Expanded Descriptions

Early Sonny DVD #1 - 4 hrs
Stone is looking for Sonny who is supposed to be coming back to town. Karen Wexler shows up at Sonny's strip club, called "The Paradise Lounge" (when she is in Sonny's world she goes by the name Cari). When Sonny spots Cari he goes up to her and asks her if she is there to dance for amateur night? Cari blushes and says she would be too self conscious to do that. Sonny explains to her that it's all about power and there is no reason to be self conscious because when you are on stage you are the one in control. Cari is intrigued. Stone comes up (he already knows Cari and is the one who invited her) and formally introduces his friends Cari and Sonny. Stone has told Cari a lot about Sonny and she is excited to meet him. Cari is lured into the amateur stripping competition by not only the $300 prize but also the idea of control. Cari takes the stage to the sounds of "Prince" as Sonny stands by and eagerly watches (Cari is the rare stripper that gets away with just stripping down to full lingerie and is still the star of the show). Cari comes off the stage ecstatic and she wins the competition. Later that night, Stone takes her home.
 
Mac and Felicia come into the Paradise Lounge to ask questions about a young girl named Crystal (used to be Stones girlfriend) who used to work at his club because she overdosed on drugs and Mike Cates (aka Stone) who is a runaway. Sonny tells them that Crystal got hooked on drugs and left the club 3-4 months ago and he hasn't seen her since. He also lies and tells them he has never heard of Mike Cates. After closing time Sonny informs Stone of Crystal's death (she was an IV drug user and the following year we learn this is who he contracted AIDs from).
 
Sonny calls Kelly's, where Karen works, and invites her out to dinner. They have a nice dinner together and decide to go out again on Friday. Friday comes and Cari shows up at Sonny's dressed up to go out somewhere really fancy because he told her they were having dinner at the best place in town. Turns out he meant his place because he is a really great cook. Sonny needs to leave the room for a moment to take care of business and ask Stone, who has just come in, to entertain Cari. Stone and Cari talk about Crystals death which Stone is taking pretty hard. Sonny comes back and Stone leaves. Over dinner, Sonny goes on and on telling Cari how great she is and that she is magical. Sonny puts in the video of Cari stripping on amateur night to show her how great she was. Cari turns her head to the surveillance tv's Sonny has in his apt, they have live feed of downstairs at the club. On one of the monitors, she spot's Ray there. Cari begins freaking out and tries to leave but Sonny won't let her and tries to calm her down. He gets her to confide in him. She tells him that her mom's boyfriend Ray used to come in her room at night and rape her. Cari has never told anyone that before and asks him not to tell anyone. She asks him if it makes him hate her and he says no and that everyone makes mistakes. Then Sonny tells her how his step dad used to push him and his mom around and beat on them until one day he realized he was all grown and he pushed back. He says that's what she has to do, get the power back.
 
Cari bangs on Sonny's apartment door upset. Ray showed up at Kelly's and was staring at her, she feels like she is choking. She was so upset she just ran out on her job. Sonny gives her a tranquilizer to calm her down. He has work to do so he leaves her alone in the apartment to do as she pleases. Once he leaves she puts in the video of her stripping and watches it again. Stone comes in and finds her. They talk about Crystal again. Stone feels a lot better about it because he went to the morgue and claimed the body and is going to have a small funeral for her. Cari asks what Crystal was like before she got hooked on drugs and Stone is about to tell Cari that she was actually a lot like her but before she can Sonny walks in and he has to shut his mouth and leave. Once Stone leaves Sonny flirts with Cari. Karen's mom comes to Kelly's and asks her about the new guy she's been seeing. Karen gets very defensive and is rude to her mother. Sonny and Stone are talking at the Paradise Lounge. Sonny gives Stone money for Crystal's funeral and warns him to lay low or else he'll be found by the PI's looking for him. Later, Cari comes to see Sonny and they talk about her mom bothering her and about changing and growing while sharing some beers.
 
At Sonny's apartment, Stone tells Sonny that the people that were looking for him have found him. It's his brother, Jagger and he want's Stone to come live with him. Sonny tells Stone he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to. Sonny is firing a stripper who isn't making enough money. Stone tell's him that now they will be one dancer short but Sonny says he's got someone in mind, Cari. Cari comes over and tells Sonny that her mom is going to let Ray stay at their place so Sonny says she can stay with him and that makes her happy. The next morning they talk about Stone and his brother Jagger. Sonny finds out that Jagger and her used to be an item and get's a bit jealous. Cari comes to the Paradise Lounge to talk about Ray being around all the time and how she doesn't have money for a dorm then two guys at the bar recognize her and tell her she was the best dancer the club has ever seen and convince her to take the stage for another strip competition. She goes up and wins this competition too. Cari says she loves the power and control she has on stage. Sonny convinces her to take it on as a job.
 
