Thy betrayer; thy son

For once, the events leading up to the moment of truth so to speak were not more thrilling than the confrontation itself.

As everyone was getting ready for Joselyn's Christening; Sonny called Dominic/Dante for a last minute "job" he needed done.

As Dominic/Dante arrived at Sonny's house to find no guards, he knew something was up and the conversation he had with "the boss" led him to saying he'd be dead by the end of the night.

Dominic/Dante had figured out that Sonny knew something was up and decided, why wait for the Christening to be over, he would pull put his badge and do what he came to Port Charles to do -- arrest Sonny.

Unfortunately, Sonny had other plans and he took out his gun and pointed it at Dominic/Dante as he stared at him with stone cold eyes.
I give both Maurice Bernard and Dominic Zamprogna props for their acting in their scenes. Sonny was as cold as a mobster could be and Dominic/Dante was calm and collected despite having a gun pointed at his chest.


Sonny somewhat "laughed" at the detective as Dominic/Dante tried to read him his rights; Sonny wasn't having any of it and basically told the undercover cop that his body would never be found. No offense to Sonny, but shooting Dominic/Dante in his living room didn't really make much sense, but I digress.

When Sonny asked him if he had any last words, Dominic/Dante told his story about Lt. Perretti (sp) and Sonny was unmoved or unphased even going as far as to say "he deserved probably it."


Telling Sonny to pray for his children so they never had to see him like this was one of the best foreshadowing, intentional or not, I've seen on this show for a long time. As Sonny pulled the trigger he sort of looked away; maybe that's because Sonny had told Dominic/Dante that he "had liked him and in some way he still did."

Like him or not, Sonny put a bullet into Dominic/Dante's chest! The look on Sonny's face as he stood over Dominic/Dante's body was almost of sincerity, like he wished it didn't have to go as far as it had.


Just as Sonny was poised to take another shot to ensure that Dominic/Dante was finished; Olivia came screaming into the room first for her fallen son Dante and then, she looked with pure fear and terror in her eyes as she told Sonny, "You just shot your own son!"

We all know that Dante is going to live and thankfully he can stick to one name now or at least I hope he sticks to one name.

But in the aftermath of the shooting look for many lives to change, first and foremost the lives of Sonny, Dante and Olivia. The three of them will have to deal with the consequences of Olivia's choice to keep the truth from the two men. Who will forgive who? Will Dante now finally be pulled off the Corinthos case or will he testify against his own father in court when Sonny is arrested for Claudia's murder?

Lulu will have to answer to a few people as well. She has known for a long time that Dominic was really Dante and what his mission in Port Charles was. Will Carly forgive Josselyn's godmother for not warning her? Lulu also lashes out at Sonny for shooting Dante, leading us to believe that she is in fact truly in love with Dante. Can the two young lovers overcome what has transpired?

Carly will not only have to deal with finding out her cousin lied to her, but also her only female friend, Olivia; and of course her husband, Jax. Is this truly the end of CarJax? Will Carly ever forgive her husband for yet another lie and his part in the cover-up?

One thing for sure, this weeks GH is shaping up to be another phenomenal treat for the viewers. We have the truth about Dante, Liz unraveling and so much more on the horizon.

Who do you think, if anyone, is justified in their actions? With the possible ending of CarJax looming and Olivia's betrayal - does this open the door for yet another CarSon reunion?
