Characterization[]
Jason Morgan and his twin brother, Drew Cain, were conceived during an affair between their father, Alan Quartermaine, and Susan Moore. Several months into her pregnancy, Susan fled Port Charles for New York City to stay with her cousin, Heather Webber. Fearing Alan would find her and take their child back to Port Charles, Susan avoided ultrasounds. Heather enlisted Nurse Betsy Frank to check on the baby's well-being. During the examination, Betsy discovered two heartbeats, revealing Susan was carrying twins.
In distress and knowing that Alan was on her trail, Susan was overwhelmed by the idea of escaping with two infants. Heather observed that the Quartermaines didn't know about the second child and advised Susan to go back to Port Charles with one baby to settle the custody issue, and then keep the other child a secret. Susan went back with the elder, Jason, while Drew stayed with Betsy, who consented to look after him until Susan could return.
Following Jason's birth, Alan provided financial support but got entangled in a custody dispute over his other son, A.J. Quartermaine. Jason lived with his mother and stepfather, Scott Baldwin, until her death, after which he briefly stayed with Susan's aunt, Alice Grant. Alan later brought him to the Quartermaine mansion to live with himself, Monica, and the rest of the family, who remained oblivious to Drew's existence.
Monica initially struggled with the presence of Alan's illegitimate son in her house but eventually came to love Jason as her own and adopted him. Jason and A.J. spent their early years in the mansion before being sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. They returned in 1991, coinciding with Burton's first appearance as Jason.
Sonny Corinthos, Carly Spencer, Damian Spinelli, and Robin Scorpio-Drake are his best friends.
Jason is the father of three children (one of which is deceased):
- A deceased unnamed and unborn child, conceived with his late ex-wife, Courtney Matthews. Miscarried in August of 2003. Jason and Courtney believed their child was a girl and wanted to name her Emily, after Jason's sister.
- A son named Jacob Martin, who goes by Jake and shares Jason's initials, was born in May 2007 from a one-night stand with Nurse Elizabeth Webber. In 2011, it was believed that Jake had perished in a hit-and-run caused by his legal paternal grandfather, Luke Spencer. However, four years later, on July 6, 2015, it was revealed that Jake was alive and on Cassadine Island with Helena Cassadine. Elizabeth has maintained full custody of Jake since his birth.[54]
- A son named, Daniel Edward, who goes by Danny and bears his paternal great-grandfather's middle name, was born in June of 2012, conceived with his ex-wife, Sam McCall. Jason and Sam have shared custody.
He regards his nephew, Michael Corinthos, as his own son and is fully dedicated to protecting him at all costs, a commitment that began the moment he first held him. Due to Carly's postpartum depression, he raised Michael for the first year of his life and thinks of him as his firstborn.
Jason and Sam tied the knot on September 22, 2011. In October 2012, following the presumed death of their son at birth, they were joyfully reunited with Danny. However, their happiness was short-lived as Jason was soon presumed dead after being shot in the back and pushed into the pier by Cesar Faison, who was disguised as Duke Lavery, sparking the Jason Morgan Conspiracy.
In 2014, a man believed to be Jason returned to Port Charles but was struck by a car driven by Ava Jerome while fleeing from Helena Cassadine's henchmen. The accident severely disfigured his face and left him gravely injured, necessitating life-saving and reconstructive facial surgery at the hospital, which altered his appearance entirely. Upon awakening with amnesia, he adopted the name "Jake Doe," and despite his unknown identity, many felt a connection to him.
In November 2015, Carly managed to deduce his true identity when a facial recognition program developed by Spinelli matched "Jake's" face with Jason Morgan's, and a subsequent DNA test confirmed a 100% match. Carly informed "Jake" of his identity as Jason, and although initially in denial, he eventually accepted the truth without regaining his memories. By 2016, "Jason" had recovered his memories and continued his life.
In 2017, an enigmatic individual referred to as "Patient 6" arrived in Port Charles, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Jason's pre-accident appearance. DNA testing indicated that both "Jason" and "Patient 6" were matches to Jason Morgan, revealing them as identical twins. It was soon discovered that "Patient 6" was the real Jason Morgan, and the man thought to be Jason since 2014 was in fact his twin, Andrew Cain. Drew had been manipulated by Dr. Andre Maddox into believing he was Jason, following orders from Cesar Faison and his son Henrik, also known as Peter August. Their scheme involved brainwashing Drew to assume Jason's identity and then deploying him to Port Charles as a sleeper agent programmed to carry out assassinations without any recollection of the acts. Faison disclosed that he targeted Drew for the brainwashing because the technique would not be effective on Jason due to his previous brain injuries.
Drew was reluctant to step out of Jason's life after his true identity came to light. Upon his return, Sam, who had developed feelings for Drew, ended her marriage with Jason. Yet, when Sam recognized her affection for Drew's guise as Jason, they parted ways, paving the path for her reconciliation with Jason. Despite this, Jason's steadfast loyalty to the mob led to another separation. Following a year of discord, Jason and Drew started to repair their bond, fostering mutual respect but not regarding each other as brothers or friends. However, when Shiloh, their shared adversary, aimed to extract Drew's original memories to implant them into Jason, Drew expressed genuine concern for Jason's safety, even referring to him as his brother.
He and his late newfound nephew, Oscar Nero-Quartermaine, were close and was completely heartbroken after learning of his death.

Originally an ambitious and ethical teenager with dreams of becoming a doctor, the character transformed into an enforcer and hitman for the Corinthos crime family. Jason Quartermaine's life took a tragic turn in 1995 when a car accident, caused by his brother A.J., left him with brain damage and amnesia. Before the accident, Jason was portrayed as a warm, charming, and friendly young man, excelling academically and serving as the soccer team captain in high school.
Following the accident, Jason's personality changed dramatically. Waking from his coma with amnesia, he transformed from "preppy and wholesome" to "angry, stoic, and emotionless." Jason would experience fits of rage and was even given the nickname "anger boy." He felt estranged from the Quartermaines, except for his sister Emily and grandmother Lila and chose to use his middle name, Morgan, which was also Lila's maiden name.
Overwhelmed by expectant recognition, he distanced himself from family and girlfriend Keesha Ward, aligned with mobster Sonny Corinthos, and became Jason Morgan. Only his high school friend Robin Scorpio reached out, leading to deep love. Known as "stone cold," Jason rarely showed personality, except with those closest to him. Now reserved and stoic, he remains complex, with a moral compass Robin describes as almost schizophrenic. Despite emotional struggles, Jason displayed compassion, supporting Robin after Stone Cates' death and encouraging her to live fully with HIV. Their romance ended, but their strong friendship persisted.
Over time, Jason's relationship with the Quartermaines warmed. After experiencing amnesia for a second time in 2005 and regaining only his memories as Jason Morgan, he stated that the car accident was the best thing that had ever happened to him. The death of his father, Alan, and Michael's coma-induced year of reflection led Jason to be more receptive to his mother Monica and eventually his grandfather Edward. This softening is evident in his choice to name his son Daniel Edward after his grandfather.
Despite his high-ranking position in the Corinthos mob, Jason is somewhat of a vigilante and has often helped to bring down criminals worse than he and Sonny. He frequently displays loyalty and compassion to his loved ones and friends, and can be roused to phenomenal fury whenever his loved ones are harmed or endangered. He has a great deal of kindness and affection towards Sonny's children: Michael, Kristina and Morgan. He has also shown to care a great deal for Molly Lansing-Davis despite his history of enmity with her father, Ric Lansing.
Although Jason had a prominent role in Michael's upbringing and was also involved in the lives of Sonny and Carly's other children, he was notably absent for most of his own sons childhoods and adolescence.
Jason is also surprisingly perceptive and shows an impressive deductive streak; for example, when Kristina was beaten and hospitalized by her boyfriend, Kiefer and told everyone that Ethan Lovett was her attacker, Jason was the first to realize she was lying when nearly everyone else in Port Charles, including Kristina's own parents, were completely fooled.Storylines[]
When Jason and A.J. returned from boarding school, Jason, who was a successful student and athlete, was treated as the family favorite while A.J. was failing and dealing with alcoholism.
In September 1992, Jason celebrated his 18th birthday and entered his senior year of high school, along with Karen Wexler and Jagger Cates.
Jason had relationships with Karen, Brenda Barrett, and Keesha Ward, whom A.J. also loved. Jason had supported Monica through her health crisis and adored his adoptive sister, Emily Quartermaine. In December 1995, an intoxicated A.J. ran his car into a tree. Jason, who had been attempting to stop A.J. from driving, was in the passenger seat and hit his head on a large boulder after being ejected from the car.
To spare A.J., his cousin Ned Quartermaine claimed responsibility for the accident. Jason suffered brain injuries that resulted in total memory loss. Upon waking up from his coma, Jason had no recollection of his past and resented all the Quartermaines except his grandmother and Emily. He moved out of the Quartermaine Mansion and changed his last name to Morgan, to honor his grandmother, Lila Morgan Quartermaine. He became Sonny Corinthos' enforcer in his mob business and began to date Robin Scorpio. Due to the fact that Robin was HIV-positive, Jason began to sleep with Carly Roberts but Jason chose to be with Robin instead. Jason and Carly still remained friends. Jason, working for Sonny, discovered that drugs were being imported, which caused his sister, Emily to collapse. Due to the fact that the mob was too much for Robin, the couple split up but Jason held a promise never to be romantically involved with Carly.
To assist Carly, Jason feigned paternity of her child to prevent either of the two men she had been with from claiming the baby. When Robin returned to Port Charles, Jason admitted the child was A.J.'s, as proven by a paternity test, but he wished to act as the father until Carly could care for her son. Jason and Robin rekindled their relationship and became intimate for the first time. Following a near-fatal explosion that targeted Robin, Jason abandoned the mob life. Carly's discharge from the hospital strained Jason and Robin's relationship. Robin disclosed to A.J. that he was Michael's father, hoping to liberate Jason and the baby from Carly's influence, which plunged Carly into depression and led to her departure. Furious, Jason ended his relationship with Robin, prompting her to leave town.
Jason and Michael grew close during this period, although Jason briefly lost custody of Michael. A.J. and Carly wed, and a judge granted joint custody to Jason, Carly, and A.J. Concerned that his animosity towards A.J. might affect Michael, Jason relinquished all his rights, yet remained an integral part of Michael's life. Jason started to console Elizabeth Webber after her boyfriend's death. Misinterpreting their closeness, Carly slept with Sonny. Overwhelmed by Sonny and Carly's betrayal, Jason left town. Eventually, Sonny and Carly's relationship solidified, leading to Sonny's adoption of Michael, which Jason came to accept.
Jason was forced to protect Sonny's sister, Courtney Matthews, when she was being stalked by A.J. Quartermaine. Jason and Courtney began a relationship which they had to keep secret, fearing Carly and Sonny's disapproval. Carly was overjoyed once discovering. After Luis Alcazar was murdered, Brenda and Jason became the prime suspects and were forced to wed to refrain from testifying against each other they divorced soon after, and Sonny discovered Courtney and Jason's affair which led to him firing Jason. Sonny eventually gave his approval and Courtney and Jason became engaged. However, on the night of their wedding, their best friend Carly was kidnapped. Courtney was pregnant, but lost the baby when trying to escape from Lorenzo Alcazar. Eventually, she and Jason married in France but due to the mob lifestyle, they divorced.
Jason and Sam McCall were arrested for aiding and abetting Sonny. Jason offered her a million dollars to leave town when he discovered that Sonny and Sam had had an affair while he was married to Carly. Sam refused and moved in with Sonny. Sonny and Carly reconciled, but Jason discovered that Sam was pregnant with Sonny's child. Jason prevented her from having an abortion and when she was planning on leaving town, Jason convinced her to stay, with Jason pretending to be the father of Sam's baby in order to protect Sonny and Carly's reconciliation. Sam moved into the penthouse with Jason although the two have tension over their predicament they begin a friendship. Jason convinces Sam that they should marry to make everyone believe they are having this baby and although they did make it to the altar, their wedding did not go through.
When Sam's violent ex-boyfriend attempts to kidnap her, Jason rescues her. When it is believed that she was responsible for burning down her mother's house and killing her, Jason discovers that Sam is protecting her disabled brother Danny who was actually responsible. Jason has Danny sent to a school out of state to protect him. When Sonny and Alexis Davis' daughter Kristina is ill, Sam is asked to provide the stem cells but before she could come to that decision she gives birth to a stillborn baby girl which Jason gets to hold. Jason is there when she awakes and is forced to tell her that her baby died. Jason and Sam return to the penthouse and mourn the death of the child that would have been theirs.
Jason and Sam share their first kiss after his sister Emily's wedding. After their second kiss they agree to just be friends only and Sam leaves the penthouse. Eventually Jason asks her to return and live with him. Sam asks Jason to help her raise a little girl she has been given custody of, and although they make an initial attempt at gaining full custody, it falls through and Sam leaves Jason in hurt and anger. When Sonny's daughter Kristina is discovered missing, Jason is shot in the side attempting to rescue Sam who was accused of the kidnapping.
When all three of Sonny's children were eventually kidnapped, Jason and Sam worked together to discover that A.J. Quartermaine and Faith Rosco were the kidnappers. When Michael was believed to be killed Sam helped Jason discover he was still alive and being brainwashed by his biological father A.J.. Jason and Sam worked together to help Michael get the psychiatric care he needed in the aftermath of his kidnapping, however Jason learned that the doctor treating Michael was the same doctor who treated him after he awoke from his accident years earlier.
Jason takes an experimental drug which helps him remember Dr. Asher Thomas tried to kill him on A.J.'s orders. After Jason lost his memory again, Jason fell in love with Sam again and they move to Hawaii when Jason decides he wants nothing to do with his old mob life. Jason and Sam are forced to return to Port Charles when the Ruiz family vows revenge on Jason. In late November 2005, after weeks of debilitating pain, Sam convinced Jason to go on an experimental drug that Robin Scorpio founded that would help him regain his memory. The drug worked but this caused a brain aneurysm and they moved back to Hawaii where they planned to spend the last days of Jason's life. Although Jason initially refuses, Robin and Patrick Drake operate on him saving his life, when he comes to the decision that he wants to live in order to stay with Sam.
Jason and Sam later discover that Sam's mother is Alexis Davis. Although Sam and Jason wanted to have children, she was shot with a bullet meant for Jason, resulting in her inability to become pregnant again. Due to his guilt and under the influence of her new mother, Jason broke up with Sam in the hospital when she woke up from her coma. After months of hurt and rejection, Sam slept with her mother's husband, Ric Lansing, to cause her mother grief but Jason discovered them instead. Jason slept with Elizabeth Spencer, which resulted in a pregnancy. Jason and Sam admit their infidelity to one another and agree to work on their relationship when it is later discovered that Elizabeth is pregnant. Jason admitted to Sam that he has a hard time letting go of things and cited how he was unable to return to Carly and Robin in a romantic sense after their betrayals. But with Sam, for the first time in his life he was willing to try and get past it because he didn't want to risk losing her in that way.
