So maybe it would be a good idea that Adam doesn't follow them, though I'm certain Salem won't let his immense failure slide, and have her agents bring him right to her to explain what went wrong. And should it come to that, it won't be pretty for the angsty bullheaded buffoon. Not at all. Actually, the implication was worse than that. Because Hazel was present, he was essentially the scapegoat for the murder of Sienna in case anyone found out... which makes him potentially worthless as an ambassador for a new leader.

Essentially, doing what Adam did when he did it was a form of entrapment for Salem's forces, making them specifically beholden to him rather than allies of the WF who can bargain with the organization as a whole.
