Morgan thought he was saved when rumors came out that Michael and Kiki were related, rumors started by Ava herself. When Morgan finds out that they aren't he tries to keep it a secret, and makes his father Sonny Corinthos keep it a secret. Ava then helps Morgan with the relationship even lending him money to buy an engagement ring. Morgan than rushes Kiki to the altar before his brother finds out they're not related. During their reception party held by Ava for the couple, Sonny spills that Morgan knew about them not being related because he was off his meds. Morgan then gets mad at his entire family getting very heated up and angry.

Later on Kiki tells him that she can't stay married to him due to his lie so he runs away. he doesn't know where to go so he finds himself at Ava's room in the hotel. He tells her that she was the only one who cared. He than kisses Ava which causes her to slap him across the face. She refuses and tells him that the relationship will be fixed not knowing what Kiki had told him. When she does hear what Kiki had said she finally lets him kiss her which turns into a lot of sex. They later end up falling in love with each other. 

Morgan breaks up with Ava, when he returns home to his father. Ava comes to Sonny's office to see Morgan. Morgan tells her they can't be together, but she doesn't accept it. Morgan suggest that she leaves Julian to come work for Sonny. Ava agrees and Sonny comes to talk to her, he says she has to prove it. Since it was Valentines Day, Ava sent Morgan a text message telling him to meet her in a hotel room. Morgan texts back that he can't, but shows up anyway. He tried to leave insisting that he didn't know why he even came but they end up sleeping together. Ava then, to prove to Sonny she was serious and trustworthy, downloads all of Julians important files onto a flash drive she gives to Sonny.

Ava decides to put a hit on A.J. to hide the fact that she killed Connie. She goes to New York as an alibi and tells Morgan before she goes. This leaves him extremely worried when he shows up at her apartment building tot be told by the police someone was shot in her apartment.
