Y&R Spoilers: A Family Shattered—Noah Fights for Life as Ian Ward Returns to Haunt Mariah
The Young and theRestless spoilers for Friday, October 24, 2025, reveal a day of gut-wrenching terror as the Newman family is split between two coasts and two separate nightmares.
In Los Angeles, the antiseptic silence of a hospital room is all that greets Sharon and Nick Newman. Their son, Noah, lies motionless in an induced coma, the victim of a brutal hit-and-run that Nick is convinced was an assassination attempt.
Nick paces the corridors, radiating a helpless rage. He’s pulling every Newman string, demanding answers and vengeance. Sharon, however, is hollowed out by quiet grief. She sits vigil, whispering to her unconscious son, begging him to return to her. The doctors offer clinical assurances about “reducing swelling,” but Sharon and Nick know the truth: they are waiting to see if Noah will ever wake up.
The suspicion hangs heavy in the air. This was no accident. Noah himself had warned Sharon, “If something happens to me, don’t believe what they tell you.” Now, those words haunt his parents as Victor Newman’s security guards patrol the hall, protecting the family from an enemy who has already struck.
But while Noah fights for his life in LA, his sister is fighting for her sanity in Boston.
Mariah Copeland checked herself into a private treatment center, desperate to escape her own demons. But the past has followed her. She is being tormented by the one man who defined her trauma: Ian Ward.
Though Ian is supposedly dead—shot by Victor years ago—his presence is terrifyingly real. It starts small: the scent of damp earth, the chill in the air, a playing card (the Queen of Hearts) left mysteriously intact. But Friday, the haunting becomes undeniable.
Ian Ward appears in her room, not as a memory, but as a solid, smiling apparition. He taunts Mariah, claiming she brought him back, that his heartbeat exists only for her. He attacks her psyche, whispering that her “kindness” is a costume and that deep down, she inherited his darkness—the instinct to manipulate, control, and survive. “You’re mine,” he chillingly declares.
The lines between reality and psychosis blur completely when Mariah receives a phantom phone call. She hears her mother’s voice, trembling and distant, telling her Noah is in a coma. But when the call drops and Mariah frantically tries the night nurse, she’s told the impossible: “You don’t have a phone, Miss Copeland. It was surrendered upon admission.”
Mariah is trapped. Is she hallucinating her brother’s tragedy?
Back in Los Angeles, Sharon is plagued by her own terrifying visions. Unable to reach Mariah, Sharon collapses into a fitful sleep and dreams of Ian Ward standing behind her daughter, whispering that Sharon must “choose” between her children.
The two nightmares collide in Friday’s terrifying cliffhanger.
As Sharon reads to Noah, desperate for a sign, his eyelids flicker. He moves. Overwhelmed with hope, Sharon calls for the doctors. At that exact same moment in Boston, Mariah collapses, overwhelmed by her vision of Ian, screaming his name as the staff rushes in to sedate her.
The connection binding the family stretches across the country. As the doctors stabilize Noah, he parts his lips. Though no sound emerges, Sharon watches in disbelief as he silently forms one word:
