Bobbie and Roy rush
to the scene after hearing of the penthouse explosion. In the ruins of PH4, Carly desperately
searches for any sign of her husband.
Bobbie and Roy try to convince her to leave the scene, believing that
Sonny is most likely dead. Carly
refuses and continues to search for her husband. She finds Sorel instead.
Roy stops her from finishing what Sonny started when she tries to kill
the man who held her hostage. Sonny
later emerges from the safety of the kitchen where he survived the blast. He and Carly share some nice intimate
moments. Realizing Sorel hurt her,
Sonny is protective of her while at the same time he pushes her away – this
time for her safety. They argue and as Carly moves to leave the penthouse she
faints. They rush her to the hospital
to make sure she is OK. About to see
Carly, Roy stops Sonny, blaming him for her injuries. Sonny instead goes to check up on Zander and Alexis. Outside Zander’s room, Sonny spots Angel
sitting with Sorel in his hospital room.
Carly asks for Sonny from her hospital bed but Bobbie tells her he is
not coming. Carly says she knows he
still loves her and vows not to give up on their love.
The next day, Carly
wakes Zander from a nightmare and thanks him for saving her life. Leaving his room, she spots Sorel and tries
to get in his room. Tony stops her and
AJ intercedes on her behalf. AJ makes
her a deal: he will back off of custody
for Michael if she will leave Sonny.
All she has to do is bring Michael home. Carly declines his offer.
They begin to argue and Skye makes her first appearance to Carly, in the
guise as an ally against AJ.
Sonny visits Angel
at the cottage wanting to know why she visited Sorel. She says she wanted to know if she could see any of the man she
used to know in the hospital bed before her.
She informs him Sorel is a stranger to her now and that he is nothing to
her. She asks if Sonny is going back to
his wife. He tells her no but he is
going back to the business. He gives
her the angel figurine that Carly gave him.
Carly and Sonny are
separately brought into the PCPD to give their statements about the
explosion. Taggert accuses Sonny of
starting a street war and moving into Sorel’s territory. He wants to lay charges against Sonny for
attempted murder of Joseph Sorel. Carly
says if Sonny is guilty, she is too.
She explains the ordeal she went through, how Sorel threatened her and
how she repeatedly tried to kill him to save herself. Taggert does not press charges against Carly and Dara informs him
the PCPD could end up looking bad if they pursue the case against Sonny. They are both free to go. Sonny leaves without a word to Carly.
He visits Sorel in
the hospital, and moves to kill him for terrorizing his wife. Angel stops him imploring him not to kill
Sorel. A medical emergency brings the
hospital staff to the room and they are forced to leave. They discuss the move Sonny is making on
Sorel’s territory and how people that she knew are dying. Sonny invites her dinner but Angel takes a
raincheck.
Bobbie brings Carly
back to the brownstone to stay with her.
She tries to convince Carly they have no future together and that she
needs to move on with her life. She
tells her she must put the safety of her child first. Mike arrives and tells Carly Sonny’s pride and his trust may
never let him forgive her. Carly says
things would have been different if their child had loved or if they had
children. Excited, she leaves in a
rush, not telling then where she is going.
Mike warns Bobbie not to alienate her daughter: if she does, Carly may not come to her when
she needs her the most.
She goes to the
warehouse where she excitedly tells Sonny she is pregnant. He is visibly upset, thinking their child
may have been hurt by the explosion.
Carly says she’s fine and that she must be pregnant because that
explains the symptoms she is having.
Catching her phrasing, Sonny realizes she does not know for sure and
accuses her of inventing a child to get him back. They argue and Sonny tells her not to come back until she has
taken a test. Carly says she doesn’t
have to: she knows she is pregnant.
Carly buys a
pregnancy test kit and fantasizes about having a child with Sonny. Angel shows up the warehouse with dinner and
her and Sonny enjoy a quiet meal together.
The evening is interrupted when Mike arrives announcing Carly’s
pregnancy. Angel understands that if
Carly is pregnant, Sonny will go back to her because he will not turn his back
on his child.
At the penthouse, Sonny
encounters Carly who is looking for Michael’s old baby clothes. He asks if she has taken the test yet. She hasn’t.
She tells him she will today and that the answer will be Bobbie’s
birthday present – proof that she will be a grandmother again. Sonny pesters her about her eating
habits. She agrees to eat better and
that she will take the test.
At the Brownstone,
Skye appears and again offers to help Carly against AJ. Carly tells her she is pregnant and that her
and Sonny are reconciling. When Bobbie
arrives, she learns Carly has taken the test but that it was negative. Carly denies the results of the test are
correct and continues to believe she is pregnant. Bobbie tries to convince her this is for the best – she has no
permanent ties to Sonny and she can start her life without him. Carly leaves to go to the hospital to get an
official test.