Cari comes to the Paradise Lounge and tries to warn Stone to be more careful because Jagger is starting to get suspicious that he has a secret job (the one with Sonny). Sonny tells Stone to just tell Jagger anything he wants to hear and then just do what he wants to do anyway. Stone calls Sonny from Kelly's and cancels plans they had because of Jagger, Sonny plays it off but is mad. Cari comes to the club talking about how badly she needs to move out because Ray hs moved into her apt. building but she can't because she has no money. Sonny tells her his place is free and asks her to move in with him. She turns him down because she doesn't want to leave her mom alone. He tells her she can use his apartment anytime she wants and gives her a key. Cari tries on her stage outfit for Sonny. It's a school girl costume. Sonny loves it and so does Stone. Her debut is going to be on that night.
 
It's Cari's turn to go on stage and right as she goes on she spots Jagger and runs off. Sonny comes to see her and she tells him why she ran off he tells her to go upstairs to the apartment and wait for him. Stone and Jagger are talking by the bar. Jagger is under the impression that Sone is just there for fun so he tells him that's he's been to these places before too. Then the stripper Sonny fired comes up and blows Stone's cover. Jagger gets pissed off and Sonny intervenes which only pisses Stone off more. Jagger wants Stone to quit but he won't. Back up at the apartment, Cari is pacing the floor, Sonny comes in and gives her a drink to calm her down. She tells him that she want's to keep both parts of her life seperate. Outside, Jagger and Stone end their argument by Stone telling Jagger that Sonny is more of a brother to him then he is. The next day Sonny and Stone talk about Jagger. Sonny see's that Jagger is getting to Stone and it makes Sonny mad. Sonny tells Stone that he's the only brother he is the only brother he has not Jagger. Cari is at the apartment, upset about Jagger. Sonny figures this out and get's pissed off. She tells him it's no big deal and he's the one she want's to be with which calms him down.  Cari tells Sonny how wired she gets after work and then how tired she get's during school. He gives her pills to take and says they will help.
 
Cari comes to the club and can't keep her eyes open. Sonny tells her to go upstairs to his medicine cabinet and take a red pill. Cari is messing around on stage when Stone walks in and looks very concerned for her. Cari is obviously speeding from the pills. That night Jagger is trying to get into the club but the bouncer won't let him. Inside, Cari is talking to Stone and Sonny and is still very high. She goes backstage to get ready. As she takes the stage, Jagger punches the bouncer and before Stone can stop him he see's Cari on stage stripping though she doesn't see Jagger, and she comes off the stage high. Sonny kisses her and plans another champagne dinner. Jagger blames Stone for bringing Cari into the club. Jagger confronts Cari backstage, she's heartbroken. She joins Sonny for dinner, visibly shaken, Sonny reassures her and kisses her. Stone and Sonny talk about Jagger and Cari. Stone relaxes Cari before another show, they sip champagne, dance. Sonny is very attentive and protective. Cari tells him she's going to quit working at Kelly's. Sonny and Cari make love, Jagger walks in on them after. He tries to get Cari to come with him, he and Sonny fight, he knocks Sonny out. Sonny comes to and Cari insists on taking him to the hospital. She feels guilty and responsible, they sleep together again. Stone is worried what Sonny will do to Jagger after Sonny tells him he's going to get Jagger back.
 
Cari goes to the club to tell Sonny that her mom made her take her job at Kelly's back. He tell's her to go upstairs and they will talk about it.  On the way up the stairs she drops her key and overhears Sonny making arrangments to retailiate against Jagger, she tries to stop him. She's frightened for Jagger. She tells Stone, he also tries to discourage Sonny. Sonny isn't happy with either of them for their interference. He tells Stone he has to choose, that its an issue of loyalty. Jagger is grabbed at Kelly's, Brenda is frantic. Cari comes in, has words with Brenda, then tells Marco that Jagger is in trouble. Jagger is taken upstairs at Sonny's club. Stone finds him tied to a chair, bleeding. Sonny comes in and once again forces Stone to choose, Stone walks out rather than choose Jagger over Sonny. Marco shows up to deal for Jagger's release. Meanwhile, Stone returns and unties Jagger when no one is there but then someone starts coming and Jagger cover's for Stone by acting like he was huring him instead of helping him. Marco makes a deal, gives Sonny part of Jagger's boxing contract. Karen is not so enamored of Sonny, now she is frightened of him. Karen's grades are dropping, she wants to quit stripping. Stone advises that she doesn't because Sonny will be really mad. Cari is really tired all the time and asks Sonny for more and more pills.

Stone tells Sonny he doesn't know exactly where Karen is. Sonny, much calmer, goes to see Karen. He says that he won't make her return, then tries to talk her into it, she refuses and says she hated stripping.  He says he will accept that temporarily.

