Carly asks Sonny to
forgive her for lying to him. Angry, Sonny tells her that she can ask him for
money, protection, a roof over her head, anything, but she can forget about
forgiveness. Jason unexpectedly arrives
at the penthouse to be met by Carly.
Carly tells him that she and Sonny lost their baby and about the mess
she’s gotten Sonny in. Alexis tells
Sonny that in order to avoid jail, he must marry Carly to prevent her from
testifying. Sonny categorically refuses
but reconsiders when he finds out that Jason’s returned and he sees him with
Carly and Michael.
Carly tells Sonny
that now that Jason’s back everything will be ok because he steadies her. Sonny appears angry that’s she already
building her life around Jason and she wants to know why he’s not relieved that
she isn’t his obligation anymore. As
Jason and Sonny talk, Jason realizes that Sonny has gotten used to Carly and
that there is more to their relationship than Sonny is willing to admit. Sonny tells Jason about Alexis’ idea that he
and Carly marry. Jason admits he
expected them to already be married. He
wants both Sonny and Carly safe and says that their marriage wouldn’t hurt him
if they went through with it. Carly
goes to Lila for advice and says she just wants everyone to be happy. She thinks that for Sonny, that means being
rid of her and that her, Jason and Michael can be a family again.
Carly tells Jason
about the incident at the Nurses Ball and how Sonny took care of her on the
island. Jason realizes that Carly wants
to be with Sonny. Carly asks Jason to
leave town with her and Michael. He
convinces her that it would be better to wait. Alexis tells Sonny he now has
another option: he can have Jason take Carly and Michael permanently out of the
country. Carly tells Sonny that the
perfect solution to their problems would be for her, Jason and Michael leave
and become a family again. He tells her
that’s not going to happen because she’s going to marry him instead. Carly tells Sonny that she won’t marry him
because the next time she gets married, it will be for love.
Jason asks Sonny if
he’s going to marry Carly after Alexis tells him he could take Carly and
Michael out of the country. Jason
admits that he loves Carly and says that he’ll take them away if that’s what
Sonny wants but that that’s not the life he wants for them. Sonny finally allows Mike in to apologize
and yells at him for putting Carly in danger.
Carly goes to Jakes and asks Jason to leave the country with her that
night. Jason refuses because of
Sonny. Given the choice of being with
a man who doesn’t want her or, being with a man who wants to marry her to stay
out of jail, Carly agrees to marry Sonny since he’s the one who’s in it for
himself.
Carly tells Sonny
she worries about him after he requests a meeting with Sorel to discuss Emily’s
kidnapping. She wants him to let Jason
handle things. Carly and Bobbie talk
about her pending nuptials. Bobbie
tells her that she must decide who she wants to be with and let the other one
go. Carly describes the marriage as a legal manoeuvre and nothing else. Alexis arrives and informs Carly and Sonny that the
marriage either takes place now or never.
Carly asks Sonny for
reassurance that they were ok before and can be again. Sonny admits that’s what he wants too. Carly wears the dress Sonny bought her
on the island for the ceremony. Jason
arrives and agrees to give Carly away and act as best man. Carly panics during the ceremony, stops the
proceedings and runs upstairs. Jason
convinces her that Sonny wants this marriage and bets her 20 bucks that the two
of them will be happy together. Sonny
overhears Carly agree to marry him but she says she’ll do it for Jason. When Carly and Jason return downstairs, the
ceremony goes off without a hitch.
Afterwards, Jason tells Sonny that Carly is in love with him and that’s
why she’s been acting so crazy. When
Jason and Alexis leave, Sonny makes Carly a wedding dinner and thanks her for
saving his behind.
Carly and Sonny both
make plans for a special evening together.
She surprises him with take out from the Grille as a thank you. After a toast, they dance together for the
first time. Carly discovers a case in
Sonny’s breast pocket and he reveals that it’s for her. Carly is touched when she opens it to find a
necklace with a ruby pendent. She is
shocked that he would buy her something like that and he wonders why since she
is his wife. They kiss passionately but
stop when she drops the jewel case on her foot. After dinner, they begin to make love but Carly stops them,
unsure that it’s a good idea for them to become lovers again so soon. Sonny says that he can wait and that she’s
worth it. He tells her that he’ll miss
her and then they bid each other good night.
Mike gives Sonny and
Carly a wedding present. Sonny is upset
when he reveals that he knows Mike borrowed ten thousand dollars from one of
his loan sharks to pay for it. They
have a terrible argument that ends when Mike hits Sonny and Carly throws Mike
out. Carly tries to help Sonny but he shuts her out. Hurt at his rebuff, Carly goes to Jason and says that the
marriage was a mistake because Sonny doesn’t need her like a man should need
his wife. Jason convinces her to give
Sonny space and that he will come to her when he is ready. Sonny vows to make things up to Carly and
after a talk with Jason he thinks he knows just how. At the penthouse, Carly admits to Bobbie that she’s in love with
Sonny. When he comes home, he tells her
that they’re getting an annulment and that he’s asked Alexis to start the paper
work. Alexis however, tells them they
have to remain married until the end of the trial. Carly says they’ll work it out.
Sonny tells Carly that he wants her to be with a man that she loves
because that’s what she deserves. Carly
says that she’s willing to wait. Sonny
tells her she’s a good person despite all the trouble she makes.
In order to change
his mind about the annulment, Carly attempts to seduce Sonny. She is unsuccessful when he resists her
advances and goes up to bed alone.
Carly and Sonny plan a date out at the “No Name.” Sonny jokes that he owes her at least one
dinner before their marriage is over.
Alexis tells Carly that the charges against Sonny have been dropped and
that they can end their marriage anytime.
Carly deliberately keeps this information from Sonny and goes with him
when he announces that he’s going to the police station. In the limo Carly tries to seduce Sonny
again, and is successful this time. She
is upset when she learns Sonny knew the charges were dropped but didn’t say anything.
After they argue, both admit they want to be together and that they want their
marriage to work. When Benny tells
Sonny he has pressing matters in Puerto Rico to address, Sonny reluctantly
agrees to send Jason in his stead.
Carly
and Sonny settle down into a comfortable married life. When she sees that he’s still hurting over
the incident with Mike she offers to help.
He confides in her that he was never bad enough for Mike to hit him
before. Carly wants to do something for
him and offers to cook. With
trepidation, Sonny allows her into his kitchen. Dinner is a disaster but Sonny doesn’t mind. Her wanting to help him was enough. Carly is
grateful that Sonny allowed her to help him.
Carly helps a
nervous Sonny through Michael’s first day of pre-school. Carly tries to land herself a job in Sonny
warehouse. He is unenthusiastic about
the idea. Carly asks Bobbie for a job
at Kelly’s. Bobbie says no. Carly says she wants to prove to Sonny that
she’s with him because she wants to be, not because she’s dependent on
him. Sonny says she doesn’t have to
prove anything to him. Carly wants to
anyways. Carly asks Alexis if she needs
an assistant. Alexis says no and
suggest that Carly check out the Classifieds.
Laura approaches Sonny to be a backer for Deception, a cosmetics
company. Sonny says he’ll back her as
long as Carly’s involved. Laura
declines. Carly is hurt that Laura
rejected her without even knowing her.
Carly and Sonny take
Michael to Bobbie’s for a Halloween party.
Sonny is called away on business.
When she returns home, Carly finds Mike lurking in the hallway outside
the penthouse.
