Michael comes home to find his mom packing; she tells him she just can’t stay in the house another night… she has to get away from there.  Sonny is standing there when she comes down the stairs.  He asks if she was just going to walk out without saying a word; he asks how she can leave now – she asks how she can ‘not’.  She says they are the consequence of his actions.  He looks broken.  He tells her he called off the hit; he had changed his mind, because of her.  She screams, “it was too late!”  Sonny tries to comfort her, but she pushes him away.  She leaves.  Nelle gets her bags.

Michael walks with his sisters through the park, as they wait for their mother to catch up; he asks Jos to go push Avery on the swings.  Kristina asks what his mother is doing to her father now… she asks how she can blame him for Morgan’s death.  Joslyn comes back to hear the conversation, asking why Uncle Sonny would be blamed for it.  Nelle asks if Michael would like her to take Avery back to his dad; she says it would be good for him to spend some time with her.  Michael agrees.  Joslyn demands an answer; Kristina tries to explain, but only upsets Jos.  Joslyn tells Michael to tell her the truth; she wants to know what happened to Morgan and who put the bomb there.  Michael says he doesn’t know for sure, but it could have been him.  He hugs his sister, as she sobs.  When she sees her mother, she tells her she understands why her dad has always hated Uncle Sonny and now she does too.  

Scotty meets Julian at Crimson and warns him that Sonny is probably looking for a pound of flesh more than ever before, because he is going to blame him for Morgan’s death.  He says he may have a way out; Scotty suggests trying to put Sonny in prison for trying to have Julian killed.  Maxie apologizes to Nathan for her actions in front of his daughter; she offers a solution to smoothing things over with Claudette.  Claudette sits in the park with her daughter, telling her how much she loves her; and that one day her father will love her too, just as much as she does.  Nathan calls her to bring Charlotte back; Maxie apologies to her.  Claudette tells her it was a beautiful apology but she doesn’t believe a word of it.  Maxie offers Charlotte a bottle of juice; as soon as Claudette leaves, she calls to order another DNA test.  

Nina gets upset with Curtis when he tells her that he cannot help her find a baby on the black market; he says it is just too dangerous for everybody involved.  She leaves the office in a huff.  Julian tells Curtis he wants to hire him to investigate who planted the bomb on his car, if he’s not afraid of Sonny Corinthos.  He makes him an offer he can’t refuse.  Curtis says he will do some digging and see what turns up.  He sees Nina again; she tells him she isn’t mad and she respects his position, thanking him for all the work he did.  Julian shows up on Sonny’s doorstep, with the fruit basket from Crimson.