Sonny wants Jagger to throw his next fight. Sonny wants Stone to bring Karen to the fight. Brenda, Robin, at the fight, Karen & Stone come in. Sonny sits by Karen and Stone. Brenda asks Robin what she thinks of Karen's new boyfriend Sonny, Robin says they don't look much in love to her. Jagger won't throw the fight, he wins, Sonny is ticked. Sonny grabs Karen by the hair and starts pulling her out of there. Jagger punches him, and he and Karen run out.  Brenda at Kelly's going on about how she won't give up on Jagger. Sonny comes in looking for Jagger, Brenda overhears and heads upstairs to warn Jagger. They take off out the fire escape. Ruby is calm while Sonny threatens her, he's impressed by her coolness. Sonny finds Brenda in Jagger's room, painting her toes, it looks like she's waiting for Jagger to return. Brenda asks if they've ever tried knocking, after all she might not have been decent, "What would we have done then?". Sonny replies that they would have thought of something. Karen and Jagger head to Sean. Sonny threatens Marco if Karen and Jagger don't show up. Sean calls Sonny in, arrests him for threatening Karen and Jagger. Karen also tells Sean about Ray molesting her. Big time mob guys get Sonny out of jail, want him then to break Frank Smith out. Sonny is now in the mob. Sonny's lawyer warns him to leave Karen and Jagger alone. Later, Sonny brings Karen flowers, tells her it was just business and he would never have killed her. The Paradise Lounge has been shut down. Sonny goes to see Luke (their first scene together) at the brownstone. Luke goes ballistic and warns him to never come to his house, talk to his friends or his family. (Frank Smith is blackmailing Luke into breaking him out). More Luke and Sonny on the docks planning. Famous scene on the docks where Brenda and Sonny are introduce themselves to each other. Brenda is upset and drops her luggage on the way from Kelly's. Sonny is there and helps her pick it up then he introduces himself and even though she tries to blow him off he grabs her hand and asks her name (you can already see sparks) she says Brenda and then leaves.
 
Sonny arrives at Kelly's to meet Luke and runs into Jagger. He stands next to the door waiting for Luke to finish his conversation with Ruby. She warns Luke that Sonny is up to no good and that he threatened her once. Luke tells her that he's meeting with Sonny so that he can get Frank Smith off his back and so that he and Laura can finally have the life they've always wanted. Sonny and Luke sit and discuss their job of bringing in Frank's "friend" from overseas. Sonny meets with Frank at the jail. They discuss what Sonny thinks about Luke. Sonny mentions that while Luke is smart and seems to know the moves he didn't expect him to be so "seasoned".  Frank tells Sonny to take care of Luke and that when the job's over, he and Sonny will have another conversation about Luke's future. Sonny and Luke arrive at the airport to meet up with the Algerian woman. While they wait, Sonny asks Luke questions about how was it that he could come back and work with Frank again after he (Luke) was the one that sent him (Frank) to jail in the first place. Luke says that it's the smarts that get him by. The Algerian woman shows up. She's six feet tall, black, and beautiful. Sonny and Luke do the typical man thing by gawking and mumbling to themselves about how she looks. They introduce themselves to her and prepare to walk out of the airport but are stopped by customs. They check Luke's and the Algerian's ids and just when they think they're in the clear they ask to check Sonny's who claims with an accent that he's only Luke's driver. Again they were about to leave when an agricultural dog begins to bark. They ask the Algerian if she has anything that they need to look at and she mentions that she only has Faqua (God knows what that is) and that she never travels without it. The customs inspector tells her that she'll have to do without it now because she's not allowed to bring in any food from overseas.
 
The trio arrive at the motel and begin to scream at the Algerian that it was her fault that they got stopped in the first place. Sonny leaves Luke and the Algerian to share a room together while he takes the other private room. A while later, Luke screams for Sonny after the Algerian, Claudine, comes on to him. He tells Sonny that Claudine has brought some wine from overseas. Sonny asks if that's a problem and Luke says, "she might want to pop a cork or two". Sonny responds by saying "the possibilities are very interesting". Claudine walks towards the boys and says maybe but that three are one too many for her. She goes to take a bath leaving Sonny and Luke behind. Sonny begins to laugh at Luke and make jokes. Luke shows Sonny his wedding ring making Sonny state that "he gets nervous looking at those", which Luke responds back by saying "see mine's a suicide ring. I take it off and my wife kills me". Sonny mentions that Laura isn't there and Luke answers back by saying that you don't lose the one thing that's important to you in your life. Claudine comes out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Sonny looks at her and says, "Oh my goodness gracious I just remembered that I left something burning on my hotplate." 
     Luke looks scared and goes, "No!"     
     Sonny smiles and says, "Yes, good night" and begins to walk out of the door. 
     Luke sarcastically calls out "Sweet dreams".
 
The next morning, Claudine complains about the donut breakfast that Sonny brought over. They tell her that if she doesn't like their breakfast she can wait until she gets on the plane and eat then and she says she will, only if it's first class. Luke shows up at Sonny's club, The Paradise Lounge, and asks what happened there. Sonny says that it turns out that some of his girls were underage. Luke asks him why he didn't buy himself a cop and then he wouldn't have lost his club. He advised him to go to Sean but Sonny says that unfortunately he's clean. He then told him to talk to Frank and see what he could do for him. Sonny obviously doesn't like the idea but told him that "he'd keep it in mind".  Luke asked Sonny if he missed his freedom and Sonny claimed that he had his freedom.  Luke joked by saying that he (Sonny) had a chain around his neck, which Sonny denied. Luke came back by saying "who are you kidding Sonny? Frank owns you."
 
