JANUARY 2007
January 1 to 5, 2007
Monica grew increasingly uncomfortable with Lulu and Spinelli's investigation. She tried to get Dillon to separate the two. Lucky and Maxie appeared to be growing closer. Liz found Maxie's behavior odd and began to question whether she was really pregnant. Sam's first day on her job did not start well. While being questioned about why she was late, Sam revealed that she and Jason were at home having sex and trying to conceive a baby. Liz and Lucky were among those who heard Sam's announcement. Liz seemed plagued by a guilty conscience and went to talk to Jason. Carly was disturbed by Sonny's New Year's Eve kiss. Sonny asked her why it upset her so much. Lorenzo got the jump on Sonny and pulled a gun on him. Carly walked in just as Lorenzo fired the gun.
January 8 to 12, 2007
Sam was angry after she found Liz's scarf in the penthouse. She started drinking and then went to confront Liz at the hospital, ordering Liz to stay away from Jason. Epiphany stepped in to diffuse the situation. After Sam quit, she promptly got a job at ELQ as Edward's assistant, much to Tracy's ire. Tracy decided to do some digging into Sam's background. Sonny learned at the last minute that Carly no longer needed to testify against him, just as Carly decided to marry him.
January 15 to 19, 2007
A troubled Liz went to confession, hoping to find some answers. She unknowingly told Father Ruiz during the session that Jason was the father of her child and that she loved him. Sam went on another job search after Tracy forced her to quit ELQ by threatening to reveal some damning evidence of her past as Angela Monroe. Sam got a job at Metro Court after the manager learned the woman he interviewed was Jason Morgan's girlfriend. Lorenzo emerged from his coma. He warned Sonny to keep his nose out of Lorenzo's business or he and Jason might find themselves a target once again. As Sonny and Jason left the coffee shop, a sniper had Sonny in his sights until Jason stepped into the line of fire. Lucky stole some pills during a drug bust. He admitted to Liz that he was tempted to turn to his drug of choice after learning of Maxie's deception. Later, he came close to taking one of the pills he stole. Ric saw Alexis smoking a joint through a window. He immediately hired an investigator to take pictures and within a short time, had the evidence he needed. The police arrived at Alexis' home and conducted a search. They found her stash of marijuana and began to arrest her.
January 22 to 26, 2007
Nikolas finally located Helena. With Emily's help, he rescued Spencer. Upon their return to Port Charles, Nik announced that he had Spencer baptized and Emily stood up as his godmother. Friends and family gathered at Wyndemere to celebrate Spencer's return and baptism. Lucky proposed to Elizabeth over a romantic dinner at the Metro Court. Elizabeth was worried that a rejection would send Lucky into a relapse so she told him that she needed time to think about it. Lucky saw that as a promising sign. Sam made an appointment to see a doctor. After an examination, she learned that she was unable to bear children. Sonny ordered his attorney to keep the charges against him pending so that Carly remained married to him. Carly was shocked at what she overheard. The clock wound back 16 hours after Sam, dressed in black, managed to rappel down the side of a building and warn the SWAT team surrounding Metro Court that there was a bomb inside. Meanwhile Nik rushed out of the hotel carrying an unconscious Robin in his arms. As he rushed back inside to save Emily, the hotel exploded.
January 29 to February 2, 2007
Things went from bad to worse when Sam hit the silent alarm that triggered the vault to lock. Maxie and gunman number three were trapped inside. Carly informed Craig that once the vault locked it would remain locked for twelve hours. Craig was not happy, especially when the police arrived and announced that they had the hotel surrounded. He shot Robin as a message to the other hostages not to make any more foolish moves. Alan, Emily, and Liz went to Robin's aid. Alan was furious and demanded that Robin be released to have her medical needs met. He was struck from behind and rendered unconscious for his efforts. Lucky and Cruz managed to evacuate the rest of the building and were able to determine who was left inside. Lorenzo's health declined rapidly. He told Skye that a code needed to be entered into the briefcase every 24 hours or it would explode. Before he could give her the complete code to disarm the briefcase, he suffered a major seizure and was rushed into surgery.

