I Had Pity For Both Morgan And Kiki During This Period

Better Essays

My Commentary: I had pity for both Morgan and Kiki during this period. Morgan was making strides, and the chain of events that led to him losing Kiki and his life wouldn 't have happened if it weren 't for Ava stealing his meds. It was heartbreaking to hear how confused and disenchanted he was in his recovery journals (11/4), trying to do everything by the book and still failing.

Now I suppose anyone who ever did (veiled reference to Nikolas?) is gone," and dashes off to crumble on the elevator. Carly 's bouts of rage were everything (I can 't come up with a suitable adjective, so we 'll go with "everything"). On 10/12, Sonny got it about Julian 's hit. Before smashing a childhood photo of Morgan, she fumed, "...A bomb blew him up. You couldn 't help yourself could you? You had to be the one to finish Julian.
