like Willow. Ava is flawed and that's what makes her interesting. For me, it's totally out of character for Ava to be open to being a Sonny's mob moll. For no other reason than she has Avery who she is fiercely protective of. To be with Sonny means a life with bulletproof glass and armed guards everywhere you go. On some level might she miss that world? Very slim chance, but she hasn't given even a hint to wanting back into it fulltime.
As much as I have been adamant that she would never be in cahoots with Valentin--especially messing with his meds, I'd sooner see her jump on the couch like Tom Cruise and admit to it than skip happily into that life again. She has grown and is not that person anymore.
