that could help push Jack and his sisters into thinking, “Okay, we got to shut this down. Even though Billy’s going to be mad at us, I do suspect Chancellor is going to wind up back in Lily’s hands.” Billy may wind up never forgiving his siblings if they’re the ones who make it happen.

And of course, if Victor’s involved, Billy may accuse Jack of conspiring with his worst enemy against him. I do think Lily appealing to him might start to get through to Jack. And all of his concerns about Sally are really valid.

Billy Loses Chancellor on Young and the Restless

But then in the end, I think what it might come down to is the other Abbotts, Jack in particular, just deciding we have to do what’s best for Billy because he’s not doing what’s best for himself. Remember, not that long ago, Billy told Kyle that before he was born, Jack was like a father figure to him because of their age difference, and Billy even resented Kyle a little for kind of taking his dad, Jack, from him. All of that is true.

It feels like Jack has been parenting Billy for all of his adult life and obviously his young life as well. So, Jack may step up and do the hard thing, do the right thing, even if it means Billy’s ticked off at him. No matter how it happens, if he’s this close to getting Chancellor and then loses it, Billy is going to explode. I’m sure he’ll blow up his life because Sally doesn’t like this Chancellor stuff. And if she’s not 100 percent in agreement with Billy, he’ll probably get mad at her and he may turn on her, may turn on Jack, and we could see Billy the lone wolf completely losing his mind and going over the edge.