Sonny obviously didn't like that statement and let Luke know that he's not owned by anybody and that besides he'd been running for 10 years so what was he talking about. He asked when was the next gig and Sonny said that he'd have to wait and hear from Frank. Luke said, "CLANK!" and went to walk away after telling Sonny to keep in touch. Sonny asked how was he supposed to do that since he couldn't write, or call, or anything. Luke told him to be creative, "howl at the moon" and walked away giving a wolf's howl. Marco showed up at Sonny's club and told him that Jagger had given up boxing because he now wanted to become a cop. Marco then told Sonny that in return he'd be willing to work with him for Frank. After Marco's "convincing talk" Sonny said that he could probably work off his debt. Sonny met with Luke at Kelly's to tell him that Phil Cusack got in contact with him. He tells him that some guy, Joe Garfield, is trying to come in and make a move on Frank's territory in PC.
 
Laura comes in as they talk, throwing a worried look at Sonny. She goes off to the back to talk to Ruby. Sonny tries to be nice and asks Luke what's her name was again, which causes Luke to go off because he doesn't want Laura to be involved in any way. They continue to discuss Garfield and Luke mentions that they'll need a "shield" so that they can take the attention away from themselves. Marco walks in to tell Sonny that his name doesn't hold much weight anymore, which shows Sonny that Garfield's finally making a move. After Marco leaves, Sonny mentions that they could probably use Marco for something. Luke, Laura and Lucky are talking in the living room of their new house when they hear something break outside. Luke goes out to investigate with a gun and finds Sonny there. He mentions that he threw a pebble at the window to get Luke's attention but that it was a mistake that it broke and that to tell Mrs. Spencer that he'll pay for it. Luke asks Sonny what he's doing there and Sonny responds that they were ready to go on their next job.
 
Karen, Ruby and Brenda are sitting at Kelly's talking about Jagger and the Ray Conway murder. They figure that Jagger was framed and are now trying to figure out who it was. Karen says that she didn't think that Sonny did it or that he framed Jagger but Brenda tried to say a lot of things that tried to convince Karen. Karen finally agreed with Brenda and Sonny walked into Kelly's at that moment. Karen left Kelly's as quickly as possible. Brenda walked up to Sonny and began to "question" him about Ray Conway's murder. He told her that he didn't do it. Marco came and tapped on the window to get Sonny's attention. He cut short his and Brenda's conversation and left. 
 
Sonny, Luke and Marco are driving towards their next job. Luke and Marco began to argue and Sonny cuts it short by trying to explain it to Marco as best as he can while yelling all the way. Luke pulls the car over and tells Sonny that he thinks that they're being set up (LOL this reminded me so much of a Mel Gibson/Danny Glover/Joe Pesci Lethal Weapon pairing). Luke decided to change the plans so that there can be less of a chance of death. Later they're discussing who was going to pick up the murderer and voted Marco for the job. Sonny and Luke are later looking through their binoculars at Marco's progress when they're interrupted by a passerby he probably works there. Luke tells the guy that he and the Professor (Sonny) are there because they got a call that they found a rare bird. Sonny's looking at Luke as if he's crazy and is trying not to help at all but Luke forces Sonny to give the mating call of the bird. The man left after Sonny's rousing rendition. Sonny tells Luke, "You coulda died Spencer. You still might."  Luke said that if he was the bird he would've been all over Sonny at the moment. Sonny and Luke met later on at a private part of the docks so that Sonny could give Luke a bulletproof vest. Luke tells Sonny that he might want to consider it as well. Sonny asks why and Luke said it was because Ivan (the murderer that they got) was working with both Frank and Garfield.
 
Laura shows up at Sonny's club looking for information on where Luke was because she thought that maybe Lucky followed him to the meeting. Sonny gave her the information that she needed and then took her to the docks himself. When they got there they saw that someone had died but they didn't know who it was as of yet. Sonny took Laura to the hospital so that they could see who it was that died and who it was that was also shot in the process. It was found that Ivan died and that Lucky was shot. Brenda's bathtub fantasy with Sonny coming in to claim his diamonds. Sonny meets Frank in jail and tells him that Ivan was working for Garfield and that if it wasn't for Luke, Frank would be dead. Frank tells Sonny to call Phil Cusack and to tell him to make moves so that they can begin a full out war against Garfield. Sonny goes to the hospital to see Lucky and talks to Laura. He tells her that he was thinking about her and how worried she looked the other day when she was looking for her family. Luke sees them talking and comes out to find out what he was doing there. He said that he only wanted to see how Lucky was and then asked if he had a minute. He then told Luke that Frank sent his regards and Luke in return told him that Donnely was asking why Sonny was with Laura at the docks the other day. Sonny told Luke that there was going to be a war and Luke told him fine but advised him to steer clear of Donnely and Laura. Laura called Sonny and told him that she wanted to see Frank Smith. Sonny told her that he wouldn't think of it because Frank only sees a few people, jail isn't the place for a lady, and of course the most important reason was that if Luke found out that he'd taken Laura to see Frank that he would kill him. Sonny finally agreed to take Laura after she said that she'd handle Luke.
 
