Adam Spirals Deeper

Nick shows Adam the Gazette stating that one of the brothers Damon was involved with has been arrested for the murder of a local gangster. Adam pales, worried the victim might be Damon. Josie (Owen’s boss) is blown away by Sarah’s Nippersnapper pitch and confirms that she’s happy to sign the contract. Sarah’s thrilled but her good mood is short lived when at home she finds Adam scrolling through her phone. A flustered Adam tells her he needs to know if she’s heard from Damon as he’s done something really stupid. Adam confesses how he wanted Damon out of their lives so spoke to a local gangster but now Damon might be dead. Sarah tells Adam she’s bleeding and is scared she’s losing the baby. At the hospital, Adam holds Sarah’s hand as she has a scan.

Sarah tries to broach the subject of the paternity test but Adam refuses to engage. Confiding in Daniel about the pregnancy scare, Daniel surmises he’ll find it tough to insist on an abortion even if Damon’s the father. Stressed, Adam snaps at him and hurries off to court. But as Adam makes his client’s case, he starts to sweat, shake and lose focus before dashing from the courtroom. Dee-Dee watches in alarm as Adam’s in the throes of a full-on panic attack.

Adam tells Daniel he’s arranged to announce Sarah’s pregnancy to their families later. Sarah tells Adam it’s too early in the pregnancy to go public. As the Platts and Barlows assemble for the big announcement, they’re underwhelmed when Adam makes out he’s just won a big court case. However when Daniel arrives late and proposes a toast to the new baby, is the cat out of the bag?
