THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[light music]
Oh, no! I overslept. I have to get going. I have to get–
Oh, shh, just slow down. You don’t have to be anywhere.
What? No, I have to go. I have to go open the–
You are so confused. You took the morning off from the bakery, remember?
Oh.
Yeah.
So you mean–
I mean that the morning belongs to us.
Oh, G, you got to stop. [sighs]
You know… it’s surreal that we’re doing this.
[chuckles] I know, right? But it is % real. “Body & Soul” is relaunched today.
[chuckles] And we are in charge.
Oh, baby.
Yeah. [laughter]
[phone rings]
Jada. Hey, any news?
Hey, yeah, I just talked to Marlena, and I told her our theory that Everett never reemerged and that Bobby is still in control.
What did she say?
Well, she’s limited by confidentiality. But reading between the lines, I’d say she agreed with us.
Wow. So we really are on the right track. And how did she react when you told her that we think that he may have stabbed Rafe?
Well, I’m keeping that on a need-to-know basis.
OK, yeah, good idea. I know we may not fully understand what Everett’s capable of, but… for him to have done something like that, it’s just really hard for me to wrap my head around. [dramatic music]
Uh-oh. What did Everett do now?
Who wants a latte?
Just come in. Get in. Get in. God. I thought we agreed we would not be seen together.
Well, good thing you closed that door, then.
This is an idiotic risk for both of us. I told Jada I know who really killed Li Shin.
When you were Bobby, not Everett. Wait, which one are you?
[laughs] That’s hilarious. But you’re begging for someone to catch a glimpse of us and connect the dots.
I’m not really worried, to be honest.
Why? Why not? What do you know that I don’t?
I’d like to bring Bobby in for questioning, but I’m gonna have to handle it very delicately. In the meantime, don’t say anything about this to anyone.
Of course not.
I mean, the last thing we need is for someone else to know that we think that Everett is Bobby and that he might be the one who stabbed Rafe.
I know this. I’ve got a perfect record. Whenever I commit a crime, I get away with it.
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Let me call you back. [sighs] Eavesdropper. Do you ever get tired of sneaking up on people?
Are you kidding? It’s a gift. And when it’s about Mr. Everett Lynch, I smell a story–or at least something that could have a negative impact on me.
Put that away.
Oh, come on! Help a girl out! These days, when I walk into “The Spectator’s” offices, I’m looking for the string quartet playing “Nearer, my God, to Thee.”
It’s hardly that bad.
Oh, really? A new old owner? Our intrepid editor fresh out of the loony bin? Let’s have it, Steph, because this impeccable tush is parked in an all-truth zone until you spill. [dramatic music]
OK. This goes no further than this table.
Oh, yeah? Exactly how many crimes have you committed that you’ve gotten away with?
We’ll need a ruling from the judges because I’m not sure stabbing Commissioner Hernandez counts as my crime.
It certainly isn’t mine.
You’re the one who wanted a favor in exchange for keeping your mouth shut about Li.
Yeah, a favor, not a murder.
Oh, what did you think I was going to do when I said I’d get rid of him, gift him a cruise around the world?
[sighs] [laughter] OK, listen, I don’t know you. I don’t like you. You’re not my friend. So I hope you understand when I say I never wanna see you again.
Fine. Your wish is my command.
Mayor Price.
[chuckles] Oh. Oh, I’m sorry about Rafe, Detective.
Thank you. And I saw the flowers that you and Abe sent to his room. They are so lovely.
Mm. Wish I could do more.
So do I.
Well, maybe you can. See, until Rafe is, you know, able and well enough to return to work, I need to appoint an interim commissioner.
OK, well, I will give whoever you appoint my full respect and cooperation. So who did you choose?
You.
OK, I’ve stopped. But, Chanel, what’s wrong? Are you feeling OK?
Yeah, I feel fine. And I’m sorry if it feels like I’m pushing you away. It’s just that I can’t stop thinking about what the doctor said after we lost the baby.
You mean about waiting to months before trying to get pregnant again?
Yeah.
Yeah, but I thought we were OK ’cause you’re on the pill.
