The Young and the Restless: Kyle struggles with an unexpected betrayal
In the episode of The Young and the Restless aired on November 15, 2024, Kyle Abbott found himself in the middle of a big problem that affected his personal and professional life.
The trouble started when Kyle found out that his mother, Diane Jenkins, had worked with Victor Newman to take control of Glissade. Diane's choices, along with Victor's harsh business moves, made Kyle feel very hurt and let down by two important people in his life.
Diane's betrayal became evident when she admitted to Kyle that "Victor's giving me Glissade in exchange for firing Kyle again," revealing the complexity of her loyalty. Kyle was furious, saying Diane had not only broken his connection with his father, Jack Abbott, but also ruined his career.
"You said I made a mistake in trusting the wrong people. You’re right about that because I trusted you, and that is something that will never happen again,” said Kyle.
The extent of the betrayal became clear when Jack stepped in, insisting on the truth from Diane. Her emotional collapse and Jack's quiet reassurances that it would all be over soon suggested there was more going on. Jack's quiet support hinted at a shared plan, but it didn't ease Kyle's feeling of abandonment.
Meanwhile, on The Young and the Restless, Victor gives a cold explanation, stating, “You’re playing with the big boys now in a cutthroat world,” highlighting the harsh realities Kyle still needed to face.
The consequences continued as Kyle confronted Victor, accusing him of using him to hurt Jack. Victor's reply was both apologetic and firm: “I’m sorry, you’re a good man. You’re very bright and will be a very successful businessman. Once you stop licking your wounds, you’ll understand what I did.”
This left Kyle shocked, realizing that the loyalty he thought he had from his family and business partners was fragile in a world governed by power moves and strategic alliances.
