Lovers come and go but the unwavering friendship of Carly and Jason never seems to fade.

 She had been trying so hard to deal with the grief of having a miscarriage, but once alone, she cracked.  Jason didn't need to say a thing, he only held onto her tightly.  "It's not fair.  I wanted my baby." she sobbed.  When she finally let go, she asked him pointedly why he didn't tell her that Michael had bought a gun.

 He knew that although his intention was to protect her, his actions were wrong.  Both angry and hurt, she laid into him.  "When did I become such an annoyance to you, Jason?  You always tell me when I'm doing something wrong, but I never felt like you had to tolerate me, and now I feel that's all you do."

Carly's hatred of Elizabeth was at the core of her and Jason's rift.  "You can't ask me to stop or sit here and listen to you trash her,"  Jason said.  "You do things all the time I don't agree with, that I don't like, and I stand by you.  Why can't you stand by me?"

She tried to explain her need to be first in his life, saying that with everyone she loved, she feared that she'd push them too far and they'd just leave.  But that wasn't a fear with Jason.  H would still be there no matter what, and she'd always be there for him, too.

After tensions cooled, they talked of her brush with death and her crazy hallucinations of them playing pool at Jake's.  "My soul was stuck in the corner between death and life, and you came and got me.  That makes us soul mates," she beamed.  "I don't believe it, I know it and you know it too.  You just have to admit it."

Steve Burton and Laura Wright played every possible emotional beat and very easily convinced us that their characters cosmic connection only grows with time
