JANUARY 2007
January 1 to 5, 2007
Bianca couldn't get past Zarf's deception. She was convinced that Zarf, who referred to himself as Zoe when dressed as a woman, was only doing so as an attempt to seduce her. Zoe tried to tell Bianca what life was like being a girl trapped in a boy's body while growing up. Bianca heard the story of someone who decided to have transition surgery. Zach opened up to Kendall about his past, specifically his mother and the events surrounding her death when he was just five years old. He explained the similarities between Erin and Simone's deaths and his mother, Amelia's, death. Josh and Babe kissed. Furious with Jack's deception, Erica pulled Jeff into a passionate kiss in front of Jack.
January 8 to 12, 2007
Zarf vowed never to bring Zoe out after the reaction from everyone. Dani fell prey to the serial killer. Luckily Josh and Babe arrived in time to have her rushed to the hospital. She was alive but in critical condition. Zarf was immediately suspected and a search of his rooms uncovered an unknown drug. Zarf was outraged when confronted with the evidence. Babe was the only person to speak up in his defense. JR questioned Dixie about the secret that Colby claimed Dixie was keeping. Dixie evaded the question by announcing that it was time for her to move out. Annie talked to Jonathan about the rage he had been feeling since Erin's death.
January 15 to 19, 2007
Zach started going through all of the boxes at the storage unit after seeing the painting the killer left for him. Zach talked out loud, asking the killer what he wanted from Zach, as a camera recorded his every move. As the killer looked on from a secret room, Zach pulled out a batch of love letters written to his mother from her secret lover "R." Zach wondered if the killer blamed him for Amelia's death. After Joe warned him not to pressure Dani, Derek gently asked his daughter if she could recall what she saw before she passed out. She slowly told him that what she thought she saw was a man. She managed to elaborate far enough to tell them that the hand she saw was encased in a glove, and that she remembered a bird swooping down toward her face.
January 22 to 26, 2007
Babe's decision to draw up a will worried Krystal. Ryan and Josh drugged Zach to get some answers. They got more than they bargained for. Under the influence, Zach revealed the truth about Emma to Ryan, and told Josh that he knew Tad had buried Greg Madden in an effort to force him to reveal Kate's whereabouts. He went on to say that Greg's death was never Tad's intention. Josh kept the information to himself for a while, but a confrontation with Jamie had him rethinking his decision. Ryan was furious when Kendall justified keeping the truth about his daughter from him. Some began to suspect that the killer was none other than David Hayward. A plan was set in motion to catch the killer, but would it be in time? Dixie began to have difficulty swallowing.
January 29 to February 2, 2007
he Satin Slayer claimed Dixie's life. Before she succumbed to the poison, Dixie told JR about Krystal's secret. In a touching scene, Dixie's spirit saw her daughter, Kate, for the first time as Tad joined Julia and Kathy in the park. As Tad held the little girl, she saw Dixie over his shoulder and waved. Dixie blew her daughter a kiss, and her eyes filled with tears of joy. Determined to draw out the killer, Zach and Kendall decided to throw a party reminiscent of the one thrown years earlier when Zach's mother, Amelia, had died. JR was determined to be there when the killer was caught, so he attended the party along with Babe.

