“Mom, save me!” Dominic’s heart-wrenching cries tore at Abby’s heart Young And The Restless Spoilers
Shattered Security: The Young and the Restless’ Emotional Siege
The world of The Young and the Restless has been thrown into a state of profound unrest as a central family unit faces a crisis that threatens to leave permanent scars. At the heart of this emotional storm is young Dominic, whose sense of safety has been dismantled by a woman he once trusted—Mariah Copeland. As desperation turns into a dangerous obsession, Abby Newman and Devon Hamilton find themselves in a race against time, forced to navigate a landscape where love has been twisted into a weapon of possession.
For Abby and Devon, the foundation of their home hasn’t just been shaken; it has been quietly removed. Mariah, once a surrogate and a trusted family member, has crossed a line she vowed never to touch. Driven by a warped certainty that she was “robbed” of her son, Mariah’s trauma from the past has resurfaced with terrifying intensity. She no longer seeks just to be near Dominic; she seeks absolution for the day she gave him up, attempting to rewrite the present as if the past could be undone.
The psychological toll on Dominic is the most heartbreaking aspect of this spiral. Too young to understand biology but old enough to sense fear, the boy has become the center of a cruel tug-of-war. Mariah’s chilling revelation to the child—that she is his “real mother”—was delivered not as a promise of love, but as a “stone” thrown at his world. Devon, usually steady, has become wired with tension, noticing the small, devastating changes in his son: an unexpected flinch, a hesitation in his eyes, and an growing uncertainty about who to trust.
In an act of raw courage and quiet humiliation, Abby took the drastic step of making an emotional public plea via video. Placing her heart on display, she gambled that a mother’s raw grief might reach the part of Mariah that is still human. Abby’s message was a delicate calculation—gentle enough not to push Mariah into further extremity, yet firm enough to alert the community. She framed the situation as a “hope” rather than a manhunt, desperate to widen the circle of protection around her son without making him feel like prey.
However, the arrival of Sharon Newman and Detective Burrow signaled that this is no longer a private family matter. Burrow, a relentless investigator from the GCPD, has begun dissecting Mariah’s state of mind, including her history in a cult—a past that may have trained her to see pursuit as persecution. His methodical approach suggests that Mariah’s patterns are tightening; she is running out of places to hide, but the closer the authorities get, the higher the risk that she may do something irreversible.
As the search narrows, the air in Genoa City is thick with a “chilling vow” made by Mariah: she would rather die than let anyone take Dominic from her again. For Abby and Devon, the nightmare is far from over. They are left waiting for a phone call that could bring a miracle or a final, devastating blow, knowing that no amount of carefully chosen words can easily defeat a mind that has fused its entire identity to a child it refuses to let go.