FEBRUARY 2007
February 5 to 9, 2007
The hostage situation reached a crisis point. Emily and Carly were forced to operate on Robin in an effort to save her life. Elizabeth's expertise as a surgical nurse allowed her to sew the artery before Robin bled to death. Meanwhile, Alan seemed to suffer a cardiac crisis. Emily did everything she could to save her father but his condition was critical. The stress took its toll on Elizabeth, as well. She suffered severe cramping, indicating that she might be in labor. Craig forced Emily to make a choice of which person would be released for medical care-Alan or Elizabeth. He refused to allow Robin to be a choice.
February 12 to 16, 2007
Alan was released as a hostage. He collapsed, clutching his chest moments after stepping out of the hotel. Lucky and Luke rushed to his aid and brought him to safety. At the hospital, Monica performed life-saving surgery but the damage to Alan's heart was extensive and his prognosis was grim. She informed the family and prepared them for the worst. The Quartermaines were furious with Skye. They felt she chose protecting Lorenzo over her own family and disowned her. Spinelli managed to open the safe early. Sonny figured out the code to the briefcase when he realized that the numbers could represent letters like on a telephone. Carly held the clue, remembering that Lorenzo's first love was named Sophie-767443. He traded the numbers for Carly's release, but Carly refused to go. Jason gave Sam the signal to slip out. The hostage situation came to a climax when, moments after Craig opened the briefcase filled with slides indicating some type of biological warfare, the lights went out. Jason and Craig struggled, the hostages took cover, and the SWAT team moved in after tear gas was thrown into the lobby. Jason managed to get to Liz seconds before the hotel exploded. The fate of everyone inside was unknown.
February 19 to 23, 2007
In the aftermath of the explosion, viewers learned that everyone except a few of the gunmen were alive. Lulu had the gravest injury but was quickly rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery that stabilized her. Robin also had surgery to remove the bullet. Jason and Liz were the last two rescued. While trapped in an elevator, Elizabeth told Jason that she had promised herself if she ever made it through the crisis she would stop lying. She went on to tell Jason the truth about the baby. Jason was shocked and initially hurt that she didn't tell him sooner. Elizabeth told him what led to her keeping the secret and admitted that she made bad decisions. Jason was understanding, knowing that Liz was trying to do what was best for everyone involved. Happy that he was going to be a father and determined to put his child's needs first, Jason proposed marriage. Liz told him that she would love to marry him as much as she would love to live in Italy and win a metal for figure skating, but those were just dreams. She felt that she'd made too many choices that had pulled her away from Jason and that there was also the matter of Sam and Lucky to consider. Jason convinced Liz that it was time to tell everyone the truth. He changed his mind after they were rescued and Sam told him that she was unable to have children. Liz was equally reluctant to tell Lucky when Cruz told her that Lucky was nearly killed earlier when he confronted Craig. Believing that Liz had died, Lucky no longer had the will to live and dared Craig to shoot him. Jason left the hospital to track down Craig while Alan kept asking for his son. While Jason was in the middle of a shootout with Craig, Alan went into cardiac arrest.
February 26 to March 2, 2007
Jason was devastated when he arrived too late to Alan's bedside. He realized just how much he must have hurt his father over the years. He was plagued with guilt over all the missed opportunities when Alan reached out and Jason pushed him away. Jason took another emotional blow when Elizabeth told him that she and Lucky had decided to remarry and she would like Lucky to raise the baby as his. Jason reluctantly agreed because of the promise he made to Liz about not putting their child through a custody fight. Elizabeth appeared to be reserved as the family welcomed the happy news that she and Lucky were getting married and moving into Laura's house. Ric and Alexis were unable to reach a compromise and geared up for a nasty custody fight. Jason's loss spurred Sam into making amends with her own mother. She apologized to Alexis for sleeping with Ric. Jax had a difficult time getting past the fact that Carly and Sonny slept together. Carly insisted that Jax was the man that she loved and wanted to be with. Patrick received his HIV test results.

MARCH 2007
March 5 to 9, 2007
Alan Quartermaine was laid to rest. Tracy was livid when she learned that he had left the bulk of his estate to Jason's children, should he ever have any. Tracy enlisted Luke to help her change Alan's will, making her the primary beneficiary. Everyone knew it was a fraudulent will-including Alan-who came back to haunt Tracy. He told her that he couldn't find rest until she admitted what she had done to everyone. Carly tried to get a divorce in the Dominican Republic but was stymied with bureaucratic roadblocks. Sam's past appeared to be catching up with her. We were introduced to Amelia, a woman who seemed to know more about Sam than Sam realized.

