Sonny tries to pay off Gladys to claim that her son Brando had a fictional wife who he married in Iraq and brought back to the U.S. where his wife died giving birth to Dev. Gladys argues that Brando died during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq in 2003 and he didn't have any kids. After Sonny offers her more money, Gladys agrees to the deal.
Sasha is the daughter of Robert Scorpio and Holly Sutton and is from Chappaqua, NY. According to Sasha was raised by a single mother named Amanda whom she loved very much. And after Amanda passed, all the family that Sasha had left was her grandmother.
