Shawn brought Claire to visit Grandma and Grandpa and play with her Auntie Ciara. "She thinks Philip is her dad," a bummed Shawn confided to Hope. At the pub, Philip downplayed Claire still loving him and presented Belle with their final divorce papers. Belle was a little miffed about being divorced before 30 and wistful about how things had changed so quickly. "I'm just glad to still have you as a friend," Philip sighed. Back at Bo's, Shawn complained about his traumatized toddler running into the wrong daddy's arms. Belle talked to Philip about Shawn's insecurity (forgetting he's a Kiriakis and he'll probably use this info later) and asked Philip to help his nephew find a job. Hope gave Shawn a much-needed pep talk and suggested he, Belle and Claire move in. "I'm not sure Belle's going to go for this," he shrugged. Philip flashed his dimples and agreed to keep getting Shawn a job "our little secret." Bo and Hope encouraged Shawn to just open up to Belle. At the pub, Philip found a sales job opportunity for Shawn that would keep him on the road. Moments later, Shawn and Claire arrived. Despite Claire's desire to stay with Shawn, Belle took the tyke out to investigate Hope's presents. Alone, Shawn told a shocked Uncle Phil, "We can't stay with you anymore." Philip accused him of being all bummed over Claire running to him in Chicago.

Roman ushered Lucas and Sami into a sketchy-looking safehouse. "It's just like the Lincoln bedroom," skeeved out Sami joked. Lucas suggested they make use of the bed and she noted there were probably cameras: "We'll end up on YouTube!" Meanwhile, EJ left a worried message for "Samantha." Kate arrived at Chez DiMera, wasting no time telling him she was at a safehouse and that he could be the proud papa of twins. Lucas diverted Sami with talk of their kids' future. Sami suggested Tom and Colleen for the twins' names. The former, he liked. The latter? Not so much. Elsewhere, EJ was bursting with plans for his possible mini DiMeras. Kate snarkily suggested a house with a white picket fence. At University Hospital, Nick angsted over Sami's amnio results and handed them over to Marlena. She read the results and asked Nick to sit on the news until she had a chance to tell Sami and Lucas. Guilty Nick called Kate to let her know that he'd done her bidding and faked the report. "Break out the cigars, baby, because you are the daddy!" Kate announced to EJ. Marlena went over to the safehouse to deliver the same news. Crushed Sami went ballistic about EJ raping her and cried about protecting her children. Lucas put his misgivings aside and swore he wouldn't treat the kids any differently than he treats Will. When Roman arrived at the DiMeras, he was rocked by the revelation and furious when EJ asked to see Sami. He blasted EJ for raping his daughter and basically said, "Hell, no!" to his request.

Roman then went to Bo and Hope's to tell them Sami is having twins. "The not-so-wonderful news? Those twins, they're EJ's." Hope's immediate instinct was to put coffee on. Back at the safehouse, Sami suggested she, Lucas and Will move to Bora Bora. They snuggled, but Sami was still afraid she was going to lose her hubby. When Marlena returned to the hospital, she told an apologetic Nick that Sami and Lucas would "adjust." Guilty Nick privately resolved to "do the test for real this time." Lucas made his wife smile and assured her, "What we have is once in a lifetime." A pillow fight and giggles soon turned to passion. But back at the DiMeras, EJ was still determined to see Sami. Meanwhile, Roman admitted to Bo that he and Anna had not only had a big ol' fight...they'd had a big ol' makeup session. Naked. Back at the Brady pub, Shawn suggested Philip go abroad for a while and give him some space. "Why don't we see what Belle has to say?" Philip gleamed ominously as she returned.

Nick left Chelsea a message to call him, as all hell was breaking loose in Salem. Kate walked into the lab with Mr. Lewis from the hospital board of directors. Mr. Lewis recounted how Kate was telling him how she appreciated everything Nick had done for Sami. Kate chimed in that Nick had a bright future ahead of him. Mr. Lewis told him to keep up the good work and left. Alone, Kate ordered Nick to make sure EJ's name was on Sami's babies' paternity test or she'd reveal all about the hairbrush. Then she warned Nick not to mention this to Chelsea or anyone else.

