At Chancellor Park, Nick, out on a jog, runs into Nikki, who reports she doesn’t know what Victor’s up to, but it should all become clear soon – she took action by hiring Rey Rosales to investigate. Nick approves.

In Vegas, Victor warns Sharon what he has to say will have a huge impact on her. Sharon’s puzzled. Victor states, “Adam’s alive.” Sharon wonders how it’s possible and asks, “Here…in Vegas?” Victor reveals Adam’s part of an underground gambling ring and goes by the name of Spider – he saw him face-to-face, but Adam didn’t recognize him and doesn’t remember anything from before the explosion. The psychiatrist hasn’t been able to help – Victor’s hoping Sharon will be able to bring Adam back. She wonders what makes Victor think she can get through to him. Victor replies Adam was deeply in love with her; she may be the only one who can get through to him. Sharon tears up – what happens to her life if she reaches out to Adam? She confronts Victor about using her as bait. Victor reflects they’ve had a difficult history and asks her to put that aside to imagine how he feels as a parent. He knows she cares deeply for Adam. Sharon cries. Victor says, “You know where to reach me,” and exits. When Rey returns, Sharon relays that Victor gave her news about his son, Adam. Rey recalls he died. Sharon explains he’s alive, but has no recollection of his life – she’s certain Victor was truthful. He wants her to help unlock Adam’s memory. Rey asks why he would think she could help, but Sharon worries about telling Nick.
