Sonny again about backing Deception.
He’ll agree as long as Carly’s involved. Carly stops two thugs from

being so hard on her when she brought up Mike.
He tells her about his meeting with Laura and promises that he’ll get
her what she wants (meaning Deception).

desperate for anything because she has him.
Carly gets herself
appointed Alexis’ matron of honour by being at the right place at the wrong
time. Carly and Elton meet. Carly goes to Lila for help with the bridal
shower and advice about Sonny and Mike.
Carly encourages
Sonny to tack down Mike. He refuses,
saying Mike will show up when he needs money.

Mike asks for money proving Sonny right. Carly gives him enough to live on, but not enough to gamble. Carly arranges for Mike and Tammy to
meet. While Tammy is thanking her in
Kelly’s, Michael wanders off. Sonny and
Sorel meet. Sorel demands that Sonny
take care of Zander and remove Alexis from the case against him. Sonny goes to see Roy at the club. Laura arrives and they discuss Deception but
she still refuses Sonny’s conditions.
After she leaves, Sonny and Luke have a confrontation. A frantic Carly searches for Michael only to
find him by the docks, safe with Laura.
Upset, Carly begs Laura not to tell Sonny she lost Michael, thinking he
won’t forgive her. Back at the
penthouse, Sonny demands that Carly tell him what has her so distressed. After Carly tells him the truth, a very
understanding and supportive Sonny comforts his wife.
Carly thanks Laura
for saving Michael and for giving her the good advice to tell Sonny the
truth. She offers to ask Sonny to back
Deception without the condition of her involvement. Tammy tells Sonny that
Mike’s in town and that Carly’s the one that told her. Sonny has Carly followed to her next meeting
with Mike where he overhears her giving Mike money. Later, Sonny confronts Carly about her helping his father against
his wishes. She says she’s doing it for
him and that she hopes he respects her enough to let her keep doing it.

a disastrous bridal shower. After the
guests leave Alexis tells Carly the fiasco wasn’t her fault and that she
appreciated her efforts. After Emily

Sorel. Laura finally agrees to Sonny’s
terms and asks him to back Deception.
When he tells Carly, she is ecstatic and vows to make him proud of her.

had hoped that her mother would put her first for once. Sorel’s men attack Carly after having gone
to Jake’s to seek out Mike. Sonny
arrives before any serious harm can be done.
He arranges for Mike to be taken care of and brings Carly home. Carly denies the men were Sorel’s. Sonny is angry that she put herself in
danger again and admits that he needs her and can’t loose her. She says she needs him too and that she’s
not going anywhere. The next day, the

school altogether. After a long talk,
Carly convinces him otherwise.
Carly sets up a
meeting for Sonny and Mike in the park.
Sonny, upset at the ambush, asks her not to do it again. She agrees and suggests they go out to
celebrate her promise. On their way out
to dinner, they encounter Sorel who threatens Sonny. Sonny reassures Carly that as long as she’s safe, he’s safe.
Because the
situation with Sorel is intensifying, Sonny ensures that Carly doesn’t leave
the penthouse without her guard, and also warns Mike to be careful. Carly overhears Benny saying that Sorel will
try to kill Sonny because he’s protecting Zander. The two men make light of the conversation for Carly’s
benefit. Carly asks Sonny to tell her
that he’s not in danger. He does. She then tries to finagle Sonny’s 1% away
but he refuses. When Carly reveals her

getting the penthouse decorated for Christmas, Sonny tells Carly that he has to
go Puerto Rico on business. Carly
reluctantly says goodbye with a promise from Sonny to be back by
Christmas.

Laura as her choice for the “Face of Deception.” Laura is not pleased and the
two argue. When Laura learns how
worried Carly is about Sonny’s business trip, the two bond over their similar
circumstances. Emily asks Carly to get
Sonny back into own because Sorel is threatening Zander in jail. Alexis makes
the same request after Sorel threatens her in the park.
After spending a
week in Puerto Rico, Sonny surprises Carly when he arrives home just in time
for Christmas. As she is about to
express her true feelings to him, Alexis barges in and asks him to bail Zander
out of jail. Carly and Michael go ahead
to the GH Christmas party and wait for Sonny to join them. Carly talks with Bobbie about how well
things are going for her and Sonny and that she doesn’t want to jinx it by
telling him she loves him. At the PCPD,
Sorel has a different kind of Christmas surprise in store for Sonny: a
hit. Both Sonny and Zander are
shot. Before he loses consciousness,
Sonny asks Alexis to tell Carly that he loves her. After Alexis conveys the message, Carly spends the night by
Sonny’s beside where she tells him that she loves him too but that he must wake
up so that she can tell him to his face.
Even though Sonny
survived surgery, his condition is very unstable. After a visit from Mike, Sonny goes into cardiac arrest as Carly
talks to him. While his heart is
stopped, Sonny sees Lily and his children in heaven but can’t stay with them
because he doesn’t want to leave Carly.
After the crisis, Sonny wakes and tells Carly that he came back for
her. The two finally express their love
for each other after a disagreement about Carly’s trying to get involved in his
business.

back to giving orders and discussing business.

life. The two admit that despite the
odds against it, they are truly fond of each other. As they are discussing Alexis’ and Ned relationship, Carly walks
in and tells Alexis they should skip the therapy sessions for that day. Mike comes by for a visit and tells Sonny
he’s been worried and that glad he’s alive.
After Mike leaves, Carly spins a fantasy about what life will be like
for them once Sonny comes home. Since
neither of them are going anywhere, they’ll have the rest of their lives to
drive each other crazy.