Eventually a DNA test is completed and all believe the baby to be Elizabeth and her husband Lucky Spencer's child. After months of breakup, Jason and Sam reunite and attempt to try for their baby. Jason also had to come to terms with Sonny dating his sister, Emily. The relationship drove a wedge between Jason and Sonny, and Jason took over Sonny's business entirely without Sonny's consent. This resulted in a fist fight between the two that a teary-eyed Emily had to break up. Jason's estranged father Alan died in early 2007 during the Metro Court hostage crisis, just as they were beginning to rebuild their relationship. Jason took his death hard, and privately confided to Monica during the memorial service that he had flashes of good childhood memories of Alan and that he regretted all the years he pushed him away.
Elizabeth gives birth to a son, Jacob Martin Spencer, in May 2007. Jason had recently discovered that the baby was his son, but they agreed to let Lucky believe he was the father in order to protect their child from the mob. Jason lies to Sam about the baby's paternity pulling away from her emotionally, but when she discovers their lies she spirals out of control. When Sam watches and says nothing when she sees Jason and Elizabeth's son, Jake, being kidnapped. Jason and Sam's relationship ends which began a 2-year breakup, and Jason recovers his son with the help of Amelia Joffe. One year after their one night stand, Jason and Elizabeth admit their affair into love for real, as her marriage dissolves. Jason reveals Jake's paternity to Lucky at the Black and White Ball.
Lucky and Sam agree to keep the secret, and Elizabeth and Jason begin to meet secretly. They become engaged but on the same day of their engagement, Michael is shot, and Jason ends their engagement. A war with the rival Russian mob began to escalate in November 2008. Jason agrees when Lucky proposes sending Elizabeth, the boys, and Sam, to hide in a cabin in the woods. During a shootout with Russians who had followed the women to the cabin, Jake is kidnapped once again. Sam goes with Jason to search for Jake, where she rescues Jake and they return him safely to Elizabeth. Jason and Elizabeth once again vow to never see each other again for the safety of the boys.
Jason denies Sonny access to the organization when he wants it back. In order to regain his power, Sonny becomes head of the Zacchara organization by marrying Claudia Corinthos. Jason is later offered a blanket of immunity by Agent Rayner if he informs him on Sonny Corinthos and Anthony Zacchara's business but he refuses to give up Sonny. After Spinelli was set up by a geeky undercover agent named Winifred Leeds, he was arrested for his illegal activity. Jason is forced to agree to Rayner's deal to gain Spinelli's freedom. Jason asks Sonny to quit working with the Zaccharas, but Sonny refuses. Spinelli is freed from the FBI's hold when Sam, with the help of Winifred, destroys all the evidence against him.
Jason and Sonny reconcile, and Jason is more than happy to give Sonny back the business. In May 2009, his nephew Michael Corinthos wakes up from his year-long coma, but due to brain damage he is now an aggressive 17-year-old. Jason refuses to allow Michael's request to join his father's business and agrees with Carly that Michael should live at the Quartermaine Mansion for his own good. Jason resumes a friendship with Sam, who has partnered with Spinelli in her quest to start a private investigation firm.
Jason depends on Sam's skills to help him with an issue involving Dominic Pirelli, a new mob soldier who was trying to make his way into Sonny's organization. When Michael and Kristina run away because both teenagers each believed themselves to be the driver responsible for Claudia's car accident that resulted in the loss of her unborn baby, Jason and Sam take off to Mexico after them, recapturing some of their former closeness along the way. A resurfaced Jerry Jacks manages to capture Sam, luring Jason into a trap. During the ensuing shootout, Jason is pinned beneath a pile of rubble and Jerry taunts Jason with lies about Claudia's innocence before shooting him twice and leaving him for dead. Sam escapes and returns just in time to rescue Jason and nurse him back to health, and then they make love, and for the first time in 2 years, Jason and Sam finally have their romantic reunion, their brand new romantic era begins. On August 28, 2009, Jason and Sam find Michael and Kristina in Cancun, Mexico, and bring them back to Port Charles a few days later. Jason tells Sonny about his altercation with Jerry and about Jerry's claims of Claudia's innocence in Michael's shooting.
Despite their denials, Jason and Sam's renewed closeness is apparent to everyone, especially after they are caught kissing by Maxie and Spinelli. Jason is given a lecture from both Carly and Maxie on how he should treat Sam if he wishes to stay with her. Jason listens to Carly's advice and refuses to let Sam back out of going to the carnival with him. The carnival takes a chaotic turn when Jason's grandfather Edward Quartermaine has a drug-induced heart attack and passes out behind the wheel, plunging his car down the carnival midway. Jake is injured at the carnival, and Jason turns to Sam for comfort and reassurance multiple times during this ordeal. While at the hospital, Jason witnesses Nikolas and Liz kissing, and ends up at Sam's apartment where he reveals that he missed their closeness. After some initial reservations on Sam's part they end up making love again at his penthouse. Believing themselves to be alone, they are caught by surprise the next morning when they come downstairs in each other's arms only to find Spinelli and Maxie's wedding party planners in the living room.
In October 2009, Jason and Sam find evidence that Claudia orchestrated Michael's shooting over a year ago. Jason then goes to Sonny's office to tell him about what he's discovered and asks Sonny what he want's to do about it. Sonny it seems in a state of shock doesn't say much and leaves heading to Claudia's birthday party at the Metro Court Hotel. At the birthday party Sonny publicly rips Claudia to shreds about what she did to Michael and attempts to have his bodyguard's get rid of her. In defense, Claudia kidnaps Carly at gunpoint who goes in to labor with her baby. Michael who was supposed to be leaving town, comes across a nearby cabin where Claudia's stealing Carly's newborn daughter, so he grabs an axe handle and bludgeons her to death. Jason then finds them and after he sees what happened he takes the necessary steps to cover up the murder.
In November, Jason is tormented by an artist named Franco who is interested in causing Jason's downfall. In January 2010, Franco kidnaps Lulu and Sam and straps them both to bomb, placing them on the opposite side of Port Charles. Jason saves Sam while Dominic saves Lulu. Franco leaves town soon after. Jason and Lulu are named godparents to Carly's daughter, Josslyn Jacks, on January 29, 2010. On that same day, Dominic is revealed to a be an undercover cop named Dante Falconeri, who is also Sonny's son. Although Jason wishes Dante was dead, Sonny asks him not to kill him. When Sonny is arrested for Claudia's murder, Jason moves Michael over to Sonny's island to prevent Michael from confessing.
When Kristina is abused and hospitalized by her boyfriend Kiefer Bauer, Jason is the first to see through her lies to protect him and convinces Dante and Lucky to investigate further. Eventually, Kiefer's abusive nature, and thus the truth about Kristina's attacks, becomes public knowledge after he beats her a second time; however, Alexis accidentally hits Kiefer with her car and kills him while taking Kristina to the hospital that same night, causing his father, Warren Bauer, to become obsessed with getting revenge on Kristina and Alexis. In response, Jason is approached by Molly, who desperately begs him to "make Mr. Bauer disappear." Jason turns her down, explaining that he doesn't want to get children involved in the mob after what happened to Michael.
Sonny is put on trial for his alleged role in Claudia's death, and the prosecutor, Claire Walsh, does everything in her power to ensure that Sonny is convicted, going so far as to make Johnny Zacchara falsely testify that Sonny routinely physically abused Claudia and force Morgan Corinthos onto the stand. However, just as the jury is about to reach a verdict, Dante enters the courtroom and surrenders Michael as Claudia's true killer. Once Dante's allegations are proven, the judge unfairly sentences Michael to five years in Pentonville State Prison as a message to Sonny and Carly, leaving everyone present shocked and upset.
On May 20, in order to protect Michael, Jason makes a deal with Claire and is sent to Pentonville as well. Jason was regularly visited by Sam, who at one point posed as his ex-wife, Brenda Barrett, in order to get a conjugal visit. He is also visited by Alexis for advice on how to handle the increasingly rebellious Kristina, who is now in a relationship with Johnny (it is later revealed that Kristina was only pretending to date Johnny to spite Sonny). Dante, Claire, and Jax, guilt-ridden over their roles in Michael's incarceration, eventually convince the judge to release Michael on parole, while Jason remains in Pentonville.
On June 30, Franco returns to Port Charles with the intent to resume his feud with Jason; in response, Jason makes a deal with Dante and Claire and is released from Pentonville to draw Franco out of hiding. In July, Jason and Dante go to L.A. to find Franco. In late July/early August, they had thought that Franco had died (from his fall off the roof), but it was someone else. Franco revels that he had Carter beat and 'mess' up Michael. Franco also has a nurse named "J. Morgan" take Aiden Spencer, the newborn son of Elizabeth and Lucky Spencer, because he had the number 66 on his ID bracelet. Franco was obsessed with the number 66 and wanted his mom to have the "perfect" son. Aiden is found and returned to Elizabeth by Lucky. Franco eventually escapes, and Jason is sent back to prison only to be released a few weeks later after Sonny and Claire find a loophole in his plea bargain.
On September 16, 2010, Jason went to Rome, to serve as a bodyguard to help protect Brenda from the Balkan. This is the first time they have seen each other since she went back to Paris in early 2003. Jason and Brenda return to Port Charles in late September. Brenda moved into the Penthouse with him because it was the best way to protect her from the Balkan. Jason's relationship with Brenda is that of a love/hate or brother/sister relationship. Jason finds her irritating and a pain in the ass, and Brenda finds his unemotional facade aggravating. With Brenda living with Jason, he and Sam barely get to spend anytime together. He briefly asks Sam to move in but she says no saying that it is not right timing. Jason and Sam continue to work on protecting Brenda and finding out the identity of the Balkan. During this storyline Michael finally admits to Jason that he was raped by Carter in prison which hits Jason really hard.
In early 2011, Sam finds out that there is a fertility construction surgery and she thinks this might give her the possibility of having a baby. She and Jason discuss the possibility of her having the surgery. They soon agree that their lifestyle's are not the best for raising kids. At one point she even thinks she is pregnant but results prove that she is not. Jason and Sam discovered that Brenda's defense attorney, Theo Hoffman, was the Balkan, and immediately went out to stop him; in the process, Jason was caught in an ambush and barely escaped. After the reception, Brenda was seemingly killed in a car bomb. When the authorities managed to get through the wreckage, everybody was shocked to discover that Sam was in the limo, with no sign of Brenda. Fortunately, due to bomb-proofing, Sam survived the explosion with only a concussion and temporary hearing loss. Though it was believed that the Balkan was the one who planted the bomb, Jason received a call from the newly returned Franco, who hinted that he was the one who planted the bomb.
In the meantime, Jason interrogates Shawn Butler, a mercenary who had previously worked for Theo, for information. Shawn insists that he does not know where Theo and Brenda are and he wants Theo taken down just as badly as they do, but Jason does not believe him. Shawn says that he has access to records on Theo that may help them, but they are contained in a biometric lock that only he can bypass. After much persuasion, Jason agrees to let Shawn get the information, and also asks him to check the records to see if Theo has any connection with Franco. Later, Jason discovers from Michael that he had gone after an assassin hired by Theo to kill Shawn and apprehended him with Dante's help. Jason is anything but pleased that Michael risked breaking his parole and got "too close to the business," only for Michael to snap and shout that he wants to help and is sick of people not believing in him. Jason explains that he gave up a lot of choices when he went to work for Sonny, revealing that he is Jake Spencer's biological father, and tells Michael that he merely doesn't want him to make the same mistake.
Eventually, Jason, Sonny, and Dante manage to track down Brenda, finding her near-death after being injected with a neurotoxin. Sonny rushes her to the hospital while Jason and Dante attempt to stop Theo, who escapes. Jason and Dante quickly begin to butt heads over their differing opinions regarding apprehending Theo; Jason is perfectly willing to kill him for hurting Sam, while Dante is determined to arrest Theo despite Jason's insistence that Theo, being a lawyer, would easily find a way out of it. While Brenda is recovering in the hospital, Jason has Spinelli surf the Web to find out if Theo has any connections in Port Charles, discovering that he did indeed have one with a family aligned to the Corinthos organization. Jason immediately departs, vowing that anyone who hurts Sam needs to be dealt with.
In the ensuing confrontation, Theo's contact insists that he has no idea where the Balkan is now, and explains to Jason that he put Theo in contact with Johnny Zacchara. The contact declares that it was a mistake to help Theo and doesn't do business with people who attack women. Jason immediately confronts Johnny, who insists that he had no idea that Theo was targeting Brenda and had nothing to do with Sam's kidnapping. However, Johnny does admit that he lent some muscle to Theo and killed the man who was following Sam. Johnny even declares that he could have easily killed Jason too, and for that, Jason owes him a life debt.
On March 18, 2011, Jason's son, Jake runs out his mother's house, into the street and gets hit by a car. Jake is rushed to the hospital, and Patrick and Robin Drake operate on him to try and save his life, but there was just too much damage, and Jake dies on the operating table as Jason watches from the observation window. Jason later had to break the news to Lucky, who then went and broke the news of Jake's death to Elizabeth. Carly, who was also at the hospital because her daughter Josslyn had just been diagnosed with kidney cancer, found Jason at the hospital rooftop and told him of Josslyn's illness. She felt horrible for Jason's loss, but wanted him to consider donating Jake's kidneys to Josslyn in order to save her daughter's life. Jason approached Elizabeth about helping Carly, but Elizabeth was furious at first and didn't want to hear it. Later after some convincing from Lucky, Liz and Lucky made the decision together to give Jake's kidneys to Josslyn and donate the rest of his organs. Josslyn was taken into surgery and made a full recovery.
Jason continues to grieve over the loss of Jake while also dealing with Luke Spencer, who was revealed as the person who hit Jake with his car and was determined to have Jason kill him. Jason later discovers the extent of Carly and Jax's marital problems, and that Jax is trying to take Josslyn away from Carly. He begins to help Carly keep Josslyn when she gets into a custody battle with Jax and has Spinelli dig up dirt on Jax. During a trial recess, Jason, Sonny, and Carly realize that Jax bribed Grace Yang, the mediator, to falsely paint Carly as unfit. Sonny subsequently goes behind Carly's back and blackmails Grace into framing Jax in a hotel room for her attempted assault after drugging him and planting illegal narcotics in the room. As a result of this incident, the judge gave Carly full custody of Josslyn. The custody battle concluded and Jason re-focused on his life with Sam. He and Sam realized you can't protect a child by giving them away. Sam has a fertility reconstruction procedure, and the results are successful. Sam will be able to have children again. Jason also comes to realize that he never wants to live without Sam, and on July 21, 2011, Jason proposes to Sam, and she accepts.
Carly comes by when Jason and Sam are planning their wedding, asking for Jason's help to stop Jax from taking Josslyn. On their way to Carly's house, Jason and Carly get into an accident with Elizabeth and Lucky's wife, Siobhan. Jason is rushed to the hospital, and subsequently has to undergo surgery. Jason comes out of the surgery and begins to experience seizures. Patrick discovers a piece of non-organic material shifting in his frontal lobe. It turns out to be a piece of the dashboard from the original accident in 1995 caused by his brother A.J. that flew into his nose. Jason has to have another surgery to remove the inorganic matter and the surgery is a success.