FEBRUARY 2007
February 5 to 9, 2007
Babe kissed Josh. After the kiss, Josh realized that Babe had moved on and stepped aside so that she could focus on her marriage. Unfortunately, it was too late. JR and Jamie witnessed the kiss. JR waited until he got home and ended their marriage. He threatened to expose Krystal's secret if Babe didn't sign over custody of their son and quietly go away. Babe had other ideas and enlisted Zoe's help to blackmail JR. JR arrived home in time to hear Adam and Krystal declare their new commitment to be open and honest about everything. JR decided the time was right to help them achieve truthful bliss. A visit with a lucid Janet left Jamie and Amanda wondering if the Satin Slayer could be Ethan's mother. Zach, Tad, and Ryan received a note from the Satin Slayer and decided to set a trap. Had the Satin Slayer struck again? Babe was attacked in the parking lot. As she struggled with her attacker, the attacker tried to inject her with a needle filled with an unknown substance.
February 12 to 16, 2007
Bianca was less than pleased when she stopped by Erica's room and found Jeff and her mother in a compromising position. Kendall made the heartbreaking decision to allow Ryan to take Spike until the Satin Slayer was caught. Zoe and her bodyguard were too late when they heard Babe cry out in the parking garage for help. They arrived to find her unconscious. Babe was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead after life-saving measures failed. Josh rushed home, packed, and left town despite Erica's pleas to stay and allow his family to help him through the tragedy. Krystal was brought to her knees; her grief was so profound. Later, after Krystal learned about Babe's last hours, she confronted JR. She demanded that he leave the house but not with his son. JR, himself rocked by Babe's death, talked to her. Privately, he told her that he knew that Tad was the father of her baby and promised her that he would not tell Adam. He felt that Krystal had lost too much and refused to put her through any more heartache. They reached an understanding. At Dixie and Babe's funeral, friends and family lined up to give touching eulogies for both women. Elsewhere, Babe slowly woke up.
February 19 to 23, 2007
Derek had his doubts that Zoe was the latest victim of the Satin Slayer. He pointed out that Zoe had escaped without being injected with a needle, and there were no signs of the gardenia or satin ribbon. Zoe remembered that her attacker had spit on her. Jack pushed for Derek to test the DNA, but Derek classified the attack as an assault. Later, he returned and silently collected the clothing to be tested for DNA. JR and Krystal continued to mourn for Babe. Babe woke up in a hospital bed, with Kendall and Josh at her side. They were able to convince Babe that she was in the hospital. Zach returned from the funeral and gave Josh and Kendall an update. Kendall had her doubts about what they were doing. Kendall was worried about how Babe's death was affecting Krystal. Josh reminded her that Zach's plan was the best chance they had of keeping Babe alive. The search for answers led Zach to his father's grave. Zach and Kendall received a surprise when, upon opening the casket, all they found were rocks and a note that read, "My son was dead and is alive again, was lost and is found." In Las Vegas, a tearful Kendall sent Zach to his rendezvous. Arriving at the warehouse, Zach kicked in the door with his gun drawn and was hit by a blinding light that revealed...his mother!
February 26 to March 2, 2007
Erica followed Jeff to the casino and managed to make her way to where Babe was being hidden. She was furious that Jeff and Josh made Kendall a target. Her fury turned to worry when she learned that Kendall was in on the decision. Kendall called Ryan, worried that Zach hadn't returned to the hotel. Ryan told her to hold tight as he, Tad, Jamie, Aidan, and JR made their way to Las Vegas. Zach was rendered unconscious by his father, Alexander Cambias. The woman Zach believed to be his mother was actually a double who was hired by Alex. He killed her when she raised objections. Kendall was eventually lured to the warehouse. Alexander quickly whisked her away to a replica of her house. By the time Zach arrived, Alexander had Kendall dressed in a gown like Amelia wore with an injection of poison secured to her neck. The device was attached to a detonator that Alex was holding. If he depressed it, the detonator would trigger the injection and Kendall would die in moments. He pushed Zach past his breaking point when he forced him to his knees begging for his father's forgiveness. Zach attacked Alex, trying to wrench the detonator away without depressing the button as Kendall cried out.

