with a potentially deadly blaze when Adam and Sharon return home with Ashley
in tow after dining together at the Genoa City Athletic Club. The trio is
horrified to find Sharon’s house on fire. Since Eden and Noah were supposed
to be out on a date together, Sharon is initially relieved that the place is
empty, but then she spots her son’s car in the driveway and fears that he is
inside. Sharon’s first inclination is to run inside, but Adam volunteers
for rescue duty, which seems ill-advised since he has limited eyesight. But
Adam states that his heightened sense of smell will help him locate anyone
in trouble. Adam dashes in and is able to find Noah and Eden, who is
already unconscious from smoke inhalation. The teens are carried to safety
and rushed to the hospital. Of course, Sharon is grateful for her husband’s
heroics, which helps further convince her that getting married was the right
thing to do. Eden and Noah quickly recover and recall being upstairs in his
bedroom when the fire started. The fire department determines that a
curtain was ignited by a burning candle, but Eden is sure that she blew out
all the candles before she went upstairs. Sharon learns her house is
uninhabitable and must be extensively repaired before anyone can move back
in. That’s when Ashley suggests that Adam, Sharon and Noah move to the
ranch. The fact that Sharon, who everyone believes has recently lost a
baby, would be spending time around Faith doesn’t concern Ashley. Sharon is
touched by Ashley’s kind offer, but has reservations about accepting.
Ashley is thrilled about having houseguests, although Adam frets about how
the new living arrangements will put Sharon in very close proximity to her
baby. Luckily for Adam, his wife doesn’t pick up on his unease. Nick finds
out that his nefarious brother saved Noah’s life and thanks Adam. After
Sharon, Noah and Adam relocate to the ranch, Sharon can’t stay away from
Faith, which rattles Ashley. Of course, Adam is in a quiet panic, which
Ashley detects but dismisses. When Sharon is alone, Nick arrives at the
ranch to find his ex holding Ashley’s baby. Sharon notices that Faith
smiles upon hearing Nick’s voice and when the wee one becomes fussy, she
makes another curious discovery. Faith’s crying sounds exactly like Noah’s
did when he was that age. Sharon chalks it up to being part of the Newman
gene pool. After Nick departs, Adam and Sharon discuss the turbulence that
has already plagued their short marriage. Sharon then declares how much she
loves Adam, but he shouldn’t get too comfy in their marital bliss because
someone from his all-too-troubled past is about to make a very unexpected
visit.

memory, Sharon apologizes to her ex via e-mail. When Adam invites himself
over, Sharon stresses that they need to take their budding relationship
slow. When Sharon steps away, Adam sees the e-mail she sent Nick – and
pretending to be her, invites Nick over so that he can catch them together.
Then things heat up between Sharon and Adam. Nick arrives and is horrified
to see the pair having sex. When he accuses Sharon of letting Adam
manipulate her, Adam tells Nick off. Later, Nick confronts Adam about being
with Sharon. Adam reminds Nick that he is married and Adam can give Sharon