When the Touch the Sky plane landed, Max told Chelsea he was getting out of his deal with Jeremy. Determined to keep that from happening, Jeremy asked Stephanie what Max liked. Stephanie cited fast cars, easy women and Linkin Park. After Jett left to take Stephanie and Chelsea to their hotel, Max tried to talk to Jeremy, who put him off to make a call. When Jeremy returned, he handed Max the phone number of a guy who'd set aside Linkin Park concert tickets for him. Max was ecstatic, until someone stormed in and yelled, "Freeze!" Turned out it was Jeremy's silent partner, Kye. Jeremy gave Kye the keys to the trunks, and Kye handed him a stack of cash. Jeremy handed Max his share.

Stephanie, Chelsea and Jett arrived at their hotel. Jett and Chelsea went to their room to find some pilots and flight attendants partying. Chelsea asked three girls where she could go to get some sleep. They told her the beds were taken, but she could snooze on the floor or in the bathtub. Chelsea wanted to leave, but Jett suggested they head to the hot tub. Stephanie and Jeremy joined them and started pawing each other. Chelsea left the tub party; then, returned with good news. There were cots they could crash on. Chelsea's cell rang and it was Nick, anxious to tell her about Kate. Chelsea could barely hear him and said she'd phone him in the morning. Meanwhile, Max arrived and jumped into the Jacuzzi fully dressed. Chelsea was perplexed by his 180. Max chalked it up to being in Vegas.

Bo informed Steve that Stefano found Hope. Steve stopped Bo from racing into the mansion. As Stefano reached for Hope's throat, Steve burst in and told him to get his hands off his woman. "You and Hope? You expect me to believe that?" laughed Stefano. The pair convinced him by locking lips. After Steve and Hope left, Stefano poured water on Tony. Outside, Bo and Hope embraced, as Hope noted she'd gotten what they came for. Meanwhile, Steve returned inside the mansion and replaced the spiked wine bottle. When Anna and Tony returned, Anna accused Tony of slipping her a mickey. Steve insisted the wine tasted fine. After Anna left, Tony accused Steve of being in collusion with the Bradys. Steve invited Stefano and Tony to sit down; then, revealed what the Bradys were up to. Hope had taken pictures of Colleen's letters to Santo. Stefano noted that if the truth came out about Colleen's murder, the Bradys would never recover.

Roman and Doug anxiously waited for Bo and Hope to return from their spy work, while Julie tended to Ciara. Finally, the couple arrived. Bo, Roman and Doug looked at the letters. Soon, Anna stumbled in and asked Roman to take her to bed. Roman offered to take her back to the hotel, but noted that he had work to do. "You can't possibly think I want to have sex with you!" gasped Anna, noting that she just had a night from hell with one ex and didn't want to hop in bed with the other. After Roman stormed out with Anna, Bo asked Hope if she was ready to pay up their bet. Hope claimed that she'd won, although they'd have to wait until tomorrow to find out for sure. In the interim, they got frisky, as Hope told Bo to enjoy it while he could.

The Touch the Sky debut flight took off. Chelsea and Stephanie were discussing their guys when Jett interrupted. Jett apologized to Chelsea for calling Nick a loser and offered to patch things up. His fiancée, Danielle, was coming to town. Jett suggested the four of them go on a double date, and Chelsea agreed. Meanwhile, Stephanie took a seat next to Max and thanked him for sticking up for her with Jeremy. Max said Jeremy was a bully that wouldn't stop pushing people around until someone set him straight. Stephanie insisted Max was totally wrong about Jeremy. Jeremy arrived and wondered what Max was saying about him. The two guys traded jabs, as Jeremy claimed Max had him all wrong. Chelsea came out, and Max told her he wanted out of this deal as soon as they landed. Jeremy and Stephanie canoodled in the kitchen, where he offered to make her a member of the Mile High Club if she helped him come up with a way to keep Max as a partner.

At the pub, Nick approached Billie and dropped a bombshell. "Your mom is blackmailing me," he announced, explaining how Kate wanted him to forge Sami's babies' DNA test. Kate knew Nick stole Chelsea's brush from the lab and that Roman let them both off the hook. Kate was threatening to turn them all in. Billie admitted she was the one who let the cat out of the bag. Kate arrived on cue, and Billie told her that she knew all about her blackmail scheme. Kate insisted there was no threat implied and this was all in Nick's head, although she did hope EJ was the father of Sami's twins. Billie didn't buy it and threatened to call Sami and Lucas and reveal all. Kate could lose Lucas forever. Kate buckled and told Billie they understood each other, before apologizing to Nick. When Billie slipped away, Kate hissed that Nick had made a big mistake and headed for the door. Nick chased after her as Billie wondered what happened.

