In the chapel, Sonny looks at the tablet and says a digital image can be manipulated, so why should he believe this is Jason? Ava thought the same thing, but Spinelli verified it. Sonny says that would mean not only is Jason alive, but he is working with the shooter. Ava says his best friend is now his enemy.
Sonny knows Jason would come to him if he had a problem with him and tell him to his face, not shoot him from a distance. Ava knows Jason was part of his family, but either someone is holding something over Jason’s head, or Jason is doing this of his own free will. Sonny insists Jason wouldn’t do this to him. Ava asks why Jason hasn’t come to him, to warn him when he knows those people want him dead.
Ava reminds him he said there had to be someone on the inside who was working against him, and who knows his methods and security better than Jason. She also says the man behind the attacks has been going by the name Stone, as in Stone Cold. Ava thinks Jason may be back to take him out. Sonny insists there is no way Jason would do this to him.
