Adam Falls for it

When Sarah invites Adam to Harry’s birthday party he reckons she’s thawing. But his good mood is short-lived when Sarah announces she’s filed for divorce.
With Sarah distracted, Adam texts Lydia from her phone. Meeting Lydia in a coffee shop, he presses record on his phone but Lydia sees through him and snatching his phone, presses delete. Asserting he’s had enough of her games, Adam tries to wrestle his phone back, but as Lydia lets go, the phone smashes to the floor. Lydia rails at Adam for his treatment of her all those years ago. Adam feels a pang of guilt. But when Adam suggests it’s time she told Sarah the truth, Lydia’s seething, realising it’s still the same old Adam and all he cares about is himself. As Daniel scours the shopping centre for Adam, having heard from Sarah he’s gone to meet Lydia, he hears a noise from the balcony. In a rage, Lydia slaps Adam and gives him an almighty shove. As Adam topples backwards over the railings, Lydia watches with horror.
The doctor tells Ken and Daniel that Adam has suffered a bleed behind the eye and needs an operation to save his sight. As they quiz Adam about his fall, suggesting Lydia’s to blame, Adam claims he doesn’t remember. Peter breaks the news to Sarah who asserts Adam’s no longer her problem but Carla urges Sarah to be there for him when he wakes up as she clearly still cares about him. Will Adam be OK? (I hope so!)
