After he exited from their house, he was shown clutching his chest and suffering from a possible heart attack and taking his prescribed pills.

This upcoming week, Sonny's health crisis will be revealed amidst the turmoil his family and he had been facing after Michael's hospitalization. He had previously suffered a major heart attack and this could possibly be another one, leading him to be hospitalized as well. The upcoming episodes will shed further light on what happens to Sonny and how he copes with his situation.


3) Drew's major decision affects his relationship with Willow and their family and future together