Yeah, I am. But after my miscarriage, I’m not taking any chances.
Oh, yeah. So many fresh faces here. I just hope some of them show up for our open casting call.
Well, we certainly have a lot of roles to fill. We just have to do it quickly ’cause we need to get this show up and streaming before our fans get out of the habit of watching it every day. [knock at door] Oh. Let the auditions begin.
[laughs] Imagine, our next big star could be on the other side of that door.
You wanted the top job once, and out of all the candidates now, you are by far the most qualified.
[sighs] I am flattered. I am, but… we’re talking about the man I love. I can’t just take his job.
Oh, but, honey, you’d only be taking it until he wakes up. And don’t you think the man you love would want the best person available working to find his attacker and bring the perpetrator to justice? Don’t we owe Rafe that?
It’s kind of hard for me to turn that down when you put it that way.
I’m not a politician for nothing, honey. So is that a yes?
Yes, it is. It will be my honor. And, Mayor Price, I am gonna do exactly what you said. I am gonna work nonstop, and I am gonna find that bastard who put Rafe in a coma.
Oh, oh, yes, I know. I know you will. Oh. Oh, I’ll get my aides to work right away on a press release today. And if you need anything, call me on the private line.
I appreciate that.
Oh, you’re looking at the Li Shin file? I–isn’t that case closed?
I reopened it.
Again?
Yes. Well, some new information has come to light. And there may be yet another suspect.
Ooh. Well, round them up, buckaroo! The last thing that this town needs is another killer on the loose. [dramatic music]
Oops, almost forgot. The latte’s on me, but the doughnuts were $.. Money’s a little tight until my new job starts, so…
I’m not paying for these. I didn’t ask for doughnuts. I don’t like doughnuts.
They’re not for you, dum-dum. They’re for your detective lady friend. I figured you could use a little help in the wooing department.
[chuckles] Yeah. Nothing sexier than a box of doughnuts.
Attitude. I’m trying to help. You’re the one who has to keep pretending you’re someone you’re not. And Jada doesn’t even like Everett.
Won’t be an issue. Eh, after my recent breakthrough with Dr. Evans, Bobby and Everett have been integrated, so Everett can believably do anything that I want him to do. And he never has to find out about his ugly past.
Oh, Everett really owes you for keeping him locked up in that mental dungeon of yours.
Let me get you some cash.
Hmm.
OK.
Thanks. Oh, listen, I bought a baker’s dozen. How about a chocolate with sprinkles for my troubles?
[chuckles] Sure.
[sighs]
OK, truth is, Everett and I are over. He broke up with me.
That cad! Steph, I’m so sorry.
Thanks.
I have to say I’m also a bit shocked.
Why?
Well, before Everett was sent to Bayview, he prattled on about you constantly. I mean, he laid it on a bit thick, but I would just take a Dramamine, and I’d be fine. But to hear him say it, this was a love story for the ages. The ages! Honey, the way I see it, something is off about this whole scenario.
[breathes deeply]
OK, Chanel, if you’re saying you don’t wanna make love until–
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Johnny, that’s not what I was saying.
Oh.
I was saying that I usually take my birth control pill when I wake up at : a.m. But since I overslept, I haven’t taken it yet.
OK. OK. Whew. [both chuckle]
Thank you for understanding.
Yeah, of course. And… look… I don’t know if this is the right time to say this or not, but I know there’s a– a risk of another molar pregnancy in the future. And, you know, if that’s not something you feel like you can handle, then I just want you to know it’s OK, you know, if we don’t–
Johnny. Johnny, stop. I know that I was on the fence about having a kid before all of this, but if there’s one thing that I learned from this experience, it’s that when the time is right, it’ll be right. And I cannot wait to have a baby with you, if you’re good with that.
You know, why don’t you let me show you…
Mm.
Instead of telling you?
[chuckles]
Marlena, I am so glad you changed your mind.
Hey! Don’t call me Marlena.
Well, what do you– oh, I get it. She’s in character.
Oh! Of course, of course, of course. I apologize. You are the one and only Charlemagne.