Zarf took the first real steps of becoming Zoe when he attended a transgender support group. Alexander Cambias was arrested for the Satin Slayer murders. Kendall was unharmed thanks to Zach's heroics. Kendall learned that she was pregnant with Zach's baby. She shared the happy news with Bianca but was unable to find the right time to tell Zach. Erica was shaken by JR's sincerity during one of their support group meetings. Krystal and little Adam were reunited with Babe, but their happiness was short-lived. Josh suggested to Babe that she remain dead to the world, snatch little Adam, and run away with Josh to start a new life. Babe was initially reluctant, but the certainty that she and JR would always be at odds convinced her to take Josh up on his suggestion. Erica overheard them discussing the details of their plan and decided to save Josh from himself. She found JR and told him the truth, that Babe was alive.
March 12 to 16, 2007
Josh's determination to get Babe away from JR had him pushing Krystal to reveal her secret to Adam. He told Krystal that as long as there was a secret, JR would have a hold on Babe, and Babe would do whatever it took to protect her mother, even at the cost of her own happiness. Adam also pressured Krystal, reminding her of their love and vowing that nothing could destroy that. Krystal slowly told Adam about her night with Tad. JR stopped Krystal from telling Adam the truth about the baby's paternity. Adam accused JR of betraying him to further his own agenda. Ryan proposed to Annie. Later, when he romanced her, Annie started to believe his feelings for her were genuine. She had second thoughts when she learned that Jonathan had told Ryan about her feelings for him. Tad resented Julia's attempts to replace Kate with Kathy. Sean and Colby lamented their dysfunctional families. Josh interrupted an intimate moment between Bianca and Zoe.
March 19 to 23, 2007
The truth about Krystal's baby was finally revealed. Adam was furious and determined to divorce Krystal. Krystal was equally determined to save her marriage, convinced that their love would see them through the crisis. Babe insisted that she would go through with her own divorce from JR. However, as events unfolded, her resolve appeared to weaken as JR continued to be supportive of Krystal. Tad moved in to the Chandler mansion. A talk with Lily gave Zach some clarity. Barbara crashed Miranda's birthday party, much to Erica's ire. Bianca continued to be drawn to Zoe. Annie had a difficult time trusting Ryan's feelings for her.
March 26 to 30, 2007
A mystery woman's identity was revealed: she was Ethan's mother, Hannah. She promised Zach she had no ill will towards him and went on to explain that she had actually come to town at the request of Cambias Industries for a job interview. Zoe's mother payed him a visit. She expressed her love but couldn't support Zoe's decision to live as a woman. Jack and Erica proceeded with their divorce. Barbara took advantage of the situation and seduced Jack into bed. Erica found them later, in bed on the yacht. Adam's antics landed him in the same sanitarium as Janet. Janet was amused by Adam's predicament. Hanna paid Alexander a visit and talked about the past. She didn't regret giving her son up for adoption because it spared him from turning out like his grandfather. Annie accepted Ryan's proposal. Derek announced that Janet had escaped from the sanitarium. Adam found himself on the losing end of a vote. Having spent the night, the sun illuminated the room where Jack and Barbara lay sleeping. They were soon awakened by a visit from Erica, dressed as a French maid delivering breakfast in bed. Back at the Montgomery homestead, Sean woke up to find Lily gone. In Philadelphia, Aidan wrapped up his stakeout and prepared to leave when he was approached by a woman bearing a striking resemblance to Lily. Adam brought home his new son-Josh!

At Marj's request to explain what brought Zoe to that point in a way that Marj could understand, Zoe opened up. At the end, with Zoe in tears, Marj embraced her daughter and referred to her for the first time as Zoe. Ava had no interest in meeting her half-sister, Lily. Aidan returned home to find Lily having a completely different reaction. Lily had always felt alone in the world without a biological connection. Meeting her half-sister was important to Lily.

Amanda got a glimpse of Jamie's wealth. Tad went to great lengths to force Krystal to leave Adam. Babe and JR decided it was time to tell their son about the divorce. Adam managed to escape.

April 16 to 20, 2007
Ryan told Annie that his chances were very good of fathering more children if he had the vasectomy reversed. Annie was touched by the offer. She asked him to formally adopt Emma so that if anything should happen to her, Emma would automatically go to Ryan. After hearing Zoe's demo of a song, Erica offered Zoe the opportunity to perform it on her show. Zoe accepted. Bianca surprised everyone when she announced plans to join Zoe when she left for London to work on her next album. Alexander's hearing went in his favor. Despite the judge's firm belief that Alexander was faking his mental condition, he had no other choice but to remand him to a sanitarium. There was nothing to prove that Alexander was faking his condition. Amanda was blackmailed into helping Adam. He demanded that she give him something he could use against Jamie or Tad. She gave him a box of Kathy's things, telling him that Jamie said it was important. Adam pretended to be Stuart when he visited Jenny. He kidnapped the baby and made arrangements to adopt her out on the black market.
April 23 to 27, 2007
As Jenny's adoption moved forward, everyone tried to force Adam to reveal her whereabouts. Amanda came clean to everyone about Adam blackmailing her. Concern grew as everyone realized that Adam was in cahoots with Janet and that she had the baby. Krystal resorted to desperate measures to find her daughter. She threatened to shoot Adam if he didn't take her to Jenny. Colby interceded on his behalf, placing herself in front of her father. Alexander Cambias was shot by an unknown gunman. Annie confided to Ryan that she was concerned about Jonathan after seeing him lurking in the hallways at all hours of the night. The adoptive parents arrived to pick up Jenny. Janet was reluctant to give the baby up. She swept Jenny up and told the couple she was just going to change the baby before they took her home. Tad, Jamie, and Amanda arrived minutes after Janet managed to slip out a back room with the baby. Zoe and Bianca bade farewell to Pine Valley.
April 30 to May 4, 2007
As Janet slipped further and further into a delusional state, everyone scrambled to find her. Desperate to force Adam to lead him to Jenny, Tad handcuffed himself to Adam. They remained that way until Adam received a call from Janet. Janet found Amanda in a moonlit courtyard and managed to knock her out and bring her back to the warehouse. When Amanda woke up, she found Jenny. She quickly realized she didn't have a cell phone, and she and Jenny were locked in with Janet nowhere to be seen. Janet showed up at Krystal's. She prattled on about random things, intertwining them with notes about the baby until Tad arrived. Janet told them to settle in for a lengthy interview process to determine their fitness as parents. Jonathan became increasingly frustrated with Ava after finding her with Lily's credit card. Ava noticed Sean's attraction to her and took delight in teasing him. Ryan and Annie happily moved ahead with their wedding plans, unaware that Greenlee was about to contact Ryan.