While Jason is in recovery from the surgery, he and Sam continue to plan their wedding. One disaster comes after another, as all of Maxie's wedding plans turn into disasters. The wedding planning begins to overwhelm Sam, and Jason takes her on a bike ride to calm her nerves. The end up at a Chinese restaurant in the Asian Quarter and learn that the owner is also an ordained minister. On September 22, 2011, Sam and Jason get privately married in a garden on the restaurant's property. Earlier in the day, Edward had given Jason his grandmother Lila's ring to give to Sam, and Monica had given Sam her late husband Alan's ring to give to Jason. Jason and Sam exchanged these rings as they wed in a small and intimate ceremony. They go to the "wedding" the following day and tell their loved ones that they already got married but have a reception at the church's courtyard.
After the reception Jason and Sam leave for their honeymoon. They spend a few days in Hawaii before, Shawn and Carly interrupt with the news that Franco had returned. Jason has his men do a thorough investigation and they track Franco to Toronto. Believing that they were in the clear, Shawn and Carly returned home and Jason and Sam stayed in Hawaii to finish their honeymoon. On their last night Sam and Jason were both tricked into drinking an open beer not knowing it was drugged by Franco. Jason woke up trapped in a room with a TV showing Franco carrying an unconscious Sam into their bedroom. As he watches, Jason begs to be let out and threatens Franco. When Jason is finally freed he runs to a sleeping Sam. Because of the amnesia-like effect of the drug the only thing Sam can remember is that a man was in bed with her. Jason then tells her what he saw and they are both led to believe that Franco raped her.
They return to Port Charles and Jason begins losing his temper and searching for Franco. He is tormented by visions of what he saw on the TV and the guilt of not being able to protect his wife. He is powerless to take Sam's pain away which intensifies his anger. He has several outbursts including attacking the former mayor. Finding Franco and making him pay become an obsession to Jason. His anger causes everyone to become concerned. Jason finally locates Franco in an undisclosed studio and sets off to confront him. Franco taunts Jason upon his arrival, but Jason ends the confrontation quickly by shooting Franco twice in the chest -- killing him. He later returns home to tell Sam that the Franco ordeal was over and they could move on with their lives, however Sam cuts him off by telling him that she is pregnant. They discus their options and decide to have an early paternity test done to determine the baby's paternity. Jason tells Sam that he will support her no matter the outcome of the test. Meanwhile as he and Sam await the paternity test results, his headaches worsened. After running more tests, Robin told Jason that his outbursts are caused by a cerebral edema as a result of the surgery.
Jason and Sam later receive the results of the paternity test and Jason learns that he is the father of Sam's baby. He and Sam go away and spend a couple nights at their wedding night cabin. When they return home, they inform friends and family of their happy news. Jason later collapses in the PH and Sam insists that he see a doctor. At the hospital, Patrick runs more tests and has to break the news to Jason that his condition is inoperable. Determine to save him, Robin begins working on a drug protocol to cure Jason. Robin comes up with a medicine to save him, but tragically dies in a lab explosion. Patrick, grief-stricken and angry refuses to give Jason the medicine or even operate on him. But after Sam begs him for his help, he decides to do the surgery because it is what Robin would want. Patrick operates on Jason and administers the medication successfully.
After learning about Robin's death, Jason becomes angry with Sam for keeping the truth from him. They argue but Jason eventually forgives her and they reconcile when he learns that she was trying to protect him and acted out of love. After he is recovered from the surgery, he and Sam decide to figure out what the DVD that Franco left behind meant. Sam goes to the Ferncliff mental institution where she meets with Heather Webber who tells Sam that Franco is Jason's fraternal twin brother. Sam runs another DNA test and is devastated when it says Franco is the father. She tells Jason and he has a hard time accepting the news. Jason and Sam decide to separate for a little while to work on their marital issues. When Jason realizes that he can love and accept the baby as his own, he goes to the motel where Sam was staying to tell her, unaware that she had gone into labor and given birth to a baby boy. A torrential rainstorm prevented Sam from getting to the hospital and she was forced to give birth in the motel with the help of John McBain. Jason was jealous of Sam's growing friendship with John so he sent two guys to beat John up and convince him to go back home. This action prevented John from getting Sam and the baby to the hospital. Sam leaves the motel with the baby to look for help and after placing the baby somewhere safe, she passes out.
Jason finds Sam and the baby and is forced to tell her that her baby is dead. They are unaware however that Todd Manning and Heather switched Sam's son with the late newborn son of Téa Delgado. Sam says that she wanted to name the baby Jason Morgan, Jr. It was later revealed that Heather switched the paternity results and made it appear that Franco was the father of Sam's child when in reality, the baby is truly Jason's biological son, but this truth remains unknown to everyone except Heather and Todd. Jason then tries to comfort Sam over her loss and make things right between them again. But when she finds out that he had John beat up, she refuses to forgive him, and pushes him away. Jason still tries to reconcile with her, coming to the baby's memorial and asking Sam to come home with him. She still refuses. Jason tries to fix his marriage, but when he sees Sam kissing John on July 4th, he decides he and Sam cannot repair their relationship. He runs into Elizabeth after seeing Sam and John, and impulsively kisses her. But he later regrets it, telling Elizabeth he was angry.
The next day, Jason takes off his wedding ring. However, when Elizabeth's brother, Steve, finds out, he tells Jason to stay away from Elizabeth, which Sam overhears. When she confronts him about kissing Elizabeth, Jason confronts her about kissing John. They both make it clear to each other that they believe their marriage is over, as Sam tells Jason that Elizabeth is welcome to him. Jason also tells Elizabeth that their marriage was done the night Sam's baby "died." Jason is talking to Carly, who is trying to convince Jason to go back to Sam, when he hears Sam is working for Todd Manning. Jason wonders why, when Sam already has a job, when he realizes she's investigating Todd. He goes to see Sam, and asks her if she's investigating Todd. When Sam asks why he cares, Jason says because she is his wife, and he's worried she could get hurt because Todd is dangerous. Sam tells him she is investigating Todd because he hired Heather Webber under suspicious circumstances. When she tells Jason she's trying to break into Todd's safe, he offers to stand guard while she does that, and Sam accepts. Todd comes back before she can get in, but she & Jason are cordial to each other afterwards, showing kindness to each other for the first time since the "death" of Sam's baby.
Jason and Sam decide to get a divorce in August of 2012. They share a heartbreaking goodbye and kiss. Their plan to divorce gets put on hold, however, when Alexis and Josslyn are kidnapped and end up in the hospital with a mystery illness. Jason teams up with John to find out what the mystery illness is. When Jason & John go to Wyndemere, the last place Alexis and Josslyn were, they find Dr. Ewen Keenan there. Jason is suspicious and thinks he is involved, but doesn't have anything to prove it. Eventually, it's revealed that the perpetrator is Jerry Jacks, who has poisoned the Port Charles water supply, and injected Josslyn and Alexis with the antidote for the poison. Jerry demands a large sum of money in return for the antidote.
Jason believes Ewen is working with Jerry, but Spinelli and Elizabeth, who is dating Ewen, do not believe him. However, his suspicions prove to be correct, and Ewen kidnaps Elizabeth. Jason has Spinelli track them down, but when he gets there, Ewen is holding Elizabeth at gunpoint. He shoots Jason in the leg so he can escape, but Elizabeth manages to escape and Jason shoots and kills Ewen. Elizabeth brings Jason to the hospital to treat his leg. While they are there, Sam and John come in after she fainted to make sure she hasn't been infected with the poison. When they both are left alone, Sam shares with Jason a fantasy she had where her son survived and what their life would be like. Unable to bear Sam blaming herself for her son's death, Jason asks Patrick to clarify what happened to Sam's baby for them. Patrick brings the autopsy report, and tells Jason & Sam that the baby had hemophilia and died of respiratory failure. When Jason asks if he could have been saved if he had made it to the hospital, Patrick says the baby couldn't have survived because his lungs weren't developed. Jason & Sam realize that it wasn't their fault the baby didn't make it.
Jason takes a look at the autopsy, and realizes that something doesn't add up. The baby's blood type is different from both Sam and Franco's. Elizabeth tells Jason it's probably just a hospital error. Jason later brings it up to Spinelli, who tries to find a way to clarify the information. Spinelli finds out Sam donated the baby's tissue to the hospital, and it's still stored there, which means they can run a test to see if the blood type was recorded correctly. Jason goes home on his birthday, and finds Elizabeth there decorating the penthouse for the occasion. Jason is not in the mood to celebrate, and Elizabeth asks if he's still divorcing Sam, which Jason confirms. She ends up kissing him, but Jason stops her, saying they don't have a future, but Elizabeth isn't convinced. Before they can discuss it any further, Spinelli comes back with the results. He tells Jason the baby's blood type wasn't a mistake, and Jason realizes the baby that died wasn't Sam's. When Jason retraces what happened to Sam and her baby the night of the storm, Spinelli realizes Heather was involved in the switch. Jason decides to go to Ferncliff to talk to Heather, but Spinelli gets a phone call from Steve, Heather's son, and informs Jason that Heather escaped from Ferncliff.
Jason talks to Steve about where Heather could be, and when Steve asks why, Jason tells him he thinks Heather took Sam's baby. Steve doesn't believe it, but when Jason lays out the facts, Steve is shocked at what his mother did. When Jason tells him he's not sure where the other baby came from, Steve reveals that he treated Téa Delgado and her newborn son the night of the storm. He gets Téa's medical file, and the baby is revealed to have the same blood type as Sam, as well as beta-thalassemia, a blood condition that runs in Sam's family. Jason realizes Sam's baby is alive, and living with Téa.
Jason calls John and shares his suspicions. John reveals that Téa was with Todd the night of the storm, and starts to believe he was involved in the switch, as well. To clarify his suspicions, Jason asks John to get a DNA sample to confirm everything. After John leaves, Jason lets Elizabeth know what he found out. When John comes with the DNA sample, Jason asks Elizabeth to run it against Sam's. When he gets the results back, though, the results are negative, and Jason is disappointed. Spinelli, though, encourages him to keep digging. However, the night of Sonny's wedding, Elizabeth comes over to Jason's house and reveals that she switched the DNA tests. When Jason asks if she has the real results, she hands them over, which reveal that Téa's son is actually Sam's baby. Jason asks why Elizabeth would do that, and Elizabeth says it was because of what Sam did to Jake, but also because she wanted to be with Jason, and was trying to separate him and Sam. She apologizes for what she's done, and visibly upset Jason thanks her for finally being honest and she leaves.
Jason calls John over and shows him the real results. John goes to tell Téa the truth, and Jason leaves to tell Sam. When he goes there, he finds out Elizabeth came over and admitted to Sam she was trying to split them up. Before Jason can say anything more, Kristina comes in with her husband, Trey Mitchell, and tells Jason & Sam she was almost killed by Joe Scully, Jr., Trey's father and Sonny's nemesis. Dante comes over to get their statements, and after the three of them leave, Jason gets a call from John that the baby has been kidnapped by Heather. Jason again goes to Steve and reveals that Sam's baby was switched with Téa's, and Heather has kidnapped Sam's son. He asks Steve to keep an eye out for his mother. Steve asks if Sam knows, and Jason reveals he didn't tell her because she would worry. Steve tells Jason she has a right to know, and asks Jason if Sam would really want to be protected like this. Jason realizes he's right, and goes over to Sam's house and reveals her baby is alive. When Sam is about to leave, Jason reveals that Heather has kidnapped the baby while she was posing as a nanny. Meanwhile, John comes over to give them an update on the investigation. While he's there, Spinelli calls Jason and tells him Steve came in to the hospital after being attacked by Heather.
Jason and Sam go to the hospital, and find out from Steve that Heather is looking for a second chance at motherhood and has taken the baby to raise as her own. Sam is worried, and Jason promises her they'll get her son back. When Sam comments on how she doesn't remember what her son looks like, Jason goes to Dante and gets copies of pictures that the PCPD has of the baby. He shows them to Sam, and she's overjoyed her son is strong and healthy, and Téa has taken care of him well. Jason promises her she'll hold her son again. Dante leaves when John and Commissioner Anna Devane get a lead on Heather. While they're waiting, Jason and Sam hear a noise. They find Olivia hurt in the stairwell, and she tells them Heather pushed her, and is in the hospital with the baby. When Jason asks where she is, Olivia says she went to the roof, and Jason and Sam run to the roof, cornering Heather and the baby.
Both Jason and Sam plead with Heather to give them the baby. Heather says Jason will never love the baby because he's Franco's son, but Jason says that it's his son, and he wants him back. Sam then asks for the baby, and in exchange, she'll help Heather repair her relationship with her son. However, when Anna calls out to Heather, and tells her the police have surrounded the building, Heather realizes she's trapped. She goes to the ledge, and says if she can't have the baby, no one can. She topples off the ledge, and Jason runs towards her, trying to get the baby. Heather hits the ground below, but Jason manages to grab the baby out of her arms, and saves his life. Afterwards, he gives the baby to Sam, happy that Sam is finally able to hold her son again.
Jason and Sam go back into the hospital with John to get the baby checked out. Before they can, though, Téa runs in with Todd and tries to take "her son" back. John has Jason & Sam taken away so he can explain to Téa the truth. Jason & Sam have her son checked out, but he is determined to be in perfect health. Afterwards, Sam tells Jason how she's not sure what to do next, but Jason tells her she'll figure it out as she gets to know her son. Téa later comes by the room, and tells them she knows the baby isn't hers. She asks to say goodbye, and though Jason is hesitant, Sam lets her hold the baby. When Téa gives the baby back, Sam thanks Téa for taking good care of him. Téa leaves, and Sam tells Jason that in her fantasy, they named her son Daniel Edward, which is what she names her son.
Jason later tells Sonny that he's hoping Sam and Danny will come home with him, because he wants to be a father to her son and take care of both of them. Sonny tells him to fight for his family. Later, Jason brings Monica by to introduce him to Daniel. When Monica asks Jason & Sam what the baby's last name is (McCall or Morgan), both of them become awkward and admit they haven't figured it out. Just then, Alexis, Molly, and Kristina come in, and start fawning over Daniel. Meanwhile, Jason steps out with Monica, who tells Jason that he and Sam should repair their marriage now that she has her son back. Jason tells her that it's up to Sam if they get back together. Jason comes in and hears Alexis telling Sam that they have set up all the baby equipment at her house, and it will be ready when Sam and Danny come home.
After they leave, Jason asks Sam to bring Danny home with him. He tells her that he's sorry for all the pain he has caused her, and he wants to prove it to her by loving both her and her son as a family. When Sam reminds him of how he expressed doubt about loving the baby, he says that went away and he loves Danny more than he ever thought possible and he wants to be his father. Sam leaves to get Danny's bottle, and Carly comes by, having just heard the news. She's thrilled for Jason, and hopes he's getting back together with Sam. Jason tells her that's up to Sam. When Sam comes back, Carly encourages her to get back with Jason. After she leaves, Jason tells Sam that she makes the final decision. Sam decides they've waited long enough, and tells Jason she and Danny are coming home with him, and the two of them reunite.
After Sam, Jason and Danny go home, they take a family picture, and then Jason leaves when Bernie frantically summons him to Pier 52. When Jason arrives at the pier, he sees Joe Scully, Jr. hovering over Bernie, whom he has just shot. Jason pulls his gun on Joe and commands him to surrender. Joe then moves to shoot Jason, but Jason fatally shoots Joe first. Jason then rushes over to Bernie, who says he needs to tell him "about the money;" but before Bernie can finish, Cesar Faison, disguised as Duke Lavery, appears from behind and shoots Jason. Faison then kicks Jason's bleeding and dying body into the harbor. Sonny and some divers go into the harbor, but are unable to recover Jason's body, and he is presumed dead.
