Mariah’s Stalker Reveals Himself and Becomes Aggressive

At the tack house, Adam smashes and trashes his phone. He takes out a new one and then heads for the door. Sharon shows up. He’s tired of everyone being in his face and suggests she save her concern for someone who needs it. She wants to know what’s going on. He can’t thank her enough for what she’s done, but he suggests she hold on to Rey.

Nick and Victoria both get texts from Adam at the Dark Horse office. He wants to see them and his siblings wonder why. She says he claims he’s changed but Nick thinks that’s a ploy and they need to be prepared. Adam arrives and so does the sarcasm. He explains that Victor wants him back at Newman and doesn’t value their work. Newman is the last place he wants to be. He’s ready to turn his back on everything and only wants three things in exchange. Adam wants half a billion dollars, the location of Chelsea and Connor, and custody of Christian. That gets Nick’s goat. Adam is determined to get his son as far away from Victor as he can so they can start a new life. After scribbling down his number, Adam takes off. Nick points out that this could be a sweet deal for Victoria. He says they can’t let their brother win. She thinks they should consider this more rationally but Nick refuses to even drag Chelsea into this. His sister is surprised he knows where she is. He admits she tried contacting him but it’s better that she not know Adam is back. Victoria doubts he can protect her and needs to give her a warning. When she leaves, he calls Adam and tells him he’s made a decision.
