Outside the Pub, Stephanie and Jada speculate that Bobby is pretending to be Everett. Jada recalls how “Everett” emerged while she was questioning Bobby about Li’s murder. “Everett” claimed not to have Bobby’s memory of it, but if he’s still Bobby, he could be pretending to be Everett to cover up the truth.

In the hospital, “Everett” apologizes to Kayla for his rudeness. He blames it on dealing with his mental illness and working under a new boss. It’s been a stressful time, so worrying about Stephanie’s feelings isn’t his top priority. He apologizes for his continued rudeness and leaves for his therapy appointment. Kayla warily watches him go.

Getting off the phone at home, Paulina rants to Abe about “Everett” harassing her for a quote about Rafe. What she needs to be doing is appointing an interim police commissioner. Jada is the best candidate but she’ll probably want to focus on Rafe. On the other hand, she might want to work overtime to nail the bastard who attacked him. She’ll reach out to her after her appointment with Kayla.

As Connie reaches for Rafe’s ventilator machine, Gabi enters the hospital room. Connie stashes her latex gloves in her pocket and explains how terrible she feels about Rafe’s condition. As a citizen of Salem, she wanted to see if she could help.

“Why don’t you cut the crap and tell me why you’re really here,” Gabi gravely states. Connie says she’s really there to bring her a hard copy of her resume and ideas for Gabi Chic. Gabi tells her how “nuts” and “creepy” that is. She doesn’t have time for a stalker and orders her to leave. Connie can’t do that.

Bobby comes to Marlena’s empty office. Sighing, he notes how stressful it is to be Everett. When Marlena arrives, “Everett” asks to cut their appointment short. It’d be better for his stress levels to get his life in order. Marlena knows his job and relationship with Stephanie are important to him, but so is his treatment. “Everett” says he broke up with Stephanie.

Upon returning from L.A. with the rights to Body & Soul, Kate comes to see Abe. He’s overjoyed by the news, but Kate informs him the three main actresses won’t relocate. Disappointed, Abe suggests recasting, but Kate doesn’t want to be a pale imitation of the show. Maybe they can reimagine the whole thing. Abe laments it wouldn’t be his show then. Kate rattles off the many things they need to do and the people they need to hire. They have a big learning curve ahead of them.

In a hospital exam room, Kayla tells Paulina her test results look great. Her only concern is that her cholesterol is mildly elevated. Kayla suggests a low-fat diet, exercise, and statins. Paulina is resistant to taking more meds. She thought her health issues were over.

Kayla believes if she takes these preventative measures they will be over for some time. Paulina asks Kayla not to tell Abe about her resistance to medication. Kayla won’t but thinks Abe would be proud of her. Paulina sighs that he barely notices her sometimes since he’s so busy with his soap opera. At least it gives him something to do other than moan about it being canceled.

In Rafe’s hospital room, Connie offers to be Gabi’s assistant, for free, to help her manage all she has going on. It’d be her honor to serve her. Gabi is interviewing assistants, but she doesn’t have for this right now. Connie offers to get her coffee. Gabi sternly gives her order, and Connie rushes out.

In Marlena’s office, “Everett” explains that it didn’t seem fair to ask Stephanie to wait around while he heals. He is also starting to feel some of Bobby’s feelings. Marlena guardedly calls that progress. He says he’s ready to face his past and asks to be hypnotized again. Marlena puts “Everett” under. “Everett” cries as he recalls his father hurting him with a belt. With tightly closed eyes, he yells for him to stop.
