"Were you able to talk some sense into Kellie?" Sonny asked as Jason walked in.

"We really didn't talk about Ethan," Jason said.

"She won't listen to me," Sonny said, "You have a better chance of getting her to listen than me."

"I'm not entirely sure she's wrong," Jason said, "I think we should look into her idea little further"

"I am not hearing this," Sonny said, "I know I said I'd let her be involved before. But I cannot in good conscience, let her handle this. Not this way."

"Just killing Ethan leaves us open to retaliation from his organization," Jason said, "Kellie's plan takes out Ethan and the organization. Whoever takes over may not be happy with just coming after our territory. He may want to take over everyone else's territory. You think the other bosses will be forgiving if killing Ethan makes them vulnerable to attack?"

"I don't want Kellie involved," Sonny said.

"She's already involved," Jason said, "That's a done deal. If Kellie wasn't your daughter, would you consider her plan?"

"We're not dealing in hypotheticals here, Jason," Sonny said, "The reality is she is my daughter and I don't want her involved."

"Stop thinking like a father and start thinking like a businessman, Sonny," Jason said, "You're not focusing on all aspects of the situation. Kellie has information and connections that we don't have. She also knows Ethan better than any of us."

"She can consult," Sonny said, "But actually doing anything is another story."

"Kellie doesn't follow your orders," Jason said, "I wouldn't expect her start now. She'll find a way to be involved whether you like it or not. In that case, we won't know what she's up to. If we all work together, we'll know what she's up to and can keep her safer."

"She's enough like me as it is without adding thinking like us into the mix," Sonny said.

"It bothers you that Kellie is as calculating and cool as she is when it comes to the business," Jason said, "If she wasn't, who knows what Ethan would have done with her by now."

"I can't watch her shrug off things that make most people flinch," Sonny said.

"You're asking her be someone she's not," Jason said, "Kellie was asking me how I ended up working for you. When I told her it was because you didn't have expectations of who I should be after the accident, unlike the Quartermaines, she got a pretty good laugh out of that. She could make that Sonny Corinthos fit with the Sonny Corinthos who constantly expects her to do things that are out of character for her."

"I'm her father, not yours," Sonny said.

"I told her that," Jason said, "And she pointed out that I didn't appreciate my parents forcing who they thought I should be on me either. Just think about it, Sonny."

Sonny was silent.

"Would it help if you didn't have much to do with the planning," Jason asked, "Leave everything to Kellie and I. If we need you, we'll let you know."

Sonny thought about it. "You're like a brother to me," Sonny said, "And the only person who doesn't have a personal stake in this. You're probably seeing things clearer than Kellie or I. You're in charge, but if there's a problem, you have to come to me."

"It goes without saying," Jason said, starting to leave.

"Jason, I am trusting you with my daughter's life," Sonny said, "Don't mess this up."
