Devon is one angry dad on The Young and the Restless. He is upset that justice isn’t being served in Mariah’s kidnapping trial. With Devon not willing to let go of his fury, perhaps Lily can talk sense into her brother.
Key Takeaways
- Mariah was arrested for kidnapping Devon and Abby’s son Dominic.
- Christine’s plea deal had Mariah avoiding prison.
- Devon believes Mariah belongs behind bars.
In Mariah’s Shoes
Mariah (Camryn Grimes) caused much pain for Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) when she kidnapped Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark). At first, the couple wanted Mariah to get help for her mental problems. But now that a verdict has been reached, they’re having second thoughts.
Mariah’s plea deal had her avoiding a prison sentence and checking into a mental health facility. While Mariah is finally receiving proper help for her issues, it’s not enough for Devon.
Devon can’t forget the hurt and panic he and Abby experienced when Dominic went missing. He feels that Christine’s (Lauralee Bell) plea bargain was just a slap on the wrist, and Mariah deserves a harsher punishment. However, some people, including Devon’s sister Lily (Christel Khalil), believe Mariah is getting the proper treatment.
Although Devon might not want to hear it, he probably should listen to Lily. On a soap opera forum, fans pointed out that Lily’s a good advocate for Mariah.
“Since Lily actually has been locked up in prison, she knows what that could be like for Mariah,” the original poster wrote. As many viewers might remember in 2018, Lily was sentenced to a year in prison for Hilary (Mishael Morgan) and her baby’s deaths.
While most fans are on Devon’s side in the Mariah argument, others feel Lily is right. “This won’t be said often by me, but Lily is right. Devon may need to seek some counseling himself.”
Holding On To Anger
Despite Lily’s attempts to help Devon, he’s still holding on to his anger concerning Mariah. Fearing that Mariah won’t change, Devon is concerned about his family’s safety.
Although Mariah is currently locked up, once she gets out, everyone will see if she’s healed or not. While Mariah seems dedicated to getting better, there’s a chance therapy may not work.
Devon’s fury will increase when Mariah’s released in a few weeks, or months. As Mariah tries to return to a normal life with her own family, Devon’s going to be keeping a sharp eye on her. But could Devon’s protectiveness of his family and anger toward Mariah lead to him taking drastic action?