Jason's disappearance hits the town hard, especially Sam, who refuses to believe Jason is dead, despite everyone else saying there's no chance of him coming back. A week after Jason disappears, Sam finally finds out Jason is Danny's biological father. She sees Jason walking through the door, only to be disappointed later when she realizes he was never there and she imagined him. When Faison is captured and arrested by John, he confesses to also shooting Jason and throwing him into the harbor. John comes back and tells Sam about this and Sam finally begins to accept that Jason is gone.
In 2014, Victor Cassadine showed up at Patrick and Robin's house to see Robin (who was alive all this time and had recently returned to her family) on business pertaining to the WSB. After Victor revealed that he's the new director of the WSB, he revealed to Robin that he wanted her help in reviving Helena and Stavros Cassadine since they are technically alive but in a cryogenic stasis. Robin was reluctant, so Victor revealed that Jason is alive and also in a cryogenic stasis. Victor claimed that if she cooperated in helping him save Helena and Stavros, she can save Jason too. Although Robin was still reluctant, she eventually agreed to help in order to save Jason too.
On March 4, Victor took Robin to Crichton-Clark where he showed her that Jason was in fact alive in a cryogenic stasis. However, unbeknownst to Robin, Jason had actually been switched with his identical twin brother, Andrew Cain. On August 12, Robin successfully revived Drew, who believed himself to be Jason, but Victor double-crossed her and had his men lock her up since he planned to use "Jason" for his own purposes.
On September 12, "Jason" is seen struggling to gets free of his restraints and eventually he breaks free and knocks out William Eichner. Then "Jason" finds Robin chained up and uses a gun to shoot the chain and free her. They then embraced and "Jason" reveals that he can't talk.
They prepare to leave the clinic, but they are stopped by a newly revived Helena. Helena says she has big plans for "Jason" and Robin, and she tries to take them, but "Jason" kills Helena's goons and they escape the clinic just before it blows up. "Jason" and Robin steal a car and get on the road back to Port Charles. Robin fills "Jason" in on some things, including telling "Jason" that Danny is his biological son. When they near Port Charles, Robin decides it would be too dangerous to their families to go straight home, because Helena could still be on their tail. Instead, Robin heads to The Metro Court to find her mother and fill her in, and "Jason" goes to Sonny Corinthos' house. "Jason" makes it to Sonny's front door but is kidnapped by Helena's goons. He is then seen in a car with them but manages to jump out of the moving vehicle.
"Jason" finds the road but is then run over with a car driven by Ava Jerome. Ava got out of the car she wanted to call 911 but if she did Sonny would find her she calls Jordan Ashford. Jordan tells Ava that she will take the blame since Ava was driving her car during the accident and let Ava get away. "Jason" is rushed to the hospital, Elizabeth Webber is one of the nurse working on him but she doesn't recognize him because of injures. "Jason" flat lines, but they get him back and he goes into surgery. "Jason" was in surgery for over 36 hours and had to have several reconstructive surgeries, including facial reconstruction to repair all the damage. On the same day that "Jason" (Billy Miller) got out of surgery, Sam was at the hospital taking Danny for a check-up. As Sam and Danny are leaving the check-up, Danny wanders into "Jason's" room and grabs his "father's" hand.
Sam chases after Danny and finds him in the room with "Jason". She tries to get Danny to let go of the "stranger's" hand, but he refuses. Elizabeth arrives a little while later and gets Danny to let go of "Jason's" hand by offering him candy. Sam and Liz talk about the "John Doe" patient and his accident. Sam spends some time holding "Jason's" hand and talking to him. She tells him that she doesn't know what it is about him, but she wants to see him get better. Right after Sam asks him to get better, "Jason's" vitals spike momentarily. Liz says Sam can stay with the patient while she goes to get his doctor, because Sam talking to him was doing him good. But Sam was unable to stay, because she had to go to Amsterdam for a case she's working on.
Liz leaves to get the doctor and Sam and Danny say goodbye to "John Doe," unaware that it was "Jason" they were talking to the entire time. When "Jason" wakes up, he has trouble remembering what happened to him. He remembered the accident but cannot remember his own name. He has memory flashes of Liz and "their" son, Jake, which leads him to believe that his name is Jake. On October 13, "Jason's" bandages are removed. During this time, he and Elizabeth bond and he also has an encounter with "his" wife and son. After being kicked out of the hospital, "Jason" moves in with Elizabeth. He also spends Thanksgiving with Sam and Danny.
In December, Helena summons "Jason" to Pier 55 and reveals that he was conditioned to take her orders. After telling "Jake" that he's actually Jason Morgan, "Jason" wants to find Sam but she refuses to let him. She orders him to forget who he is, to kidnap Sam and help Cesar Faison escape. Under Helena's control, "Jason" then goes to the police station wearing a mask and a black suit. He abducts Sam at gunpoint, but is stopped by police, who command him to let Sam go. He refuses unless he is given the keys to the Pentonville van so Faison can escape. "Jason" shoots Det. Nathan West and the police hand him over the keys. Jason knocks Sam out and evades the police in the Pentonville van. Later, Helena helps Faison flee the country with his daughter. Weeks later, Sam suspects "Jason" as the gunman, but he denies it and suddenly forgets what he did to Sam.
On Christmas Eve, "Jason" almost kisses Liz under the mistletoe, but Ric Lansing (Liz's ex-husband) interrupts them. On New Years Eve, after talking with Ric, "Jason" decides to move out of Elizabeth's house so he can start to find out who he is and also to find a better job. After he leaves Elizabeth's house, he goes to the Metro Court Hotel to see if Carly Corinthos can give him any job so he can pay rent. Carly asks why he needs to pay rent and Jason tells her that he moved out of Elizabeth's house because he might have family out there somewhere and also because of Ric. Carly tells "Jason" that Ric isn't a good person and she tells him she doesn't like Ric because of things he did to her in the past. "Jason" says that he doesn't like him either.
Then Ric and Elizabeth show up because of the New Years Eve party and Elizabeth was shocked to see him there. Carly tells them that "Jason" works at the hotel as a bartender. When Carly gave him the drinks to pass around, he runs into Sam and Patrick. Sam asks if he works here and he tells her that Carly hired him. He say's he will miss her accusing him holding her hostage at gunpoint. At midnight, "Jason" watches everyone kissing and feels sad as he looks at Ric and Elizabeth kissing. Carly comes over and kisses him to comfort him.
In January, Carly gives him a room at the Metro Court. The next morning Carly comes to "Jason's" room and they end up having breakfast together. Later on, while "Jason" is talking to Carly, she reads the newspaper about the gunmen that grabbed Sam. Carly sees that "Jason" upset and "Jason" finally tells Carly that the reason Sam doesn't like him is because she thinks he's the gunman. "Jason" tells her that he had a flashback of him grabbing Sam. He also tells her that around the same time the gunmen was grabbing Sam, he was out looking for a job. Carly says maybe Sam's getting into his head. Carly tells Jason to go see Dr. Kevin Collins.
Later on, Carly takes "Jason" to see Kevin and they ran into Sam. Sam and Carly talk while "Jason" goes to the office to see Kevin. When he gets there Helena is sitting in Kevin's chair and she tells him to sit down. "Jason" tells Helena the Sam suspects him of being the gunman. Helena tells Jason that it is true he did grab Sam. "Jason" says that he's leaving, but Helena tells him not too so he doesn't and can't. "Jason" asks why she's doing this to him why not have stationed somewhere until his next mission. She tells him she does have another mission for him. Later on, "Jason" comes out of the office and tells Sam and Carly that Kevin says the flashbacks were nothing and that they were just planted there. Then, there is a flashback about Helena ordering "Jason" to kill his own wife.
Later on, "Jason" is going through a bag with a gun in it, when Carly knocks on the door so he quickly hides it. He opens the door and Carly hugs him. She is upset because Michael still hasn't forgiven her. "Jason" and Carly talk and he offers to talk to Michael for her but she says that it's not the best idea because Michael actually likes "Jason". Later on, "Jason" is seen on the pier having a flashback of Helena ordering him to kill Sam. Elizabeth comes by and she invites him to dinner since Ric and Molly were out of town. "Jason" tells her that it isn't good idea because he's afraid that he won't be able to stop himself from wanting more.
A couple of days later, "Jason" goes to Sam's penthouse and breaks in after Sam and Patrick go upstairs. He sees pictures of Sam and himself with his old face and he starts to hear Sam's voice in his head. Then Robin appears and Jason stands up to shoot her but she tells him that she's not really there. Robin asks him why he's doing this. He tells her Helena told him too and she asks him why he's taking orders from Helena. Just then the phone rings and it was Helena calling to see if the job was done and he says no. "Jason" tells her that Sam has company so she tells him kill both of them. After the call, Robin disappears, so "Jason" goes upstairs to kill Sam and Patrick. When he opens the door and sees them in bed, he starts to have flashbacks of "him" and Sam on the night he got shot, them putting their wedding rings back on, and fooling around in bed. Sam and Patrick head for the shower while "Jason" enters the room and has more flashbacks of Sam giving him the phoenix before he left. He hears Sam and Patrick coming out of the shower so he takes the phoenix and leaves. "Jason" goes to the docks and has more memories be he passes out.
The next day paramedics find him and take him to the hospital. Lucas and Elizabeth treat him for hypothermia and a laceration on his forehead. Elizabeth calls Carly, who arrives soon after demanding to see "Jason". Carly talks to "Jason" and then she looks in the bag that was found with him and finds a gun. She asks him if he has ever seen it before and he says no. She then pulls out a ski mask. "Jason" doesn't know where he got any of those things. He is starting to wonder if he took Sam hostage. Carly tells Jason that they are going to see Kevin again. Patrick and Elizabeth come back and Carly leaves with the bag because "Jason" begged her not to tell anyone. Later on, Carly and "Jason" are seen in Kevin'a office talking about his memories. Carly also finds a phone in the bag. "Jason" tells her that he has never seen or used it before. Carly checks the phone to see if any calls or texts were on the phone and there are but they come up as unknown calls. "Jason" is eager to get answers, so Carly goes to find Kevin.
"Jason" gets a call from Helena and she tells him to meet her. "Jason" leaves and goes to the graveyard. Helena asked him why Sam and Patrick are not dead and he tells her a woman stopped him. Helena figures out that Robin was the one that stopped him in his head. So Jason asks why she's hurting people and what Sam means to him. Helena tells him to forget about killing Sam, she has another mission for him. Later on, it is revealed in a flashback that Helena ordered "Jason" to put a bomb on The Haunted Star. "Jason" is later seen on the docks when a delivery guy comes along, and he attacks the guy, drags him away and takes his place. "Jason" walks onto the Haunted Star and introduces himself to Lulu, who tells him where to put the drinks.
Meanwhile at the police station after Kevin revealed to Carly that he never had a meeting with "Jason", Carly figures out that "Jason" lied but that something is wrong. She asks Nathan if Dante was there, he said no that he was called on another police matter. Carly tells Nathan she thinks that "Jason" was the one that broke Faison out of prison and she shows him the evidence. Nathan finds the gun and has it tested against the bullet the doctors pulled out of him and the gun came back as a match. Meanwhile back on the Haunted Star, "Jason" plants the bomb behind the bar. Helena calls "Jason" and he tells her that the job is done. Maxie calls Nathan to see if he's coming he says yes he just got held up. Maxie tells him to take his time because Jason is there.
Later on, Nathan comes to the Haunted Star and arrests "Jason". He is then taken into police custody where Sam wants to question him about breaking into her apartment. Afterwards, "Jason" suddenly remembers everything Helena forced him to do and is horrified by his actions, so Sam softens towards "Jason" and wants to help him. "Jason" tells her that Helena ordered him to do all those things, including planting a bomb in The Haunted Star. Sam then calls Lucas and the bomb is safety taken of the boat. After remembering, Sam continues to ask him questions. Before he can answer, he is attacked by Patrick Drake and then he pins Patrick to a table.
The next day, Elizabeth goes to see "Jason" in jail and is shocked to hear all the things he has done plus he lied to her. "Jason" said he was sorry but she wanted explanation for everything. He told that he doesn't remember all the things he did and he says he thinks Helena has been controlling him. After hearing him out, she believed it because Helena did the same thing to Lucky. "Jason" was relieved that she trusted him but he asked how they were going to prove it. Elizabeth says there's one person that Helena could trust and that was Nikolas. After talking to Nikolas he agreed to help her out. Later on, Helena agreed to Nikolas term's. Patrick examined "Jason's" head and found a chip planted in his brain. Elizabeth went to tell the good news to "Jason" and they went to the hospital. When they got there Patrick told him that after looking over the scans of his brain he said he couldn't do the surgery because he might kill him if something goes wrong. After talking with Elizabeth, he decides to go through with the operation.
Before being wheeled in for surgery, Sam wanted to say something to him. "Jason" told her he was glad she was there for him. She touched his hand he had a flashback of the night he got shot putting his wedding ring on his finger, about how there was only one ring and also the night he broke into the penthouse. But before he could say anything else, he had to go in to the operating room. Just before the anesthesia kicked in, he remembered Helena telling him that was Jason Morgan. Before he was able to tell Elizabeth, he passed out from the anesthetic. After the successful surgery, "Jason" wakes up and Elizabeth asks if he remembers what he was going to tell her before he passed out and says no. Just before Elizabeth was going to tell how she has feelings for him, the Police Commissioner Kyle Sloane comes in and Elizabeth went to go find Dr. Obrecht.
Sloane tells "Jason" that all the charges have been dropped, but that he has go to undercover in the Jerome organization and "Jason" then refuses. Sloane tells him it’s either go undercover or go to prison. "Jason" says he has to think about it. Then Carly comes to see him and says she saw what was going on. Finally he tells her that Sloane wants him to go undercover in the Jerome organization. Carly says no and that she's going find him the best lawyer. But he says he's going to go undercover and Carly accepts that this is what he has to do. When being released from the hospital, Spinelli sees "Jake" and mistakes him for Jason from behind and runs up to him and hugs him but realized he isn't him.
Later on, "Jason" wanted to speak to Sam about asking Julian for a job, something on the legit side. Sam agrees to ask her father. After leaving the hospital "Jason" would stay at Carly's house just until he get's his own money. Sam called "Jason" to tell him that Julian would give him a job. Then Carly left and the doorbell rang and it was Sonny. They had a heated conversation, Sonny was even more mad when Jason told him he was going to go work for Julian. Carly comes in to tries to stop them and then "Jason" leaves to go see Julian. Carlos tells Julian he doesn't trust "Jason" because of what "Jason" did to him. Julian tells Carlos he was right that "Jason" might be working for Sonny. "Jason" tells them he wouldn't even lift a finger for Sonny and then "Jason" gets the job. "Jason" goes to the Metro Court to see Carly to tell her he was sorry for what happened between him and Sonny and Carly tells him not to worry about it. "Jason" says maybe they shouldn't be friends but Carly says no, they are still going to be friends. She also tells him that Ric and Elizabeth just broke up and that he should go see Elizabeth. "Jason" goes to see Elizabeth and tells her how he feels about her and Elizabeth does the same and then they kiss.
