Just when Carly had accepted that comatose son Michael will never wake up, his twitching finger keeps flickering hopes for recovery alive.

“She sees his finger move!” cheers Laura Wright(Carly).She 100 percent believes that this is him trying to come back to her. She knows she’s not going out of her mind. She’s like, I saw it! I know I saw it!”

While Partick does not doubt that Michael’s finger moved,the neurosurgeon has a different interpretation.”Patrick’s like, “It’s just a reflex,”scoffs Wright.

“Carly’s like, No! He hasn’t made a move since [the shooting].Now that we gave him the test,all of a sudden his hand moves.She’s like, “It’s a sign.I know it is.”

Jax is on board, too. “He’s like “If you believe you saw it , I believe it,too.”

Naturally,she rushes to share the news with Jason,whose reaction is…muted.”He’s just fearful, “sighs Wrighr.”Everyone’s afraid to really jump in and believe, because they don’t want to be disappointed.

But that’s not Carly,’She’s like. “I don’t need you to hope for me.I can hope for the both of us, “ Wright declares. “ I know this is Michael trying to come back.”

Wright points out that Sonny also backs his ex: “He says, you have the best instincts I know,and if you feel like something’s going on, I’m going to go with you on this.”

Jax flies in Dr. Ingrid Hensen,the specialist who developed an experimental surgery designed to trigger brain function. However, Dr. Hensen’s prognosis is grim. “She says all of his findings are correct-Michael is in a permanent coma.So she can’t guarantee anything. Carly’s like, “I don’t need a guarantee.I just want a chance.”

It’s not much of one. Carly learns that two out of a total of 10 patients who underwent the surgery actually died. “But Carly says, “Is what he’s doing right now living?”recounts Wright. “Do I risk his life to give him a life,or do we keep things as they are?”Carly [visits] Michael, going “What do I do? Give me a sign!”
