Second Chances |New Beginnings
In early 2009, when Michael woke up from his year long coma, Sam supported Jason and was there for him when he needed her, encouraging him
and giving him advice. When Sam's sister Kristina causes Sonny's latest wife Claudia to crash her car and lose her unborn child, Kristina and her half
brother Michael run away to Mexico. Sam and Jason track the siblings and Sam is kidnapped by Jerry, luring Jason into a trap. During the ensuing
shootout, Jason is pinned beneath a pile of rubble and Jerry shoots him twice and left him for dead. Sam escapes and returns just in time to rescue
Jason and takes care of him. Sam helps her former lover heal and for a while, Jason starts hallucinating that he is in Hawaii with Sam. Jason and Sam
grow closer as Sam nurses him back to health and at the end of the ordeal, they end up making love, but decide not to talk about it. Once on the road again,
they find the teens and return to Port Charles. After they return, Jason and Sam remain drawn to each other and they soon admit they have feelings for one another.
Sam: Good things they don’t last for me, Jason. I make the wrong choices. I lie when
I should tell the truth, and I go when I should stay, and sometimes being with you
is the best thing that I’ve ever done, and I’m afraid that I’m gonna mess it up.
Sam and Jason continue to grow closer in their relationship and admit that they are in love with each other right before Christmas time. Sam, Carly and Lulu
are taken by the crazed artist Franco. Jason rescues Carly and Sam while Dante rescues Lulu. Sam was never in actual danger, but Jason feels bad when it is
believed that the only bomb Franco set nearly killed Lulu and Dante. He later reassures Sam that he does not regret coming after her first. Jason was
supportive of Sam and helped her deal with her own emotional pain over her past abusive relationship, when it was discovered that her sister
Kristina was being abused by her boyfriend Kiefer. Later, Jason helped Sam deal with the fact that her mother had been the one to run him down.
With Jason as her anchor, Sam was there for her sisters and mother, counseling and reassuring them throughout the ordeal. Jason made a deal with
prosecutor Claire Walsh and had himself sent to prison to protect Michael. While upset, Sam agreed with his decision and supported him protecting Michael.
Before Jason turns himself in, they go away together and spend a few days at a cabin. When Jason finally went in to prison, Sam remained supportive
and visited him regularly. He was finally released as bait to catch Franco. The hunt for Franco ensues and Franco shows up at Jason’s penthouse to taunt
Sam when she was there alone. Jason and Dante track Franco to California to stop him and once he is presumed dead, Jason is sent back to prison.
However due to a loophole in his plea bargain, he is permanently released from prison and free to resume his life with Sam.
The Wedding|Dragon and Phoenix
Jason propose to Sam during a romantic dinner on the roof, and Sam accepts. Jason ends up getting into a car accident, and is admitted
to the hospital with a head injury. Jason pulls through, determined to get better in time for his and Sam's wedding. Overwhelmed by the
wedding planning, the two of them decide to drive around on Jason's motorcycle. They end up at a Chinese restaurant, where the owner
happens to be an ordained minister. Jason and Sam get married in the restaurant's garden. They leave for their honeymoon to Hawaii.
“ Jason, you stand beneath the symbol of the d r a g o n. Sam, you stand beneath the symbol of the p h o e n i x.
For the union between a bride and a groom is the union between phoenix and the dragon. The dragon, the symbol of strength,
can scare off evil spirits, protect the innocent, bless those around him with safety, and bring wealth to those who hold his emblem.
The phoenix, goddess of all winged creatures, harvests luck, success, and prosperity. She can turn bad luck into good.
Together, the phoenix and the dragon are the ultimate sign of yin and yang. Male, female. Strength and beauty.
Alone, they bring happiness, but together, they bring d o u b l e h a p p i n e s s.
