It's a Trap!

Jack (Peter Bergman) may not want to involve the Genoa City Police Department in rescuing his wife, Diane (Susan Walters), currently being held at a residence occupied by Dr. Laurence Markham (Jere Burns), but that doesn't mean he's going to stand by and do nothing!

On Wednesday's show, watch for Jack to set a trap for Patty. But will she fall for it? Jack is very crafty and manipulative when he wants to be. However, Patty knows him quite well, and so far, she has stayed one step ahead of him. Jack has the edge on Patty because she is vulnerable to him on a personal level. Jack has one goal right now, and that's the safe return of his wife. If his plan works, he'll get what he wants.

If it doesn't, Jack could end up placing Diane in even greater danger, and that's the last thing he wants!

A Helping Hand

On Wednesday's show, Cane (Billy Flynn) is going to ask Lily (Christel Khalil) for a favor. Cane has every reason to feel good these days. He's got Lily back in his life. Cane is running Chancellor Industries, so he has a job. Plus, he's earned some good karma by using his bone marrow to help save Malcolm's (Shemar Moore) life.

Perhaps that karma will come back to him in the form of Lily granting his request. Could Cane actually want to help Billy (Jason Thompson) in an effort to show his stepmother, Jill Foster Abbott (temporarily played by Jess Walton), that he cares about her and even cares about Billy, given their mutual love of Jill?

When Billy Met Sally's Plan

Billy's another person who doesn't have much to complain about these days. Sure, he doesn't have Chancellor Industries anymore, but he's got a great partner in Sally (Courtney Hope), whom he plans on marrying. Plus, she's expecting his child.

However, there could be a conflict coming up on Wednesday's show as Billy sabotages Sally's plan. Are we talking about Sally's plans to marry Billy? Does she want a small service, and Billy wants to give her a blowout gala? Or does Sally have plans for her baby that Billy is going to sabotage? In what way is Billy going to respond to Sally's plan? Negatively? Or positively?

Do you think Jack's plan will work? What favor is Cane going to ask of Lily? And what is Billy going to do? Sound off in the comments below!