As they are about to go upstairs, the doorbell rings and Elizabeth answers it to a woman named Hayden Barnes, who claims to be "Jason's" wife. Both Elizabeth and Jason are shocked to hear this. Hayden says Jake's real named is Jacob Barnes and that they went camping but had a huge fight and he walk out on her. Elizabeth asks Hayden for proof. Hayden says is was back in her hotel room at the Metro Court. After leaving, she makes a phone call telling the person that they fell for it and she tells the person she will meet them back at the hotel. At the hotel the person revealed was Ric, who hired Hayden to pretend to be "Jason's" wife so that he and Elizabeth could get back together. When Carly finds out she doesn't believe the story and tells Hayden she will find out the truth. After Elizabeth sees medical records that Hayden provides, she sees the same spot that Patrick recently performed surgery on is the same spot that "Jason" had his previous head injury. Elizabeth starts to believe the story and leaves. Outside Elizabeth tells "Jason" goodbye and they kiss.
In April, "Jason" drops Sam's car off at Patrick's house and while he's there he recognizes Robin's picture, from the hallucination he had on the night he was suppose to kill Sam and Patrick. He tells Patrick about seeing her and Patrick tells him that Robin left months before he showed up. Sam says maybe he's he seen pictures of her at Elizabeth's house because the two of them are friends. As "Jason" leaves he throws Sam the keys to her car but she misses and the end up under the coach. "Jason" goes to grab the keys and he also finds a wedding ring. He gives it to Patrick but Patrick says that's not he's ring. He reads the inscription it says Alan Quartermaine. Sam realized its "Jason's" ring and wonder how the right got there. Emma comes in tells them that Spencer tried to give her the ring. Then Sam wonders how Spencer got the ring so she says she's going to see Nikolas but just then there is a knock at the door and it just so happens to be Nikolas. Nikolas tells them that Helena gave it to him before she left Port Charles. Nikolas also says that the reason why he didn't tell Sam was because that was the same day of Spencer's birthday party that ended up catching on fire. But Nikolas really knows that Jake is "Jason".
In May, at the Nurse Ball, the truth about Ric hiring Hayden to pretend to be "Jason's" wife, comes out thanks to Carly. After the truth comes out, Elizabeth ends things with Ric for good. Then she tells Nikolas that she can finally be with "Jason" but Nikolas tells her that Jake is "Jason". Elizabeth is furious and has every intention of telling the truth but doesn't and decides to keep "Jason" and everyone else in the dark so she can finally be happy with Jason and Nikolas agrees to keep their secret. After the Ball, Jason and Elizabeth go back to her house and talk. They decide to be together and they make love. A couple weeks later, Commissioner Sloane decides to drop all the charges against "Jason".
In June, "Jason" is looking for a job and Michael hires him as security for ELQ and to find out who is giving information to the Cassadine's so they can take over ELQ. They eventually find out that Michael's secretary Rosalie is working for Nikolas. But they find too late as Nikolas has enough votes to take over ELQ. In July, "Jason" and Sam work together to help get ELQ back in Michael's control. Also "Jason" and Elizabeth's son Jake is revealed to be alive. He was kidnapped by Helena and was living on Cassadine Island for 4 years. It was also revealed that Jake's kidney where never giving to Josslyn. "Jason" is also able to convince Elizabeth to let Jake and Danny meet.
In August, "Jason" proposes to Elizabeth and after some hesitation she says yes. "Jason" goes to Carly about his engagement to Elizabeth and he also calls her his best friend. Afterwards, "Jason" leaves and arrives back at Elizabeth's right before Sam and Danny leave and he sees both of "his" sons and their mothers in the same room for the first time. After Sam and Danny leave, "Jason" proposes to Elizabeth again with a ring and she of course says yes. A few days later, Sam calls "Jason" with a break in their case against Nikolas--Kyle Sloane, but the break is short lived when in the end Sloane refuses to help. "Jason" and Sam head the docks and talk about what happened when a gunshot rings out and "Jason" instinctively protects Sam. He tells her to stay down and stay put while he goes to the warehouse.
He arrives outside the door and sees three men with guns standing over Sonny, who was shot, and TJ tied to a chair. One of men said he couldn't have any witnesses (meaning killing TJ) so "Jason comes" in attacks one of the gunman and breaks his neck and grabs the gun and shoots and kills the other two gunman. Sam comes in sees "Jason" with a gun and three men dead and she's kind of in shock but she calls an ambulance for Sonny and unties TJ while "Jason" tries to get Sonny to stay awake. Sonny hallucinates about Jason telling him "I knew you would come you always do." Before passing out, Sonny tells "Jason" to tell Carly that he loves her. So "Jason" goes to Sonny's house to tell her that Sonny been shot and is in the hospital.
In November, after finding out "his" true identity, he decides to stay with Elizabeth but kisses Sam. Days later, he wanted to search for answers so he went to Cassadine Island to see Helena hoping she tell him something. Unbeknownst to him, Sam and Elizabeth, thanks to Spinelli, followed him. Helena played mind games with them, she even cursed Sam because, she said something to Helena which she didn't take well, but before she could tell "Jason" the secret she fell unconscious and Elizabeth tries to revive her but it was too late, Helena died. "Jason" accuses Nikolas of killing Helena and he attacks him again but, Elizabeth got him to calm down and they left. "Jason", Elizabeth and Jake spend Thanksgiving with the Quartermaine's.
In December, after Sam confronts Elizabeth about knowing who he "really" was before he did, a very angry "Jason" confronts Elizabeth, who continues to deny all of his accusations and dodge all of his questions. However, Elizabeth finally cracks and admits that she knew "his" identity for months, she begged him to forgive her. She said didn't want to lose him again and also for love. But "Jason" couldn't and leaves.
"Jason" is called away from spending NYE with Sam at the Floating Rib because Jake claims to have seen a man outside of his window on New Year's Eve. After dealing with the alleged stalker situation, Jason goes to the penthouse to find Sam and explain to her why he had to cut their time short on NYE. He also confides in Sam about another memory he had of her and the star necklace. Sam explains the memory to him and they grow closer. Later on, "Jason" asks her out and they go to lunch together at Kelly's.
With "Jason" still facing legal troubles from his fight with Nikolas, Sam sets out to prove that he's innocent. She managed to track down a couple who were staying at The Metro Court that night and witnessed the altercation between "Jaso"n and Nikolas. They were initially hesitant but Sam convinced them to agree to testify to the fact that Nikolas was the aggressor in the fight, thus exonerating Jason of the attempted murder charges. The couple later ran into "Jason" and Jake in the restaurant at the hotel and told "Jason" that they would testify to what they saw to clear him and he was a lucky man to have Sam in his life.
Excited about the good news, Sam went to "Jason's" hotel room to share it with him. Elizabeth answered the door and upon seeing Sam, tried to make it seem like her presence there was something that it was not. "Jason" and Jake soon arrive back to the hotel room and "Jason" makes it clear that Elizabeth and Jake are staying there because someone is stalking their home. He also tells Sam that he is now staying in a separate room down the hall if she needs to find him for any reason. "Jason" goes on to thank Sam for helping to clear him and then asks for her help in investigating the alleged stalker.
Jake starts to pick up on his mother's hatred of Sam and blames her for "his" parents' break up. He also starts to act out more and it becomes clear that he lied about the stalker and is the one behind the strange incidents at the Webber home. Elizabeth is angry and opposed to Sam helping with the investigation. Sam thinks Elizabeth doesn't want her help because she already knows who's behind the break-ins and is using the situation to manipulate "Jason". Before it can get too far, "Jason" stops the confrontation and insists that Sam help because the sooner they figure out what's really going on the better it will be for everyone.
On Jason's "birthday" aka the day he woke up from his accident as Jason Morgan, Carly insists on throwing "Jason" a birthday party. She calls Sam and orders a cake. Sam is hesitant about the party because she doesn't want to put any pressure on "Jason" about his past, however Carly insists anyways. When "Jason" arrives at the Metro Court he isn't in a partying mood. Carly is upset but gets it and backs off. Sensing that something is bothering him, Sam heads out to the terrace to check on "Jason" and bring him some cake. While out on the terrace, Sam and "Jason" are caught in the rain and the rain triggers another memory for "Jason".
"Jason" remembered dancing with and kissing Sam in the rain on the penthouse rooftop. This memory was different from all of the others because he remembered the feelings he had for her, which made the memory all the more real. "Jason" and Sam make their way back inside and he shares the memory with her. He also tells Sam that he remembers what he felt for her in that moment. He asks for more details, so Sam takes him to the penthouse rooftop and tells him about that night. "Jason" is motivated after their talk to pursue his memories further and tells Sam that he wants to recover his memories with her help. Sam encourages him to do what he wants, but sadly lets him know that she can't be the one to help him with this. Some of his memories are also her memories of their life, which make them extremely personal to her and she doesn't want to impact his progress with her expectations or hopes to which "Jason" is very understanding.
Sam continues to investigate the stalker and soon discovers that Jake is behind the incidents. She goes to the Webber home to talk about what's been going on with Elizabeth and finds Jake alone with the babysitter and a cut hand. He had just thrown a rock out the window and cut his hand on the glass. Sam goes to call his parents and assures him that everything will be okay, but he gets scared and runs into the basement. Sam follows him trying to calm him down, but loses her footing and falls down the stairs. Upon seeing Sam at the bottom of the stairs unconscious, Jake gets scared and runs away. While running away, he gets hit by a car and is taken to GH.
With Jake in the hospital, no one knows that Sam is missing and she stays trapped in the basement, unable to move and suffering from a concussion and mild hypothermia. "Jason" starts to realize that something is wrong after he gets a call from Alice Gunderson because Sam failed to pick up Danny from a birthday party. "Jason" learns from Kristina and Molly that the last time they heard from Sam, she was heading to Elizabeth's, so he goes there to search for her. Sam hallucinates "Jason" several times as she is falling in and out of consciousness. She plugs in an old heater to keep warm, but falls unconscious again just as the heater begins to emit sparks and smoke. "Jason" arrives at Elizabeth's house to find the smoke detectors going off. He searches the entire house and finally finds Sam in the basement. He picks her up and makes it out of the house just moments before the heater causes a major explosion and fire in the home. The force of the explosion knocks Sam and "Jason" several feet into the air just as they make their way out of the house. After a moment of unconsciousness for both, they wake up and "Jason" rushes her to the hospital.
At the hospital, "Jason" stays by Sam's bedside. When Elizabeth hears what happened, she fears that Jake pushed Sam down the stairs on purpose. But Sam assures her that it was an accident and Jake didn't hurt her. After she was treated, Sam also went to visit Jake herself to assure him that she was okay and he did nothing wrong. "Jason" continued to divide his time in the hospital between Sam and Jake. While at Sam's bedside he admitted to her that he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know her more and he's going to be better for her. After spending another day in the hospital Sam starts to get restless and misses Danny. She begs "Jason" to help her get out of there and he is initially hesitant, but eventually agrees.
"Jason" helps her sneak out but they are caught by Lucas, who eventually lets them go. They head to the Quartermaines to pick up Danny from Monica and then "Jason" takes them home to the penthouse. Sam, "Jason", and Danny spend time together as a family and after "Jason" puts Danny to bed, "Jason" and Sam have some time to talk. "Jason" tells Sam that coming so close to losing her made him realize that he doesn't want to lose her and he now feels just how much they're connected. Sam thinks he is only there to help her as a friend, but "Jason" assures her that it's more than that between them and pulls her into a kiss. "Jason" and Sam start making out on the couch, but the complication of their situation stops them from taking it any further. Instead, they have an honest conversation about their relationship and the people they are now. "Jason" then cooks her dinner and they enjoy spending more time together before he is called away with news on Jake's condition. "Jason" returns to see Sam the next day and tells her that he and Elizabeth have to take Jake to Shriner's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia for treatment. He kisses her goodbye and promises to take her out when he gets back.
"Jason" finds out what happened at Julian and Alexis Jerome's wedding from Nikolas, who was Philly visiting Elizabeth and brought Cameron and Aiden to see Jake. He immediately calls Sam to see if she is alright. He then asks her to bring Danny to Philadelphia, because he wanted to see them both and it would be good for Jake to see his little brother. Sam and Danny arrive and "Jason" is thrilled to see them. "Jason" takes Danny back to visit Jake, while Sam runs into Nikolas and talks to him about a case they are working on. After the visit, "Jason" and Sam discover that they are staying at the same hotel and Sam invites him to stop over to tuck Danny in. "Jason" stops by that night and Sam tells him more about her past and their past. When Danny is ready with his book, Sam reads him a bedtime story as he sits with his father and later falls asleep in his father's arms. Sam and "Jason" tuck him into bed together and later they fall asleep together on the couch.
Sam and "Jason" wake up in each other's arms. They kiss, flirt and tease about dreaming of the other. Their make-out session stops when they realize Danny is awake and they get up to tend to him. As "Jason" is leaving to return to his room, freshen up and head back to the hospital, they run into Elizabeth who sees him leaving Sam's room smiling. He explains that he came over to tuck Danny in for bed and stayed the night with them. Elizabeth tells him that Jake is being discharged and then leaves visibly unhappy. When "Jason" returns a little while later to invite Sam and Danny to walk over to the hospital with him, Sam declines stating that she doesn't want her presence to make Liz uncomfortable. However, "Jason" insists they come with him, because Elizabeth would just have to get used to the reality of their situation now. So, Sam and Danny accompany "Jason" to the hospital to bring Jake home.
After returning to Port Charles, "Jason" catches up with Sonny, Carly and Michael and later with Monica in the Quartermaine crypt. He also finds and purchases a new apartment. "Jason" calls Sam to meet him at the Metro Court Hotel, because he wants to share his news and give her a tour of his new place, but she's unable to go to see his place because she has to attend the reading of Helena Cassadine's will. When "Jason" leaves the Metro Court, he forgets his memorial plaque that he ripped off the wall of the Quartermaine crypt. After the will reading, Sam returns it to him and sees his new place. "Jason" and Sam kiss and end up talking about their relationship. A delivery interrupts them and Sam is shocked that "Jason" picked out the same two photos for his new place that previously sat on the mantle of his old penthouse for years. They talk more about his memories and "Jason" expresses frustration that he can remember the small things like a photo, but not the larger more important things. Both agree they want to move forward in their relationship and Sam suggests getting a divorce. At first "Jason" is resistant, but Sam explains that she thinks a divorce would be best so they could start fresh without the pressure of the past and he finally agrees. They meet Alexis at Kelly's a few days later and sign the paperwork, finalizing the divorce.
Later that night, "Jason", Sam and Danny have a family dinner at Kelly's, where they decide to go out on a date. Then they head to General Hospital to drop off Danny with his grandma Monica. While there they go to check on Tracy, who is having health problems. When Sam steps out of the room to take a phone call regarding her Hayden investigation, Tracy starts to hallucinate and believes that "Jason" is her father, Edward. After that encounter, Jason begins to see who the Quartermaines truly are -- his family, and he vows to get the family company back for them. Jason begins to help Sam investigate Hayden's shooting and they visit Shawn Butler in Pentonville to try and get some answers. After visiting with Shawn, they put the pieces together and discover that Nikolas had Hayden shot to keep her quiet about "Jason's" true identity.