Sonny took Laura to see Frank. He stood in the background while the two discussed how horrible the last ten years had been for her and her family. She warned him to leave Lucky alone or he'd have to deal with her. She told him that he owed them because Luke killed the guy that would've murdered him otherwise. Frank decided that he would protect Laura and Lucky but Luke had to protect himself. Sonny told Laura to wait outside so that he could talk to Frank. Frank told Sonny that he wanted two men to protect Laura and Lucky. He said that things were being taken care of on the inside and that he wanted things to be fine on the outside as well. Sonny went outside and told Laura that she'd gotten her protection and that it was a good thing.
 
Sonny ran into Karen at the hospital before going to see Luke, they were rude to each other as usual. Luke asked Sonny why he took Laura to see Frank. Sonny explained that he didn't have a choice and Luke understood seeing as how Laura could be stubborn as hell. Luke met with Sonny at the club and the two began to talk about Garfield and how things would be taken care of soon. Stone walks into the club and tells Sonny and Luke that there was a phone call and Cusack's been hit and for them to know that they're next on the hit list. Sonny tells Stone to lay low until things die down. Sonny and Luke go to the hospital to check on Lucky since they called and couldn't get in touch with him. They find a hitman in the staircase and fight him before running towards Lucky's room. When they get there, they find his room empty. Meanwhile, they show Laura and Amy outside loading Lucky into an ambulance.
 
Luke contacts Laura and Lucky from the hospital and tells them to find a safe place. Sonny finds out that Frank's gotten to Garfield and the second in command and in turn lets Luke know. Sonny visits Frank in jail and brings him up to speed. Frank inquires about the Spencer family and Sonny answers all questions. He asks Sonny to watch out for Damian and to become his bodyguard just until things cool back down. Sonny meets with Damian and explains that Frank asked him to protect him. Damian tells Sonny that he doesn't want to know anything about anything and that he wants Sonny to go. Sonny told him that he didn't care what Damian wanted but Damian said that he didn't want anything to do with his father's protection and again told Sonny to leave. Sonny left with the parting words "Like it or not, I'm keeping an eye on you. I have my orders."  Damian went to Sonny's club and told him that he didn't want Sonny's protection. Sonny said that it was fine but wondered as to why he was there in the first place. Damian said he wanted to know if Sonny could give him some information about a murder, Ray Conway's murder. Damian asked if Sonny killed him but Sonny said that he wasn't the one who did it and he doesn't know who did it either. Damian wondered what was Sonny's connection to the Wexler's and Sonny said that there was none. Damian then asked how the police station was setup and Sonny answered all questions without thought. Sonny and Luke met outside of Kelly's about where to go to get a helicopter. Sonny was in his club eating lunch when Luke walked in to talk about the helicopter deal. They realize that their next job was now to find a pilot. Sonny meets Luke at his house (Luke's house) and told him that they might have a problem with their pilot and that they now have to "rescue" him from "sure death". Lucky comes in and introduces himself to Sonny. 

Early Sonny DVD #3 - 4 hours
Luke and Sonny are discussing the details of the ship and Sonny wants to know why he needs to know things on a ship. Luke told him to just smile and nod a lot and then plants a captain's hat on his head and a pipe in his mouth causing Sonny to claim that he's Popeye the Sailor Man. They are met by a member of the yacht club and were then asked to sit and discuss sailing with him and have to then act like they know everything there is to know about sailing which Sonny knows absolutely NOTHING about so just imagine the comic relief.
 
Later, Luke is trying to sneak past the guy that they were talking to earlier. As Luke was coerced into talking with the guy, Sonny was forcibly pushing their contact out of the yacht club and trying to be inconspicuous and subtle but the contact wasn't hearing it. Luke then had to fast-talk their way out of there. When they got outside the contact refused to get into the limo because he didn't like small confined places. Luke knocked him out and they placed him inside of the limo. When they reached their destination, the man tried to run out but Luke forcibly threw him back in the car. There they learned that the contact was a doctor. Luke tried to figure out what kind of doctor he was but Sonny warned him not to ask any questions and to mind their own business. It turns out that the doctor is a plastic surgeon. Sonny runs into Brenda at the car dealership. She is buying herself a Valentines Day present. They are VERY flirtatious with each other. They both had their minds made up on the car they wanted but succeeded in changing each other's minds and getting the other's car, without each other knowing! So seductive. Brenda has her Valentine Day fantasy with Prince's Damn U playing in the background. Sonny goes to Luke's and tells him that the doctor went to see Donnelly and that Frank's not too happy about it. Sonny asks Luke if he was the one that convinced the doctor to turn against Smith. Luke asks Sonny if he really believes that he would do something like that and Sonny said that he's only going by what he was shown. Luke asked if Sonny was finally going to admit that Frank was going to break out of jail. Sonny finally told him yes after Luke mentioned that the only person they could trust was each other. Luke then told Sonny that yes he went to see the doctor but that he didn't talk him into going to see Donnelly. Luke then decided that the way that he can show his loyalty to Frank is for him to break him out himself with Sonny's help. 
 
