 November 29, 1993 - April 8, 1994

Sonny meets Brenda on the docks and introduces himself.  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 subtlety 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… her name is 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 to 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 goes "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 Donnely 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 had 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 (Laura) 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 he (Sonny) tells him 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 quick 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 he (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, he (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 was that if Luke found out that he'd taken Laura to see Frank that he'd (Luke) would kill him (Sonny).  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.  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 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 fought him before running towards Lucky's room.  When they get there it's 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 cooled 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.  Later 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 were 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 so just imagine the comic relief.  Later on 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.  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 Donnely 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 Donnely.  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 Shawn Donnely 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 answered that he was driving in his new car and that it made its way to her front door.  He asked her out on a date, bringing them to the PC Grille.  When they got there, AJ inquired as to why she was going out with Sonny.  Brenda told him to mind his own business and to let her live her life.  She and Sonny then went on to enjoy a quiet dinner together.  Sonny showed up at Kelly's and took a seat.  Ruby took his order but told him that she didn'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 walked in pulled Sonny off of his chair and told him to get out of there.  Ruby stopped them from fighting and pulled Jagger into the kitchen.  When they got there she told him that he (Sonny) could come and go as he pleased at the moment only because he was working with Luke.  She came out with Sonny's order and warned him that if he hurt Luke that his life would be in danger.  Luke walked in and asked 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 walked into Kelly's as Sonny and Luke were finishing their conversation.  She joined him at his table.  Sonny told her that he wanted to call her and tell her that he really enjoyed their time together the night before but she told him that she thought they should cool it.  He asked her why she was listening to everyone's well meaning advice instead of finding out things on her own.  He asked her if she was going to "be satisfied for 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 noticed and decided that he was going to move closer to Brenda and play with her hair all for Jagger's enjoyment.  He told her that he'll see her soon and then left.  Jagger walked over to Brenda and asked her what she was doing and she told him to mind his business and that she'd do whatever she wanted.  Brenda called Sonny to thank him for the flowers that he'd sent over.  He later asked her to dinner to which she accepted.  Stone walked into the apartment.  Sonny was surprised to see him seeing as how they hadn't seen each other in awhile.  Stone told him that he'd just been hanging out for a while.  Sonny asked why he hadn't come home sooner seeing as how they were a team and were always there for each other.  Stone agreed with him, which caused Sonny to ask him if he was in or out in whatever the future held for them.  Stone told him that he was definitely in and then went on to inform Sonny that Karen and Jagger were getting married.  Sonny arrived at Luke's house where he was busy making fake id's.  Luke asked Sonny where they were stashing Frank after they broke him out of jail.  Sonny said that he hadn't thought about it yet and that they'd figure it out.  Laura walked in and told the duo that she might have found a safehouse for Frank.  Luke stepped out of the room for a minute so that he can get a map, leaving Sonny and Laura to talk amongst themselves.  Sonny asked Laura if Luke was really helping Frank escape or was he going to doublecross him in the end.  Laura told him that Luke would help get Frank out and that's it.  Sonny was fine with the answer.  Sonny called Brenda on his way to pick her up from the Quartermaine house and for her to go ahead and tell that he was on his way so that they could put on "their disapproving frowns".  Sonny arrived at the Q's and waited for Brenda in the living room.  AJ walked in and began trading insults  with Sonny.  Sonny calmly warned AJ that he should spend less time worrying about Brenda's pain and a little more about his own.  He told AJ that his mother taught him that if he should 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 out their lungs out by the roots because it's just not done in the better circles.  AJ asked if Sonny's mother would approve of Sonny's career choice.  As the two almost got into, Brenda showed up.  She went to get her coat and AJ followed asking when she was going to stop taking Karen's throwaways.  Sonny and Brenda were driving towards "the best restaurant in town" in his brand new car.  They shared their first kiss before he turned around and took her home.  Sonny and Luke were at Luke's house getting the last bit of the plans 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 met with Frank in jail where he told Frank everything that was about to go on with the breakout.  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 convince him otherwise, but still plead his loyalty to Frank.  Frank said that he'd think about it.  Sonny goes to see Luke at his home and tells him that he saw Frank… he told him that Frank was okay with the job.  Luke wonders if there's more.  Sonny tells him that they have to do the thing right with Frank, no surprises, no hidden agendas.  Luke understood what Sonny meant and told him that everything would 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 ells 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 (surprise, surprise) 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 Sony 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, fully disguised (yeah right, it's just a light brown mustache pasted above his lip, and a BAD wig on his head) 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 way 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 her 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, having Sonny invite Luke over.  When Luke arrives the two speak about what happened after Sonny was shot.  Sonny told Luke everything that Brenda did for him and then inquired about what happened with Frank.  Luke told Sonny that Frank disappeared but Sonny doubted if it was that Frank really disappeared or that Luke offed him.  Luke asked 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 arrived later on and asked Sonny about the name of the body shop so that she could get her car fixed.  Sony sat in his living room listening to music when Luke arrived and gave him the money that Frank owed.  Brenda came in, bearing strawberries.  Luke left and Brenda offered to cook dinner for Sonny, which he flatly refused.  He cooked for her instead.  Brenda showed up again a few days later, bringing Sonny homemade chicken soup.  They discussed their date the upcoming Friday to see The Idle Rich.  Sonny arrived at Luke's house with a message from Frank Smith: back off Jennifer (Frank's daughter).  Friday came and Brenda showed up to pick Sonny up for their date that night.  When they showed up at the Outback, Sonny met up with an old neighborhood friend… Lois Marie Cerullo!  They sat through Miguel's performance since Eddie Maine decided not to show up.  Lois later tried to convince Miguel to allow her to manage his music career.
