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.

Roman believed his ex-wife and alerted Marlena, but his interest in Anna continued to get under his skin.

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.

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.

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.