Amelia continued to toy with Sam, who remained completely oblivious. Craig was back and terrorizing Nikolas. He injected Nikolas with a poisonous substance and threatened to withhold the antidote, which needed to be administered every 24 hours, unless Nikolas cooperated.
March 19 to 23, 2007
As Liz and Lucky's wedding neared, Jason had fantasies of telling Lucky about the baby. Lulu was conflicted about telling her brother the truth about the baby, but in the end kept quiet out of fear that Lucky would relapse. Nik tried to push those he loved away in an attempt to keep them out of harm's way, while Craig forced Nik to do his bidding. Maxie, Cooper, and Logan continued blackmailing Scotty. Robin decided that moving in with Patrick would do more harm than good to their relationship. Patrick didn't share the same opinion but was forced to respect Robin's decision or risk losing her entirely. Carly slept with Jax, which only complicated things further.

April 2 to 6, 2007
Carly continued bouncing back and forth between Sonny and Jax. She tried to enlist Jason's help but he refused to get further involved. Michael paid Sonny a visit in an effort to pressure his dad into convincing his mother to stay married and be a family. Sonny explained to Michael that it had been Sonny and Carly, and that Michael needed to respect that. Michael decided to take matters into his own hands. With Morgan's help, he arranged for Carly and Sonny to be locked in the basement of Carly's house. Alexis began to be charmed by Craig. Emily refused to believe that Nik had stopped loving her. She was more convinced than ever after she kissed him. Logan was disgusted when he learned that Cooper and Maxie's relationship had become intimate. Lorenzo decided it was time to make a move against Sonny and Jason. Jason was haunted by his decision to let Lucky raise his child. Lulu and Spinelli pressured him to claim his rights.

Sonny relented and signed the divorce papers after Carly told him that she had accepted Jax's proposal. Carly filed the papers immediately and announced that she and Jax would be marrying on Friday. Sonny was devastated by the news and was tempted to start drinking. Elizabeth told Jason that she loved him. She went on to tell him that danger was a part of his life and it wouldn't be fair to him to expect him to change for her or for the baby. Not wanting to make things more difficult for her, Jason offered to stay away from her. Amelia told her assistant the details of Bill Monroe's violent death at the hands of Angela. He was killed by a double-barreled shotgun blast to the chest. While Angela was claiming it was self-defense because he was abusing her, she was cleaning out the bank accounts. Amelia then revealed that she was Bill Monroe's daughter. As soon as the words left her mouth, Amelia notices a heavy light about to fall on Sam as she taped her show. She yelled out a warning, seconds before it came crashing down. Sam narrowly escaped injury. Lorenzo's partners were frustrated with his inability to kill Sonny or Jason. They decided to pay Sam a visit at the studio. Moments later, Jason entered. Gunfire erupted almost immediately.
April 23 to 27, 2007
Sonny signed the divorce papers. Carly learned that the divorce would be final on Thursday so she and Jax planned the wedding for Friday. After a couple of glitches, Jax and Carly married. Jax was disappointed that his brother Jerry was unable to attend. Jerry had a good reason. He was in hiding. It turned out he was Mr. Craig, the man who held up the Metro Court and was forcing Nikolas into helping him. Patrick and Emily finally learned the truth about Robin and Nikolas. Jason decided to go on the road for a few days. He returned in time for Carly's wedding. Jason and Liz bumped into each other at the wedding.

Jerry washed his hands of Nik and told him to put his house in order-he would not be receiving another dose of the antidote.

She managed to convince him to lift the injunction. Sam was reluctant to leave town with Amelia after Sonny ordered Jason to kill Lorenzo. Liz was home alone in the middle of a storm when she woke up in pain. She quickly realized that she was bleeding and tried to make it to the phone to call for help. The power was knocked out and the phone line was dead. She realized she had no choice but to try to make it to the hospital. She managed to get as far as the front door before she collapsed. Jason found her a short time later and rushed her to the hospital. Meanwhile Lucky pulled over Jerry/Craig. Jerry quickly put on a hat in an attempt to disguise himself. He hid his gun and a syringe with life-saving serum for Nik before Lucky approached the car. At the hospital, Nik went into cardiac arrest as Emily, Robin, and Patrick scrambled to save his life. Liz was rushed into emergency surgery. Jason watched helplessly as Liz flatlined and their baby appeared stillborn.

