Starr and her fiance Cole Thornhart drive through Port Charles with their little girl, Hope, when they are hit by Anthony Zacchara's car. Both cars crash. Starr gets out, while Cole and Hope are stuck inside their car. Starr asks Anthony for help and he says that he can't because Sonny Corinthos is after him and that he has shot out his tires. Starr runs back to the car when Michael shows up and promises that he will save her family. After Michael can't do what he promises, he can't bring himself to tell Starr, who has been knocked out. Starr is devastated and is determined to make Sonny pay.

Later, Starr goes after Sonny with a gun and is about to shoot him when Michael shows up. Starr backs off Sonny and Michael turns her in to the police. Starr is sent to jail and her dad is not happy. Her dad, Todd Manning, makes a deal with Sonny that if Michael recants his statement to the police that he will keep his mouth shut about Sonny's girlfriend, Kate Howard, being responsible for shooting out Anthony's tires, which is information Todd overheard. Michael recants, and Starr is released from jail.

On the Fourth of July, Michael takes Starr to the Quartermaine's and, while they watch the fireworks, they kiss and decide to try dating to see how it goes. Michael's mom, Carly Jacks, and Starr's mom, Blair Cramer, are fine with the two dating; but the dads aren't. Todd is skeptical about it, and Sonny doesn't like the idea at all because of how Starr pulled a gun on him. Kate tells Sonny that she thinks it's great and then Sonny sees the bright side.

During the Halloween week, Starr and Michael start making out on Starr's apartment couch. They end up dressing up and attending the Haunted Star's Halloween Party. Starr decides that she is ready to speed up the relationship. Starr heads back to her apartment, while Michael goes to the drugstore. Starr helps Michael deal with the arrival of the precieved died Michael's father A.J. and death of his great-grandfather Edward.

December 7, they try to have sex but this attempt is failed due to Carly knocking. Carly is there to apologize, but later gets into an argument over Michael wanting to work with AJ.

December 26 (Christmas episode with the setting as the 24th), Michael and Starr try to figure out which place to go to. Starr doesn't want to go to her father's and Michael is debating on which father he wants to go to (either to the Quartermaine's, with his biological father, AJ or to Sonny's, his adoptive father). Starr says that they can stay at the apartment and they end up having sex.
