As Sami gets ready in the bride's room, she frets about marrying Lucas with a secret hanging over her head. Marlena finally convinces her to unburden herself to Lucas, but when Sami starts to tell him the truth, he stops her. He doesn't need a confession from her. Nothing she can say will change his feelings about her. Lucas exits, still in the dark, and the wedding begins. When the priest reaches the part of the ceremony where he asks, "if there's anyone here who objects to this union, speak now or hold your peace," Sami looks out at the guests -- and her eye catches both Kate and E.J. at the back of the church.

E.J. pays off two thugs to do an unspoken deed for him. Meanwhile, Steve and Kayla are holed up in a hotel room. Steve has spent a rough night with a deprogrammer but progress has obviously been made since he is able to connect to Kayla once again, kissing her and asking her to make love. But before they can, there's a knock on the door. Kayla thinks it's the deprogrammer returning, but she's told it's "room service." It turns out to be E.J.'s thugs -- who attempt to break the door down.

Willow lets Billie in on her theory -- that Nick stole the hairbrush from the hospital lab that was found at the scene of the arson fire. Willow contends that Nick swiped the brush because it belongs to Chelsea. Billie questions Chelsea about this. Chelsea covers, saying Willow is lying.

At the church, Nick tells Stephanie he and Chelsea have broken up. She flirts with him -- and also with Max, asking the two men to be her dates for the wedding.

Shawn contacts Bo and tells him about Philip showing up on the island and taking Claire. After a tender good-bye between Bo and Hope, he leaves for Tinda Lau, intent on helping his son get his daughter back.

E.J. walks into Sami and Lucas' wedding and for a moment, it looks like he's going to stop it. But he doesn't, much to Kate's horror and Sami's relief. Sami and Lucas are pronounced man and wife!

Later, Kate confronts E.J. about why he didn't stop the wedding, and he says he left that up to her, at the reception. Everyone heads over to Chez Rouge, where everything goes wonderfully until Marlena presents Sami with a wedding gift: a video of photos of her and Lucas over the years. As the video plays, the speeding ticket photo of Sami and E.J. pops up. The room is stunned. Kate points the finger at Sami, accusing her of helping E.J. escape the night he shot John! A devastated Sami sinks to the ground, begging Lucas to hear her out, swearing to her family they don't know the whole story.

Steve and Kayla are attacked by the thugs. Although they try to fight them off, E.J.'s men manage to knock Steve out and race off with him. Kayla calls Roman, who leaves the wedding and goes to the hotel. He promises Kayla they'll get the goods on E.J., but she won't wait anymore. She sends Roman back to the wedding. Taking matters into her own hands, Kayla steals a cordless drill and heads off to E.J.'s apartment. E.J., meanwhile, meets with Steve in the warehouse about his next assignment. Steve learns he's going to Tinda Lau to stop Shawn from signing the papers against E.J., and then he's ordered to kill Bo!

Billie confronts Nick over whether or not he stole the hairbrush. Nick dodges the question. In the car ride from the church to the reception, Stephanie and Chelsea decide to show Nick a little something about living life to the fullest. Chelsea drives down a long stretch of road, while Stephanie leans out of the sun roof. But when the cops pull them over, Chelsea slams on the brakes and Stephanie flies out of the car into the street!

Sami is stunned when Lucas is on her side, saying that E.J. raped her. Lucas can't understand why Sami didn't tell him what was going on. Sami confesses she thought Lucas would walk out on her. Lucas realizes her fear came from years of him doing just that and he apologizes. Sami gives Lucas the option of leaving if the baby turns out to be E.J.'s. Lucas won't even consider it. The baby is also Sami's and that's enough reason for him to love it.

Nick leaves Chelsea inside the church to speak with Willow, who claims she has nowhere to stay and manipulates him into giving her money. Once Nick goes back inside, Chelsea admits she loves him, too, and Nick promises not to mess things up again.