Sonny showed up at the Quartermaine mansion to see Brenda. He meets Lila and begins to have a conversation with her as Sean Donnelly walks in. Brenda then comes down and stops a soon to be confrontation from happening. She takes him to the foyer and asks him what he's doing there. He answers that he was driving in his new car and that it made its way to her front door. He asks her out on a date, which she accepts, and takes her to the PC Grille. When they get there, AJ inquires as to why she is going out with Sonny. Brenda tells him to mind his own business and to let her live her life. She and Sonny then go on to enjoy a dinner full of sexual tension. Sonny shows up at Kelly's and takes a seat. Ruby takes his order but tells him she doesn't like him, she wouldn't mind if he came down with a bad case of food poisoning either so if she were him she'd watch what he ate. Jagger walks in and pulls Sonny off of his chair and tells him to get out of there. Ruby stops them from fighting and pulls Jagger into the kitchen. When they get there she tells him that Sonny could come and go as he pleased at the moment only because he was working with Luke. She comes out with Sonny's order and warns him that if he hurts Luke that his life will be in danger. 
 
Luke walks in and asks Sonny to get in contact with Cusack and tell him to try to get Frank changed to another prison because they were going to bust him out. Brenda walks into Kelly's as Sonny and Luke are finishing their conversation. She joins him at his table. Sonny tells her that he wanted to call her and tell her that he really enjoyed their time together the night before but she tells him that she thinks they should cool it. He asks her why she is listening to everyone's well meaning advice instead of finding out things on her own. He asks her if she is going to "be satisfied with just a spark or did she want to set the world on fire". She promised that she wouldn't cross the street when she saw him. Jagger came out of the kitchen and saw them talking. Sonny notices and decides that he is going to move closer to Brenda and play with her hair all for Jagger's enjoyment. He tells her that he'll see her soon and then leaves. Jagger walks over to Brenda and asks her what she was doing? She tells him to mind his business and that she'll do whatever she wants.
 
Brenda calls Sonny to thank him for the flowers that he's sent over. He asks her to dinner to which she accepts. Stone walks into the apartment. Sonny is surprised to see him seeing as they haven't seen each other in awhile. Stone tells him that he's just been hanging out for awhile. Sonny asks why he hasn't come home sooner seeing as they were a team and were always there for each other. Stone agrees with him, and Sonny asks him if he is in or is he out with whatever the future holds for them. Stone tell's him that he is definitely in and they he informs Sonny that Karen and Jagger are getting married. Sonny goes to Luke's house. Luke is busy making fake ID's. Luke asks Sonny where they are stashing Frank after they break him out for jail. Sonny say's that he doesn't know yet. Laura walks in and tells them that she may have found a safehouse for Frank. Luke steps out of the room a moment to get a map, leaving Sonny and Laura alone. Sonny asks Laura if Luke was really helping Frank escape or was he going to doublecross him in the end. Laura says that Luke will help Frank get out and that's it. Sonny is fine with that answer. 
 
Sonny arrives at the Q mansion to pick up Brenda. He is waiting in the living room when AJ walks in and begins taunting Sonny. Sonny calmly warns AJ that he should spend less time worrying about Brenda's pain and a little more about his own. He also tells AJ that his mother taught him that if he should ever be invited into someone else's home that it'd be rude of him to stick his hand down a person's throat and tear their lungs out by the roots because it's just not done in the better circles. AJ asks if Sonny's mother would approve of Sonny's career choice. As the two of them are about to get into it Brenda walks in, stops them, and goes to get her coat. AJ follows her and asks her when she is going to stop taking Karen's throwaways. Sonny and Brenda drive torwards the "best restaurant in town" in his brand new car. Brenda starts asking Sonny questions about his feelings for Karen, he slams on the car breaks and pulls over. It looks like he is mad but he pulls Brenda towards him and kisses her passionately. Afterwards they decide to take it slow and he takes her home. 
 
