No one believed Kate's story that Sami and E.J. were together and that resulted in all of Kate's children turning against her and blaming her for all the bad turns in their lives.

Sami and Lucas said "I do," but E.J. and Kate planted their bombshell to expose Sami at the reception. However, it backfired as Lucas stood by his new bride. Sami came clean with Lucas and revealed that E.J. raped her and that E.J. might be the father of her baby, but Lucas proclaimed that Sami was his soulmate and that he loved he-and somehow they would be a happy family.

Chelsea didn't see stars after becoming intimate with Nick, and later unknowingly ignored his predicament and enjoyed her first Las Vegas run, Jett, and the excitement of the moment.

July 9 to 13, 2007
Bo and Hope traveled to Ireland to find Shawn Sr. after he left over the emotions being relived regarding Colleen's death. E.J. tipped Roman off that Tony was going to take Sami's babies to save Stefano, and warned Sami and Lucas to leave the safe house. Nick told Chelsea that Kate was blackmailing him again over the hairbrush and was upset that Chelsea seemed to not care about their relationship but was instead concerned about Jett's feelings. Chelsea told Max, Jett, and Stephanie that she didn't trust Jeremy, unaware that Max learned that Jeremy was involved in some kind of sex trade and more. Anna told Roman that Tony was an imposter after she decided to kiss him and was convinced she was kissing another man. Roman believed his ex-wife and alerted Marlena, but his interest in Anna continued to get under his skin. Steve and John saved E.J. after he risked his life to save Sami and the babies, but Lucas was still non-forgiving over the rape and Sami's willingness to think about forgiving him. Kayla "teased" Steve about having another child while babysitting for Bo and Hope. Shawn Sr. told Bo and Hope that he was the person responsible for Colleen's death in that he "killed Colleen" and had decided to return to the U.S. and leave things alone.
July 16 to 20, 2007
The translated letters of the past recalled more about the forbidden romance of Colleen and Santo. Roman showed Sami an old photo of Santo, who just happened to be E.J.'s double. E.J. and Lucas called a truce for the sake of the babies. Stefano pressured Shawn Sr. to reveal how he was the one who murdered Colleen, which led to a shocked Brady family. John, Marlena, and Anna had a bittersweet reunion with the real Tony who had decided to return to Salem to deliver justice to Stefano. Shawn was mum about his trip to visit with Mimi. Meanwhile, Philip asked Bo for help in finding out who was calling him becaue the voice on the other end of the line was the sound of a baby crying and claiming abandonment. Chelsea and Nick's romance was on a downward spiral. Chelsea and Jett grew closer after she leveled with him and told him that his fiancée was cheating on him. Jett's real identity was intriguing, as he asked Max to team with him to get the goods on Jeremy. Nick discovered a beeping basket of flowers in front of Sami and Lucas's door, left by Dr. Rolf, just as he was about to reveal new results of Sami's amniocentesis.
July 23 to 27, 2007
More information about Colleen and Santo's attraction was revealed. Max was determined to find out Jeremy's secrets about the scam he was running, but it was beginning to look more and more like he was a high-priced pimp running girls to high rollers in Vegas. Nick was hurt in the explosion meant for Lucas and Sami, and then couldn't remember what he wanted to tell them about the DNA test. Nick's personality went over the edge due to his head injury and he jumped on a plane to Vegas to propose to Chelsea, only to find her caught up in a comprising position with Jett. Nick won big in Vegas and set up a sting to try to win Chelsea over after she turned down his marriage proposal. Shawn proposed to Belle, and Belle proposed to Shawn, but even when questioned, Shawn continued to lie about Mimi's phone call and his trip to Indianapolis, the same place Philip was receiving anonymous calls from that claimed he deserted his child. Roman didn't want to admit that he was jealous of Tony and Anna's romantic reunion.

Shawn and Belle proceeded with their plans to marry. Nick turned the tables on Kate at significant personal risk to himself and his future career and relationship with Chelsea. Chelsea learned that Jett and Danielle were undercover cops and agents trying to bust Jeremy. Stephanie moved out of the house after Steve revealed Jeremy's bad side to her and told her that he was no good, and advised her to stay away from him. Andre and Tony's duel to obtain the key to the Brady/DiMera feud ended in the tragic death of Bart, who swallowed the key and died before he was able to reveal its whereabouts.

Nick and Chelsea were about to make up when China Lee arrived from Vegas claiming to be Nick's wife! Bo and Hope headed off to Ireland in search of a church tabernacle that they hoped would be opened with Stefano's gold "key" that was the means to end the Brady/DiMera feud.

