The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates tease the poisoned bourbon bottle could make a reappearance; will an Abbott be the next to attract suspicion? The latest mystery on Y&R could take a more intricate twist based on the final location of the missing bottle.
The Dagger And The Bourbon Bottle And Glasses Went Missing
Shortly after the murder of Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers), the dagger vanished along with a presumably drugged bottle of bourbon from Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) private collection. The glasses that Cane and Damian used also went missing from the crime scene.
Nick discovered the dagger in the bathroom of his sleeping car, but there was no trace of the bourbon bottle or the glasses.
Given that Nick is clearly being set up, why didn’t the person orchestrating this frame-up also place the remaining evidence in his sleeping car? Carter (Vincent Stalba) is currently our prime suspect for the murder, so let’s delve into what his mindset might be.
Carter Is A Loyal Employee Of Cane Who Would Do Anything For Him
We have an employee who is extremely loyal and eager to take initiative in order to “assist” his boss.
Carter might have eliminated Damian since he was obstructing Cane’s route to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and set Nick up to disrupt the Newmans. But Carter might unleash another unexpected twist if he decides to place the bourbon bottle onto someone else.
It’s possible that Carter will escalate the situation further by implying that Nick had a partner in his wrongdoing. Could it be that an Abbott becomes a scapegoat as well, and framed as an accomplice in Damian’s murder?
Cane’s Agenda Involves All Of The Key Players In Genoa City
Ultimately, Cane’s plan is to target all the major players in Genoa City – which includes Newman Enterprises, Jabot, and Abbott Communications. Carter may also aim to disrupt the Abbotts with some dramatic framing.
Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), or even Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) could find themselves embroiled in the murder investigation if the bourbon bottle somehow implicates one of them.
The bottle, containing remnants of the drugged bourbon, could be secretly placed in one of their sleeping cars to further complicate the case.
Carter might create the illusion that Jack, Diane, or Billy had drugged the bottle before Nick threw the dagger.
Carter May Also Be Trying To Throw Chance And The Police Off The Trail
Certainly, Carter might just wish that by transforming this murder mystery into a colossal tangle, he’ll throw Chance and the local police off the trail.

If it becomes increasingly difficult for Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) and ultimately the Nice authorities to decipher it all, the true culprit may never be found.
This turmoil could serve as a tactic to evade the consequences of murder and ensure that Cane is not implicated in any wrongdoing.
Nevertheless, Y&R spoilers indicate that the missing bourbon bottle and possibly even the glasses may resurface somewhere down the line, so stay tuned for further updates on the next surprising revelations.
