On The Young and the Restless, February 2, Devon spoke to Nate about Dominic going missing. Nate made an interesting observation about Mariah in their conversation. He thinks she needs a “mental reset” from all that she’s gone through, but the damage is already done.
Key Takeaways
- Devon and Abby’s little boy, Dominic, has gone missing.
- Mariah kidnapped him because she believes she’s his biological mother.
- Devon spoke to Nate about their troubling situation.
- Nate shared that Mariah could use a “mental reset,” but that is the worst kind.
Devon Confides in Nate
At the Chancellor mansion, Nate (Sean Dominic) visited Devon (Bryton James) to see how he’s been doing. He noticed he’s hardly slept since Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark) has gone missing.
Devon can’t sleep because he’s desperate to get his son back. Nate wondered why Mariah (Camryn Grimes) wanted to kidnap Dom after all this time. Devon noted Mariah’s mental health problems, which started when Ian Ward (Ray Wise) returned to town.
But she didn’t seek help. Rather, she checked herself out of the facility and has distanced herself from everyone. Nate believes that Mariah needs a “mental reset,” but instead of focusing on herself, she’s trying to do that with the boy she carried to term.
Is It Too Late For Mariah’s Redemption?
It could be too late. The damage is already done. Mariah should’ve reached out to Sharon (Sharon Case) about her mental health problems. They went through the same struggles at different times in their lives.
When Sharon hallucinated, she thought she heard Cameron’s (Linden Asbhy) voice telling her what to do. Mariah has convinced herself that Ian’s voice encouraged her to snatch Dominic.
Sharon could help Mariah recover from her mental turmoil. She had a hypnosis that brought her back to reality. This is what Mariah needs right now, but it’s too late.
Mariah Pushed Everyone Away
She made the mistake of pushing everyone away in her life. Rather than agreeing to seek psychiatric treatment, she pushed away the love of her life, Tessa (Cait Fairbanks).
Mariah failed to recognize that she already has a child in her life. She forgot all about Aria. In her mind, she’s convinced that Dominic is her son, and there is no going back from that.
There is no redemption arc in Mariah’s story. Tessa is aware of this matter. That’s why she made the difficult decision to divorce her wife. There’s very little hope for Mariah as she makes the biggest mistake in her life.