Sonny and Luke are at Luke's house getting the last bit of the plan's straightened out. As Luke's talking, Sonny's playing with Foster. Luke tells Sonny that they need a driver who Sonny trusts with his life. Sonny then says that his best bet is Stone. Sonny meets with Frank in jail and tells Frank the whole plan. As Sonny's about to leave, Frank calls him back and wonders what happens to Luke after the breakout is over with, he wants Sonny to kill Luke after the job is done!!! Sonny tries to convice him otherwise, but still pleads his loyalty to Frank. Frank says that he'll think about it. Sonny goes to see Luke at his house and tells him that he saw Frank and he was ok with the plan. Luke wonders if there's more. Sonny tells him that they have to do the thing right with no surprises, no hidden agendas. Luke understands what Sonny means and tells him that everything will be okay. Sonny and Stone talk about the job that's about to go down with Frank, Stone looks a bit hesitant but agrees. 
 
Luke goes to Sonny's place to go over some details. Sonny shows up at Kelly's where Stone is talking to Robin and Brenda about new opportunities coming for him. Robin wonders if Stone is going to be involved with Sonny and gets a little worried about it. Brenda goes to sit with Sonny, against Robin's wishes. Sonny wonders if maybe Brenda's making a mistake but she goes on to say that she wants to make her own decisions. She tells Sonny that Karen and Jagger are getting married the Saturday coming, which also coincides with the date that Frank Smith is going to be busted out of jail. She tells him that she bought the red convertible sports car that this great salesman pitched to her. Sonny visits Frank again to give him the final details of the breakout. Franks says that everything seems to be going well but it's a shame that Sonny's going to have to take him out. Sony says that he doesn't understand after how their last conversation was. Frank answers that even though Sonny made a good case, he doesn't trust or like Luke so he's going to die. He tells Sonny that if he doesn't get it done he'll have to question his loyalty.
 
Sonny goes to Luke's place looking for Luke and finds Laura. She's crying about something when he rings the doorbell. He asks her if everything's okay and she mentions that it is, but won't stop crying.  Sonny asks her if it has to do with the job. She says that she knows everything's going to be okay. Sonny goes on to reassure her and says that they make a hell of a team. Laura tells him to be sure that they take care of each other. She then tells him that she and Luke are going to have another baby. Sonny begins to feel uncomfortable and says that he'll just wait for Luke out on the porch. Luke shows up and wonders why Sonny's waiting outside, in which he says that he didn't want to bother Laura so he didn't mind being outside. Sonny warns Luke not to turn his back on Frank when he gets out. Luke asks him to repeat himself but Sonny says that he didn't' say a thing, to which Luke, fully understanding, responds that he didn't hear a thing. He thanks Sonny and goes inside. 
 
Jagger shows up to the Paradise as Stone is on his way out to meet Sonny. Stone wonders what Jagger wants, to which he answers that he just wanted to spend some time with his little brother before he gets married. Stone gives some excuse to try to throw Jagger of the track. Jagger pretends to believe him, but ends up following him later on. Sonny's sitting in the car, disguised (it's just a light brown mustache pasted above his lip, and a bad wig on his head, LOL!) waiting for Luke and he flashes back to when Frank tells him to kill Luke after the breakout. That flashback leads to when Laura told him that she and Luke were having another baby. 
 
Luke shows up and gives him the fake ID's. Sonny warns him again to be wary of Frank to which Luke responds that Sonny do the same. The two go to the jail dressed as FBI agents and show documentation for Frank's "transfer". Stone is sitting in the van waiting for his cue, when Jagger rides up on his motorcycle wondering what the hell was going on. Jagger hits Stone because he feels that that's the only way he'd be able to keep Stone out of whatever trouble Sonny's about to get him into.  He leaves with Stone on the back of his motorcycle, leaving the van behind unattended, causing Sonny, Luke and Frank to have no driver. Sonny and Luke have a conversation as "Alex" and "Roger" as they wait for Frank. Finally he shows.
 
One of the officers calls for information on the transfer of Frank Smith, giving Sonny and Luke limited time to get Frank out of the facility and into the awaiting car. As they walk down the corridor and are almost home free, the officer finds out that there is in fact no transfer and that it's a breakout. He sounds the alarm, causing all hell to break loose. Sonny urges Luke and Frank to keep going as he tries to fend off the police, but he can't do it on his own. There are gunshots in the parking lot, in which Sonny gets hit twice. He struggles to get up and drives himself out of the jail parking lot.  He tries to drive but can barely see due to the bad snowstorm and him trying to fight not to lose consciousness. Finally he crashes into a car€¦ Brenda's brand new convertible. She helps Sonny out of the car and into her own, taking him back to his place. She tries to keep him awake by having him talk to her, that works for a while but then he just falls out of consciousness. Cusack finally arrives with the doctor. He says that he can't do surgery on Sonny without a transfusion in which it comes out that he and Brenda are the same blood type. She gives him blood and Sonny gets operated on. Later, the doctor gives Brenda all of the instructions and tells her that she must watch Sonny carefully during the night, which she does. Sonny wakes up in the middle of the night and tells Brenda that she has two choices. To either go away and act like they never met or stay and then they would have met, meaning that she couldn't let anyone know what she'd seen the night before. 
 
