You are right, as far as we know in the Aiden's path Sophia is still unaware about Cathy's invitation.If you go on Aiden's third task then the invite to Cathy's happens after Sophia leaves, so there absolutely are ways that Sophia doesn't know about it. To my memory Sophia hasn't had any contact with Liam after the bridal shop and I don't recall her ever communicating the concert to Liam. That Sophia is on board with the evening Cathy/Andy visit if she doesn't go on Aiden's 3rd task (and stays at the bridal shop) is immaterial, or should be if the paths are to be truly divergent.
I envision, most probably, Liam will simply assume she is readily available for him at a moment's notice, especially on a weekday evening, and that she would have no objections. IMHO that's a totally Liam move - completely oblivious to how that type of assumption would be interpreted by his wife and totally incapable of respecting her independence and autonomy. Similar to what @hzjujk proposed, I could totally see Liam calling Sophia and telling her it's time to go to Cathy/Andy's place and she's completely unaware, gets into a bit of a "WTF Liam!" mood, which could nudge her even more towards giving into temptation as a way of getting back at Liam. This could be especially true if FW is really high and GW is really low, and would be a reward to players who have intentionally pursued such an unbalanced scorecard.
Not making a prediction here, just laying out a plausible scenario.
I think that the call can happen anyway regardless the path, just with slight differences.
Whatever happens after the concert (the drive home, the scenic detour, a walk on the beach etc...) Liam's call could be what brings Sophia back to reality during the intimate moment with Sam, again whatever that is (I'd say from first base to second max, or a very light third base, à la Tyler .
In one case, Aiden's path, Liam being Liam will ask the unaware Sophia to hurry up followed, as you said, by the WTF moment by Sophia (but IMO not with option to getting back at Liam).
In the other case Liam's call would just about having her whereabouts.
This "interrupting" device has been used a lot in the game in many situations (at the club, in the shower to name some), so it is likely to come back.
Sorry, I don't understand why Sam's route would close if she stays. Would you mind explain?One more thought at the end of the Sam event. If Sophia doesn't know about Cathy's invitation, then Liam's call could end the event or Sophia lies and stays with Sam. But when you finish meeting Sam, the Sam route closes.
