It takes a lot to break the impenetrable shell that is Jason "Stone Cold" Morgan. It has to be something tragic, devastating, and guilt-ridden to tear Jason down. That is exactly what happened when his nephew/one-time surrogate son Michael Corinthos was wheeled into the ER. Jason's worst fears for his own child Jake were realized for the 12-year old when sniper Dr. Ian Devlin accidentally shot him instead of his father Sonny. Although appearing strong for Carly's sake, the revelation that Michael would likely not wake up struck the enforcer straight through his heart. Unable to cope on his own, he turned to his often-shunned mother, Monica Quartermaine. The cardiologist, currently sitting pretty in rehab, was a perfect choice for Jason to receive comfort. The two recently reconciled, and for the first time since the accident 13 years ago, Jason felt comfortable with his mom.
When Jason went to see Monica, it seemed like an information relay about Michael's condition. However, Jason quickly folded as he explained her estranged grandson's condition, needing his mom to hold him. After gaining some composure, Jason revealed how he blamed himself for Michael's accident. Monica quickly shot him down, explaining that the choices he made were not malicious. She also gave Jason the relief he needed by forgiving him for taking Michael away from the family, hoping that he would also forgive himself.
Ever since that accident in 1996 that turned Jason Quartermaine into Jason Morgan, he and his rich family were terribly disjointed. Although he came to somewhat tolerate his volatile relatives, it wasn't until they slowly started disappearing did he show a real longing for them. Now that he and Monica have officially buried the hatchet, it seems that the great divide is FINALLY beginning to close.
Here are the scenes (mixed with some others) from the last two days:
Its so nice to such a progression, considering where they were in November (see below):