MAY 2007
May 7 to 11, 2007
Patrick and Robin managed to come up with an antidote for the serum Jerry used to poison Nik. Nik seemed to respond well to the drug. Unfortunately they were not quite rid of Jerry/Craig. While Nik was receiving the cure, Jerry coerced Emily into setting up a bank account in her name so that a wire transfer could be deposited. He later informed everyone that if they did not continue cooperating with him, Emily would go down with him as an enemy of the state. Skye made a deal with Sonny-she would help Sonny take Lorenzo down in exchange for Sonny holding off on the hit until she could bring Lila Rae home. Ric was curious about Jason's interest in Elizabeth. Jason wrestled with keeping his promise to Elizabeth to step forward as the baby's father if anything should happen to her. As he was about to tell Lucky the truth about the baby, Elizabeth woke up. Sam overheard Liz and Jason talking about their son.
May 14 to 18, 2007
Sam got drunk after learning that Jason was Jacob's father. She ended up telling Amelia everything, and Amelia tried to use the information to her advantage. Liz wasn't easily manipulated and turned down Amelia's offer to feature her and her son on Everyday Heroes. Emily asked Elizabeth if it was intentional that Jake has the same initials as Jason. Liz insisted that Jason was in no way inspirational in the choosing of her son's name. She loved the name Jake, and Martin was the name of her beloved grandfather who died when she was a little girl. Logan saved Sonny's life when he tipped him off that Vinny was on Lorenzo's payroll and he'd been ordered to poison Sonny's coffee. Jason hunted Craig down. He had him cornered in Carly's house, but before Jason could shoot him, Carly came out of hiding and threw herself in front of Craig. She begged Jason not to shoot her brother in-law, Jerry. Tracy and Alexis warned Luke that Scott would not hesitate to bring up the fact that Luke raped a teenaged Laura. On the set of Everyday Heroes, Sam reluctantly re-enacted the events that mirrored her past. Amelia smiled with satisfaction as Sam reached for a shotgun and aimed it at the actor's head, demanding that he leave before she shot his head off.
May 21 to 25, 2007
Amelia asked Sam why she continued to hesitate confronting Jason about his son. After Jerry/Craig took Sam, Amelia, and Spinelli temporarily hostage to make a point to Jason, Amelia pretended to be so outraged that she quit her job. She "allowed" Sam to talk her into staying on but warned Sam that she needed to seriously reconsider her relationship with Jason. Jerry/Craig decided to out himself by arranging a meeting with his brother, Nik, and Emily in the lobby of Metro Court. Marty called the police. Kate and Carly squared off over Michael and Morgan's mischief. Lorenzo returned Lila to Skye on the eve that they were supposed to leave Port Charles for good. Skye let Jason into the mansion and joined Lorenzo in the nursery with Lila. When Lorenzo stepped out of the room, Skye rocked Lila and sang her a lullaby. In the background was the thump as Lorenzo's dead body hit the floor. Later, Jason confirmed that Lorenzo had been killed and disposed of. Ric started snooping around, questioning Skye and Sonny about Lorenzo's sudden disappearance.
May 28 to June 1, 2007
Jerry managed to avoid arrest thanks to the intervention of reluctant conspirators. He wasn't quite in the clear, though. DNA tests were being done to compare his DNA to Craig's. Jerry forced Cooper to help makes sure that the tests showed that they were not a match. Logan suggested that he and Cooper set some boundaries, since Logan was working for Sonny. Ric found a hidden tape recording of Lorenzo's murder. It identified Jason as the shooter. He arranged for Lucky to make the arrest. Sam continued to have difficulty dealing with the news that Jake was Jason's son. She talked to Amelia, suggesting that if she could get Jason to tell her about Jake, then she could convince Jason to fight for custody so that she and Jason could raise him. Amelia tried to be the voice of reason, but Sam was determined that only a child could save her relationship with Jason. She visited Kelly to see what her fertility options were. Kelly suggested harvesting Sam's eggs and fertilizing them with Jason's sperm, and then having a surrogate carry the baby for them. Sam was pretty sure that Jason would not cooperate. Sam later told Amelia that by the same time the next year, she would be a mother. Sonny's games with Kate escalated, and he inadvertently hurt her deeply when he had a statue shot down. The statue was from a small town in Italy where her grandfather had grown up and worked as a sculptor.

