Burnt / int_1053b44e	type	Therapy Is for the Weak
Burnt / int_1053b44e	comment	Therapy Is for the Weak: Adam has to take weekly drug tests administered by Tony's psychologist, and repeatedly refuses to attend her group therapy sessions, presumably because he doesn't want to admit that he's messed up and in need of help. Him showing up for a group session following his Heroic BSoD is a major sign of his Character Development.

What seemingly entices Tony to allow Adam take over his restaurant is that it's his last chance to make his dying father proud of him again. However, it's later revealed that he did it not for his father, but rather for Adam, who he has a crush on.

This establishes that Adam is a fairly self-centered character who only cares about his own goals and isnâ€™t concerned about the impact his actions have on others.
