Storylines[]
Sage first appears on October 28, as a mysterious woman who is following Chelsea Lawson. Sage watches Chelsea as she says goodbye to her presumed dead husband, Adam Newman in a chapel. Sage waits until Chelsea leaves and then she is seen walking into the chapel and retrieving the handkerchief Chelsea left there for Adam.
Sage is later seen with Adam in an undisclosed location. She tells Adam that she anonymously game the handkerchief back to Chelsea. She also tells him Billy has moved in with Chelsea. Adam angrily pushes over a tray and tries to get up, but Sage tells him he has to take it easy since he is still recovering from surgery.
Sage found Adam on the floor and helped him get back into bed. She told a guy that was helping him that his services were no longer required and paid him. Adam asked Sage to help him get back to his family, but Sage injected Adam with a sedative and promised he could see his family soon. Sage wheeled in Constance Bingham who thought that Adam was her grandson, Gabriel, who had helped Adam Newman escape the fire explosion. Adam was so adamant on getting home and insisted that the doctor take the bandages off his face. Sage had the doctor remove them and Adam looked in the mirror and realized he got plastic surgery. Constance claimed Adam Newman did not deserve to be saved. Constance and Sage arranged Adam a large meal in the cabin. Constance asked how it was and Adam (Gabriel) stated it was good but he's not big on the spinach. Constance was astonished because spinach was his (Gabriel's) favorite. Adam pretended to remember and ate some more. Adam kept wanting to leave quickly but Sage tried to stop him, insisting that he has to pretend to be her grandson if he wants to leave.
Sage discovers Adam's half-brother, Nick Newman, stuck in a bear trap in the middle of the woods after he went to his cabin to get away. Sage comforts him and runs back to the cabin to get Adam. They both return and Sage tries to help him but Adam insists on not helping and leaving. Sage is confused, since Adam wanted to be less selfish and asked if he knew him and Adam admit that Nick is his half-brother. Sage rescued Nick and called 911.

"Victoria, Sage wanted you to have a photo that she took of you and Nick that she had framed. She says, "Being an only child, I was deeply moved by the bond Nick shared with his sister. This photo is a symbol of how fortunate they are to have such an extraordinary relationship, one that should never be taken for granted. Since I can't be there to comfort my husband, I'm counting on you, Victoria".
"For Faith, Sage left the necklace Nick gave her on their Wedding Day. She says, "I'm leaving one of my most treasured possessions to the daughter I always hoped to have".
"Sharon, Sage also left something for Sully. The vintage toy car that Victor gave Christian. She says, "My little boy would have loved that car. I want Sully to have it as a token of my gratitude and affection because he was such a solace to me after losing Christian".
"Nick, Sage left the remainder of her estate to you. She also left this letter." Nick opens the letter and read it aloud to everyone.
"Dear Nick, I hope you won't have to read this for many many years. No matter when it happens, I don't have many personal belongings to leave you. Not that you need it but there are 3 things I want to give you. 1 more I Love You. 1 more reminder of our beautiful memories. 1 more thank you, not only to you, but to your family and to the friends who embraced me. They gave me the life and home and I always dreamed of having and I will be eternally grateful for that. Never lose that amazing optimism which got us both through the worst of times. You never stopped telling me we could find happiness again. So here is my final request. Keep telling yourself that now. Because you deserve happiness, Nick. So go find it. Yours, then now and always, Sage".
Michael announces, "The only thing remaining now is a letter. It's addressed to Adam". Adam takes the letter and informs everyone, "It says for your eyes only". He gets nervous fearing that Sage may announce that he was the biological father of her son Christian Newman. Adam apologizes for not sharing the contents of the letter but he wants to honor Sage's wishes for confidentiality. He tells Nick, "I won't say I'm sorry for your loss but I will say I'm angry. I'm angry that she never got a chance to grow old or raise that family that she wanted".
Sage Reveals a Secret to Adam[]
Adam and Chelsea return to their penthouse and Adam reads Sage's letter. He is shocked by the contents and tells Chelsea, "Oh My God! Sage knew I was Christian's father! She figured it out after he died". He reads Sage's letter, "The way you reacted when Christian died, your grief, it was like looking in a mirror, Adam. I realized you must have changed the paternity test results. I should have been furious but I was grateful. I'm writing now to thank you for keeping this secret and not ruining my marriage and to ask you to never come forward with what you know. Adam, please. For my sake, don't hurt Nick!".
Adam is stunned, "She knew this whole time but she never said a word". Chelsea wonders, "Sage didn't want to acknowledge you were Christian's father until after her death. She wanted that kept secret. But she called you from the car before her accident and needed to talk to you about Christian, so what about him?".
Adam responds, "I don't know. Maybe she discovered something new about the baby? What could it be? Whatever it is Sage wanted to tell me died with her".
Adam burns Sage's letter in the fireplace.

Sharon went off her meds, hoping to that the delusions of Sage would go away, but they only got worse.

Mariah told her she needs to go back on them, and also told Sharon these delusions are caused by a guilty conscious. "Sage" continue to taunt Sharon about being a horrible mother and getting locked up in Fairview. Desperate, Sharon grabbed a bookend and went to hit "Sage", but hit Mariah instead. As Sharon tried desperately to revive Mariah, "Sage" asked Sharon how many more people is she going to hurt.
Personality[]
Sage fell in love with her longtime best friend, Gabriel Bingham. After being newly wed, he died trying to save Adam Newman out of a burning car. Sage found Adam and brought him to Constance's cabin. She hired a plastic surgeon to make Adam look identical to Gabe so she wouldn't have to tell her guardian, Constance Bingham, that her grandson is dead. She kept tabs on Adam's wife, Chelsea Newman, and his son, Connor. Legally Sage was his wife for the inheritance. Adam demanded to reunite with his family which Sage agreed to, arriving at the athletic club. Adam was angered that Chelsea moved on with Billy Abbott, the man that tried to kill him that night after Adam accidentally ran down his daughter, Delia. Sage played Adam's wife while Adam slowly worked his way into Chelsea's life as "Gabe". After Sage saved Nick from a bear trap, she met up with him and began to fall in love with him, later discovering Nick is Adam's half-brother.
Since Sage was never really important to anybody, she valued her relationship with Nick and wanted it to be something real. Sage had a one-night stand with Adam when Nick breaks up with her briefly to go back to Sharon. Nick and Sage get back together shortly after, with Sage keeping the secret. When she becomes pregnant, she devotes her life to Nick and being a mother to her child. When Adam finds out, he questions her about the paternity, but Sage insists it's Nick's. Sage marries Nick shortly afterwards. Sage hears the rumors about Victor being involved in the lives of the Newmans' spouses and their children and becomes paranoid. Her pregnancy made her very emotional since she thought she couldn't conceive. She was happy that she gives birth to Christian although he's premature. He doesn't make it and Sage becomes very upset and hurt. This affects her marriage to Nick and eventually makes her very angry inside.