I am the one and only Hattie Addams.
Hattie?
I thought you left town.
I did leave town. I was trying to find myself. And I went everywhere, from a convent to a nudist colony. And what’s so strange is, it didn’t seem like I fit in anywhere. I mean, can you even imagine that? And then I remembered. I remembered that I fit in somewhere just fine. Right here in Salem, you know, when I was– when I was helping bring down Steve-ano for you all. I was pretending to be Marlena. So it occurred to me, my calling is, I am an actress.
Mm, I see. So showbiz is calling your name.
Yes. Then I got here and realized that that horrible strike was on. It went on for months and months.
Yeah, we heard about that.
Yeah. And then I was looking at the swaps, and I was–
The what?
I think she means the trades.
So I saw a casting notice for “Body & Soul.” So I jumped on a plane ’cause I’ve always thought I looked just like Charlemagne.
Mm-hmm. OK, well, I think we need to pause a moment because you may look like Charlemagne, but can you play the part?
Hey, I played Marlena, didn’t I?
You sure did.
Mm-hmm.
Now play Charlemagne. [dramatic music]
All righty, just give me a script.
Come on, come on. I’ll show you Charlemagne.
[sighs] I wish we could just lay here all day.
Yeah, me too.
Mm.
But we have breakfast with your mom, so we might wanna get going.
Yeah, but, you know, I have to get up at the crack of dawn every day to open the bakery, so I never get to stay in bed like this.
Yeah. You wanna reschedule?
[sighs] You know, my mom, she is chronically late…
Mm-hmm.
So I don’t know. Maybe just a few more minutes? Sure.
[laughs]
Madam Mayor, I don’t want a murderer on the loose either, OK, but I have to proceed with caution. The same person who is a suspect in Li Shin’s murder, they may be tied to Rafe as well.
Really? So there are links between the two attacks?
There are.
Well, then all the more reason to act quickly.
Oh, yes, no, I have a plan, and I hope to execute that hopefully today. [tense music]
Well, Bobby, Everett, and whoever else you’ve got in there, have a great life.
[chuckles] Try to keep the murders to a minimum, OK?
I’ll do my best. [laughter]
[phone ringing]
[clears throat] Jada.
Everett, hi. I’ve been thinking. I’m not happy with the way we left things the last time we saw each other, and so I was hoping that maybe we could talk?
Yeah, yeah, anytime.
I’m at work now. Can you come over?
I’ll be right over.
[sighs]
Look, it’s not like Everett ripped my heart out and stomped on it. He told me he wanted to focus on his mental health. He didn’t think it was fair to ask me to wait for him while he got better.
But you would have waited, right? And Everett knew that, which confirms to me that he’s been acting very much not like himself since he was released from Bayview.
How so?
He has been moody and withdrawn, for one thing. The other day, I had to say his name three times before he heard it. It was almost like he didn’t recognize it. [gasps] Oh, my God. That would explain everything.
What do you mean?
What if it wasn’t his name? What if it wasn’t Everett that gave you the heave-ho after all? What if it was Bobby Stein? [gasps]
[sighs] [sniffs] Mm. Coffee breath.
Mm, mm, mm? Mm.
[lock beeps] [suspenseful music]
Well, let’s get you some sides.
Sides? I didn’t know we’re having lunch. I’ll have some French fries.
Sides as in audition scenes, Hattie.
I know what sides are. You just–you just had to say that, that’s all.
All right.
[clears throat]
So let’s try one, huh? We’ll see how it goes. You’re Charlemagne. And you will be Lorna, of course.
[sighs] Of course. [dramatic music]
All right. Is everything good?
Mm-hmm.
And action.
[clears throat] I don’t know who you think you are, Lorna D-D-DeLor–DeLorean.
All right, cut. Cut. You know, let’s try getting some emotion in the scene. A little more emotion. Now, you just take it easy, and when you’re ready.
[sighs] [sighs] OK. [forcefully] I don’t know who you think you are, Lorna DeLor–
Uh-uh, cut. Cut. Your volume’s very, very impressive. But you need to make us care that Lorna is usurping Charlemagne’s position as the top diva in town.
