The search continues for Morgan; so far, there is so sign of him.  Jason goes to Sonny’s to give him the bad news; they return to the crash site, and Sonny becomes frantic.  The police have to hold him back.  He breaks loose and heads for the water; Dante and Jason discuss the possibility that Sonny planted the bomb that caused the explosion.  Sonny is pulled from the water and handcuffed to a car; then Dante gets news of discovered remains below.  Morgan appears to be dead.  

Julian tells Ava that someone tried to kill him; he explains the theft, the explosion, etc., and the fact that he is sure Sonny is behind it.  Dante is sure that Sonny ordered Julian’s murder, to end the war; and the casualty was his little brother.  Then he tells her that the driver of the car was Morgan; she says it can’t be… it doesn’t make sense.  She asks if they found his body; Julian says he doesn’t think so, but the bomb was meant to obliterate the car, meant to incinerate him, he tells her.  There wasn’t anything left to be found.  Now Ava feels responsible; she recollects her switching out his pills.  Julian says it was Morgan’s own fault, for mixing his psych meds with alcohol; Ava says, no… and tells Julian it was her fault.  He asks how; she says, she knew what was going on with him.  He tells her that doesn’t make it her fault; he says, it was him or Morgan and he’s glad it wasn’t him.  He walks away and leaves her crying.  She looks sincerely sad.  She drops her glass; it falls to the floor and breaks.  She remembers the first time she and Morgan kissed; and their first Christmas together, then dumping the placebo pills in his pill bottle… them telling each other they loved each other.  She crumbles to the floor, sobbing, “what have I done?”

Franco comes to get food for Elizabeth at the Metro Court, but he doesn’t have the money to pay for it; Nelle doesn’t fall for his lies.  Carly comes in and lets Franco take the food, just to get rid of him; he returns to Elizabeth’s where he finds Sam.  She brought Jake his Math book for school; an argument erupts when Franco gets too close for Sam’s comfort.  Jake comes down and asks why they are fighting.  He wants to know why Sam doesn’t like Franco; Franco takes time to explain that, once upon a time, he wasn’t such a nice guy.  He admits to hurting people, including Sam, and says she is right not to forgive him.  Jake asks if he is sorry; Franco says, every minute of every day.  

Carly commends Nelle on the great job she’s doing; complimenting her abilities.  Nelle tells her she will take care of the sprinkler problem; she tells Carly to go on home.  Sonny is allowed to go home; Jason goes with him.  Carly is calling him to see where he is.  Sonny gives Carly the bad news; it appears that somebody is watching through the window as Carly falls to her knees.
