The battle for control in Genoa City just took a dark turn. Jack Abbott thought he had his rival Victor Newman cornered, but Victor’s refusal to hand over the AI program has set off a chain of events that could destroy Jack’s future. Matt Clarkâs deadly offer to eliminate Victor presents Jack with a choice: sacrifice his morality for ultimate power, or continue a dangerous war that could tear his life apart.
Matt Clarkâs Offer That No One Saw Coming

Victor’s refusal to trademark the AI was not just another corporate moveâit was a declaration of war. The AI, capable of reshaping entire industries, became the battleground where Jack’s battle for power collided with his deepest moral dilemma. But when Matt Clark, a volatile and dangerous figure, entered the scene, Jack was presented with an unimaginable proposal: eliminate Victor, take control of Newman Enterprises, and reshape Genoa City forever. It was the offer of a lifetimeâbut at a horrifying cost.
Jack’s Dilemma: A Choice That Could Define His Legacy
Jack Abbottâs decision was never going to be easy, but itâs one that no one could have predicted. To accept Mattâs deal would mean crossing a line from which there is no return. Jack would no longer be fighting for control of a corporation, but for his own soul. His longstanding rivalry with Victor would end not in triumph but with an irreversible criminal actâmurder. But refusing Matt’s offer would mean staying trapped in a never-ending battle with Victor, one that could drain Jack of everything heâs worked for.

The weight of the decision was crushing. With Victorâs hold on the city so firm, Jack began to wonder whether there was any way to escape this war without losing himself in the process. The offer felt like a grim inevitability, but at what cost? If Jack accepts, he risks becoming the very thing heâs fought against: a ruthless, calculating monster. Yet, without action, his future in Genoa City would be uncertain.
Mattâs Power Play
While Jack wrestles with his conscience, Matt Clark is more than just a pawnâheâs a wild card. Mattâs offer may have been about power, but the real danger lies in how little Jack truly understands the depths of Matt’s manipulation. What started as a transaction soon turned into a game of psychological warfare. Matt is playing a longer game, using Jackâs desperation and hatred for Victor to fuel his own ambitions.
The true cost of this deal lies in the aftermath. If Jack goes through with it, he could dismantle Victorâs empire, but he would never escape the emotional and legal consequences. Matt Clark is not a man who can be trusted, and Jackâs willingness to partner with him could turn everything heâs worked for into an unstable house of cards.
Fan and Public Reaction: Is Jack Still the Hero?
As the stakes in the Abbott-Newman war escalate, fans are divided. Some see Jackâs decision as the natural next step in his long battle against Victorâs oppressive rule. Others, however, believe that accepting Mattâs offer would mean losing the moral high ground Jack has spent years trying to maintain. Social media is ablaze with speculation about whether Jack will fall into darkness or rise above the temptation to kill.
On one hand, viewers feel sympathy for Jackâs positionâVictorâs refusal to compromise has left him with no good options. On the other hand, many are worried that Jackâs decision will have dire consequences for both his family and the future of Jabot. Could Jackâs moral surrender mean the end of his legacy as a respected business leader?

The AI: Victorâs Invisible Hand
Victorâs greatest weapon is not just his wealth or his powerâitâs his AI. Hidden deep within the Newman Ranch, the AI program is a silent guardian of Victorâs empire. It anticipates threats, neutralizes risks, and controls the flow of information with frightening precision. Jack may think heâs negotiating with Matt, but the AI is always watching, listening, and adapting.
As Jack steps into Victorâs world, the oppressive presence of the AI becomes clear. Itâs not just a toolâitâs a force that shapes every decision Jack makes, silently influencing the direction of his plans. The AIâs surveillance capabilities make every conversation a potential threat, every move a calculated risk. If Jack dares to cross Victor, heâll be up against not just a man, but an all-seeing system that will not hesitate to crush anyone who dares to challenge its creator.
The War Isnât OverâItâs Just Beginning
As Jack considers his next move, he canât shake the feeling that Victorâs reach extends far beyond what he initially believed. The AIâs covert power is just the beginning. Every decision Jack makes from here on out will be watched, scrutinized, and, if necessary, undone. Even if he refuses Mattâs deadly offer, Victorâs empire has already shifted. The game has changed, and Jack is no longer just fighting for controlâheâs fighting for his soul.
What Jack doesnât know is that his moral compass is about to be tested in ways he never expected. The decision he makes will reverberate through every corner of Genoa City, shifting allegiances, changing alliances, and sparking new conflicts. And in this battle, thereâs no such thing as an easy win.
