**Y&R spoilers shock: Jack had a heart attack when he heard Kyle declare that he would bankrupt Jabot**
In the latest episode of The Young and the Restless, the Abbott family faces a clash of loyalties and a struggle for power. Kyle Abbott, burdened by recent events, returns to the Abbott Mansion to collect his belongings. He is met by his father, Jack Abbott, who confronts him with concern and determination.
“Kyle, we need to talk,” Jack says, his voice firm yet worried. Kyle hesitates but agrees to follow Jack into the living room, where tension fills the air. Jack questions Kyle’s decision to leave his family and home, seeking answers. Kyle, frustrated, reveals his reasons: “I’m not leaving because I want to, Dad. I’m leaving because I have to. Victor trusts me. He’s made me CEO of GaDe alongside Audra. He believes in me, unlike you and Diane.”
Jack’s face hardens, but he keeps his tone calm. He explains that being a CEO requires more than ambition; it requires experience and wisdom. Jack wanted to teach Kyle these things to prepare him for the future. Kyle, angered, retorts, “So you think I’m going to fail like Victoria did at Newman? That’s the problem, Dad. You don’t think I’m capable. Victor does.”
Jack warns Kyle about Victor’s true intentions, arguing that Victor is using Kyle to destroy Jabot and hurt their family. Kyle, defiant, responds, “Maybe Jabot needs to fall for something new to rise. Victor is building GaDe into an empire, and I’ll be at the forefront.” Jack’s heart aches at his son’s words. He tries to make Kyle see the bigger picture, but Kyle remains resolute.
“I’ve made my decision, Dad. I’m going to prove myself with or without your support,” Kyle declares before leaving. Jack, desperate, pleads with him to reconsider, but Kyle walks out, leaving Jack devastated. As Kyle drives away, Jack feels a sharp pain in his chest and sinks into a chair, clutching his heart. The emotional and physical strain takes its toll, and Jack is overwhelmed by the reality of the situation.
The Abbott Mansion becomes a somber place, with Jack’s health a growing concern. Diane worries about both Jack and Kyle as the future of the Abbott family seems uncertain. Victor Newman, meanwhile, revels in his triumph. He has successfully driven a wedge between Jack and Kyle, setting the stage for GaDe’s rise at Jabot’s expense.
Kyle’s new role at GaDe demands his full attention, and he faces immense pressure to succeed. Doubts begin to creep in as he questions whether Victor’s vision is worth the cost of his relationship with his family. Jack, determined to fight for his son and company, refuses to let Victor’s schemes dictate Jabot’s future.
Tune in to see how this intense family drama unfolds on The Young and the Restless.
