At the pub, Sami organizes a search for her missing father. Lucas and E.J. bicker until a fed-up Sami orders them to go put up fliers around town.

Meanwhile, Bo tracks Andre to his hideout, a "condemned" warehouse. As Bo waits for Abe's backup, Lucas and E.J. wander by with the fliers. Bo tries to warn them to leave, but Andre manages to take the two guys hostage. To ensure Bo doesn't follow, Andre throws a grenade into the warehouse and claims Roman is inside. The place explodes and Bo rushes in. When Abe arrives, Bo reveals Roman wasn't inside, but he did get his hands on the all-important leather folio.

Back at the pub, Sami warns Grandpa Shawn that if he doesn't reveal what he knows about the vendetta, Roman could die. Later, Andre shows up and demands Sami meet him later that night. No cops. She will have to decide who dies; either E.J. or Lucas.

Stephanie and Kayla are horrified when a bloody Steve shows up at the suite and passes out from his stab wound. Kayla revives him and insists he be taken to the hospital. Steve protests, saying he needs to wait in case Bo calls for help. He relents once he learns Bo is fine. While waiting for medical attention, Steve overhears Abe questioning Stephanie about giving Jeremy a place to hide. As Kayla rushes off with Steve to the hospital, Stephanie offers to stay behind and watch Pocket. Once her parents are gone, she calls Jeremy and leaves him a message, wondering where he is.

Steve and Bo are talking about the vendetta against the Bradys. Bo announced that he is going to find his pop and find out what happened as Lucas walks in looking for Sami. Bo asks Lucas about his leg but Lucas thinks Bo is avoiding something. Bo says that the folio contained information, rings and a marriage license and a letter from Santo that says when he and Colleen's souls are united then peace will finally come to the Brady family. Lucas says Sami won't marry E.J. and refuses to believe it but Bo says she is considering it. Lucas vows to stop it. Bo receives a call and has to go to the cemetery to see Shawn. Steve agrees to wait for Abe to bring evidence. Abe shows up and says that the evidence was a chauffeur's uniform and puts together that the chauffeur drove the supposed empty coffin to the graveyard. Steve and Abe both realize that Roman must be in the coffin and dash to the graveyard. They get to the graveyard and start digging with other officers. They open the casket to find Benji apparently dead.

Sami and E.J. are talking with a police officer giving their statements. She leaves and E.J. asks Sami how she found out how to end the vendetta. Sami says she got the folio but it's not good news. She hands the folio to E.J. and he finds rings. The rings were Colleens and Santos and there is also a marriage license from 50 years ago. They read the letter and realize that E.J. and Sami must be married so Santo's soul can be in peace. Sami realizes that there is no other way and agrees to marry E.J. E.J. doesn't quite believe it but Sami says she'll do it for her family. She worries about Roman and Lucas. She goes over the pain that Stefano has caused and vows to prevent more suffering. Sami says she will never love E.J. E.J. wonders if Lucas will understand but Sami says she must save her family from the terror of the DiMeras. She says the marriage wouldn't be real; they wouldn't share a bed. E.J. says he understands, but Sami accuses him of liking the idea. She wants to be sure he understands that E.J. will have a lifetime of a lonely marriage. E.J. says that as long as the vendetta will be over, he will agree. Lucas walks up and asks what decision they have made. Sami says he shouldn't be on his leg and wants to explain but Lucas says he already knows. Lucas wants her to tell the DiMeras to shove it. Sami says she doesn't know what she's going to do and wants him to understand but Lucas doesn't. Sami says they are going to go talk to Stefano and try to work something out and asks Lucas not to be angry. He says he's beyond angry and leaves. Sami and E.J. get into the car with Stefano. They tell Stefano they know the terms of the vendetta. Sami asks if Stefano intended to marry Marlena with those same rings. Stefano admits he wanted that marriage to give his father peace but realized as soon as E.J. grew that it was E.J.'s destiny. He says in time Sami will love E.J. but Sami just wants her father returned and alive. Sami agrees to marry E.J. only after Roman is returned alive and if he wants the marriage to last, the vendetta will be over. Stefano orders divorce papers to be drawn up. Sami leaves as Stefano congratulates E.J. for ending the vendetta and for getting Sami in the end but E.J. does not look happy about it.

Hope, John, Marlena, Doug and Julie are finishing the letters. The letter begins with a mention of a rocky cliff and regret. Father Mallory will not let Santo near Colleen. Gossip has spread through the town and no one will help Santo find Colleen. He decided to find the one person that could help but this is the one that also drove them apart. E.J. is at a cliff with young Shawn and says Stefano had told him that Shawn is like a brother he never had. Santo tells him about how he'd like to be a family and travel the world together. He entices him with dreams of travel but Shawn is not interested until Santo brings up the west and the cowboys and Indians. He promises to take Shawn to America but first he needs Shawn's help to get Colleen to agree to see Santo again. He wants him to talk to Colleen then he will show him the world. Hope can't believe that Santo would drag a child into this. Santo gives Shawn his gold watch for helping. Shawn says he wants Santo to leave them alone and runs off. John suspects that Santo kills Colleen. Colleen's last letter is declaring despair at leaving the church and for Santo hurting her. Colleen writes, "Thank God for little Shawn for telling me before making the biggest mistake of my life." Father Mallory in a flashback asks Colleen if the church is truly where she wants to be as Colleen agrees. Colleen regrets failing God. Colleen wants to take her vows with God again and prays for forgiveness. In the letter she insists Santo stays away from them forever. Shawn and Bo walk into the pub and he agrees to tell them all the truth about the night he killed his sister.

Shawn is walking through a graveyard cursing Stefano's name as Stefano appears out of nowhere. Stefano accuses Shawn of sweeping the past under the rug and Shawn asks where Roman is. Stefano denies knowing but Shawn thinks he is lying. Shawn wishes Stefano was dead and Stefano assures him his time is coming. Stefano reminds Shawn of when they met and realizes that the Brady's are now strong and his own family is falling apart. Stefano says that they could help each other. Stefano says that just a few words changed their families forever. They flash to the past where a young Stefano and Shawn are playing. Stefano says his mother is alive and happy, not sick or dead. Stefano didn't realize he was supposed to lie. Stefano says if he had lied they could have been raised as brothers. Stefano says that Santo was never the same after Shawn refused to help. Santo cursed the Brady's everyday after that. He says that when Colleen died, he died, too and left Stefano bitter with the loveless marriage of his mother and father. Shawn thinks it's an excuse for all the pain Stefano has caused the Brady's and accuses Stefano of murdering his sister. This angers Stefano and blames Shawn for keeping them apart when he should have kept his mouth shut. Bo arrives and attacks Stefano. Shawn tells him to let Stefano go. Stefano says he wants to make peace.

Lucas remembers his vows to Sami. Lucas vows to stop Sami from marrying E.J.
