The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) true revenge goal just might be to use Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) to destroy Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) marriage.

Y&R fans learned during the week of March 2-6 that Victor had kidnapped Jack as a bargaining chip.

He issued Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) a threat: either hand back Chancellor Industries or he’ll never see Jack again!

At the end of the Thursday, March 5 episode, fans learned that Jack was being held captive on a yacht in the middle of a body of water (whether that be an ocean or sea).

Even if Jack wanted to escape, he’d really have nowhere to go.

Jack was reeling during the Friday, March 6 show, and deduced that Victor was behind all this, and he was using him to get to Billy and Chancellor.

Jack had hoped that Billy wouldn’t comply with Victor’s demands, but thanks to pressure from Diane Abbott (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), it looks like his younger brother will.

Regardless, another interesting development that was exposed on the March 6 episode is that Patty is also on the boat.

She sauntered into Jack’s room, all dolled up, and seemingly still very obsessed with her ex.

As fans know, Patty has had an unhealthy love for Jack for decades now.

She’s gone to extreme lengths to get close to him in the past, and also once partnered up with Victor to cause chaos in Jack’s life.

As it seems, history is repeating itself. With that said, while Victor is diabolical, it even seems way out of his character for him to physically harm or off Jack, so what’s The Moustache’s angle?

Could it be that Victor’s two goals with this mission are to get Chancellor back, while also stirring the pot in Jack’s marriage?

During the weekly preview video, a clip shows that Billy, Kyle, and Diane will get a lead on where Jack is.

In addition, a scene reveals that Patty will agree to help Jack escape, via another boat, but she wants a kiss in return.

Victor obviously has video surveillance of the entire yacht he has Jack captive on, not only for security reasons, but perhaps to catch Jack doing something with Patty.

Has this been Victor’s plan all along? To kill two birds with one stone by getting Chancellor back, but also wreaking havoc in Jack’s marriage?

Jack may cross a line with Patty in order to escape his predicament, and Diane may understand, considering the circumstances, but if he cheated on her, it would still be a thorn in their marriage.

It would pain Diane to see any footage of Jack kissing another woman, potentially doing the deed as well, and while Jack would have a good reason for it, could Diane erase this image in her mind once the seed has been planted?

The Young and the Restless spoilers suggest that Jack crossing a line with Patty, even under the veil of saving his life and coming back home to Diane in Genoa City, would definitely cause problems, but could it also be the beginning of the end for their marriage?
