When Sonny returns, he tells her how glad he is that she was spending time with his daughter.

He doesn’t want any distance between them.

She wonders if that’s for the best.

Nina admits she had a good time with Donna but then Joss came and trashed that.

Nina doesn’t want to use Donna to fill that void. She needs to keep the boundaries very clear. When it comes to Donna, she’s just her friend.

He’ll follow her lead but would love for her to have a full relationship with his daughter.

Nina loves him but knows that the cards are stacked against them and they might not last.

He doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He sees a future with her and loves her more every day.

He’s in this for the long haul.

They kiss.

Carly explains that her friend would be letting herself in for a world of pain if she knew the truth. Denise doesn’t care about the reasons.

She confirmed Harmony’s story. The payment only covers the mother’s imaginary death.

If she wants her to claim the father is dead, that will cost her more.

Carly claims she’s not made of money and tells her she’s awful.

“I could be worse.

I could be paying someone to lie about someone’s parents being dead,” Denise points out, suggesting she look in the mirror sometime.

“Oh my god! You are sick, aren’t you?” he realizes.

He gives her a hug and she explains she delayed chemo to protect the baby.

She’s getting chemo now but it’s not enough.

Her best chance is a bone marrow transplant from a family member but she doesn’t have any.

Willow makes him promise to keep this quiet, even from Carly.

She can’t risk Wiley finding out.

He promises not to tell a soul but also promises to continue searching for her family.

When they head back in, Carly is waiting for them and acts surprised that her mom is dead.
