Sonny releasing the lockdown seemed premature

[cadreamin']

When Sonny told the kids and Brando that they were “free” to go wherever, I thought oh no. I was surprised that Sonny believed in his deal with Cyrus. By releasing them all, one of them is destined for trouble. Cyrus is not to be trusted, has Sonny really mellowed that much that he believes him.

I just watched and thought the same. The kids are safer at home until Cyrus is handled once and for all.

Yes me too, what is Sonny thinking unless he has something in place that we don't know about.

Me too. It seems foolish for Sonny to just believe Cyrus immediately,

He did tell Joss and Dev that he still wanted his guys to drive them around, That makes sense and indicates he still thinks they should be cautious

And now they’re heading to the movie theatre. A perfect place to grab someone !! Eek.

Cyrus wants to eliminate Jason in order to cripple Sonny's empire. He's not looking to kidnap children anymore.

I heard that too and hope you are right. But Sonny’s enthusiasm in freeing them seemed to be foreshadowing danger for one of them. My guess is Dev. He is not relevant to any story lines right now so he could be the dispensable one of the four.

Or, it could be that the writers just want to amp up the teen stories. Which is easier to do if two of the four aren't in lockdown.

I don't know---I think it's ridiculous. Sonny was just saying he was going to lull Cyrus into a false sense of security, and then get rid of him. So---easing up on "lockdown" is part of his strategy? I don't care how big a security team the teens have, it's a dangerous ploy on his part. Sonny doesn't know Cyrus well enough to say whether or not he's "done" using people's kids as leverage.

I agree it is premature as Sonny is planning on get rid of Cyrus and Cyrus is planning on getting rid of Jason and probably Sonny.

Sonny doesn't really care about those kids. I hate to say it but they're both dispensable to him. Joss is Jax's daughter and Dev is some orphan waif he literally picked up off the streets. I'm sure he cares about Joss in some way because she's Carly's kid but if Joss dies, he'll just shift Carly's focus to his other daughter Avery and of course Donna. if that's not enough to relieve her pain, he'll just knock her up again with his super sperm who cares if the last time was a health risk for her. It's his chance for more spawn. Reproducing and maintaining power are all Sonny is concerned about.

[McShirls]

I totally disagree with this post.

[cadreamin']

True - say anything about Sonny but he definitely cares about his kids.

[jodyb22]

That's the beauty of this board McShirls, we all have the ability to respectfully disagree.

sonny droppi g the lockdown made me feel like we lost some episodes, but i doubt thats the case with tptb making efforts to extend the show’s footage and new episodes.

so, it was totally out of character to drop his guard so soon

Right. there is really no teen scene if they are locked up in their houses. Now they can go about town. I don't see Cyrus having interest in Joss, Dev or Cameron anyway..

I wonder if rues that day down the road
