[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 164263, member: 27"] Once I realized that Adam had not murdered Steven with that injection in the final scene of that episode, I assumed he'd done what you describe--given him something that pushed him even further over the edge. Perhaps Steven had just been emotionally exhausted and strung out when he landed in the sanitarium, and he would have gotten better quickly after resting and detox-ing. But after Adam drugged him, maybe he became catatonic or something that mimics a vegetative state--something that keeps him from being a 'problem' for Adam. It would have been just as easy for Adam to kill him, but he chose not to, so maybe Adam doesn't totally hate him. Though I hate the way no one even mentions Steven or the need to go visit or get him well again, I see the writers' reasoning for the lack of mention: if they keep Steven on viewers' minds, they will have to address his fate in a more conclusive way, and I don't think they are willing to do that yet. Out of sight, out of mind, they hope. And having his fate left open, they can bring him back anytime they want, or just never mention him again. Y'never know with these people. Too bad, because he would be a much better hotel manager than Selfie Sam. [/QUOTE]
