The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) threatened Ian Ward (Ray Wise).

However, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) kept thanking Ian for saving her life. Even Mariah was looking at Tessa like WTF!? With Tessa thinking Ian is a good guy who saved her life, she could face a devastating reality check.

What if Tessa and Ian get closer? Could Mariah end up filing for divorce and taking emergency custody of their daughter? Keep reading and let’s talk about what could happen next with this storyline.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Tessa Porter’s Health Crisis

Y&R spoilers reveal that Tessa was drugged on New Year’s Eve at Society. Tessa doesn’t realize she had been drugged.

It’s not clear if Ian knew Tessa would struggle to breathe, or if that was some kind of interaction or side effect. In any case, Ian was right there outside of Society when Tessa came stumbling out.

When Mariah showed up at Society, she was horrified to see Ian cradling Tessa in his arms. Of course, Ian looks like a hero to Tessa even though Mariah knows he was up to no good.

Y&R Spoilers – Mariah Copeland’s Threat

After that incident, Tessa and Mariah were taking Aria Copeland-Porter (Maddie and Millie Ingle) for a walk in her stroller. While out on their walk, Ian showed up.

While Ian remained calm, Mariah completely lost her cool. Tessa’s eyes were large as she nervously watched Mariah explode and threaten Ian.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Ian Ward’s Hero Game

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Ian said something to TERIAH that day. Ian mentioned that everything bad that happens in Genoa City will be his fault for a while.

Ian was planting the seed in Tessa’s mind that he will get the blame for everything. So, the next time Ian is accused, Tessa might wonder if he’s just a convenient scapegoat.

Tessa knows Ian has a bad history with Mariah and so many other people. While Mariah vaguely talked about it, she really didn’t go into detail.

That’s due to it being too traumatizing for Mariah. Unfortunately, this also means that Tessa might be unaware of just how crafty Ian is and it seems she is falling for his hero scam.

Y&R Spoilers – Custody Battle?

Ian likely will continue to go to Society. Ian might even talk to Tessa. The mother already showed Ian a picture of Aria. However, if Ian keeps up his reformed act up, Tessa could fall for it.

Tessa might even allow Ian to hold Aria if Mariah isn’t around. What if Mariah stops by and sees it, though? Could Tessa end up losing custody of Aria?