Furious, Sam heads to Wyndemere to confront Nikolas and turn him in for attempted murder. Nikolas starts to man handle Sam in an attempt to stop her and "Jason" gets enraged. He attacks Nikolas and Curtis Ashford, who tries to break up the fight. "Jason" almost kills Nikolas, but Sam manages to talk him down and convince him to let Nikolas go for her. They head back to his place where Jason gets angry again upon seeing the bruises that Nikolas left on Sam. Sam tells Jason that she only cares about him and Danny and to not let Nikolas take any more time away from them. Jason kisses her and the two share a night of passion.
In the morning, "Jason" and Sam cuddle and talk about their relationship deciding to start fresh instead of starting over. Their morning bliss is interrupted by Carly who shows up on his doorstep pleading with "Jason" to talk Sonny out of killing Carlos Rivera. "Jason" tries but is unable to get through to Sonny. He returns back to Sam, who is still at his place and they spend the night together again.
Sam and "Jason" later confront Nikolas again and manage to blackmail him into selling them back all the ELQ shares he stole. Once ELQ is back in Quartermaine hands, Jason returns control of the company back to Michael. A few nights later, "Jason" and Sam spend the night together at the penthouse with Danny and Sam opens up, telling "Jason" what it was like when he was gone. Jake starts attending art therapy with Franco, which causes major issues with "Jason" because he doesn't want Franco around his son. After a heated confrontation at the hospital between "Jason" and Franco, Jason takes Sam out of town for a few nights to get away from the drama. A rainstorm forces them to take refuge in a barn for the night and as they start to make love, it's clear someone is watching them. After returning to town, the stalker continues to follow them. Sam and "Jason" catch onto him when they are in the park and realize someone is following them. It turns out to be Franco who was stalking them, although he claims otherwise. "Jason" threatens Franco and tells him to stay away from them and Jake.
In early May, "Jason" gets into a motorcycle accident with a prison van carrying Officers Dante Falconeri and Nathan West and prisoner Carlos Rivera to Pentonville. "Jason" ditches his bike to avoid the van and ends up unconscious. When he awakes, his head is pounding and he finds Dante, who is unconscious and pinned under the van. As he works to free Dante, he is visited by visions of Robin, Carly, Sam, Sonny and Helena who claims he is still under her control. "Jason" fights Helena's control and finally manages to break free of her hold and free Dante from the van right before it explodes. After this event, all of "Jason's" memories as Jason Morgan begin to get restored. He tells Sam that night and they go home together and celebrate. The next day at Sam's insistence, she and "Jason" go to the hospital, so he can get checked out. They later share the news with Monica, Sonny, Carly and Michael that his memories are returning.
Later in the month, "Jason" and Sam attend the 2016 Nurses' Ball together. At the conclusion of the ball, Diane tells "Jason" that Nikolas is suing him and as a result of the lawsuit ELQ's assets were frozen. "Jason" heads off to Spoon Island to talk to Nikolas about the lawsuit. Sam follows a little later and when she arrives, she hears crashing. She catches up with "Jason" in Nikolas' bedroom and finds the room trashed, window smashed and a body on the rocks. Knowing immediately that "Jason" wasn't involved, Sam tries to help him figure out what happened. By the time they get down to the bank, the body they saw, who they assume was Nikolas, is gone. Knowing that the PCPD would try to pin the crime on him once they got the slightest shred of evidence, "Jason" decides to figure out what truly happened to Nikolas. Sam goes with him to help him clear his name. Together, they figure out that Nikolas faked and staged his death. They track him and his unlikely companion, Ava Jerome to London and then Cassadine Island on Greece where they finally catch up with them.
Just as they are about to force Nikolas back to the States to clear "Jason's" name, Laura Spencer, Kevin Collins, Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer-Falconeri arrive on the island, also in search of Nikolas. Sam and Nikolas' uncle Valentin Cassadine who has been hiding among the group using the alias Theo, makes his move and takes the group hostage in order to force Nikolas to sign over the Cassadine family heritage. He immediately separates "Jason" and Sam from the others, locking them in a room and using Sam to control "Jason". Sam who has been complaining of fatigue and sleeping a lot, faints setting "Jason" off. "Jason" breaks out of his restraints to get to her and takes down the guard who was watching them. Once she awakes and reassures him that she is okay, they head down and free the others of Valentin's guards. All except Nikolas, who is once again presumed dead after a confrontation with Valentin.
The group plans to escape the island and find an old jet. "Jason" and Dante manage to pilot the jet, but Valentin tampered with the fuel tank and they are forced to make an emergency landing on a nearby island. "Jason" stays behind to try and shut off the engine and prevent an explosion while the others escape. The plane explodes anyways, but Sam is insistent that "Jason" survived and is determined to go after him. Dante tries to reason with her, but she is steadfast in her determination to find him, before she faints again. Soon after she comes to, "Jason" finds the group and reunites with Sam. They build a fire to signal the cost guard and are finally rescued from the island.
After returning to town, the charges against "Jason" are officially dropped and Sam and "Jason" reunite with their son. However, Valentin was still on the loose. He goes after Spencer Cassadine, but Sonny and "Jason" manage to stop him and he is taken into custody. Meanwhile, Sam confronts her father over his attack on her mother's life. Sam cuts him out of her life and after their heated confrontation, she faints again on her way out. She is taken to General Hospital and examined by Dr. Hamilton Finn. Sam assumes she contracted some sort of illness from the island and is shocked when Dr. Finn returns and tells her that she is pregnant. After the news sinks in, Sam is thrilled to realize that she and "Jason" are expecting another baby.
"Jason" comes to the hospital concerned after he learns that she was admitted. She is about to tell him about the baby when he starts to feel ill. Dr. Finn examines "Jason" and believes he has contracted malaria. The doctor tells Sam that since she was with "Jason" in Greece, she would need to be tested as well. If she contracted malaria, it could cause complications for her pregnancy. Sam and "Jason" are both tested and the results of both their tests show no signs of malaria, however Dr. Finn runs a second test to be sure. Meanwhile, "Jason" can tell that something is wrong with Sam and he tries to get her to open up. Sam wants to tell him about the baby, but wants to make sure that everything is okay with both her and the baby before doing so.
The following day, "Jason" is released from the hospital and he and Sam go home. "Jason" notices that something is off and that Sam is worried about something. He starts questioning her a little bit, and says he can tell there's something that she isn't telling him. He also tells her that they both know they are stronger together than they are apart. He eventually agrees to back off and asks her to admit that something is wrong. Eventually Sam relents and tells "Jason" that she's pregnant and "Jason" is ecstatic. He proposes to Sam "again" and she accepts. Later, they get a call from Dr. Finn telling them that both tests conclude Sam and the baby are malaria free.
Sam and "Jason" then turn their attention toward planning their wedding. "Jason" asks Sonny to be his best man and Sam asks Alexis to be her matron of honor. Sonny and Alexis both happily accept. Carly offers to plan and host the wedding at the Metro Court Hotel, but neither Sam nor "Jason" want anything extravagant. So, Carly offers to host the wedding at Greystone Manor instead, to which "Jason" and Sam both agree. Molly and Kristina also help Carly plan the wedding. "Jason" and Sam spend their pre-wedding night together at the Metro Court and make love. On the day of their wedding, "Jason" surprises Sam with Spinelli, who has flown in from Portland to officiate. "Jason" and Sam are "remarried" on September 6, surrounded by their closest friends and family. In attendance was; Danny, Jake, Sonny, Carly, Michael, Alexis, Kristina, Molly and Spinelli. Monica was unable to make it due to a crisis at the hospital.
Soon after remarrying, Sam and "Jason" are thrust into pressing situations concerning their parents. Sam was there to support her mother during her father's trial and "Jason" supported and stood vigil by his mother after she was attacked by the General Hospital killer. While Monica is unconscious, "Jason" shares the news that he and Sam are expecting Baby Morgan, which inspires Monica to fight and she soon wakes up. Sam and "Jason" also work hard to stop the impending mob war between Sonny and Julian, but neither man is too keen on listening to their reasoning. The brewing war comes to a head when Morgan Corinthos is presumed dead after a car bomb went off in Julian's car, which Morgan had stolen. "Jason" and Sam support the Corinthos family through the loss of Morgan.
Sonny initially believes that he is responsible for the car bomb, but "Jason" isn't convinced. Sonny had put a hit on Julian that night, but he called it off which meant someone else was responsible for the bomb. "Jason" and Sam begin looking into what really happened that night. During their investigation, Jason shares with Sam his desire to move his family to another city. He no longer wanted his family around all of the violence in the city, so they made plans to revisit the topic of moving to another city once they wrap up their investigation. "Jason" and Sam team up with Curtis Ashford, who was also investigating the bomb. "Jason", Sam and Curtis discover that Sonny was not responsible for the bomb, but someone who wants to eliminate both Sonny and Julian is.
Sam and "Jason" spend Christmas Eve together in the park with Danny. As a family, they also visit Sonny and Carly and spend some time with Michael, Kristina and Avery before heading to General Hospital to visit with Monica and hear the traditional Christmas story reading. On New Year's Eve, they plan to attend the wedding of Nathan West and Maxie Jones, but the wedding gets postponed when Maxie gets sick and it is revealed that Nathan is still married to Claudette. So instead, they go to the NYE party at the Metro Court to see Carly. They also spend some time catching up with Robin, who was back in town for Christmas and the wedding.
On February 28, 2017, "Jason" helps Sam deliver their daughter, Scout Cain (then known as Scout Morgan), after Sam was pushed off a bridge by Olivia Jerome and went into labor. Soon he was able to get them to the hospital saving them from a cold death under the bridge. Sam ended up in a coma but she soon woke up. Later, in March, "Jason" and Curtis saved Robin, in the elevator in GH, from nearly getting killed by a bomb strapped to her by Olivia Jerome, when she was trying to get revenge on her nemesis Anna Devane.
In July, Sam shot Sonny and left him to die in a dumpster in order to keep "Jason" away from the dangers of the mob. She was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis after collapsing at their house and it was later revealed that she got the disease as a result of Olivia pushing her off the bridge. Luckily, Scout didn't have the disease. Sonny wanted "Jason" to hide the fact Sam tried to kill him and as a result, "Jason" bribed a cop into giving him the gun Sam used and threw it off a bridge. Later, Sam eventually told Carly the truth and Carly was pissed at Sonny and especially "Jason", who she had trusted for so long.
On August 29, "Jason" and Sonny went to a mob meeting, where Sonny announced his retirement and talked about the future of the business, but after "Jason" left to see Sam, he returned to the meeting, where one mobster was holding Max hostage. Sonny soon tackled the mobster, but was pushed aside and the mobster fired a shot at Sam, who followed "Jason". Jason is able to get Sam out of the way, however, he gets shot instead and is critically wounded. After Sonny kills the mobster, "Jason" is rushed to the hospital, where he falls into a coma and wakes up nearly a month later.
On September 19, 2017, a man known as "Patient 6" is seen in Russia with Jason's original face. Patient 6 makes his way back to Port Charles, just as "Jason" wakes up. Patient 6 claims to be Jason, and is eventually believed to be the real Jason by many, including his best friends, Sonny and Carly, and his wife Sam whom he saved from one of the gunmen who had ambushed the Metro Court that night. He also learns that Jason's thought to be deceased son Jake is alive. Franco, who was also thought to be killed and proven to not be Jason's twin brother, reveals that Jason did have a twin brother named Andrew, but they do not know where he is. It's revealed that Andre Maddox used Jason and Andrew as part of a memory-mapping experiment, putting Jason's memories into Andrew, making them both believe they're Jason. Andre reveals that Patient 6 is Jason, and the "other Jason" is his twin brother, Drew Cain. Jason decides to find Faison, in hopes of figuring out why he and Drew were abducted and switched.
Meanwhile, Jason and Sam get closer over time and thanks to Carly, they are left stranded on the Haunted Star on New Year's Eve and ultimately kiss at midnight. In Mid-January 2018, he and Sam file for divorce, as she decides to stay with Drew. On January 22, Jason was fighting for Sam in order to stop the wedding, but it was too late when she married Drew. On January 26, Jason found Faison holding Carly hostage at the Metro Court and shot him in the chest to save her life. Faison died five days later from cardiac arrest and so Jason had avenged himself. Faison's son, Nathan West, whom Faison had shot moments before he attacked Carly, also died that night. In March 2018, during an earthquake that started shaking, Jason and Sam hide safely. Then, in the aftermath of the quake, Jason and Sam developed feelings for each other. By March 23, she told her husband, Drew that she had feelings and love for Jason, her ex-husband, that had her break up with Drew, who moved out of her penthouse soon afterwards. On March 27, Jason and Drew fought on the pier and were both arrested for assault and battery, leaving Sam devastated.
In May, Jason found out that the man who was responsible for his disappearance was Faison's son, Peter August, whom Jason wanted to kill for taking away five years of his life. Jason saved Anna from Peter and tried to kill him, but Anna stopped him since Peter was her son as well and therefore Jason allowed him to get arrested. However, it was later revealed that Faison forced Peter to hold Jason captive and thus he was eventually released. In July, after Carly was wrongly sent to Ferncliff by Nelle, Jason worked with Franco to get her out, and she was eventually was freed despite both of them temporarily spending time in jail. In early-mid October 2018, finally after their divorce nearly 9 months ago, Jason & Sam finally lovers again this time for real, by kissing in romance.
On January 22, 2019, Jason fell into the catacombs after saving Josslyn and Oscar, but he broke out and swam his way through cold water before reuniting with Sam. The two later made love that night for the first time in years. However, after Kristina joined a cult led by Hank Archer (aka Shiloh), who served in the military with Drew, Jason and Sam teamed up to flush out the cult. Sam decided to get closer to Shiloh to do so even though Jason did not like the idea. On February 22, when Shiloh took Sam to the Tower and wanted to spend the night with her, Jason attempted to confront him, but he became blind and fell down the stairs. He was cured at the hospital and there, Carly told him that she was pregnant.
On March 4, Jason discovered Carly to be missing in the GH parking lot after she was supposed to confront Kevin Collins about the patient who was next door to her at Ferncliff. Jason then found out from everyone in GH that Ferncliff patient was Kevin's twin, Ryan Chamberlain, who had locked the real Kevin up for months in the facility, impersonated him, terrorized the town as a serial killer, and has now kidnapped Carly. After finding out from Kim that 'Kevin' and Ava went to Niagara Falls to get married, Jason teamed up with Laura and went to Niagara Falls. After failing to find Ryan and Ava at their motel, Jason saw them walking on a bridge leading to Canada and then shot Ryan in the back of the shoulder before telling Ava to move out of the way. Laura arrives moments later and tries to tell Ava that her fiancee is not Kevin but Ryan and that the real Kevin is back at GH.
Jason fires a warning shot and threatens to finish Ryan, who tells him that he will never know what happened to Carly if he kills him now. Meanwhile, Ava continues to believe that 'Kevin' is having another nervous breakdown and is told by Ryan to not believe Laura since she wants them to be separated. As police approach their location, Ryan grabs Ava, profoundly declares his love for her, and throws her and himself off the bridge. Jason is able to catch Ava while Ryan falls into the river below to his presumed death. Laura eventually tells Ava the whole truth, leaving her emotionally destroyed, and Jason rescues Carly.