Later on in the morning, Brenda awoke and noticed that Sonny had begun bleeding again. The doctor came again, took care of Sonny, and then left, stating that if he died for her not to call him. Sonny survives the night (obviously) and then lets Brenda know that she should leave just in case the cops show up. Stone arrives, stating that he would take care of Sonny and Brenda leaves. Sonny asks Stone what happened with the van the night before. Stone instead asks Sonny more about him, trying to keep Sonny from asking him what'd happened that had made him leave. Stone explained that he'd left but he also left the keys for them to use just in case. Sonny got mad and told Stone that he trusted him and that all Stone did in return was embarrass him. Stone comes back with that he had the right to know what was going on because his life was in danger. Sonny at first didn't want to hear it but Stone told him that no matter what he wasn't leaving and that he would stay to take care of him. Brenda calls Sonny from Rochester to see how he was doing. 
 
Later, she has the infamous vampire fantasy right before she goes to bed. Sonny is sitting on the desk chair in his room, trying to exercise his arm and he begins thinking of Brenda, having the "CENSORED" fantasy (love that one!). Brenda calls Sonny again telling him how lonely she is since her friends are in love and she has no one. Sonny tells her to come home so that he can fix it for her. Sonny is lying in bed, reading the paper, when Luke calls from Kelly's. They speak in code wondering how the other is, and Sonny invites Luke over. When Luke arrives the two speak about what happened after Sonny was shot. Sonny tells Luke everything that Brenda did for him and then inquires about what happened with Frank. Luke tells Sonny that Frank disappeared but Sonny doubts if it was that Frank really disappeared or that Luke offed him. Luke asks Sonny if Frank asked him (Sonny) to kill him in which Sonny responded no because if that was the fact they'd have a problem. Brenda arrives later on and asks Sonny about the name of the body shop where she can get her car fixed on his tab. Sonny is sitting in his living room listening to music when Luke arrives and gives him the money that Frank owed them. Brenda comes in, bearing strawberries. Luke leaves and Brenda offers to cook dinner for Sonny, which he flatly refuses. He cooks for her instead.  Brenda showes up again a few days later, bringing Sonny homemade chicken soup. They discuss their date for the upcoming Friday to see The Idle Rich. Sonny arrives at Luke's house with a message from Frank Smith: back off Jennifer (Frank's daughter). Friday comes and Brenda comes to pick Sonny up for their date that night. When they show up at the Outback, Sonny meet up with an old neighborhood friend, Lois Marie Cerullo! There is a problem with the concert when Eddie Maine is a no-show. Miguel offers to take his place and since the show must go on, Lois agrees.

The next day is at a modeling shoot when Sonny shows up.

In the middle of her emotional speech to him his dinner date, a tall blonde named Cindy, shows up. Brenda is absolutely furious and takes it out on Cindy until Cindy decides to let them finish their conversation while she uses the bathroom. Brenda and Sonny have it out and she leaves furious, with the diamond bracelot because the clasp gets stuck and she can't remove it. That night Brenda fantasizes about Sonny. First, Sonny has a straight job and is very boring and nerdy and he won't even make love to her. In the second black and white fantasy, Sonny is dangerous and they have a sensous encounter.
 
Lois calls Sonny and invites him to lunch with her and her friend but doesn't mention it is with Brenda. Sonny gladly accepts the offer.

Sonny takes Brenda out to look for studio space. They talk about their relationship. Sonny plays it cool just to get on Brendas nerves, which works well.

They challange each other to a basketball game which almost causes a brawl between them but Brenda steps in and stops it. 
 
Sonny calls Brenda to ask her out but she says she can't because she has to go to a charity event with the Q's (the nurses ball). Sonny says okay but once they are off the phone Sonny immediately tries to get a hold of tickets so he can go see Brenda but he's told they are sold out. Stone is in the room practicing Romeo and Juliet which Robin and has asked him to perform with her at the Nurses Ball, in front of everyone, and he's embarrassed. Sonny gives him a pep talk and goes over the lines with him. It's sweet to see them both happy, healthy, and in love. It is also funny to hear Sonny recite Shakespeare. Sonny tracks down Lucy Coe, who is hosting the charity even and gives her a big "donation" in order to get himself a table right next to the Q's table. 
 
Everyone in town is at the Nurses Ball.  Brenda arrives in a black dress that isn't really a dress but some sort of mini top with long skirt made to appear like a dress... weird. She is on AJ and Jason's arms.  Brenda says hello to everyone at her table and told how beautiful she looks. Sonny comes up and surprises her. Brenda is thrilled to see him and quickly leaves her table to share his with him.  Lots of different acts take the stage including a very powerful performance of Romeo and Juliet by Stone and Robin (which is all the more emotional when you know what is coming up in their storyline, get the tissues ready). Miguel performs and along with all the other women there, Brenda becomes a little too excited which irritates Sonny. After the ball Sonny takes Brenda back to his place where Brenda finds it nessecary to call Lois and tell her about Miguels fabulous performance and how sexy all the girls thought he was. Sonny quickly seduces Brenda off the phone and they make love.
