Morgan's maternal baby half-sister Josslyn Jacks is born on October 29, 2009, when Carly is kidnapped by Claudia Zacchara.

During Thanksgiving 2009, Morgan hooks the two back again. Morgan attends Josslyn's christening on January 29, 2010. When his father Sonny Corinthos does not show up at Josslyn's christening, Morgan and Michael both become worried. After Dominic is shot by Sonny for being an undercover cop, Michael tells Morgan that Dominic's real name is Detective Dante Falconeri, and that he's their brother. When they go to tell Kristina and Molly about this, Michael ends up revealing that he killed Claudia when Kristina berates their dad for killing his own wife.

It is revealed that Morgan found Ava's daughter, Kiki (who is now his girlfriend) online while getting caught in the gambling ring scheme. In an effort to help him, Kiki invites some of her friends over to gamble and try to win the money back.

Kiki follows him to Port Charles.

He questions Michael when Kiki's purse is gone through and Morgan blames Michael for coming onto his girlfriend when Morgan sees them close and in only towels. Morgan goes over to Pozzulo's (his father's restaurant) where he hears his mother Carly talking that they need to the pull the trigger. Morgan rightfully assumes that they are talking about knocking someone off, but Carly covers. Morgan is informed that Kiki is from a wealthy family and she is to inherit shares in a company. He later finds out that she is related to the Quartermaines, and is relieved to know that Michael & Kiki are cousins, ending the attraction between them. Morgan & Kiki move into the boathouse at the Quartermaine house to try and find their own living space.

Morgan still worries about the attraction between Michael and Kiki, which he confronts them about. They insist nothing is going on. However, Michael later admits that he and Kiki kissed before they knew they were cousins. Morgan is furious, and punches Michael in retaliation. Morgan goes to the hospital, looking for Kiki, and overhears Ava lying to Dr. Silas Clay about Kiki's age. Morgan confronts her later, and Ava admits that Kiki is actually Silas' biological daughter, not Franco's, as everyone assumes. Morgan wants to tell Kiki, but Ava tells him not to because Kiki might leave him for Michael. Morgan goes back to the Quartermaine mansion and proposes to Kiki, who accepts.

When Carly finds out about the engagement, she is livid and tells Sonny. Eventually, Sonny talks to Morgan, who reveals that Kiki isn't Franco's daughter, and he's afraid of losing her to Michael. When Sonny tries to convince Morgan to let Kiki go if she's in love with someone else, Morgan guilt-trips his dad, accusing him of loving Michael more than him, to get him to stay quiet. Sonny reluctantly agrees to show Morgan he does love him. Morgan also guilt-trips Michael into serving as his best man.

Morgan's secret doesn't last long, though, because Sonny's girlfriend, Connie, overhears their conversation and prints it in the newspaper trying to save her company. Morgan goes to the main house the day after he gave Kiki a ring, and overhears Tracy, AJ Quartermaine, and Elizabeth Webber talking about Kiki's paternity being revealed in the newspaper, and Tracy now having control of ELQ. Morgan runs back to the boathouse, and convinces Kiki to come to the court house with him to get a marriage license. Morgan takes Kiki's phone out from her bag and drops it under the bed before they leave.

At the courthouse, Michael tries calling Morgan, who doesn't answer. Eventually Mac Scorpio and Felicia Jones show up, and recognize Kiki from the paper. Morgan deflects their explanation long enough for them to be called to get a marriage license. After acquiring it, Morgan tries to convince Kiki to get married in a court. Initially reluctant, Kiki accepts. Morgan's manipulations work as Michael is too late to stop the ceremony. Michael tries to use the reveal of her true paternity in his favor and explain that Morgan has manipulated the situation, but Morgan uses a clever answer and herds his new bride out of the courthouse before Kiki can process the information.

Kiki cuts her mother out of her life, wanting nothing to do with her after finding out the truth about her paternity. Ava then goes to Morgan, blackmailing him into helping out her relationship with Kiki in exchange for her not telling Kiki about him lying about not knowing the truth about Kiki's father.

Soon after, Connie is killed, and Morgan goes to find his father. Instead, he finds Olivia Falconeri, Dante's mother, and both of them realize that Sonny, in his grief, has decided to commit suicide. Morgan, Dante, Olivia, and Kiki convene to figure out where Sonny is. Morgan is annoyed when they suggest calling Michael, since he is worried about AJ, who has been accused of Connie's murder. Dante convinces Morgan to call Michael, since he knows Sonny better than anyone. Eventually, they find Sonny on the Haunted Star with a gun, and they manage to talk him down.

Morgan & Michael decide to put their differences aside, and start reconciling. Meanwhile, Ava wants to hold a reception party for Morgan & Kiki. Though Kiki is against it, Morgan convinces her to, on the condition that she invites Silas. Kiki & Morgan are evicted from the Quartermaine house, and try to find their own place. Before the party, Ava confronts Morgan about him using her credit card to gamble online, and threatens to expose him to Kiki. Morgan talks her down, and they go to the party. Sonny comes to the party, completely off his antidepressants. He makes a scene there about AJ killing Connie, and reveals to everyone that Morgan knew Kiki was Silas' daughter before they got married, and lied about it.

Morgan is furious with his dad for exposing him, and thinks he's choosing Michael over him. Morgan insults Connie's memory to Sonny, who tries to strangle him. Carly & Olivia get Sonny out of there, and Michael & Kiki confront Morgan, who claims that he had to lie because the two of them forced him to. Kiki says she won't let his lie go, and breaks up with him on the spot. Morgan, with nowhere to go, ends up on Ava's doorstep, and tells her Kiki has left him. Ava shares how Silas rejected her when she wanted a second chance with him. The two talk about their mutual heartbreaks, and end up having sex that night.

Carly then finds out about Morgan having slept with Ava, along with Kiki and Michael finding out about them also the next morning in Ava's hotel room at The Metro Court. Morgan refuses to bow to Carly's anger, and then throws his relationship with Ava in both Michael & Kiki's faces. He refuses to accept blame, claiming they're responsible for ruining his marriage, and that Ava is the only one he can trust. Ava leaves the hotel after Carly threatens to kick her out, and Morgan moves in with her, claiming he has no place to go. On October 29th, Kiki tells Michael that her marriage to Morgan was annulled. Morgan overhears Ava talking to "Derek" who she calls Julian as in Julian Jerome. Morgan confronts them and says he is going to tell Sonny but ends up not saying anything but at the same time Julian orders Carlos to kill Morgan but he says didn't say anything to Sonny. He ends up joining forces with the Jeromes to take Sonny down.

In January, after accidentally shooting Max Giambetti on New Years Eve, Morgan decides that the mob life is too much and he wants out. He goes to Julian and tells him that he is done, but Julian refuses and threatens to hurt Morgan's family if he does not became a mole in his father's organization. In order to keep up the ruse, Julian demands that Morgan pretend to cut ties with all the Jeromes, which means he has to also pretend to end his relationship with Ava. Sonny figures out that Morgan never cut ties with the Jeromes. On January 28, Morgan goes to see his father and explains why he double crossed him. Sonny said he could come back but he needs to stop working for the Jeromes and break up with Ava. After their talk, Morgan breaks up with Ava over a text.