On March 25, Jason attacked Shiloh after being triggered about what Shiloh had said about Sam and Danny, so he was arrested for assault, but Shiloh dropped charges against him. On April 10, after Jason and Sam find out that Kristina is going to join The Trust at DOD, they both agree that they need to get her out of the cult. They make a plan to get Shiloh away from the house so Jason can get Kristina out. Sam pretends to be drunk and calls Shiloh so he can help her and Jason gets to the house to find Kristina laying down in the attic of the DOD house. It is obvious that she was drugged and was in the middle of the ceremony. Jason picks her up and the cup that she drank from, and he gets her out of the house. Kristina wakes up in one of Sonny's safe houses and is furious that Jason brought her there and ruined her ceremony. No one is letting Kristina leave the house. Jason goes to GH and asks Elizabeth to test the cup he took for drugs. Elizabeth gives the cup to Brad, who is also just getting into DOD as well. Shiloh sees Brad with the cup and he explains how important it is to Dawn of Day. Brad brings it back to Jason and he tells him that there was no trace of anything toxic on it. Jason tells Sonny this and he says he wants it tested from someone who can be trusted because it was obvious that she was drugged.
After Kristina gets away from DOD, Sam and Jason still need to get her pledge from Shiloh. Sam tells Jason that she needs to get into the trust, and get closer to Shiloh. Jason goes along with this plan. Sam tells Shiloh that she wants to join the trust and he tells her that she needs to make a pledge and she makes it about something that Jason did which he really didn't do. Shiloh accepts the pledge and then he says she is ready to join the trust. He offers her the drugs that the other girls had given Kristina, but she refuses and he is okay with it. As he is tattooing Sam, Jason comes in and knocks Shiloh out. Sam tells him that he needs to go find Kristina's pledge before he wakes up. Jason goes to the records room in the house and when he finds Kristina's folder, there is just blank pages because Shlioh knows that Jason would come looking for the pledge.
Jason later gets Spinelli's help to bug the attic on the house so that they can get proof of what Shiloh is planning on doing to Sam. Shiloh wants Sam to join the trust on the night of The Nurses Ball. Jason and Sonny listen to Shiloh and Sam. Sam takes the drugs this time and is under the influence of them as Shiloh finishes the tattoo. Jason and Sonny bust into the house and they fight off 2 guards that Shiloh had posted at the door. Jason goes up to the attic to find no one there. He knows where Shiloh took her and its the lighthouse where Jason went blind a few months ago. Jason makes it there just as Shiloh begins to sexually assault Sam. Jason pulls him off of her and he throws him down the stairs. Jason and Sam are at GH as well as Shiloh. Jason tries to tell Sam what happened because she is still groggy from the drugs. Sam wakes up scared and she doesn't know what is real, and Jason is there to comfort her.
On June 24, Jason and Michael went to Beecher's Corners to talk to a Carol Lockhart to find evidence that Shiloh had killed Willow Tait's dad Douglas Miller. Since Jason was not welcome in Beecher's Corners Michael went in to talk to Carol who explained her side of the story. Eventually Michael lead Carol to Jason who was parked outside of the city limits and after they took Carol's ankle monitor off they got ready to leave but an officer named Billy Pryce immediately assumed that Jason was kidnapping Carol so Billy arrested him. When Jason was in his cell Billy denied him his phone call and eventually he got a call from Shiloh who ordered him to kill Jason. Before he could another officer brought Michael in who was pretending to be drunk so he could get thrown in jail and help Jason. Michael gave Jason a paperclip and he used it to pick the lock on the cell and it worked. As the officers came back Jason attacked them and he covered for Michael by making it so that he was an innocent bystander and Jason locked both cops into the cell. Sam eventually came to their rescue and they drove off at a normal speed.
Due to becoming a fugitive, Jason had to stay in a safehouse and Sam stayed with him all night.
On July 5, Jason posed as Harmony's lawyer so he could visit her in prison when he told her about Shiloh being responsible for Douglas Miller's death. She denied it at first but then accepted the fact that it was true and that Shiloh is a monster so she turned on him and told him everything she knew about the day he died.
On July 11, Harmony was brought to the PCPD to give her official statement about the day Douglas Miller died and how she pressured Willow into canceling the meeting with him so that she could be induced into the trust. She started going by her real name "Lorraine Miller" again and pleaded for the cops to stop Shiloh. Jason was eventually cleared of the charges against him.
On July 19, Jason and Drew shared a meal at the Floating Rib after working on Oscar's treehouse and they discussed why Shiloh went out of his way to reconnect with Drew. Jason couldn't believe that Drew was friends with him at one point and Drew didn't believe it either. They discussed the possibility that there may be something in Drew's memories that Shiloh doesn't want anyone to know and when Shiloh showed up, Drew confronted him.
On July 30, Jason was spending time with Danny and Sam and when Danny had kicked his soccer ball to a fence Shiloh showed up and was talking to Danny. Jason and Sam found them and Jason told Danny to go to Sam before threatening Shiloh with another beating if he didn't stay away from his family. Jason and Sam eventually went to Drew's office to talk to him about Shiloh and they learned that the flash drive with his memories was missing and they learned that Shiloh had someone steal it. Sam eventually went to Shiloh's motel room and found it but was kidnapped by Shiloh who called Jason and told him that if he didn't do what he asked then Sam will die.
On August 5, Jason went to Shiloh's motel room, handed over his gun, and attacked him a lot but Shiloh said that Sam dies if he kills him. Shiloh wants Jason to have Drew's memories transferred onto him since he had the real flashdrive while Sam took a fake one. When Shiloh asked Jason if he wanted to be the recipient of the transfer or let Sam die, Jason brutally knocked him out with a golden hand and left to save Sam from a freezer at the old DoD house, accidentally leaving his gun behind for Shiloh to take. When he got Sam out, Jason performed mouth-to-mouth CPR to resuscitate her and took her to GH.
Unfortunately, Shiloh used Jason's gun to kidnap Cameron Webber and tried to have Dr. Cabot transfer Drew's memories onto him, but Franco took Cam's place just before Curtis and the real Drew rescued them. Shiloh and Cabot were both arrested. Meanwhile, Franco now believes he the Drew prior to 2012 and at the Floating Rib, he tells Jason all about his past and how he knew all the Quartermaines before threatening him because Jason called him by his real name. Franco then punches Det. Chase and gets arrested.
On September 5, Jason and Sam found out that the flight Drew took to Afghanistan to return Shiloh's illegal money had disappeared. Four days later, the flight was revealed to have crashed with no survivors.
On September 18, Shiloh called Jason from Pentonville and dropped a huge hint about a connection to Peter August when he claimed that Peter gave the green-light to do an exclusive article on him. In light of a Shiloh-Peter connection, Jason called Spinelli and put him on Peter's trail. On September 19, Shiloh's trial began and Jason supported Sam. When Shiloh took the stand, he eventually used Sam's past against her which upset Sam and Jason. Robert told Jason that Shiloh must be brought to justice legally, not by his own brand of justice. Jason later told Sam that if the legal system fails, he will personally "take care" of him. Chase was furious to learn that Shiloh escaped from custody.
On September 23, Jason found an unconscious Bobbie on the side of the road. He took her to the hospital where she woke up and told him that Shiloh was disguised as a police officer and he stole her car, plus was horrified when Shiloh had kidnapped "Wiley" and begged Jason to find him. Jason tried to get a hold of Sam but he couldn't so he had Spinelli trace his phone to the last known cell tower and ended up going to Pier 55, where he found Dev holding Wiley. Dev told Jason that Sam was on the Haunted Star.
Jason found Shiloh trying to rape Sam on the ground and shot him to save her, but had a bulletproof vest unbeknownst to them. After leaving the deck, Sam left and Shiloh (without vest) attacked Jason, eventually knocking him down to the ground in the ensuring fight. As Shiloh got ready to bludgeon Jason to death, Sam grabbed a flare gun and shot Shiloh in the back with it, causing him to fall overboard and die. Jason then takes Sam to the hospital to get her treated for an arm wound which Shiloh gave her. Later, a dead body is brought to GH and Willow identifies the body to be Shiloh's.
On September 30, Sam was arrested for Shiloh's murder thanks to a D.O.D. nurse named Sherri Anderson claimed that Sam intended to kill him in premeditated manner, which was pure hearsay. However, Sam was released on bail and Spinelli was working to prove that the recording used to frame Sam was doctored, but he couldn't prove it although he also couldn't prove that it was authentic. On October 9, the charges against Sam were dropped.
On October 14, Jason and Sam learned that the WSB couldn't find a body from the plane crash and that Drew was going to be declared "dead in absentia." Sam was devastated and acknowledged that Drew was good to her and Jason comforted her over Drew's presumed death. Meanwhile, Jordan called Sam back to the PCPD where she was once again arrested for Shiloh's murder by FBI agent Edward Caldwell thanks to Bryce Henderson framing her by naming her as the person who hired him to help Shiloh escape. Meanwhile, Jason met with Andre Maddox who named Bryce as his attacker.
On October 17, Jason visited Bryce in Pentonville and offered him a way out; Bryce names the person who hired him and in return he will get a deal from the feds. Bryce indirectly confirmed Jason's suspicions that Peter August was behind it. Jason was optimistic, but his plan went out the window when Bryce was murdered by Ryan Chamberlain.
On November 6, Jason learned from Sam that her cellmate was Cassandra Pierce and she was asking Sam about her connection to the Cassadines. Eventually, Jason visited Valentin Cassadine and asked about Cassandra but he didn't give him much. Afterward, Jason rescued his daughter Charlotte from Cassandra's henchman and he helped Anna fight off the goons as she fought with Cassandra. Eventually, Cassandra managed to escape on a boat only for it to blow up which presumably killed her.
On November 18, Jason and Spinelli were there for Sam at her bench trial and after hearing both sides, the judge declared Sam not guilty of first degree murder but guilty of involuntary manslaughter since she didn't believe Jason was in imminent danger and that he could have overpowered Shiloh even though he was near death. The judge took into account that Sam was a model prisoner and had good behavior so she sentenced her to two years in Pentonville with a recommendation for early parole.
After the trial, Jason vented to Carly and said he should have killed Shiloh from the beginning when he had a chance. Carly calmed him down and then they got to talking about Danny and Scout. Jason said he knows that Scout is Drew's but loves her as if she was his own.
On Christmas Eve (shown on December 27), Sam was finally released on parole and Jason brought her home which made Danny, Scout and Alexis happy.
On New Year's Eve, Sam and Jason grew suspicious when someone invited her, Willow, Harmony, and Michael to Shiloh's memorial. Eventually, Sam had her first parole meeting and was upset when her parole officer said she had to stay away from Jason or else she'll be sent back to prison.
On January 8, 2020, Jason and Sam went to Robert and asked for his help in getting a new parole officer. Although he initially refused, he eventually agreed to help when they promised to get proof that Peter August is behind Drew's presumed death, the two counts of attempted murder on Andre Maddox, and for Sam being framed for manslaughter despite killing Shiloh in defense of Jason.
On January 29, Sonny, his ailing father Mike Corbin, and Jason were targeted by a gunman at a Brooklyn pub, but Jason was able to kill the gunman after a shootout. This incident was tied to two other shootouts back in Port Charles on the same day. On February 4, Jason shot a gunman who killed one of Sonny's men Brent Green and found out from him that a man named Cyrus Renault was the one targeting Sonny and Port Charles. Cyrus was a Midwestern mob boss who was already locked up in Pentonville Penitentiary for crimes Jordan Ashford and Marcus Taggert framed him for, and was now planning from behind bars to displace Sonny and import illegal drugs into Port Charles. On February 19, Sonny had Jason blow up one of Cyrus' warehouses. On February 28, Jason helped Curtis Ashford and Taggert rescue Taggert's daughter Trina Robinson and Cameron Webber from Walker and Cyrus' other men, one of whom who shot Taggert before being killed by Jason.
On April 6, Cyrus was exonorated for his crimes and released from Pentonville. He later met Jason at the Metro Court. However, in August, Cyrus hired a henchman to sabotage Jason’s motorcycle, causing Jason to get injured in an accident and then need medical attention and exploratory brain surgery. In September, Cyrus even became head of the board at GH, which he used as a hub to smuggle in his drugs. In November, Cyrus blackmailed Sam's father Julian Jerome into blowing up the Floating Rib in an attempt to kill Jason or else he would tell Sonny that Julian helped Brad Cooper keep Wiley Quartermaine-Corinthos (Jason's great-nephew via Michael) away from Michael for a year and a half. Jason and his son Danny luckily left the Floating Rib moments before Julian blew it up which killed Dev Cerci and Dustin Phillips, rendered Lulu Spencer comatose, and injured many more.
After Britt Westbourne told Sonny and Jason about Julian's involvement with Brad, they figured out that he and Cyrus were responsible for the bombing. They tried to confront Julian at Wyndemrere, but he jumped off a balcony to both avoid being confronted and to avoid being killed by his sister Ava or Cyrus (who wanted to punish him for failing to kill Jason). Sonny later found out that Julian was hiding in New York City, so he recruited Jason to come along. Sam, who had been struggling with the danger and violence ever since Danny almost died in the Floating Rib explosion, broke up with Jason before he left for the trip. Jason was devastated and confided in Sonny about the break-up while they waited for word on Julian's exact location.
In New York, Sonny and Jason found Julian near Kim Nero's apartment, but Cyrus' gunman shot Julian in the back and enagegd the two into a shootout. Jason killed the gunman, but the wounded Julian was gone. They then had to track Julian at a train station in Secaucus, New Jersey, but were ambushed by another one of Cyrus' gunmen hired to kill Julian. Jason killed the gunman in a shootout and was temporarily arrested, while Sonny accidentally killed Julian during a struggle for a gun on the bridge, having failed to get him to surrender and implicate Cyrus. Jason went to check on Sonny on the bridge, but when he arrived and stepped on, the bridge collapsed, sending Sonny and Julian's corpse falling down. Julian's body was recovered, but Sonny was presumed dead, causing Jason to return home and break the bad news to the Corinthos family.
On December 29, Jason set up a business meeting with Cyrus to make a deal, but when Cyrus offered to let his illegal drugs flow in, Jason refused and revealed that he had killed Walker, whom Cyrus tried to have kill Jason during the meeting. Cyrus got enraged and tried to kill Jason, but Carly and the Corinthos guards arrived. In response, Carly had Cyrus' mother, Florence Grey kidnapped from her care facility and forced a reluctant Jason to help her hold her "captive" for months.
On March 9, 2021, Jason came across Franco Baldwin after he had been shot by Peter and tried to check for his pulse, right when Elizabeth Webber arrived, thinking Jason had shot him. As Elizabeth tried to save her husband, Jason called 9-1-1, but Franco died. Elizabeth named Jason as Franco's killer making him the prime suspect. Peter allied with Cyrus, who then had Sonny's cousin Gladys Corbin falsely tell the police that she saw Jason dispose of the murder weapon, causing Jason to be arrested.