Alexis confides in
Sonny about her mother’s death and asks him to steal a necklace that was hers
that Helena is selling. Sonny offers to
buy it for her but she says no. Angel
later arrives and tells Sonny that if Carly isn’t pregnant, she wants to pursue
a relationship between them.
At the hospital,
Carly runs into Angel and tells her she is pregnant and that her and her
husband are getting back together.
Sonny arrives and Carly introduces him to Angel. The two pretend not to know each other. Sonny asks if she has taken the test and she
says she is on her way to see Dr Meadows now.
After she leaves, Sonny accuses Angel of playing Carly. She denies it and leaves.
Dr Meadows informs
Carly she is not pregnant but she is concerned about Carly’s condition. Upset, Carly leaves and finds Sonny watching
the babies in the maternity ward. She tries
to tell him she is not pregnant but she can’t.
When he asks for a second time, it is Bobbie who answers telling him
Carly is not pregnant and that she knows it.
Carly and Bobbie argue and Carly tells her to stay out of her life. She goes after Sonny and they argue some
more. She pulls the plug on Sorel’s
respirator trying to convince him that she loves him. Angel covers for her saying she tripped on the cord. Sonny and Carly fight some more. Upset, Carly leaves and finagles and
invitation to Angel’s cottage for the night.
Bobbie advises Sonny that if he wants to end things with Carly, he needs
to forgive her and let her go. Otherwise, not forgiving her is a way of holding
on to her.
Mike defends Carly
to Sonny but he will hear none of it.
Mike tells him to get off his high horse and to admit he’s not as perfect
as he would have everyone think. Carly
spends the morning at the lake house with Angel. They talk and Carly tells Angel she should go after the man she
wants, even if it’s complicated. Carly
does not realize the man in Angel’s life is Sonny.
Sonny arrives at the
cabin, almost running into Carly. He
tells Angel to get rid of Carly, he needs to talk. After Carly leaves, Sonny lets Angel know he knows who she is: Sorel’s daughter. She does not deny it.
Sonny is suspicious of her actions regarding him and she explains that
she saved him by impulse – like she could not save her husband.
Carly invites Skye
to her hotel room to discuss teaming up against AJ. Instinctively, Carly backs out of the alliance but changes her
mind again when AJ shows up and Skye agrees to testify that he is drinking
again. After Skye leaves, her and AJ
meet in the hall and it is revealed that they are in on this together.
A frantic Bobbie
calls Carly over to the brownstone to show Carly a message Sorel has left for
her: first the kid, then you. At the warehouse, we learn Sorel has
targeted Emily in her hospital room.
Sonny decides Sorel dies this night.
He is not the only one to come to this conclusion: one by one the
citizens of Port Charles appear in Sorel’s room, telling him his days and hours
are numbered. First Zander in response
to for Sorel’s attack on Emily. Then
Alan who assures Sorel his child will never spend another night in danger. Next is Melissa who found pictures of
Michael, Carly, Zander and Emily on one of his hit men. She reveals to Sorel he is responsible for
her brother Leo’s death. She closes the
valve on his respirator, suffocating him.
She explains that’s how Leo died – suffocating on his own blood due to
the stab wounds. Realizing what she has
done, she turns the respirator back on and leaves. Monica is Sorel’s next visitor and comments that there is
something to be said about a victim that can’t run away. Max, Sonny’s hit man
arrives on the scene and makes ready to get to work. At the hospital, AJ overhears Carly tell Mike there is a hit on
Michael and that she pulled the plug on him before. A montage of Sorel’s murder and all the possible suspects: Zander, Alan, Monica, AJ, Carly, Max (for
Sonny), Roy, Melissa, Mike and Angel.
The next morning,
Sonny wakes Carly who has fallen asleep in office at the warehouse. She tells him she had to see him after last
night. He is upset she spent the night
there unprotected. She tells him about
the pictures of Michael found on Sorel’s hit man. He is upset that Carly was in the hospital last night where
people could see her. He tells her she
should have gone to the hotel and let him handle things. She says she couldn’t because he shut her
out and wouldn’t tell her anything. He
wants to know what she did so he can fix it.
She tells him she can take care of Michael because he won’t. She is a match for anyone she says, Sorel
found out and so will Sonny.
At the hospital,
Tony goes to check on Sorel and realizes he is dead. Alan wants to put Sorel in the morgue and forget about him but
Tony want to involve the authorities because the death looks suspicious. Taggert is called in and he begins his
investigation into the murder.
