Adam's world looks set to fall apart on Christmas Day when Peter reveals that he's punished Billy for his part in Susan's demise.
And the situation gets even worse when Rosie hands Adam a letter written by Todd and meant for Billy that reveals he's done a disappearing act with Summer until the heat dies down.
Convinced that it's proof Todd knew of Billy's part in Susan's death, Adam's furious and sets fire to the letter, determined that Billy will never read it.
