Alexis opens her door to find Sonny.
Alexis: How's Carly?
Sonny: Better.
Alexis: Good. Come in.
Sonny: How are you doing?
Alexis: I'm not the one who survived a potentially fatal car accident and then showed up at my own funeral.
Sonny: Carly ran off into the night when she saw us together. We thought we killed her.
Alexis: I'm aware of that.
Sonny: So what now? Business as usual?
Alexis: Do you know how, when you have a dream in the middle of the night and it seems really real to you, and then when you wake up in the morning, you start to forget it?
Sonny: So is that what you want -- to forget what happened between us?
Alexis: Do you?
{ next scene }
Sonny: I mean, you know, I just can't forget what happened that night between us. Things matter to me.
Alexis: I know that about you.
Sonny: You matter.
Alexis: Carly is obviously still connected to you and you to Carly. And I can only imagine how difficult it was to explain to her that things with us went as far as it did.
Sonny: Carly has no memory of -- of anything that happened hours before the accident.
Alexis: Did you tell her?
Sonny: No, I didn't.
{ next scene }
Sonny: I -- I wasn't going to tell Carly, you know, in the hospital. I mean, it hurt her bad enough when she saw us together, and I want her to be fully recovered when -- before I try to make her remember.
Alexis: She can't recall any of that night?
Sonny: Not much -- I mean, water, drowning, fear. Doctor says she -- her memory might be lost for, like, a few days, maybe even a few years.
Alexis: Because of the trauma?
Sonny: She might've bumped her head in the accident, but it was -- they say, I don't know, it was nothing serious.
Alexis: So her memory loss isn't from anything physical?
Sonny: The point I'm trying to make is -- sooner or later, Carly's going to remember, and if she doesn't, I'm going to have to tell her about that night.
Alexis: I understand.
Sonny: Then -- I guess things, you know, will go back to, like, you know, they were.
Alexis: How is that, exactly? How were we?
{ next scene }
Alexis: Certainly not this. There is no way on this planet that we could have imagined, number one, that Carly would see us. Number two, that she would drive her car off a cliff. Three, be declared dead. And, four, show up again at her own funeral. These events are highly unlikely. And there is no way that this hasn't altered our relationship in some form or another --
Sonny: All right, just --
Alexis: So you don't have to tell me to breathe. I'm fine.
Sonny: I'll tell you -- I'll tell exactly how I feel right now and what I want.
{ next scene }
Alexis: You know, come to think of it, I don't think maybe we should have this conversation right now. In light of everything that's happened, we may say things that we mean right now that we don't mean tomorrow and so forth. You know, it's all in the context. You know what I'm saying.
Sonny: Ok.
Alexis: Ok. Good. Ok. That's it?
Sonny: Well, I mean --
Alexis: Ok.
Sonny: I don't need a lot of words.
Alexis: I do. I do. I like words. I love words. I surround myself in words. I feel very secure with words because I understand them, unlike a number of other things.
Sonny: I don't trust words, not like you do, but, you know, I still feel you have a right to know, you know, what's going on, how I feel and stuff. Whatever, you know.
Alexis: Ok. Let's talk about Carly.
{ next scene }
Sonny: Carly is safe. There's not much more to say about that. I mean --
Alexis: At the church -- when Carly showed up, you looked so relieved and so grateful.
Sonny: Why are you doing this, Alexis?
Alexis: Because we need to deal with Carly and be honest with each other, even if it hurts. So let's do it.
Sonny: All right.
