Get into the way back machine and remember when Nikki was living a cult nightmare at Ian Ward’s hands.

This time Ward posed as a life counselor trying to convince Summer he was here to help her out with her life’s troubles.
Same game for Ian Ward playing head games on Y&R
This is creepy similar to his old The Young and the Restless days when he was a cult leader that trapped a very young, and impressionable Nikki into joining his cult group holding her against her will, and raped her repeatedly.
In fact during this traumatic time in Nikki’s life is when her son Dylan wsa concieved, it is also really close to teh time when Nikki was sleeping with Paul. (Interesting coincidence, or major plot shaker?)
Nikki got her revenge after Ian tried to extort money from Nikki and the Newman clan, but was arrested after Nikki set him up with the cops while wearing a wire during the money deal.
But… Ian Ward is back, and now Dylan must face his evil of the man who could be his father and face head on unexpectedly.
Ian will come face to face with Dylan explaining that all the charges have been dropped, as he attempts to pull Dylan into his corner with his mind games.
Ian Ward spells nothing but trouble for The Young and the Restless residents of Genoa City, especially Nikki and Dylan.
Who knows what extremes he will use to gain what he believes in his sick mind belongs to him.