Bo wired Hope for her sleuthing assignment at the DiMera mansion while Anna and Roman arrived, arguing. Anna was eager to get their caper over and done with. Meanwhile, Steve danced around the DiMera living room as Bart watched. Tony walked in and instructed Steve to disappear. He was expecting company. Stefano walked in and warned Tony to be wary of Anna. According to Steve, she'd spent time with the Bradys. Stefano urged Tony to find out what they'd discussed. Soon, Tony brought Anna in. Bart made a fool of himself, giving her a peck on the cheek; then, diving in for more. Tony ended it. Bart apologized and left, before returning with some wine. Outside, Bo finished working on Hope's wire. Hope wondered how long it would take Anna to distract Tony so she could go inside. Bo figured that if Tony reacted to Anna the way Roman did, he'd be running out the door any second. Hope begged to differ, insisting that Roman was crazy about Anna. Hope offered Bo a bet. If he was right about Roman and Anna, he could be in complete charge of their evenings for a month. If Bo lost, he'd have to change diapers, do laundry, etc. With that, Hope left to enter the mansion. Inside, Tony and Anna tangoed. Tony asked about Santo's letters, and Anna handed them to him. Then, Tony asked why Anna had been at the Brady Pub. Outside, Bo radioed Hope, who reported she was in the house. Steve snuck up on Bo and told him he'd drugged Tony's dinner wine. In a few moments, everyone would be out like a light. Indeed, Anna passed out, followed by Bart and Tony. Hope entered the living room and searched for the letters. Suddenly, she lifted a cushion and found them. She informed Bo that she'd be out as soon as she photographed them. Outside, Steve hoped this would finally prove to Bo whose side he was on. After taking her last shot, Hope put the letters back in place and prepared to leave, when Stefano emerged. "Hope! What are you up to now?" demanded Stefano, as Bo nervously listened from outside.

Kate commanded Nick to make sure Sami's amnio revealed EJ as the father — no matter what the actual results are. Nearby, Sami learned she's having twins — a girl and a boy (just like her and Eric). Nick was against fiddling with tests, but Kate noted he'd done it for Chelsea. Instead of being thrilled at her bounty, Sami was freaked out. She freaked even more when she realized the twins could have different fathers. Marlena tried to calm her as Dr. Jacobs rushed the amniotic fluid down to the lab. Sami then hit on a worse possibility: EJ could be the father of both babies. Kate gave Nick her standard "The Evils of Sami" speech. "If anyone is evil and conniving here, it's you," he gasped, as she blackmailed him into complying. Marlena urged Lucas and Sami to stay positive. Alone, Sami was worried about how much more Lucas could handle. Lucas sidestepped the question. Dr. Jacobs handed the sample over to Nick as Kate looked on. Marlena then added her own weight to Nick's shoulders by asking him to call her if the tests revealed "bad news." Lucas assured Sami, "I love you, and that's all you need to know." Sami then asked the $64,000 question: "What about the babies? Will you be able to love them?" Lucas admitted, "I'll love them because they're half yours," but reminded her that EJ would be their "real dad," and would never let them forget it. As she teared up, he assured her he'd be there for her and prayed the twins were his.

Jeremy and Max arranged their shady designer duds dealings. When Stephanie arrived on the plane ahead of schedule, Jeremy told her to "shut up" and "leave." (Mike and Robin must be so proud.) He continued to insult Stephanie. Max let it go on far too long before finally defending his ex-girlfriend and niece. However, simpering Steph didn't want defending. "What happened to you?" Max gasped when she stood by her idiot boyfriend's behavior. Jeremy brushed off his 'tude as "tough love," and noted Max treats his women like "Kleenex." Huffy Max contemplated pulling out his funding, demanding Jeremy apologize to Stephanie and "learn some manners." Naturally, Jeremy said what Max wanted to hear. EJ soon showed up with the goods and asked Jeremy what was in the trunks. Jeremy did something smart for once by not answering. When Tony arrived, EJ gave him Max's money. Big bro advised him to "stay the hell out of my business." Later, EJ tried to question Jeremy again and Max walked in. "He's a stone cold killer," Max warned Jeremy. "You must be crazy!" Party boy Jeremy assured him, "It's all under control."

