And we all have our own theories, which undoubtably vary a great deal.
I don't think anyone "turned anyone in". EJ's visa expired, he paid no attention and did not try to renew it. It raised a red flag, The government investigated. Obviously, as others reported here, it is done all the time.
Mr. Burke did comment about marriages of convenience.....done just so that someone can remain in the U.S. This is why they try to make sure a marriage is a valid one. Obviously, in their investigation, they learned a great deal. And what they learned did not set well.
As to Sami not testifying on Lucas's behalf...he really did not give her a chance. Tho I have to admit the Sami of old would have gone storming down to Abe, Mickey, the DA...etc. But, by the time Sami learned what Lucas had done, it was apparently too late.
I guess it could be just that simple that EJ's visa just simply expired and they had to have this miny storyline to move the plot along ... Which I would guess would be that EJ and Sami have to live as husband and wife and have to appear as a happily married couple to the outside world. At least they are getting along.
As far as Sami not helping Lucas - her conversation with Philip said it all - she was not going to testify that she drove Lucas to desperate measures ... and she told Lucas the same thing. Plus she was angry that she had to learn about this potential defense from Philip and Lucas' lawyers and not him. Sami was pretty angry with Lucas for not trusting her.
IN contrast ... EJ does trust Sami - he listens to her, he admires her, he applauds her - he asks for her advice and he asks for her help. He simply thinks she is amazing. He's told her that so many times too many to count and he tells other people how amazing Sami is! He has included Sami in solving this problem and Sami I think is kind of enjoying it. It gives her chance to be "crafty" and "itchy" but for a good cause. but what she said about him was so telling .... "you would be so lucky if someone loved you half as much as EJ loves me."
