Mariah’s Car Ride From Hell
Mariah (Camryn Grimes) was convinced to take Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark) out of the country. In her mind, he no longer had parents. He was her son. She noticed that Dominic had become quiet.
She thought he’d be excited about traveling to another country. Dominic said their little car trip wasn’t fun anymore. She tried to get him in the mood with songs and games, but it didn’t work.
Dominic knew something was off. He could feel it in his gut. Since he was all alone, he had to be his own little hero. Dominic demanded that Mariah take him home. He just wanted to see his parents.
Then, he made Mariah feel guilty. He said that he missed his parents. Then, Dominic questioned Mariah why his parents wouldn’t want him home. He tried to get her to fess up about what she was really pulling. This wasn’t about games; it was about something else.

Dominic Saves Himself
Dominic’s pleas and questions tripped Mariah up. She thought he’d be excited about the new home and new life they would build together. But he thought they were just playing Hide and Seek.
Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Devon’s (Bryton James) golden child had a sick feeling in his stomach. He was tired of being in the car. He wished he were back at home in his backyard, building a snowman.
At that moment, Dominic chose his own destiny. He decided to call his parents himself until Mariah yelled at him to put his seatbelt back on. She tried to make things right, but it was too late.
Dominic was already angry at her. And he’s going to remember this for the rest of his life. Mariah brought another child into her trauma. But thankfully, he bravely fought for himself as his parents waited outside the car for him.
Later in the episode, Dominic told his parents everything. They were glad that he told Mariah that he didn’t want to play her games anymore. He defended himself when no one else could, and that’s all that matters.
