The Young and the Restless: Mariah continues with her crazy plan
As mentioned before, Mariah’s deteriorating mental health led her to interact with the imaginary Ian Ward as she was fixated on Dominic, the child she gave birth to. While she disconnected with Tessa and Aria, she secretly stalked Dominic. Later, she was seen kidnapping the child as his parents looked for him.

The upcoming episodes of The Young and the Restless will see Mariah continuing on this path as she convinces Dominic that they are playing a game with his parents. She will likely take the child to a new location and may continue to change locations in the future.

On Ian’s advice, she may try to poison the child’s mind against his parents, telling him that his parents do not love him anymore. Whether Dominic believes her and starts trusting her, or she fails miserably, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Sharon and Tessa may learn about her actions and want to step in to help her in her dire mental condition.
