Alexis sits drinking; her girls show up at the door.  Sam asks her point blank if she’s been drinking.  She tells her it was Anna DeVane’s wine glass; apology accepted.  Alexis admits to her daughters that she did not get the contracting job; they assure her she will find something.  Alexis suggests she expand her horizons by writing a novel possibly; Sam tells her she may have the solution.  She offers her a consulting position with her investigation service; Alexis thanks her, and accepts but, after assuring Molly that the ‘words’ being spewed about her and spread all over the internet are only going to make her stronger; she tells her girls to go have fun.  As soon as she gets them out the door, she drinks her glass of wine.  

Sonny gets annoyed by Griffin’s assessment of him; and assures him that none of his children will pay for his sins because he protects them from that.  He tells Griffin God only helps those who help themselves, which only makes Griffin angrier and he states that is not a scripture.  He admits to terrible sins, wishing someone had reached out to him – tells Sonny he has the chance to avoid regret and recrimination by not doing anything to Julian.  He tells Sonny what he is contemplating is a mortal sin and he knows it.  Sonny argues from his perspective; Julian is a killer, who stabbed somebody and put a knife to his wife’s throat.  Besides, Sonny thinks, he is way past the point of redemption.  Griffin pleads with him to change his mind, for the sake of everyone who loves him.  Sonny calls to “cancel the job” but it might be too late.  

Ava tries to talk to Morgan; he is already getting drunk and even more angry.  He tells her she won; he found Kiki and Dillon “going at it” he says (not true, but…) after Dillon apologizes for kissing Kiki, she tells him she kissed him back; he says he took advantage, but she says he did not.  He thanks her for consoling him; she says the kiss was about more than his pain… it’s about the way they feel for each other.  He looks shocked and asks what about Morgan?  She tells Dillon that she has realized Morgan may not be the one for her.  

When Morgan tries to leave the bar, the bartender takes his keys.  Morgan leaves the bar on foot, then sees a car with a button ignition, with windows down.  He reaches for the door, but TJ stops him; he tells him he can’t let him go anywhere in that car.  Morgan tricks him into turning around, pushes him and gets in the car; Jason finds TJ on the ground.  TJ tells Jason that Morgan just stole that car.  When Sonny gets home, Carly notices a change in him; he tells her that he believes for the first time in a long time, that things are going to be alright again.  Kiki is somewhat devastated when she realizes Dillon is the one for her; she says she has to tell Morgan what is in her heart, and leaves in tears to find him.  As Morgan speeds down the road, Jason catches up to him in his SUV and calls him; Morgan puts the phone on speaker.  Jason does his best to talk him down and asks him to pull over to talk to him.  He does; however, the car Morgan stole apparently belongs to Julian, and when Morgan steps out of it, something explodes.

Wow... that means Morgan will be injured (or possibly dead) at Sonny's own order, because this would have been the "job" he was trying to cancel.  OMG
