In caring for John, Jax and Carly got close and felt a romantic connection.

Carly loved Jax and followed him, but spotted him with another woman, so she left.

Joss got a donated kidney, and the battle resumed.

After Jax was drugged and made to look like a villain, Carly was given sole custody of Josslyn.

Sonny then had Jax’s plane sabotaged, which ended up crashing, and he was presumed dead.
