On The Young and the Restless, October 21, Mariah’s past came back to haunt her. Is Ian Ward really back? Or is she hallucinating? If so, is Ian involved in both Mariah and Noah’s criminal cases?

Key Takeaways

  • Mariah is coming to terms with her painful past.
  • Sharon was at the hospital with Noah, who ended up in a car accident.
  • Ian Ward could be behind both criminal cases.

Mariah Gets a Blast From the Past

At the clinic in Boston, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) realized she had to confront what had happened. She’s felt lonely ever since she pushed Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) away. But it could be too late, as Tessa locks lips with Daniel (Michael Graziadei) after a drunken night out.

Meanwhile, Mariah is struggling to move forward. Her past keeps haunting her, and it’s now in the form of Ian Ward (Ray Wise). It’s unclear whether he’s a hallucination or a memory from her past. It’s obvious that Mariah’s struggling to confront the secret she’s been keeping.

The Mom Stays Mum

In the meantime, Mariah called her mom, Sharon (Sharon Case). She’s been staying at the hospital where Noah (Lucas Adams) has been recovering from his horrific car crash. Another car collided with him, causing him to lose control and drive off the road into a ravine.

Now, there are questions about the car crash involving Noah. Was it intentional? It could’ve been. Sharon and Nick are reliving the moment when Cassie (Camryn Grimes) lost her life in a car crash. However, she remained silent during her conversation with Mariah, who inquired about the possibility of visiting her.

Sharon assured her that she would visit soon. In the meantime, she will contact Mariah’s doctors to see what treatment they recommend. Yet, Mariah insists that she needs to do this on her own. Sharon told her daughter that she needs to accept help so she can be there for Tessa and Aria again.

Is Ian Ward Behind the Crimes?

Mariah is having a hard time coming to terms with what happened in Boston. All she knows is that she supposedly killed an older man after they got cozy. But she doesn’t want the truth to come out because it could hurt their family.

Meanwhile, Noah’s car crash is currently pending. Who would want him dead? Does this have something to do with the investors who helped open his nightclub?

Is it possible that Ian Ward is behind both crimes? If so, he’s a very busy man. He could’ve hired Detective Burrows (Matt Cohen) to mess with the investigation. Or maybe it’s just purely coincidental that both of Sharon and Nick’s kids are embroiled in major drama right now.
