What I’d like to come out during couples therapy for #shey isn’t that Sharon can’t let go of Adam. But, rather, that Rey is the substitute for Dylan, who she admits is in witness protection, not dead. And it is THAT admission that sends Rey spiraling.... #shadam #shylan #fanfic

Rey leaves Sharon, goes to drink, and ends up having a ONS with Victoria. The guilt of his betrayal sends him down the path of alcoholism. He channels his rage into Adam while being unable to stay away from Vicki. #shey #shadam #reytoria

Meanwhile, Chelsea hatches her revenge against Adam for his betrayal with Sharon. When he finds out she duped him, he rushes out of the PH to escape his rage and goes into the stairwell b/c elevator is OOS. Chelsea follows. They argue. Adam “falls”. #shadam

Adam is in bad shape and, of course, Sharon rushes to his side. Chelsea goes back inside and sits in her chair, pretending she isn’t better (to escape blame). Sharon realizes her feelings and confesses them to a comatose Adam. She wonders if Rey could have done this?. #shadam

Suspicion falls on Rey while Adam is in his coma. When Adam fell, Rey was having sex with Victoria. In order to clear his name, he has to confess the affair. This confession ends his marriage to Sharon, who is betrayed. #shadam

Sharon waits to file for divorce, though, because of her preoccupation with Adam. Meanwhile, Chelsea “recovers” and wants to move the Comatose Adam from GC. Sharon is glad for the recovery, but also suspicious of the timing when Chelsea mentions the photo and how hurt she was.

Sharon suspects Chelsea caused Adam’s fall as she flashes back to her fight with Phyllis and what happened there years ago. Could Chelsea have pushed him? Sharon brings her suspicions to Paul, but he dismisses her. Victor believes her, though. #shadam

Together, Victor and Sharon work to prove Adam was pushed. When they discover security camera footage she thought she seduced the security guy to delete, she is cornered. Victor blackmails her into leaving GC. In a rage, Chelsea lunges at Victor.

As Chelsea lunges with a fire poker in her hand, Nicki runs in and stabs her with a knife. She only meant to wound Chelsea, but she ends up dying at the hospital. The death is ruled self-defense by Paul and the DA.

When Adam wakes up from his coma, Sharon is by his side. He remembers immediately that Chelsea pushed him. Sharon has to tell Adam that Chelsea is dead. He is grief-stricken despite his rage. He blames himself and pushes Sharon away. #shadam

More to come... stay turned.

Sharon decides to give Adam his space in order to process what happened and his guilt. Thinking he doesn’t remember her confession, she goes home to ponder what she wants for her life. And finds Victoria on her doorstep.

Vicki tells Sharon that Rey is miserable without her and apologizes for the affair, which she broke off. Sharon lashes out, but then stares at Vicki and asks if she loves Rey.

Yes, Vicki says. She does. But he loves Sharon. And she wants him to be happy.

Sharon tells Vicki that she is tired of being in a triangle. She still loves Rey despite his betrayal but can’t go through again what she went through with Nick and Phyllis. She asks Vicki to be there for him and to ❤️ him the way he deserves.

Sharon serves Rey with divorce papers. He shows up at her house drunk and apologetic & wants to save marriage . Sharon feels terrible, but is resolute in ending things. Angry, Rey goes on a tirade about Dylan being in witness protection - just as Nick and Faith walk in.

Sharon is forced to admit what really happened. That Dylan left because he had to, not by choice. And that she realized in therapy that she was subconsciously using Rey as a substitute for Dylan. Tells them that Nicki and Paul know too.

Nick is furious she lied. Faith is overjoyed about Dylan, but also furious. She can no longer trust anything her mom says or does. She tells her parents she wants to leave and go to boarding school to get away from their screwed up lives, which is the reason she was bullied.

Sharon and Nick agree to let her go. But Sharon makes Faith swear not to reveal the truth about Dylan to anyone - or she could put his life and their lives in danger. Faith agrees. Nick reluctantly. Rey hesitantly agrees b4 signing the papers and stumbling out of the house.

Sharon wants Nick to take Rey home, but he speeds off before Nick can catch him. As he is driving, he gets in an accident. When he is taken to the hospital, he incoherently mentions Dylan. As he is taken to surgery, an orderly is seen pulling out a 📱 and making a call.

The next day, Sharon attends Chelsea’s funeral. Adam’s happy to see her and they hug. Connor walks in and screams that he hates her for “killing his mom” with her obsessions with his dad. Adam tries to explain, but Sharon stops him and leaves. Now is not the time. #shadam

After the funeral, Connor tells Adam he wants to stay with him now that his mom is gone. Adam agrees, but Connor tells him he doesn’t like Sharon, blames her for Chelsea’s death, and doesn’t want him near her. Says he never deserved Chelsea. It’s the least he can do. #shadam

After Connor goes to school the next AM, Adam goes Sharon’s. When she answers the door, he steps inside, slams it shut, pulls her close & says, “I love you, too.”

A wide-eyes Sharon whispers, “You remember?”

As his lips lower, Adam replies, “I remember everything.” #shadam

#shadam make love, spending most of the day in bed.

Sharon updates him Faith leaving and on Reys drinking, affair, and the divorce. Tells him Victoria is w/ Rey @ hospital.

She can’t stand the thought of losing him and wants to try...

He says, “I can’t” 1/2

2/2 #shadam

Sharon is wounded until Adam tells her about Connor. He has to be the father the boy deserves. “Please tell me you understand....”

“Of course I do. I could never fault you for putting your son first. I’ll stay away.”

“It’s just for now.”

Or is it?

To be continued.... #shadam #shey #shylan #teamsharon

To distract herself from yet another failed marriage and her separation from Adam, Sharon enrolls in a PhD program online. After staying study late at CL, Sharon gets an eerie sense that she is being watched, but when she goes to look, sees no one. #shadam

Sharon, shaken, hightails it home. When she arrives at her front door, she is startled to find Adam waiting for her. “What are you...?” she asks.

“I couldn’t stay away,” he admits.

She sighs in relief, but looks around nervously. “Let’s get inside.” #shadam

Once they are inside, Sharon locks the deadbolt and peeks out the window, worrying Adam.

“What’s going on? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she deflects as she turns from the window and drops her backpack on the floor.

“Sharon, you’re shaking. Clearly something is wrong.” #shadam@

Sharon gestures for him to precede her into the LR and explains the eerie feeling of being watched. “It was probably nothing,” she shrugs as she moves to stand in front of him.

“Or not,” he says concernedly, putting his hands on her shoulders and pulling her close. #shadam

“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Sharon responds. She brings her hands up to his chest and lays them on his ❤️. “What are you doing here? I thought you were staying away for Connor.”

“This month has been hell without you. I’ve missed you so much. I had to see you.” #shadam

HMM... I think I need to move this to a Google doc so I can do full dialogue, etc.

Or do you like the summary scenes? #shadam
