The Young and the Restless Mystery Man: Who was the man Victor met with at the GCAC?

On Friday's episode of The Young and the Restless, a man in a suit and tie met with Victor at the GCAC. We saw him in that one scene, and then we didn't see him again for the rest of the episode. Who was he, and why did Victor meet with him?

Victor's mystery man on The Young and the Restless

Did anyone catch that man The Young and the Restless' Victor (Eric Braeden) met with? He was wearing a dark suit, light blue shirt, and plaid tie. He appeared in that one scene, at the GCAC. Was he simply a random man the Y&R writers placed in the scene? A fellow businessman who's known Victor for years? Or is he one of the many "people" Victor hires to take care of problematic situations for him and the rest of the Newman family?

Is the mystery man someone Victor has involved in the off-the-wall kidnapping plot that has to do with Lily (Christel Khalil) and the twins, Charlie (Noah Alexander Gerry) and Mattie (Lexie Stevenson)? We never know what Victor has up his sleeve, so it's anyone's guess.

Why does Jack have to poke the bear that is Victor Newman?

Those scenes of Jack (Peter Bergman) gloating about Victor losing Newman Enterprises were nails on a chalkboard to our ears. Hasn't Jack learned by now that the opera isn't over till the fat lady sings? He should know that Victor always manages to claw his way out of sticky situations. Just because Cane (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) stole NE doesn't mean that he won't get it back, somehow. Why do The Young and the Restless writers always make Jack look stupid?

And we have to laugh at the way Kyle (Michael Mealor) was sitting in the background, at the bar, watching with an eagle eye and hanging on to every nasty word that Victor and Jack said to each other. Was Kyle looking for pointers on how the big boys play in the business world? He couldn't keep his eyes off of his old man and the Black Knight throughout their entire conversation! Oh, well. At least he wasn't moping over Claire (Hayley Erin).

But really, Jack. Sit down and shut up. The next time Victor approaches you, just smile, say, "Hello," and let the Mustache keep on walking.

Does the mystery man have something to do with this sneak preview?

We can't imagine what in tarnation is going on in this sneak preview for next week on The Young and the Restless. Are we supposed to believe that Cane is laying there, dead as a doorknob? We know it can't be so, since we believe he's eventually going to reunite with Lily. Besides, Victor couldn't have possibly hired the mystery man to kill Cane. This isn't General Hospital, and Victor isn't GH's mobster, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Victor doesn't hire enforcers to rub out his enemies, although we are still wondering what he did with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).

We have no idea what this scene is about, but we do wonder whether that man from the GCAC has something to do with it. Why is Victor sitting in Cane's traincar bedroom, looking at an unconscious Cane? And why does he always lure Adam (Mark Grossman) into these harebrained schemes? Adam blabbed to Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) about the kidnapping scheme. Why would Victor involve him in this one, too?
