The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Tuesday, March 10, indicate that Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) will push for an exchange while Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) piles on the deception with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

There’ll also be new development in the search for Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), so Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) will contemplate it.

Thanks to Victor’s photographic evidence that Jack was unconscious and got abducted, Billy may end up with a new clue to follow.

There might be something in the picture that alerts Billy, Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) to a potential destination.

It’s not like Victor to be that sloppy, so Billy will acknowledge the possibility that it could be a trap or just a wrong guess.

Nevertheless, Kyle will hold out hope that maybe they have a lead on where captive Jack is now.

Since this will be the first potential clue about Jack’s whereabouts, Diane won’t think they can just sit back and ignore it.

Even if it doesn’t lead them straight to Jack, it could be a step in the right direction.

Since Jack is currently floating on Lake Michigan in a yacht, locating him will prove challenging.

However, there’s a nearby marina involved that could become a hint for Billy, Kyle and Diane sooner or later.

In the meantime, Victor will lie to Nikki, even if it’s a lie by omission.

Nikki deserves to know that Victor is holding Jack hostage with Patty of all people, but he’ll keep her in the dark as long as he can.

Nevertheless, Y&R spoilers Nikki may smell trouble if she gets a whiff of Victor’s possible agreement with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).

Since Nikki will inevitably find out about Jack disappearing at some point, she’s going to blame Victor and unleash her wrath soon.

Across town, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) will continue to mull over Phyllis’ job offer, so she may bring Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) up to speed.

There may be some talk about whether Lauren should go to work at Newman Enterprises and risk riling up the Newmans.

Regardless, Lauren and Michael may eventually learn there’s much bigger news going on since Phyllis has been trying to negotiate a Chancellor trade for Jack, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and the twins.

Speaking of trades, Patty will be willing to show Jack around the yacht if he’ll give her a smooch.

After Patty pitches that swap, Jack will vow to deliver on his end of the bargain and try to butter her up a little.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Jack will play Patty like a fiddle, but he’d better watch out since she’s still got some tricks in store!
