Adam's on his last rope in terms of what he can do for the plot of the show/what kinds of conflict he can generate. He was unhinged last volume, but he's so far gone beyond any redemption this volume that there's no way back from his desperation.

I think we're going to see him be much more of a threat this volume than he was last volume (i.e. he'll fight a lot), so that's good, but I don't see anywhere he could go beyond continuing to make Blake's life miserable. But the thing is- he can't do that anymore. She's over him, or very close to it. Yang isn't, but that's going to change by the end of the volume with the way things are looking. Either he dies or he lives knowing a moral defeat he can never break out of.

Personally, I wonder if anyone is going to pull the final trigger on him. Yang might, but I don't know if that's too good of an idea? Nobody on Team RWBY has actually killed anyone before. (Ruby fought Torchwick, but a Gryphon killed him.)
