THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
So I took your suggestion, and I talked to Xander about going back to work at Titan. And he just hired me.
Oh, that’s great. Congratulations.
Thank you.
But that’s not so crazy, right? I mean, you did work there before.
Well, that’s not the crazy part.
I talked to Philip today and he actually gave me a job there, too. [Joy chuckles]
Oh. Wow. That isbig news.
Thank you so much. Yeah, it was just dropped off. [tense music] A pregnancy test. Patient named Wesley, Joy.
Joy?
[upbeat jazzy music]
Excuse me? Savannah?
Yeah? Was I expecting you? No, I guess not. I’m sure I’d remember if a handsome face like yours booked me for an engagement.
Actually, I, um–
Wait, I know. You were at that bachelor party that I worked a few weeks ago, right? Sam, was it?
Shawn.
Well, are you looking to hire me for a lap dance, Shawn?
No, not exactly. And I probably should have mentioned it’s Detective Shawn Brady, if we’re being technical. I have a few questions for you, Savannah. [suspenseful music]
[Gabi sighs]
I’m glad Jada didn’t waste any more time here, because going through Arnold’s things has gotten us exactly zero more leads on Rafe.
[Gabi sighs] I’m sorry. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I’m really glad you’re here to help, JJ. It’s just that I–
It’s fine. I totally get it. I’m disappointed, too. But it was an avenue that we had to pursue. And now, we’ll move on to the next one.
Hey, we’ll find your brother. I’ll bring him home. Promise.
[Gabi sighs]
[EJ sighs]
Well, Father, I must say I am rather relieved you aren’t alive to witness the mess Feniger’s made of things. And after you and I deigned to save his life, no less. I could, however, certainly use your advice on the matter of what to do now.
I doubt the man is flush with ideas, considering he’s got canvas for brains.
Rita, it’s about time. I was beginning to think that you’d run into some issues disposing of Feniger.
Why do you say that? Were there are some issues on your end?
[siren wailing]
Where’s my lawyer?
Not here. Is that a problem?
It is, actually, yes. Because you can’t question me without my attorney present.
You know, it figures that police procedure is the one thing you claim to remember. It’s pretty convenient, wouldn’t you say?
Well, trust me when I say that there is very little that is convenient about being stuck here.
Well, get used to it because I know police procedure, too. In fact, I know it backwards and forwards. Which is the main reason why Rafe hired me in the first place. [suspenseful music] You know, Rafe, my fiancé, the man that you replaced? That’s right. Before he was my fiancé, he was my boss.
You coming?
Does that mean I got the job?
Welcome to Salem PD.
Oh, my God. I remember.
You remember what?
The day I hired you.
You expect me to believe that?
Yes. I said, “Welcome to Salem PD.” It was the best damn decision I ever made. [suspenseful music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Steph, everything OK?
Huh? Yeah, everything is fine.
Look, Stephanie, I– I get that it’s a bit weird that me and Alex are going to be working together. And to be honest, I’m not exactly psyched about it myself.
No, it’s–it’s not–
And look, Joy and I haven’t even had the chance to discuss it at all, really. But now that we’re all here, maybe we should hash it out. None of us could have predicted that we’d be working together. Right? [Stephanie sighs] And look, maybe if it’s easier, I’ll just tell Xander that I’m not going to be able to take the job.
Oh, God, no, no. Alex, Titan is your family business. That’s why I suggested that you go back to it in the first place. [Alex groans] You have every right to take that job.
So in other words, um, you think the one who should decline the job is me. [chuckles uncomfortably]
Hey, I don’t want any trouble, OK? I quit that job way before the cops raided that place. And those drugs were not mine, I swear.
Uh, well, that–that all sounds very interesting, but that’s not the reason why I’m here.
It isn’t?
No. No, I’m not here to talk drugs. I’m here to talk about the bachelor that you slept with the night before his wedding. [tense music]
Thank you, JJ. And thank you for everything you’ve been doing to help me find Rafe. I just– I can’t help but worry that even if we do find him that it could be too late. [somber music] My God, what if EJ decides to kill him?