What is all this sides and usurping? When are you gonna start talking English to a person?
Oh, dear Lord.
We love to hate Lorna, but we want to love you.
Oh, oh, oh! I got it. I got it. I got it! [clears throat]
Who do you think you are?
Cut. Cut.
What? What? Come on, you told me what to do, and I–and I did it, and– I don’t understand what you’re– I just said that to my boss, I mean, if I– if I get the job. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to say that to you. I’m so sorry.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. No. No, that’s it. That’s it. You bring that emotion to the scene, and you won’t be just playing Charlemagne. You will be Charlemagne.
[gasps] I got the job? I got the job? [laughs]
Oh, sorry I’m late.
Oh, no, no worries. We were late too.
Oh, well, then I don’t feel guilty. [laughs] I had to stop by the police station to give Detective Hunter Rafe’s job– temporarily, of course, oh. Oh, hi, darlings. Hi. [laughs] Mm.
Mwah.
Oh.
Hi, Paulina.
And I do have good news, I’m happy to say. Jada already has a suspect in Rafe’s attack.
Oh, wow, that is good news.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. And I’m sure that he’ll pull through this. He already did once before.
Yeah, and we’re all praying that he will again. And the best welcome-back gift of all would be to have his attacker already behind bars, which I know is gonna happen soon because no one’s more motivated than Jada to get to the bottom of this. Mm-hmm.
And wasn’t Everett’s alter married to Detective Hunter? Because if Bobby is still in control, maybe he dumped you so he could be with her.
Oh.
[chuckles]
How lucky for us all that you’re a gossip columnist and not a psychologist. Leo, Bobby is not in control anymore. That’s why Marlena authorized Everett’s release.
So?
So your theory is ridiculous.
No, no, no, no, no. I think it’s– mental thesaurus, what are some antonyms for ridiculous? Plausible. Logical. Sensible. Credible. Yeah, that’s what my theory is. [scoffs] [knock at door]
Yeah, come in.
Hey.
Hey.
I… thought long and hard about what to bring you as a peace offering. [ominous music]
That wasn’t necessary, but thank you.
[chuckles] Listen, I– I know I crossed a line the other day in Rafe’s hospital room. You must be going through so much right now, and the last thing that I wanna do is make you uncomfortable at all.
Right, well, I appreciate you saying that. I was actually pretty worried about you, to be honest.
Hmm?
You weren’t acting like yourself.
I can explain that. I– remember how I said that I was starting to feel some of Bobby’s feelings, like he’s part of me?
Mm-hmm.
That’s because he is a part of me. I have been doing therapy with Dr. Evans, and it’s been, like, incredible, like, better than I ever could have hoped for.
Well, that’s great.
Mm-hmm. It is.
Mm-hmm.
See, I asked her to hypnotize me again. And it was like this curtain going up. I started to remember all these things that I’d– I’d blocked out for years.
So your memory is back? Wow, that’s great. I mean, what a break for the both of us.
For both–what do you mean?
Everett, don’t you see?
Hmm?
Bobby knew who killed Li Shin. So that means that you now know too. And… you can finally tell me.
Steel-cut oats, Mama?
I’m watching my cholesterol. But fair warning, I’m stealing a piece of your bacon.
[laughs]
I got you.
Well, then I might have to add some healthier options to the menu at the bakery, because I can’t lose a customer.
I would appreciate that. And, Chanel, well, I’m glad that Sweet Bits is still here. And I’m glad–I’m glad that you’re still here. And I’m glad that you’re– you’re both still here.
Me too. And yes, I’m still very sad about what happened, but I feel so lucky to get to see my Mama every day.
Aw. I’m the lucky one. [light music]
And Johnny and I were talking before. And someday, when the time is right, we will try again to start a family.
Oh, Chanel, oh. Oh, here come the waterworks.
[laughs] And when the time does come, we will be so blessed to have you by our side.
Oh, and I can’t wait to babysit– when the time comes.
Yes.
But what about that whole plan to move to LA?
