Patty Will Do Whatever It Takes to Prevent Jack from Rescuing Diane
It looks like Jack may be kidnapped yet again. In the June 26th episode of Y&R, Patty overheard Jack and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) planning a rescue mission for Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters).
She’s trapped at Dr. Laurence Markham’s (Jere Burns) house as his “patient.” Dr. Markham is on Patty’s payroll and is holding Diane hostage so that Patty can blackmail Jack into a relationship.
So, it’s not hard to imagine that Patty will do whatever it takes to shut down Jack’s plan. Patty could hire someone to kidnap Jack and bring him somewhere more private.
Or, she may knock him out with chloroform and take him somewhere secluded, making sure he can’t leave.
Patty is convinced that she and Jack were meant to be. She thinks that the night they shared on the yacht was something special, magical even.
However, it’s clear that either Patty drugged him or Victor Newman (Eric Braden) spiked the whiskey with ecstasy, and that’s how Patty got Jack into bed.
Patty can’t seem to take the hint that Jack would rather fight to save his marriage to Diane than be with Patty. Yet, she’ll continue to force Jack into these intimate situations.
Patty could even drug Jack again. However, we suspect Jack may be strong enough to refuse Patty’s advances this time. He is desperate to reunite with Diane.
Will Patty Try to Get Jack into Bed Again?
Jack knows how hurt and angry Diane was to find him in bed with Patty on the yacht, despite him being drugged and clearly out of his mind.
Meanwhile, Kyle will be at Crimson Lights, speaking with Dr. Markham about Diane. The plan was for Kyle to buy Jack enough time to break into Dr. Markham’s home and get Diane.
Since Jack fails to meet up with Kyle afterward, Kyle will realize that Patty was involved in his sudden disappearance.
What scares us is that Patty has shown that she’ll do anything to keep her grip on Jack. She may even rape him again.
The most disturbing aspect of this storyline is that Jack was, in fact, raped. Jack was Patty’s victim. Yet, the CBS soap has seemingly dismissed that in favor of focusing instead on Diane’s pain.
That said, we all know Y&R will once again feature a kidnapping storyline with Jack as the victim. The show can’t seem to come up with other, more intriguing stories. Jack will likely be held captive again by Patty.
It will be interesting to see whether Patty tries to get Jack to sleep with her again. Hopefully, this time, he won’t have another “tryst” with Patty, which will drive a deeper wedge between him and Diane.
