Moving Target
Young & Restless’ Aristotle Dumas has only just been revealed to be Cane Ashby, and already, he suspects that someone is going to try to murder him. Who? Let’s consider the suspects, shall we?

The Embittered Ex
Lily Winters doesn’t trust her former husband as far as she can throw him. Still, she wouldn’t break her kids’ hearts by leaving them fatherless, would she? Nah. Lily’s too level-headed for that.

The Rival Tycoon
Victor Newman wouldn’t let Cane take control of Chancellor Industries over his dead body — or, for that matter, over Cane’s dead body. Would the Black Knight knock Cane’s pawn all the way off the board?

The Possessive CEO
Victor’s wife Nikki is currently running Chancellor and would be loath to let go of her dear friend Katherine’s company. But would she resort to murder in order to hang onto the reins?

The Wannabe Bigwig
These days, Billy Abbott is so on edge, he’s like a loaded gun that’s just waiting to be fired. Could he see Cane as an obstacle to his ambition and remove that obstacle by lethal means?

The Former Employee
The bad blood between Cane and fired exec Damian only got worse when the latter discovered the boss’ tie to Lily. Would Damian attempt to eliminate his romantic competition… permanently?

The Protective Brother
No way, no how will Devon let Cane run roughshod over Lily’s heart again. But would Devon go so far as to try to hasten his former brother-in-law’s demise — and risk his own future with Abby by doing so?

The Dutiful Son
Nick has killed before to protect his family. (Just ask Ashland.) Would he do so again before Cane has a chance to become a real thorn in Victor’s side? Nick has been glaring a lot!

The Black Sheep
We know that Adam is going to make his way to Nice with bad news for his father. Would Adam, who once plotted to off his whole family, try to score points with Daddy by unaliving Cane?

The Cosmetics Giant
Since Cane isn’t gunning for Jabot, Jack probably lands so low on the list of suspects that he could easily fall off of it. The same goes for his better half, Diane. She’s likelier to play dead than kill someone!

The Kidnapping Survivor
Phyllis’ ordeal at Martin’s hand has left her shaken to the core. An instance of PTSD could bring her right back to that torment — and inadvertently put Cane in harm’s way.

The Other Kidnapping Survivor
Under pressure, Sharon could snap and envision Cane as Martin… or Cameron… or Ian Ward — any of the villains who have traumatized her. If she felt threatened, anything could happen.

The Power Couple
For now, Michael and Lauren are just along for the ride at Cane’s swanky party. (What his plan for the lawyer is has yet to be revealed.) The Baldwins wouldn’t kill anybody unless, say, the bar ran dry.

Dear Abby
The only reason that Devon’s better half would take a shot at Cane would be if the show wanted to actually give her something to do for a change.

A Mystery Assailant
Could be that Cane knows that one of late father Colin’s shady associates is gunning for him — and planning to use the bash in Nice as the perfect opportunity to take him out.