Rolf hovered over Stefano like a worried mother hen as EJ sauntered in. The Phoenix then dismissed Dr. Rolf, slapped Elvis silly and chided him for lying to him! "I had faith in you, Elvis!" he sighed, citing the truth of Anna's plans in Salem. On cue, "loyal soldier" Steve strolled in with food and a beer to crow as Stefano lambasted EJ for letting Team Brady get one over on him. "I know that you have feelings for Samantha Roberts," he reasoned, as Steve supplied background comments. "The bottom line is, I don't think I can trust you anymore." If EJ didn't shape up, he would "end up with nothing." Just like any good little brother, EJ blamed Tony. Stefano wasn't convinced. EJ begged for a chance to redeem himself, so Stefano instructed him to take some trunks of "merchandise" to a private jet leaving for Vegas "within the hour." Steve wondered if the "Chief" really trusted EJ. Tony returned to Chez DiMera to complain about EJ the "turncoat" transferring his merchandise. "Let us focus on your ex-wife's treachery," Stefano suggested. Steve magnanimously offered to chill the wine for Tony's date with Anna since he was on his way back to the kitchen. Mid-complaint about that, Tony realized Stefano had zoned out (sort of dead, but yet not).

Nick was all smiles after his night with Chelsea and was anxious to go back upstairs for more. Chelsea begged off. She had to shower and get to work at Touch the Sky. Nick asked Chelsea if he'd disappointed her in bed. She said no. Nick noted that they were a couple now. Chelsea wondered if Nick had sex with her just to show Jett that he owned her. Nick insisted that wasn't the case and promised to have their apartment ready by the time Chelsea got back from Vegas. Nick left just as Stephanie, who Chelsea had summoned over, arrived. Chelsea informed her friend about her night with Nick. When Stephanie asked about Nick's performance, Chelsea retorted that Nick was sweet, gentle and enthusiastic, but she didn't feel anything. Chelsea asked if it was normal to think about other things during sex...like Nick having sex with her mom. Stephanie noted that Chelsea obviously wasn't over Nick and Billie's indiscretion. She asked if Chelsea had slept with Nick because she was into it or felt like she owed him. Chelsea admitted it was more the latter. No matter, Chelsea couldn't tell Nick and break his heart. Stephanie suggested Chelsea move on with Jett. She'd seen Chelsea looking at him, like she wanted to rip his clothes off. Chelsea pooh-poohed the whole thing, said she didn't want to hear another word about Jett, and saw Stephanie to the door.

Billie and Kate chatted about their careers. Then, the conversation turned to Sami and her claim that EJ raped her. Kate didn't buy it, since Sami was a known liar. Billie insisted Sami wouldn't lie about that. Lucas interrupted and asked to speak to Billie alone. Kate left as Lucas told Billie that Sami was getting an amnio. Lucas admitted that he wasn't keen on the prospect of possibly raising EJ's baby, even though he promised he would welcome the child. Billie suggested Lucas talk the whole thing over with Sami. Nick walked in and said hi to everyone. When Lucas and Billie turned around and saw Kate standing behind them, they scolded her for eavesdropping on their conversation. Lucas left to phone Marlena and check on Sami, while Nick told Billie that he and Chelsea were doing great. After Nick left, Billie informed Kate about Willow planting Chelsea's hairbrush at the fire at Bo and Hope's house and Nick stealing it from the lab to protect her. When Kate's ears perked up, Billie ordered her not to breathe a word to anyone. Kate swore she wouldn't. Lucas returned, reported that Sami's amnio was about to start, and left to join his wife.

At the hospital, Marlena told Sami that she didn't have to go through with the amnio, but Sami insisted she did. If she didn't prove that EJ wasn't the father of her baby, she feared losing Lucas. Surely he would hate the baby, because it would remind him of what EJ did to her. Sami went on about Stefano's offer to broker peace between the Bradys and DiMeras if she married EJ and they raised their child together. Realizing her daughter's desperation, Marlena suggested rigging the test results in Lucas' favor. Surprisingly, Sami refused. She couldn't live through another lie like that. Nick walked in bearing flowers from him and Chelsea and said he'd check on Sami later. As Nick left he bumped into Kate, who started questioning him about his work in the lab. "What do you want?" asked Nick. Kate announced that she wanted Sami's paternity test to prove EJ was her baby's father. Meanwhile, Lucas arrived in Sami's room as the amnio got underway. Suddenly, Dr. Jacobs made a startling announcement: Sami was having twins.
