What's next for Michael?


Today's scenes with Micheal and Carly were great.

First we got to see the young man snap at his mother for trying to protect him and then blamed Jason for the whole thing (why does that sound so familiar?). Carly had heard enough when her first born bad mouthed her best friend.

I was impressed when Carly called him a punk because that is exactly what he has been acting like for months now.

The best part of that exchange was that Carly was still trying to be a supportive, caring mother while explaining that Jason is trying to protect, not hurt him.

Michael then took a stab at self-pity by trying to say he wasn't worth anyone's protection and that he didn't want to be a burden to anyone - like Carly would ever let him believe that!

Michael then finally admitted, after Carly told him for the millionth time that killing Claudia was an accident and not a right of passage into Sonny's world, that he was having nightmares about killing his evil step-mom.

It was great to hear Michael show that type of emotion instead of acting like he's a cold-hearted killer. Maybe Michael can start to heal and become a normal teenager, not that ever really happens in Port Charles.

The question is, during the last sequence, Michael was holding his phone and Lucky's number; will he call Lucky and confess or will Sonny arrive in time again to talk him out of it? My money's on the latter. No way will Sonny allow Michael to tell what really happened - no matter how much his son is suffering.

The second question is - is Sonny being a good father by covering up what really happened to Claudia? Carly at least has been going back and forth with wanting the truth to come out. She truly is conflicted, but what's Sonny's excuse?
