The Young and the Restless has created another kidnapping storyline<\/a> with Mariah snatching Dominic. Many feared this would happen given Mariah\u2019s fragile state. However, some fans believe that there\u2019s another mastermind behind Dominic\u2019s kidnapping, and it could lead to this character\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/p>\n

After checking out of a Boston clinic, Mariah kidnapped Dominic.<\/p>\n

Mariah is on the run with Dominic, taking him to a secret place.<\/p>\n

Patty is set to make her return soon and wreak havoc on Genoa City.<\/p>\n

Following Their Lead<\/p>\n

For the past year, Mariah\u2019s (Camryn Grimes) been going through a difficult time. Realizing she needed help, she checked into a Boston clinic, but it was obvious she wasn\u2019t getting better.<\/p>\n

After checking out of the clinic, Mariah hid out in a motel room, where she was haunted by Ian (Ray Wise). Per Ian\u2019s demand, Mariah kidnapped Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark) and is on the run with him.<\/p>\n

Mariah kidnapping Dominic has captured the audience\u2019s attention. Fans are curious if Mariah is acting on her own, or if there\u2019s someone else pulling the strings.<\/p>\n

Many suspect that Ian is alive and is the evil mastermind behind Dominic\u2019s kidnapping. However, there might be another villain responsible, and that\u2019s Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk).<\/p>\n

Patty is set to make her Y&R return<\/a> after a 10-year absence. When viewers last saw Patty, she was still a patient at Genoa City\u2019s Fairview. But a lot could\u2019ve changed in a decade.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a chance Patty might have been transferred from Fairview to the same Boston clinic as Mariah. While there, Patty could\u2019ve learned about Mariah\u2019s history as Abby\u2019s (Melissa Ordway) surrogate and convinced her to take Dominic.<\/p>\n

What Is Patty\u2019s Motive?<\/p>\n

While Patty being behind Dominic\u2019s kidnapping seems far-fetched, anything\u2019s possible. Patty is one of Y&R\u2019s top villains, who\u2019s caused much heartache for The Abbotts and The Newmans. <\/p>\n

Patty is Jack\u2019s (Peter Bergman) ex-wife, whose divorce caused her to have a mental breakdown. After their split, Patty remained obsessed with Jack and was used as a pawn in Victor\u2019s (Eric Braeden) war against the Jabot CEO. <\/p>\n

Throughout the years, Patty committed many crimes, including shooting Jack, causing Colleen\u2019s (Tammin Sursok) death, and triggering Summer\u2019s (Allison Lanier) allergy reaction which led to hospitalization. So, Patty kidnapping Dominic isn\u2019t out of the realm of possiblity.<\/p>\n

Patty is probably still holding a grudge against Jack for breaking her heart and wants revenge. But instead of going after him, she\u2019s going after his family; this time his grand-nephew, Dominic.<\/p>\n

Jack and The Abbotts will do anything to help Abby get Dominic back. But with Patty potentially involved, they might want to proceed with caution with how they handle the situation.<\/p>\n