Sonny shows up at
the Quartermaines where he encounters Jax for the first time since his
return. He pulls Skye aside and implies
he will wreck her if she doesn’t stay away from Carly and Michael. Later, he shows up at Jax’s and asks about Brenda. He learns Jax was chasing a ghost and that
Brenda is truly dead.
Carly goes to the
hospital and learns that Sorel is dead.
She runs into Roy, Melissa and Angel and figures out that Angel was
there about Sorel. Taggert informs her
Angel is Sorel’s daughter and Carly accuses her of playing games. Taggert observes that Angel is not as
emotional as she should be and wonders who in the long list of suspects killed
Sorel.
Angel shows up at
the warehouse and informs Sonny that her father is dead. Sonny asks if she made peace with her father
and she admits that at the end she hated him even more because he made her beg
for Sonny’s life – and still denied her.
Carly rushes to
Sonny’s office to warn him about Angel.
He tells her Angel is no threat to him
- he knows all he needs to about her.
Carly questions him and he admits he had her checked out. Carly thinks it’s because he was looking out
for her. Sonny says he already knew
about Angel and that the time she “introduced” them was not the first time they
met. Sonny tells Carly about the night
with Sorel in the cemetery and that Angel was the one who saved him. He goes on to tell her that all the time he
was missing, he was with Angel at the lake house. They argue and she leaves to confront Angel at the lake
house. She accuses Angel of wanting her
husband and colluding with her father in her kidnapping. Angel denies and Carly leaves – angry and
out for revenge.
Carly goes to the
police station demanding Angel be arrested for aiding her father in her
kidnapping. Taggert does not believe
but is not too quick to dismiss her allegations – they give him an excuse to
investigate Angel and his suspicions of her.
Sonny goes to the
lake house to warn Angel that Carly knows he stayed with her after the
stabbing. Angel reveals that Carly was
already there but insists she “handled her.”
They are interrupted when Taggert arrives to question Angel about
Carly’s allegations.
At the station, Mike
had almost convinced Carly to drop the charges against Angel but she pursues
when the lady in question arrives at the police station with her husband. Mac questions Carly and she believes her
accusations are not far off the mark after all. Could Angel have been the one to kill her father? Alone with Carly in the interrogation room,
Sonny tries to convince Carly to change her mind before it is too late. Carly goes off on him and starts ranting
about all the things she has done to protect him and their family. Sonny tries to stop her but she insists on
speaking her peace. She asks him if he
wants to know if she killed Sorel. She
admits she wanted to and that she’s glad he is dead but she wasn’t the one to
do it. She asks Sonny if he killed
Sorel and he says, no he didn’t. She
wonders then, if she didn’t do it and Sonny didn’t do it, who did? Mac and Taggert eavesdropping on their
conversation realize that Carly is playing games and that her and Sonny know
they are being monitored.
Outside the
interrogation room, Sonny convinces Carly to drop the charges against Angel –
when proven false, Carly could be charged with perjury and he does not want
that. Carly admit she made a mistake
and the charges are dropped. They leave
and Carly confronts Sonny on the steps of the PCPD. She wants him to admit that he comes alive when they are together
and that his protecting Angel wasn’t about him caring for her so much as it was
about him trying not to care for Carly.
There connection is still there no matter how much he wants to deny
it. He says he bailed her out for Michael’s
sake and his alone. He tells her what
he does is none of her business and the sooner she realizes it the better it
will be for everyone.
The next day, Sonny
tells Alexis he wants to file for divorce.
She advises against it because she knows he is still in love with his
wife. He says he needs to get the
divorce so that Carly understands they are over. Alexis questions if the divorce is about Carly, or his
relationship with Angel. She berates
Sonny for staying away for so long without contacting her. She tells him she wants him to treat her
with respect – he can’t treat her like his wife.
Carly is in her
hotel suite making preparations for Michael’s return home. Mike stops by for a visit and she tells him
she is leaving. When he shows concern,
she clarifies she is not skipping town, she is moving out of the hotel. She has her own place now and if it’s an
independent woman Sonny wants, that’s what he’s going to get. She is going to remind Sonny who he is
dealing with. Mike is happy she is not
giving up on her marriage. On her way
out of the hotel, Carly runs into Jax and the two exchange words. He accuses her of using Michael to hold on
to Sonny and tells her she should stay away from him. She warns him to stay away from Sonny and heads out.
Carly shows Mike her
new cottage, and he comments it is a like the house Sonny always dreamt of
growing up in. That was before Mike
left and Sonny’s dreams got burnt out of him, Mike says. Carly tells him Sonny still has dreams – of
the family he has always wanted and she is going to show him he can still have
all that. As Carly greets Michael, home
from his summer in Martinique, AJ goes to the PCPD and confesses he knows who
killed Joseph Sorel: Carly Corinthos.
