Mariah’s Car Ride Hits a Dark Point
Mariah (Camryn Grimes) woke up after her car veered off the road. She looked around for Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark), who was gone from the backseat. She wondered whether Dominic ran away and returned home to his parents.
Then, Mariah woke up again and realized that it was all a dream. Dominic was sound asleep in the backseat. Mariah told him about the dream she had, which she had taken as a sign.
He went away, and she was heartbroken. She realized that the dream was a message that she should never let Dominic out of her sight again. She recalled a moment when she carried Dominic, and she wanted to keep him safe.
Mariah fell in love with Dominic before Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Devon (Bryton James) met him. And now that she’s reunited with him, she isn’t going to let him go. She told a sleeping Dominic that she would die before anyone would take him away from her again.

The Influence of Ian Ward
Mariah is still experiencing hallucinations of Ian Ward (Ray Wise), who pushed her to “keep her eye on the prize.” Since Ian is rooted in her trauma, his influence suggests that Mariah isn’t running to something. She’s driven by a mental health crisis that’s causing her to run from her deepest trauma.
This omen suggests that she might go to extreme lengths to protect Dominic. She might believe that she’s fulfilled a plan dictated by her past. Mariah could be on the brink of self-destruction, which could lead to her shocking demise.
There’s nothing left for Mariah in Genoa City. She walked out on Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) and Aria. Not only did she destroy her reputation, but she also betrayed the trust of Abby and Devon. Her demise could allow her to effectively “kill” the life she once had.