Philip learned that Shawn knew about his baby and vowed his friendship was over with Belle and Shawn as a result. Max and Stephanie reconnected behind Jeremy's back. China Lee let Nick off the hook over their "arranged" marriage but then stuck the good guy with her two kids. E.J. taunted Lucas that Kate and Stefano were an item and that's where she got the money to keep going while the SEC tied up Mythic's funds. Kayla and Steve's foster care brought back lots of memories of Stephanie and the fact that Steve missed out on so much of her life. Steve and Stephanie mended their fences. E.J. proposed a way to end the feud by Sami and Lucas would have to partner in with him.
August 20 to 24, 2007
The saga of Colleen and Santo continued through flashbacks as their passion reached a boiling point, and the Brady's waited for more letters to be translated. Lucas and Sami forced Kate to help them get the folio from Andre after they learned that she and Stefano were literally "in bed together" so she could get enough money to bail her out of debt over the Mythic scandal. Nick ended up with China Lee's sons after she landed in jail, and Chelsea dumped Nick as she watched his life spiral out of control because of China, and found comfort in Jett's arms. Jeremy's actions caught up with him and Max and Stephanie wondered about their infatuation with each other. Stefano's condition worsened and E.J. agreed to become a liver donor to save him, mostly due to Sami's persuasion.
August 27 to 31, 2007

Max told Shawn he was going to lose his business and that Shawn had no job, prompting Shawn to look at other career alternatives. Philip asked Belle to help him find his son. Sami, Lucas, and E.J. were caught in Andre's reign of terror. Lucas saved E.J.'s life, against his better judgment.

The passionate love story of Colleen and Santo continued with his proposal of marriage.

Billie told Nick she couldn't find any parentage on the children -- like they didn't exist. Chelsea asked Billie to find Jett a job. Shawn recovered from his wounds and urged a torn Belle to go help Philip find Tyler. After rushing Pocket to the hospital with a high fever, Steve learned that Pocket might have been poisoned. Sami was conflicted about her love for Lucas and connection to E.J. over their sordid family past. Kayla forced Stephanie to turn in Jeremy, while Jeremy played the guilt card on Stephanie, blaming her for breaking up their relationship over Max. Stephanie told Kayla that she was moving out for her mother turning her back on Jeremy. Andre got the better of Steve and wounded him in a scuffle while trying to help Bo capture him.

DECEMBER 2007
December 3 to 7, 2007
Sami continued to struggle over her feelings for E.J. as Johnny's father and her true love for Lucas. Tony seemed to get through to E.J by warning him to limit Stefano's access to and control of his son. Sami and Lucas couldn't fight their feelings for each other and succumbed to their passions just as E.J. arrived at their doorstep fully aware of what had just happened. Chelsea's plan to get back at Ford with the help of her sorority sisters backfired big time as Ford caught on to their plan and, when the girls tried to help Chelsea get away from him, he stumbled and fell to his death. Max helped Stephanie cover up Ford's death. Bo and Hope became suspicious of Lucas' role in E.J.'s shooting.

E.J. bugged Lucas and Sami's apartment and then intercepted the package that was delivered to Lucas. E.J. kept his ability to walk a secret from everyone.

Chelsea, Stephanie, and all the sorority women continued to keep secret Ford's accidental death and subsequent burial in their basement.

Stephanie saved Cordy from a suicide attempt and decided to come clean and share with her that Ford had raped her as well. Lucas found himself in big trouble after Bo discovered his gun-and that he was at the church the night of the shooting. They awaited forensics to confirm if Lucas was E.J.'s shooter. Nick was confused over Chelsea's behavior and asked Max for help, unaware that he was the only one who did not know of Ford's demise. Philip negotiated a deal for Kate's role in E.J's shooting by blackmailing the DA, with the end result that Marlena and Kate were only assigned to community service. Bo and Hope were livid when they learned that Philip had set up Shawn's "collar" to impress Belle. Hope and Belle were at odds over Belle's continued relationship with Philip, as Shawn remained in the dark about Belle's premarital one-night stand with Philip. Chloe set her sights on rekindling a relationship with Philip, much to Belle's dismay. E.J. tried to control Sami to save Lucas, but Sami wasn't buying it. Marlena asked Roman to investigate the picture that Hope found of John's "real" mother, who appeared to not be Daphne DiMera. Stefano prepared a new pawn to join the DiMera ranks.

Stefano's new "houseguest" puzzled E.J. and then caused more havoc after escaping from the DiMera house. Belle said "goodbye" to Philip once and for all, but didn't like that he and Chloe were getting closer. Roman and Marlena questioned Chloe regarding Brady's disappearance. Stephanie confided in Kayla about her rape, but the trauma of the incidents lingered on as Ford's father was determined to prove that Ford was a victim of foul play-and pointed the finger at Chelsea and company. Max covered up Ford's body and crime again to protect the sorority sisters. Marlena told Hope about "John's presence," and both were determined to investigate.