You know, I’ve just– I’ve decided to find work around here. You know, Chicago has plenty of production. There’s a lot of unscripted stuff I can latch on to locally, so…
Oh, oh, yes. Those school board meetings on that Salem Channel, oh-ho-ho, they are full of drama, oh-ho-ho, let me tell you. They can give “Body & Soul” a run for the money. Mm.
Hattie.
Hmm?
Could I speak to Kate for a moment?
[scoffs] Yeah. Sure, go ahead. [dramatic music] What?
[clears throat]
Oh, yeah, why don’t I just– I’ll just– I’ll be waiting outside. Just wait outside a second.
[sighs] Abe, I know she looks the part, but she can’t act. She’s terrible.
Well, then we’ll hire an acting coach. I mean, you know, if we don’t get what we want, then we’ll make a change. But that look–that look.
[sighs] OK, OK. I’m going to defer to you. We have our Charlemagne.
[chuckles]
Hattie, you can come back in.
Yeah, yeah. Here I am.
Hattie.
Yeah, yeah.
You’re hired.
I’m hired?
Yeah.
Oh! Oh! Oh, that’s great! [cheering] Oh, my gosh. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You will not regret this.
I am already. Hmm.
Look, I have a quick errand that I have to run. Kate will go over the details of your contract.
Ah, great. Hey, hey, you know– you know that place in soap operas at the end of a scene where the actor just finishes what he’s gonna say and then he kind of just looks off and stares away for a long, long, long time? You know those moments? I’ve been practicing those for you. You ready? OK, here you go.
Leo.
Mm.
I know you’re really excited. You’ve got this shiny new theory. You can’t wait to tell everyone. But you can’t.
I could just make it a blind item.
About someone with multiple personalities and two loves? Everyone will know who you’re talking about. Not to mention, you’d be writing a blind item about your boss, who I doubt would take kindly to you making insinuations about his mental health in the paper he edits.
Fine. Fine.
[sighs]
But at least give me this. Do you think I could be right?
Honestly?
Yeah.
No.
Oh. Well, I hope the creep at least, you know, ended things in person. Dimitri did it by snail mail. Talk about postage doo-doo.
Well, I’m sure that didn’t make it sting any less.
If Everett thought he was protecting you by breaking up with you, I could set the guy straight. In fact, I’d like to.
Oh, no, no. No, please. It will not help.
Unless it magically does.
Leo.
Uh-huh?
Drop it.
[inhales sharply]
All right, I should get going. Always an adventure, Leo.
Mm. Well, don’t worry about me. I’ll just be here by my lonesome, putting my arrows back in my quiver. Did you ever notice that Cupid flew solo?
Not gonna help. What does she know? It’s not like I’m without certain talents. Besides, when have I ever stayed out of anything? [sighs]
Listen, Jada, I will– I’ll tell you honestly, but it’s– I don’t know that it works exactly the way that you think that it works. Like, I’m thinking about it now, and– yeah, God, it’s just–it’s– it’s fuzzy.
Hmm. In other words, you still don’t wanna tell me what you saw the day Li Shin was murdered.
Well, Bobby’s the one who was stringing you along with that one, right?
Yeah, but you just told me that the two of you are now integrated. [tense music] You know, maybe Rafe was right. You know, maybe you didn’t see anything, so there’s nothing to remember.
Yeah.
Or… maybe you don’t wanna tell me who stabbed Li Shin because that person is you.
[laughs] Seriously? I barely knew the guy.
OK, how about Rafe Hernandez?
What about Rafe Hernandez?
Rafe and Li were stabbed and killed exactly the same way: a knife to the back.
Now, I’m not sure what your motive would be to kill Li Shin– I mean, I don’t know if you have one that I’m aware of– but I can think of several reasons why you would want Rafe out of the way.
[inhales sharply] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s just… [sighs] Slow this down a little bit, Jada.
Admit it. When Bobby emerged, you were all about us getting back together. And how many times did I have to tell you that I am in a committed relationship with Rafe?
Hmm.
You know what I think?
