I could never understand that they just sent him into the next room and that was it. Maybe the Professor is still hiding him there!! I would have thought they could have had even a 1 minute scene where Adam would refuse to stay, Stokes would perhaps give him some money, or at least a bit of food, and wish him luck and send him out into the world. It's really weird that after that whole story, they just dropped it like that.
As to Adam, I always liked him. From his frightened and confused beginnings, to starting to learn, to the progress he made with Stokes and later Carolyn, and then his relationship with her. All very good. Even coming under Nicholas' control could have been interesting. But, especially once Eve was on the scene, one just kept getting the same conversations over and over between Nicholas and Adam, Nicholas and Eve, and Adam and Eve (except for the one time she did play it up). I was always so frustrated that they ruined a very promising story.
