Ashley Miscarries!
After Adam dresses like the late Sabrina, a terrified Ashley falls down the stairs of the Newman Ranch and is knocked unconscious. Unfortunately, things continue to get worse for the frazzled mother-to-be when she miscarries the baby she's been carrying.
Adam tries to cover up the incident by putting a knocked-out Ashley in her bed and burning her nightgown, which is covered in blood. Meanwhile, Nikki lets herself into the house and is startled when Ashley wakes up, terrified and screaming. Adam rushes to Ashley's side and convinces her that she only had a bad dream. Later, Adam has a doctor examine Ashley, and the doctor assures her that both she and her baby are alright.
In private, the doctor tells Adam that Ashley actually lost her baby. Adam blackmails the doctor into keeping the bad news from everyone else.
"The thing about Adam is, he isn't entirely without a conscience," notes co-Head Writer Scott Hamner. "He does feel badly about some of the things he's done, but that doesn't stop him from going through with his plans. In many ways, he's his father's son in that he goes after what he wants at any cost."
By week's end, Adam is spooked when Ashley excitedly announces to everyone that she can feel her baby kicking.
