So let me arrive at the point: You don't GIVE a character a debilitating syndrome and NOT have it actually effect them as a weakness. Or if you do then it's just a waste of time. Why show us so many scene's of Yang freaking the fuck out when she thinks she sees Adam just to have her not go through anything like that when she actually sees him? It's a poor writing decision. The ONLY remedy at this point is she still has the shakes and nightmares. If this is it then it was a COMPLETE waste of writing potential. Hence my other deliberate word choice of calling the episode not awful, but disappointing. However, they could remedy this by expanding it further at the next volume. With Adam gone, they can worry about him no more, and that means Yang could start doing a step forward in recovery. Not immediately, or course, but realistically, she can since her stressor and/or source of trauma was removed. "The ONLY remedy at this point is she still has the shakes and nightmares" I agree completely. I still think it's wasted potential - one or two shifts in the chain of events could have led to a FAR more impactful end - but you're right. It's the only way to justify all this time spent on it, if you ask me.
