Sharon Encourages Adam to Return to Genoa City

Sharon gasps when Adam appears at his place in Vegas. He apologizes for startling her and admits he can’t recall anything from before the explosion. She wonders if seeing and hearing her might kindle a memory. It doesn’t. Adam admits that spending time with Victor hasn’t helped either; it might be best not to remember. Sharon points out that he kept a photo of Christian and asks why. Victor told him about Christian, and Adam felt a connection when he saw his photo but nothing else. None of this pushing and probing is making him feel better. Sharon warns that he had a complex relationship with his father and sometimes they brought out the worst in each other. That’s not surprising to him. Adam would rather leave the past in the past and asks her to get Victor to back off. He thinks this was all a waste of time. Taking him by the hand, she says he’s not a waste of anyone’s time. He admits that he did a search on his name when people told him he looked like Adam. He doesn’t want to be the guy he read about. The only thing he can remember is being homeless and playing poker. When he asks Sharon why she wants to help, she tells him about their complicated past and how he saved her from a dark place and time. She’s sure that everyone wants to heal and she thinks he needs a human connection. He’s determined to leave who he used to be behind him. Sharon asks him to come to Genoa City for a week and try it out. Adam agrees to think about it. After she leaves, he looks at the picture of Christian and then packs a bag.

Sharon goes to a bar. She calls Victor and tells him that there was no flash of memory. But she has asked Adam to try coming home. They need to wait to see if he’ll take the leap.
