Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
EJ told Gabi that he would have her arrested for hitting him. When she tried to hit him again, he grabbed her arm and warned her not to do it. Out of the blue, JJ showed up and told EJ not to touch Gabi or he would have to deal with him. When EJ let Gabi go, JJ said EJ hadn’t changed and he still mistreated women. EJ said Abby willingly had an affair with him and so did Gabi. JJ told him not to talk about his sister. EJ apologized for what he said because what happened was a tragedy. When he brought up Cat, JJ said she was the reason why he was there. He said he wanted to make Cat pay for what she did. EJ said the charges were dropped. Gabi wondered how EJ could let Cat go. EJ said it was none of his business and told JJ to file a complaint if he didn’t like it. JJ said he would file a complaint and ended up hitting him. When EJ tried to hit JJ back, Gabi stopped them. EJ threatened to have JJ arrested for assault. Gabi said he told her that earlier and thought it was hard to abuse his power when there’s a witness. She said she would testify that EJ started with him. EJ said they weren’t worth the trouble and walked off. Gabi and JJ talked about EJ letting Cat go. She said EJ probably let Cat go free because she’s guilty and he likes punishing innocent people. JJ asked why she was fighting with EJ. She said it was over his part in the end of her marriage. While they were talking, Gabi thanked him for standing up for her and thought all was forgiven between them. JJ mentioned Julie’s pacemaker. He said the memory was still painful and he would be lying if he said he wasn’t still upset about it. Gabi said she was upset that she stooped so low, but she wasn’t that person anymore. She thanked him for rescuing her. He reminded her that she rescued him years ago on Christmas Eve and saved his life. When they were finished talking, he left.
At the pub, Roman, Paulina, and Stephanie talked about what happened at Johnny’s party at the studio. Paulina said Johnny was acting like a fool just like his father. Stephanie said she was to blame for some of it, but Paulina thought it wasn’t her fault. Paulina wanted to talk to Stephanie about Alex. Stephanie said what happened at the hospital stirred things up between them until Kate and Abe made a thing about workplace relationships. Despite her feelings for Alex, Stephanie said they should remain friends. Rafe and Jada showed up at the pub. When Paulina noticed Jada’s ring, she wanted to know the details, but they had to wait. Rafe let her know he was cleared to go back to his commissioner job immediately. Paulina said she thought about it and didn’t think it was a good idea. Rafe and Jada let Paulina know he was ready to do the job. Paulina said the Salem PD was short staffed so she needed Rafe to be a detective and Jada to stay on as commissioner. Jada said she was doing the job until Rafe got better and never wanted to replace him permanently. Paulina said she understood but thought this was a good move. She said Jada was doing a good job. Jada said she was flattered, but she wouldn’t take Rafe’s job. Paulina said the job didn’t belong to him. She told him it wasn’t personal, but she thought Jada was doing a good job. When Paulina left, Jada told Rafe that she didn’t want to take his job. He said he knew, but it was Paulina’s decision and should be lucky he was still detective. At the hospital, Alex and Chanel talked about what’s going on with her and Johnny. When he said he was glad things worked out between her and Johnny, Alex brought up Stephanie and how he used to be jealous of her and Chad. They talked about his feelings for Stephanie. Joy ran into Johnny. She said she heard he shot the love scene between Alex and Chanel and wondered how he felt. Johnny said he was upset about what he did to his wife and wanted to tell her the truth. She wanted to know what would happen to her if he told the truth. Johnny said she wasn’t in a relationship to which she said she was in a relationship with her employers and cast mates. Joy said she didn’t know how far Chanel would be willing to go to make her pay. She said Stephanie almost got fired for sleeping with a coworker, but she might not be that lucky to get away with it. Her mother thought she ruined things and didn’t want him to tell the truth. If he told the truth, it would ruin things between him and Chanel. While they were talking, Chanel showed up and wondered what was going on. Joy lied and told her they had a disagreement about a scene. Johnny said he saw her point. Chanel asked if Joy wanted to run lines to which joy agreed.
