Devon and Mariah’s friendship appears to be over on The Young and the Restless. After Mariah kidnapped Dominic, she shattered her bond with him. While Mariah is getting help for her issues, that isn’t enough for Devon, who wants a stricter punishment for her.
Key Takeaways
- An unwell Mariah kidnapped Devon and Abby’s son, Dominic.
- Mariah’s plea deal had her checking into a mental health facility instead of prison.
- Devon believes Mariah should be in prison and is appealing the judge’s decision.
Justified Anger?
The fallout of Dominic’s (Ethan Ray Clark) kidnapping has created lots of turmoil. Facing the prospect of prison, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) agreed to a plea deal. As part of the deal, Mariah would finally get treatment for the mental issues that caused her to snap.
Mariah’s punishment — or lack thereof — has Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) at odds. At first, Devon was all for Mariah getting help, but now he’s changed his mind.
Devon is angry about the pain and panic Mariah inflicted on him and Abby when Dominic went missing. He feels Mariah got off too easy and needs to be in prison. Not only does Devon’s attitude have him and Abby divided, but also fans.
On a soap opera message board, most fans think Devon should cut Mariah a break. “Can he really be at peace knowing she’s rotting in a jail cell INSTEAD of getting professional help? Having Mariah in a cell block is NOT going to help her with YEARS of childhood trauma,” wrote one poster.
“I’m not surprised Devon is acting this way. He wanted and got his own sister sent to prison for what was really an accident,” one viewer wrote.
However, some fans believe Devon is justified in his anger. “To heck with Sharon and Christine! That is Devon’s child that was kidnapped from his home by Mariah. These people don’t give a damn about Dominic.”
“I don’t blame Devon for being angry with Mariah for kidnapping Dom, she shouldn’t have done that. So, I agree with Devon she should be locked up,” one commenter replied.
Will Devon Get His Wish?
Devon is petitioning the court to overturn Mariah’s sentencing in hope of getting her sent to prison. Christine’s (Lauralee Bell) and Sharon’s (Sharon Case) attempts to talk to Devon haven’t gone well.
Devon’s adamant he’s not changing his mind about Mariah. However, the same can’t be said for Abby. Although she initially wanted prison for Mariah, she’s had a change of heart.
With Abby supportive of Mariah getting help, Sharon and Christine might have hope for their case. Yet, Abby’s sympathy toward Mariah won’t go over well with Devon. With the couple disagreeing about Mariah, this could lead to trouble for Devon and Abby’s marriage.
