Dec. 15 

Carly confronts Franco and the mob proposes a deal with Julian and Sonny. Unfortunately, Julian and Sonny have no choice but to accept the deal as the tension is growing.

On Thursday, Elizabeth warns Sam, but Sam knows better and questions her reason for the warning. Little does Sam know that Elizabeth talks to Jake about his suspicions and Jake confronts Sam about it. Additionally, Julian gets information about the mob and Sonny and he are surprised to know about it.

To end the week, Maxie gets some good news and this will spill over until next week's episodes. Franco and Nina learn what would happen to them and Kiki stays by Morgan.
