* DumbassHasAPoint: He makes a good point that while he and Shauna had a pretty shameful start to their relationship, they were only teenagers so of course they didn't have the best judgment.



* FirstGirlWins: He's now married to Shauna, who he had sex with - and presumably lost his virginity to - as a teenager.

Adam is, at worst, using her for her fame, and at best, a mysterious but ultimately pretty normal guy who was interested in Shauna's life. He's not a "he had it coming" kind of murder at all


* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:It seems he was not blackmailing Shauna and so [[DisproportionateRetribution he didn't really deserve to die]], but considering his lies and creepy behavior it's hard to mourn him overly.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Of the Abara-Turner family. Taissa is a ''literally'' power-hungry dog-killer and Sammy is traumatized by it, showing violent behavior. That just leaves Simone.



* NiceGuy: Kevyn seems like one of the few genuine nice characters on the series. It's too bad for him he hooked up with Natalie, who is seemingly irreparably damaged by her time in the woods.