Hmm? I think that you pretended that Everett emerged. I think that you were Bobby when you went into Bayview. You were Bobby when you left Bayview. And you were Bobby when you stabbed Rafe in the back.
[keyboard keys clacking]
There, that should do it. [dramatic music]
“Never trash something you’re gonna need later on.” Abe Lincoln.
Hello, Mr. Commissioner’s bloody DNA. Ready for your close-up?
[sighs] Could we get back to the negotiation? Your social media can wait, I’m sure.
[clears throat] All right, fine. Fine, fine, fine. So my pay. Now, you said something about scale, right? Is that pretty good money?
Yeah, that’s really good money…
Yeah.
For that job. You have no experience, remember?
Hey, you know what my experience is? This face. That’s my experience.
OK, well, remember back to when we were both working at a diner for $. an hour, and this is a lot better than that.
Yeah, well, I had great tips ’cause you know what? I gave great service.
I’m gonna give you a great tip. Just make sure you make your mark.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, I don’t know about this lowball offer. You know, I think I need some perks in here. I think I need– yeah, I need a motor home with a– with a color TV, a wide-screen color TV.
OK, I tell you what. You can watch your phone in your shared dressing room.
Well, OK, I’ll need a lot of jelly beans, a room full of jelly beans. And you can take out the green ones.
OK, well, I’ll tell you what. I’m gonna get you a garbage pail, and you can pick out whatever you want to.
And number three, I need my own makeup person.
Well, we can definitely do that, because the makeup person will be you.
I got to do my own makeup?
Did I mention hair? Because you’ll be doing your own hair as well. That is the offer.
Would Abe want an unhappy Charlemagne?
OK, you’re making a mistake if you think you can twist that man to your advantage. That’s not gonna happen. Now, do you wanna play the role of Charlemagne or not, Hattie? [dramatic music]
Just show me where I sign.
Oh.
[chuckles]
This is such a nice surprise. Ah! So I was just about to tell Johnny to hit you up for a job.
Oh.
Well, you know what?
Mm?
Great minds think alike. [chuckles] Johnny… look… I am going to need a professional director to bring out the latent talent in some of our less experienced actors. And I know this is not– it’s not the Hollywood blockbuster you dreamed of–
But it’s a job doing what I love.
Mm-hmm. And it is right here in Salem too.
Working with someone who I adore and respect. It’s everything I could ask for.
Oh!
This is amazing.
Yeah.
Congrats, Johnny.
Oh, yes. Hear, hear. Hear, hear.
Hear, hear.
Uh-huh!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I know this is difficult to understand. But Bobby is– is gone. I don’t need him anymore.
So you say.
Talk to Dr. Evans. You know, I– I’m Everett.
Yeah, that’s cute. You know she can’t talk to me about your case. Unless you’re about to commit another murder, that is. Are you about to do that, Bobby? [tense music]
I’m not Bobby. And I’m not a murderer.
You were freed from Bayview the same day that Rafe got stabbed. And then Stephanie went to visit you shortly after it happened, and she told me that you were just getting out of the shower.
Hmm.
Yeah, so what were you doing? Were you washing off evidence from a bloody crime scene?
[chuckles] No, that’s not what I was doing.
Then why do you look so guilty, Bobby?
[laughs] Sorry. I–I’m not Bobby.
I don’t know how many times I can tell you.
OK, you know what? I’m gonna put this as plainly as I can. You are my best suspect in two stabbing attacks. Now, my next move is gonna get on the phone. I’m gonna summon some experts. They’re gonna come in here, they’re gonna examine you, and they’re gonna tell me, which I’m pretty sure, that you are still Bobby and you are not Everett. And then you better come back with some better– better responses than these lame denials and excuses.
Fine. Fine. [chuckles] I’m Bobby.
I admit it.
But I did not stab Li. And I did not stab Rafe.
[inhales sharply, sighs]
But I know who did.
Gloves to plant gloves. It’s not OCD if you’re doing it to stay out of prison. [knock at door]
Everett, I need to talk to you.
[tense music]
[knock at door]
Everett, are you in there?