JUNE 2007
June 4 to 8, 2007
Maxie became jealous after seeing Lulu and Cooper shared a friendly moment. She enlisted Logan's help to seduce Lulu and then dump her, to teach her a lesson. Logan was more than happy to oblige after Maxie agreed to sleep with him once he had proven that he'd bedded Lulu. The court decided Laura's fate. Guardianship was awarded to Scotty. Sam confided to Amelia that she planned on being a mother by the same time the next year. Amelia was surprised and asked her how Jason felt about the plans. Sam admitted that she would go through with her plans with or without Jason's consent. She was certain Jason would love her baby and forget all about Liz's child. Jason was arrested for Lorenzo's murder in the coffeehouse while Liz and Jake were there. Liz was furious with Lucky, feeling he handled the arrest badly. Lucky was furious with Liz for allowing a killer to hold their son. They made peace, but not for long. Lucky was not pleased when he found Liz visiting Jason at the police station. Sonny learned about Sam's past from Amelia. He realized that he might have been one of Sam's marks. Sonny visited Jason and urged him to talk to Amelia. Jason managed to get a phone and call Amelia. She was more than happy to tell all to Jason.
June 11 to 15, 2007
Sam received another blow when she was told that her eggs were barely viable and the chances for a successful in vitro procedure with a surrogate would be slim. Amelia paid Jason a visit and handed him her file on Sam. Jason was surprised but didn't accept that Sam was only with him for his money. Amelia told him that Sam knew the truth about Jake's paternity and that she planned to have a surrogate carry a child fertilized with her egg and his sperm. Patrick was uncomfortable when he saw how much Robin loved babies. He told her that he had no interest in ever becoming a father. Maxie continued to push Logan to get Lulu into bed. Lulu bailed Tracy out of jail after Scott had her arrested for aiding and abetting Luke in the kidnapping of Laura. Lucky and Liz clashed several times over her visits with Jason.

Jake was snatched out of his carriage when Liz bent down to tie Cameron's shoe.
June 18 to 22, 2007
Edward convinced Lainey to have Tracy committed. Sam went on another bender. Carly found Sam getting drunk at Metro Court and was furious. Carly accused Sam of not being supportive of Jason while he sat in jail, facing murder charges. Sam was too drunk to care and fired back, telling Carly that she was nothing more than a pawn in Jax and Sonny's game of one-upmanship. Sam then accused Carly of being in love with Jason, not Sonny or Jax. Amelia intervened before there was bloodshed between Sam and Carly. Carly was not reassured when Jax took Carly on a quick romantic trip to buy a hotel in Montreal and then left to search for Jerry. Jax's search landed him on the wrong side of a gun. Carly was hot on Jax's heels. Sam's binge landed her on Liz's doorstep where she tried to tell Liz that at least Liz had another child to make up for losing Jake. Liz threw Sam out of her home. Sam then ended up at the police station to tell Lucky the truth about Jake's paternity, but Jason's arrival stopped her. Liz was deeply hurt that Lucky suspected her of hurting her son. Tensions mounted when Jason defended Liz -- and Lucky found Liz turning to Jason for emotional support. Lucky's feelings of inadequacy resurfaced, putting even more of a strain on his marriage.
June 25 to 29, 2007
Tracy's investigator reported back to Tracy that Scotty had fathered a son in the 80s. Lulu quickly figured out that the son was actually Logan. Jerry resurfaced while Jax continued his wild goose chase. Kate was unsettled after she saw Sonny's violent side. Liz and Lucky had a heated argument about Jason. Later, Lucky and Liz appealed to Sam for help, asking if they could tape a plea to the kidnapper and air it on her show. Shockingly, Sam refused. Sam went to Jason and told him about her past cons and admitted that she knew the truth about Jake. Their relationship was further strained when Jason asked if she'd had anything to do with Jake's disappearance. Sam's claims of innocence turned out to be lies; she had witnessed Jake's abduction. A business call to Maureen led Amelia to suspect that Maureen might have taken Jake. As Amelia was about to call the police, Jason arrived to question her about her whereabouts the day of Jake's kidnapping. Amelia told him about the phone call with Maureen.

Dillon was thrilled at the chance to work with a director he greatly admired but was hesitant to leave town. Noah appeared to be a doppelganger of a famous rock star by the name of Eli Love.

AUGUST 2007
August 6 to 10, 2007
Alcazar's gardener took the stand and testified that he saw Jason load Alcazar's lifeless body in the back of an SUV the night Lorenzo reportedly disappeared. Jason insisted that the man was lying. Speaking hypothetically, he told Diane he'd never use his own vehicle. He went on to tell her that the gardener was the brother of a man whom Jason allegedly killed. Sam appeared to be intent on carrying through with her threat to ruin Liz's life. She spent more time with Lucky, carefully planting seeds of doubt by suggesting that Liz and Jason had been carrying on an affair since the previous summer.