She did, however, succeed in breaking up the reception by having Ryan arrested for bigamy.
May 14 to 18, 2007
Erica and Jack continued to play their games. When Jack showed up at the Yacht Club with Barbara and cameras in tow, Erica capitalized on Tad's timely arrival. Ava used Jonathan's feelings for Lily against him. She taunted him, telling him that he could never have the kind of relationship with Lily that a normal man would want. She then slipped into her Lily impersonation and realized that Jonathan was mesmerized. Against his better judgment, Jonathan kissed Ava. Horrified by his actions, Jonathan tore himself away from Ava and warned her to never touch him again. Later, Sean tried to break off their sexual relationship, telling Ava he'd rather just be friends. Ava seduced Sean into changing his mind. They were caught in the act when Erica, Jack, and the cameras walked into the living room. Ryan and Greenlee had a heart-to-heart talk. Greenlee confessed that she sent him the divorce papers not because she wanted him to sign them, but because she wanted him to find her and fight for their marriage. Hannah tendered her resignation. Not even the thought of Zach poised to take over Chandler Enterprises seemed to tempt her. Later, she longingly looked at Zach and his family.
May 21 to 25, 2007
Annie told Kendall that after Ryan and Greenlee's divorce, she and Ryan legally wed. Greenlee refused to accept that Ryan had moved on with Annie.

Ava refused until Lily returned home and told her family about a frightening encounter with a man demanding money from her. Jack and Sean quickly realized it was Ava's drug supplier.

Lily was uncomfortable when she witnessed a kiss between Jonathan and Ava. Ava and Jonathan worried about hurting Lily after they made love. Jonathan told Lily the truth when she asked him if he and Ava slept together. She had difficulty dealing with the admission. Ava was thrilled when she was asked to be Fusion's model.

Zach and Ryan raced to find a way to get back home when they got word of Kendall's condition. Amanda offered JR a place to stay at Wildwind when he announced that he quit his job with Chandler Enterprises and gave his father his shares. Adam had never felt more alone in his life. Ava shared some difficult truths about Adam with Colby. Tad talked to Colby about Liza. Colby found herself identifying with Ava. Driving behind Babe and Kendall, Greenlee realized that she had a perfect opportunity to claim what should have been hers. She told Spike there was only one way to make things right. She slowed down and turned the car around, driving off in the opposite direction of Kendall and Babe.
July 23 to 27, 2007
Ava bought some drugs and nearly drowned. Adam was on hand to save her. Adam bristled when Krystal reached out to him. He pushed her away, clinging to his anger with tight fists. Kendall's premature labor was stopped, but only temporarily. She went back into labor when she learned that Greenlee kidnapped Spike. Greenlee came to her senses and decided to take Spike back to Pine Valley. Unfortunately, she crashed her car.

Ryan and Kendall were devastated when Joe informed them that Spike was deaf. They hoped that surgery could help him. Aidan intervened when he found Greenlee lurking in the hospital. Aidan forced Greenlee to look at the damage that she had caused. Kendall's reluctance to get close to Ian stemmed from her feelings of guilt over the premature delivery.

He wondered if she even wanted to be Ian's mother. Annie appeared to have reservations about Spike living with them until Kendall got back on her feet.

A few of Pine Valley's residents took a moment to remember those who died on 9/11.
