A bikini clad Chelsea and Stephanie meet Jeremy Horton, Stephanie’s boyfriend, and Jett Carver at the beach. “Hey Hot Buns!” calls Stephanie. “Sweet Cheeks!” replies Jeremy with a kiss. He then queries about “the babe” Stephanie’s with. Stephanie makes the introductions. Chelsea quickly figures out that Jett is Abe Carver’s nephew. Jeremy and Jett banter briefly before Stephanie proposes “two hot flight attendants” for their shuttle business. Jeremy then breaks the news that they lost their investor, and thus their business is grounded. Stephanie offers to make some phone calls, figuring that it shouldn’t be too difficult to cover costs. Jeremy reveals that they need $25,000 to get their business up and running again, which is more than just chump change. Stephanie makes it sound so easy and suggests they just ask one of the banks for a loan. “It seems a couple of young fly boys with no credit history doesn’t inspire a hell of a lot of confidence,” states Jeremy. Stephanie then suggests Max Brady would like to get a piece of the investment. Chelsea is against this idea, since Max doesn’t have $25,000 to invest in anything. Stephanie figures he can just take it out against his garage. Chelsea attempts to dissuade Stephanie against getting Max involved. “How can one girl be so much fun?” jeers Jeremy to Chelsea. Stephanie tells Chelsea to lighten up, since Max is a big boy and can always say no. Jett then approaches Chelsea and Jett asks if she’s seeing anyone. She reveals that she’s seeing someone named Nick who just finished college and is thus older. She briefs him on Nick’s job, intelligence, and sweetness. “Sounds more like a total geek to me,” derides the conceited young Horton. Chelsea of course defends Nick and states he’s not a nerd, he’s her boyfriend. Stephanie then informs the gang that Max is on his way. Chelsea is stunned that Max would close his garage in the middle of the day to meet them at the beach. Jeremy gives his “Sweet Cheeks” a kiss for luring Max there. The two walk off to a more secluded area for their make-out session, while Jett and Chelsea proceed to go for a walk. Chelsea makes it known that Jett’s best friend is a real jerk.
Max shows up after Jett and Chelsea return from their walk and Jett introduces himself. Jett informs him that Jeremy Horton is CEO and co-founder of “Touch the Sky Airlines.” Jett and Jeremy show Max the five year prospective earnings chart. Max appears skeptical at first, since he figures their rich clientele would have their own private jets anyway. Jett then mentions the incredible perks they have. “Really sexy flight attendants,” smiles Stephanie as she puts her arm around a reluctant Chelsea. Chelsea voices her disapproval to Max, but Stephanie states that Max doesn’t want to be a “grease monkey” for the rest of his life. “He’s not a grease monkey, he’s an auto mechanic,” clarifies Chelsea. Max agrees to sign up. Everyone is delighted except for Chelsea, who smells a scam. She attempts to persuade Max to at least let Frankie look over the paperwork. Jeremy barks at her to either lose the negativity or keep her mouth shut. Jett assures his jerk of a friend that Chelsea’s just looking out for Max.. Max tells them to meet him at the Brady Pub in an hour and he’ll have a certified check for $25,000. Stephanie coyly suggests to Jeremy that he give her and Chelsea a job since she found an investor for his company. Jeremy says no problem for his “Sweet Cheeks,” but speculates that “Lorna Doone” will scare away the customers. After Chelsea walks off, Jeremy refers to her as a “pain in the butt.” He then makes out with Stephanie. Jett apologizes for Jeremy’s attitude, claiming he just says what he thinks. “Yeah, so do I and I think that he’s rude, arrogant, and an obnoxious woman hater,” expresses Chelsea. She wishes him luck with his airline. He asks her to join him for a burger, but she reminds him that she already has a boyfriend. Jett claims it’s just a bite to eat, not a date. She reluctantly accepts. Meanwhile, Stephanie relishes about telling her family about Jeremy’s new airline, but he warns her to keep mum, just in case it doesn’t work out. Stephanie agrees and asks him to give his new flight attendant a back rub. It obviously appears that Jeremy is hiding something.
At the police station, worried Lucas leaves another message for Sami, warning her that EJ got away. John then relays to Bo that Hope mentioned Sami’s appointment with an Italian professor to have a DiMera letter translated, which doesn’t thrill Bo. Lucas wonders how EJ slipped out of the police station. Bo replies that EJ got a phone call and just took off. He speculates that the call could’ve been about Sami. Lucas charges out of there on a mission to find his wife, while Bo and John head out to pay Tony DiMera a visit.
A disoriented Sami is still in her car bound by duct tape, slowly being poisoned by carbon monoxide thanks to Bart. EJ frantically approaches her, assuring her that he’ll get her out. He urges her to stay awake as he attempts to pry open the locked door. He then prys the sunroof open and begins to cut the tape, vowing not to let her die. As he lays her on the ground, he attempts to revive her by giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and is pushed away by Lucas. Lucas lovingly pleads with her to wake up as he breathes life into her. She comes to and cries to Lucas that he saved her as a jealous EJ looks on. A shaken Sami recalls how scared she was as Lucas assures her that she and the baby will be fine. She hugs Lucas in relief as she wonders how he found her. Lucas briefs her that he, John, and Bo were going crazy looking for her all over town. Sami recounts that she was at the pub and was on her way to the university to have the mysterious DiMera letter translated and the next thing she knew she was duct taped to the car. EJ informs them that an ambulance is on the way. Lucas proceeds to call Marlena and inform her of the situation, but is frustrated when he can’t get a signal. Lucas walks off to another part of the alley.