Carly then took over the Corinthos organization and had former associate Shawn Butler stab Jason in Pentonville to get him to GH. Carly and Spinelli then had one guard and Brick help Jason escape from custody, but Jason went back to save Britt, whom Cyrus tried to have killed for investigating his drug smuggling activities at the hospital. While fleeing with Britt from Cyrus' men, Jason was shot in the back by one of Cyrus' hidden men, though he eventually recovered while Carly attended the Five Families meeting to wreck Cyrus.
Jason and Britt were on the run and in hiding from the police and Cyrus. They grew closer together, especially when Britt found out she had the marker for Huntington's disease, which she inherited from her late father Faison. They grew so close that they had sex at a safe house in Canada. On May 28, Jason returned to Port Charles to help save Spinelli from Cyrus, whom he shot in the shoulder before getting arrested again. In the end, Gladys rescinded her false statement and Cyrus was arrested after taking Portia Robinson and her daughter, Trina hostage in their home. Jason was exonerated for Franco's murder, while Franco's real killer Peter was presumed dead after an altercation with Hamilton Finn.
After getting released, the Five Families wanted Jason to eliminate Carly to ensure that he was the true head of the Corinthos organization. He refused and they decided to get married to show the Five Families they were a united front, which devastated Britt. Jason and Carly got married on September 17. Cyrus (in prison) tried to have mob bosses Vincent Novak and Charles Buscema blow up Jason and Carly on their wedding day, but fellow mob boss Selina Wu arranged for the bomb to blow them up instead. After the wedding, Jason and Carly tried to make love, but Sonny arrived, having returned from being presumed dead and living an amnesic life in Nixon Falls.
With his marriage to Carly invalidated and Sonny back as the Corinthos boss, Jason was recruited by Britt to rescue her mother, Liesl Obrecht from an alive Peter in Greece. He accepted and once they got there, they were informed that Jason's presumed dead twin, Drew Cain was also alive and out there. Eventually, at Cassadine Island, Jason and Britt found Liesl and took Peter captive, but Peter had a conditioned Drew take all three of them captive. Peter had Jason and Drew chained up in a wine cellar, where Jason discovered how Peter conditioned and unconditioned Drew, obtaining the deactivation card with Britt's help.
While a conditioned Drew was reporting for duty, Peter sent one of his guards to kill Jason, but Jason killed the guard and confronted Peter. Peter ordered Drew to kill Jason, while he left with Britt and Liesl to the underground tunnels. Jason was able to uncondition Drew during their fight and they went to the tunnels, where Jason shot Peter in the arm when he tried to condition Drew again and forced him to flee. Before the twins, Britt, and Liesl could leave, Peter reappeared and opened fire on them, causing Jason to return fire. The gunfire caused the unstable tunnels to collapse right on Jason and near the others who were subsequently knocked out. Drew, Britt, and Liesl were rescued while Peter was arrested. Jason was never found and was presumed dead once more.
On March 15, 2022, Monica announced to the family that she would be having Jason legally declared dead. Since his body was never found, there is a chance he's still alive and could resurface again one day.
On March 4, 2024, Jason was revealed to be alive, having survived the tunnel collapse on Cassadine Island. He was revealed to be back in Port Charles, appearing to be working with an operative named Hamish trying to take out mob bosses. Jason watched as Hamish aimed his sniper at Sonny Corinthos. As Hamish got ready to take a shot, Jason nudged his arm and made him miss before telling him let's go. Later, they were on the pier and when Detective Dante Falconeri found them, Hamish hid as Jason put his hands up and turned around, revealing himself to Dante, who was shocked and confused. Before Jason could explain himself, Hamish then came out and shot Dante twice with armor piercing bullets, critically injuring him despite wearing a bulletproof vest. Hamish addressed Jason as "Jacobs" and told him to leave him since they'll miss the extraction team, so "Jacobs" told Hamish to go to the extraction and he'll find another way. Hamish told "Jacobs" it was his call before secretly pulling out his gun and telling him to watch his six.
As Hamish went to shoot "Jacobs", Jason fatally shot him in self defense, made sure he was dead before going back to Dante, telling him to keep breathing. Jason took Dante's vest off of him and propped him up while keeping pressure on his wounds, urging him not to talk. After Jason called 911, the paramedics soon came and Jason told Dante he was going to make it before he disappeared. Later, Jason realized that Hamish had shot him before when he saw that he himself was bleeding out.On March 6, Damian Spinelli and Ava Jerome worked to look at any footage of the men who tried to take out Sonny. After Spinelli successfully pulled up the footage, he and Ava were shocked to see Jason.
Later, Ava went to reveal the news to Sonny that Jason's alive and appears to be gunning for him, but Sonny refused to believe it because Jason hasn't shown his face and would never try to take him down since they've been friends for years. Ava tried to make Sonny believe it by showing him the tablet of the footage and reminded him that he's being targeted by "Stone", which Ava says stands for "Stonecold". Sonny still refused to believe that Jason could be his enemy.
On March 8, Carly Spencer returned home but heard her name called from a very familiar voice. She looked to see who it was and was stunned to see it was Jason, who promised it was really him. Overwhelmed with relief and emotions, Carly ran into his arms and cried, "You came back". Jason apologized for taking so long and when Carly asked where he's been, she realized he's been shot, so she went to get a first aid kit and made him promise not to leave, which he did. Once she came back, she cleaned up his bullet wound and patched him up before asking him how he could be there. Carly wished that she could call her mom, Bobbie Spencer and Jason asked her not to call Bobbie, which led to Carly revealing that she can't because Bobbie died.
When FBI agent John Cates and PCPD Commissioner Anna Devane knocked on Carly's door, Jason hid upstairs as she opened the door. They revealed to her that Jason is alive and asked to search her house, which she refused to let them do but John said that them asking was a courtesy because they have a warrant and don't need her permission. As they searched the house, Jason disappeared so Anna and John quickly deduced that Jason would go to the footbridge he would normally visit. As Jason made it to the footbridge, he was spotted by John and Anna, who tried to reason with him and convince him to turn himself in so they could sort everything out, but Jason jumped off the footbridge. Later, Jason stumbled his way to the Quartermaine Boathouse before he collapsed.
On March 12, after waking up, Jason was found by his son Danny, who was initially upset to see his father but when Jason swore on Danny's life that he didn't shoot Dante, Danny agreed to help him. Danny grabbed a first aid kit for Jason and came back to the boathouse. Jason then asked Danny not to tell his mother, Sam McCall that he saw him. Danny later brought Michael Corinthos and Michael's wife, Willow to the boathouse where they were shocked to see Jason alive.
As Michael shared a reunion with Jason, he and Willow worked to patch Jason up and give him fresh clothes. Michael thought that Jason should burn his current clothes but Jason said he needed them so no one would think he got help from anyone, so Michael had Willow wash his clothes.
On March 14, when Michael noticed that Jason's left arm was covered with tattoos, he wondered what happened to him while he was gone. Jason told Michael that he was not killed in the tunnel collapse - his path to Britt Westbourne, Liesl Obrecht and his twin brother, Drew Cain was blocked so he found another way out to the beach, only to be captured by two men with guns and was taken to a room with no windows. Jason also revealed that he's been working as a private military contractor under orders of his boss who has leverage over him and his job is not finished, plus he explained what happened when he first came back to Port Charles. Michael rightfully guessed that Jason wasn't going to tell him what leverage his boss had over him and asked if he would have come back to Port Charles if he didn't have to work a mission in town. Jason admitted he wasn't sure.
Later, Jason remembered being held in Quantico where he was greeted by FBI agent John Cates, who told Jason that they have irrefutable proof of RICO violations and criminal conspiracy that carries a 20-year prison sentence, revealing that John is Jason's boss.
On March 22, after talking to his attorney, Diane Miller, Jason decided to turn himself in so he could clear himself as a suspect in shooting Dante, so Diane accompanied Jason to the PCPD where he was formally arrested by Detective Harrison Chase.
On March 25, after Jason had been booked and processed, he was put into the interrogation room before Chase brought John in and introduced Jason to John, unaware that they already know each other. When Chase told Jason that he didn't have to speak to John without his attorney present, Jason said he didn't need his lawyer, surprising Chase since Diane was with him when he turned himself in. Chase accused Jason of thinking he'll get out of his situation on a technicality by talking to John, who interrupted and asked Jason if he's waving his right to council. Jason confirmed he was, so John told Chase he'd take it from there. After Chase left the room, John privately confronted Jason on what he's doing there and asked him why he turned himself in. Jason told John that he's there to set the record straight since he didn't shoot Dante but John told him the evidence said otherwise.
John told Jason to take him through what happened, so Jason updated him on what happened during the assassination attempt on Sonny's life and how he made sure Hamish would miss his shot plus had him leave his rifle, as instructed. When Jason explained how Dante caught up with them just as they were making their way to the extraction team, he revealed that he stopped, Hamish didn't and he turned around to face Dante before Hamish shot him. John told Jason it was a mistake to let Dante I.D. him but it didn't matter because his cover was already blown - Sonny had warehouse footage of him and Hamish on the rooftop of the warehouse. When Jason revealed that he and Hamish exchanged fire after Dante was shot, he killed Hamish, so John told Jason that he didn't have time for this because he didn't want to be there when Anna would arrive so he ordered Jason to tell him everything.
After Jason confirmed that he called 911 and stayed with him until he heard the sirens, John wondered why Jason ran instead of calling him. Jason said that he couldn't make his way back to the extraction team if they learned that he killed Hamish and would've heard of an APB put out on him as Jason Morgan, so John told Jason that he should have called him and there were backup protocols. When John asked Jason where he went, Jason told him he went to the bridge but John knew he was holding back and rightfully guessed that he was at Carly's house when he and Anna arrived to search the house. Jason refused to confirm that, so John reluctantly let it go before asking him where he went after he jumped off the bridge, asking him who helped him. Jason refused to answer, so John reminded Jason that he promised to fully cooperate and this wasn't cooperating, plus he told him they've invested 2 1/2 years into this undercover operation and if Dante dies, he's looking at capital murder and the FBI would be forced to move forward with the evidence that leveraged his cooperation. John reminded Jason that they both knew he wouldn't want that before leaving.
On March 26, Jason was brought into the interrogation room again where he was greeted by Anna, who asked Jason if he shot Dante. Jason said no, so she thanked him and believed him, but told him she wasn't sure if her belief in his innocence would be enough to help him. Anna questioned Jason on what was going on and told him that he didn't have to answer her questions without his lawyer, so when she questioned him, Jason went to say that he had nothing to say without his attorney. However, when Anna revealed that she knows he spoke to John earlier, she couldn't believe they were talking about the old days, prompting Jason to ask what she meant.
Anna meant that she was talking about their time in high school together, leading Jason to remind her that he can't even remember his time in high school. When Anna revealed that John and Jason was Stone Cates' older brother and used to go by "Jagger", Jason revealed that he knew the name "Jagger" but he didn't know that "Jagger" was Agent Cates. Anna guessed that he had no reason to mention it, so Jason grew angry about being lied to and revealed to Anna that he's been working for John since November 2021. Anna was surprised that Jason was working for John and asked him in what capacity. Jason revealed that he was working as an informant for the FBI, surprising Anna even more, so Jason went to explain everything. When Jason started with how the tunnel collapse on Cassadine Island blocked his path to Britt, Liesl and Drew, he stopped when he saw a look of sadness in Anna's eyes, so Anna revealed that Britt was murdered, which devastated Jason, who asked if they caught her killer. Anna confirmed that her killer was in custody and asked him if he needed a minute, so Jason said that Britt had a great smile and Anna offered her condolences.
Jason then went on to say that after the tunnel collapse blocked his path to Britt and the others, he went out to the main beach and started back towards the main house, only to be arrested by two FBI agents before he was flown to Quantico. When he was put in a room with no windows, John came in and introduced himself, revealing that the FBI has evidence of RICO violations and criminal conspiracy. Jason revealed that they offered him a deal - the FBI would not pursue charges if he were to become their informant. Anna asked if he was informing on Sonny and Jason said no, that would never happen - he was informing on a company called Pikeman, surprising Anna since she's heard of the company. Jason revealed that the FBI believes that Pikeman was selling illegal weapons to rogue states flagged by the NSA but the investigation couldn't be on the books because of its deep ties to the WSB, which didn't surprise Anna. Jason revealed that the FBI couldn't use a federal agent, they needed a civilian and another reason why is because Pikeman promotes from within, so for Jason to get to whoever was in charge, he started out by signing on as a military contractor. Anna then wondered how long Jason has been working as a mercenary soldier and Jason revealed he's been working deep undercover the whole time. Jason revealed that Pikeman has been targeting Sonny and they sent different teams each time they tried to take him out, so Anna wondered if Jason was present at the Metro Court and the Puerto Rico shooting. Jason said no but he knows about the other shootings because when Pikeman preps each team, he has them do their research on the previous shootings and they sent him and Hamish to take out Sonny at the warehouse, confirming he was on the rooftop of the warehouse.
Anna wondered if John knew Jason and Hamish were up on the rooftop the night of the warehouse shooting and Jason said yes, angering Anna since John withheld that information. Jason told Anna everything that happened after he made sure Hamish missed his shot and left his rifle, even revealing that somehow Dante caught up with them. Jason revealed that if Dante recognized him, his deep cover work for 2 1/2 years would be gone, but he turned around anyway and Dante recognized him before Hamish shot Dante. When Anna asked where Hamish was, Jason revealed that he was dead but when Anna revealed that they never found the body, Jason said that Pikeman's people were very thorough. He called 911 for Dante and stayed until he heard the sirens. Anna believed it made sense but asked why Jason ran, so Jason said if he stayed, he would've been arrested and he didn't think John would've wanted that, plus he figured that if the FBI couldn't use him for Pikeman, they could've used him for something else and revealed to Anna that if Dante dies, he gets charged with capital murder and he'll be of no use to the FBI if he's in prison for the rest of his life. Anna told Jason not to give up on Dante and said that by saving Dante's life, he may have saved himself.
On March 27, Sam went to see Jason at the PCPD and asked if he shot Dante. Jason said no and she believed him, but grew angry when Jason told Sam that he told Danny not to tell her that he saw him and has been helping him. After yelling at Jason, she ordered him to stay away from Danny.
On March 28, Jason was arraigned at the courthouse and was granted a $5 million dollar bail after Diane made a compelling argument on Jason's behalf, so Michael paid Jason's bail and Jason was released. Michael told Jason let's go home, but Jason said he couldn't go home yet, so he paid Sonny a visit at his penthouse. Sonny wasn't very happy to see Jason and Carly was also there. When Jason revealed that he's now an FBI informant, Sonny wondered why Jason would do that and he said he didn't have a choice. Sonny knew that Jason would never work for the FBI unless it was to protect someone, so he wanted to know who Jason was protecting. To his shock, Jason said he was protecting himself, so Sonny felt betrayed but Carly defended Jason, reminding him that Jason had his reasons and he saved Dante's life. Despite the fact that Jason would never inform on Sonny, he called both Jason and Carly traitors and wanted them to leave.
Later, Carly took Jason to Bobbie's where she gave him a room upstairs, plus she revealed the story of how Bobbie sold Kelly's to her for $1 and she renamed Kelly's to Bobbie's to honor her. Later, they learned that Dante woke up and cleared Jason's name, so the charges against Jason were dropped and he was exonerated.Crimes Committed[]