EJ may be a despicable human being, but he’s smart enough to know that killing a person only causes more problems than it solves. Just look at what he and his father went through to make sure Arnold stayed alive the first time around. If they bothered to save a creep like that, I can promise you Rafe is alive.
But alive where? EJ has enough money and power to have him stashed anywhere in the world. I mean, we could look for months and not find him.
But EJ is also the sort of guy that likes to keep his problems where he can see them. I bet whatever noises Jada heard in the DiMera tunnels all those weeks ago was actually Rafe being held captive. EJ probably just had him moved by the time you and Jada went back down to investigate.
And the minute we find him, EJ could just move him again. Damn it!
EJ is the only one with the answers that we need. We just need to find a way to get the truth out of him.
[tense music]
It seems I struck a sore spot. Was there an issue with the plan?
There have been a few– [clears throat] Unforseen challenges.
Such as?
[sighs] It seems Rafe may have been given a stronger dose of CRS-17 than we’d originally planned for. Not only has he forgotten everything about his own kidnapping, but the rest of his mind seems to have gone as well.
Well, that’s certainly not ideal.
No. And I wouldn’t care one way or another except for the fact that Gabi took it upon herself to run a DNA test on Feniger before we were able to make the switch.
Why would she do that? [EJ sighs and clears throat]
If I were to bet, Feniger gave himself away in one way or another. And she started to suspect that he wasn’t her brother. But what matters now is the fact that Gabi and whoever else she decided to confide in now knows that Rafe was being doubled.
She just doesn’t know when the imposter was deployed.
Exactly. So when the real Rafe was discovered back in his own kitchen, whoever found him thought him to be Arnold still and took his–[sighs] Amnesia as some sort of desperate ploy by Feniger to avoid prosecution.
Hmm. Not an insane theory.
Except now the authorities believe the actual Rafe Hernandez is still out there and being held captive by me.
Well, now I can see why you were turning to old Father Dearest for help. But how long will this problem last? If I remember correctly, the drug Dr. Rolf gave to Gabi first wore off eventually. Maybe the same thing will happen with Mr. Hernandez.
And he’ll remember who he is? Well, if that were to come to pass, let’s hope to God that he doesn’t remember everything. Otherwise, it could blow up in all our faces. [tense music] 23
I remember now. I am Rafe Hernandez.
Oh, God. Of course Rafe said, “Welcome to Salem PD” when he hired me. That doesn’t prove it was you. Come on, Feniger. You are not fooling anybody with this whole–
Your father’s name was Marcus Hunter. Your younger sister is Talia. 24
Hmm. All right, go on. Go on, keep spouting out names that EJ fed you before you start–
You are the best damn detective that I ever hired. And then… [chimes playing] [soft dramatic music] The first time we kissed, you rocked my world. And I knew that we were meant to be together.
I love you, Jada. I love you and I have missed you so much.
Go to hell.
No, of course I’m not saying that you shouldn’t take the job. Where you choose to work is none of my business.
You’re right, it’s not. And to be honest, I can’t exactly be picky with my employment opportunities at the moment. Especially not now that I’m–
I totally get it. Look, I just– I just thought that maybe you would be following the rest of the “Body & Soul” cast to Los Angeles, that’s all.
Well, as I was telling Alex, I was considering it. But by the time I made up my mind, they’d already recast my part, so–
Oh. I’m very sorry to hear that.
Yeah. I probably would have decided sooner, had I been in a better headspace. But, you know, with me having been poisoned and then dumped, I–
Joy, Joy, I am truly very, very sorry.
The point is that I have to play the hand that I was dealt. And in this case, it means taking this assistant gig working at Titan. And if you have a problem with that, he’s the one who can quit.
Uh–
Joy, nobody has to quit. Stephanie’s not saying that. It’s a big company. I’m sure it’ll be fine. [soft upbeat music]
[sighs] Either it will or it won’t. Regardless, I’m staying.
Roger that. I will see you at the office then. OK? Steph, come on.
[tense music]
Jada, I was only trying to tell you that I remembered everything.
Watch it, Feniger. You are on very, very thin ice with me right now.
OK. Well, would Feniger know all the crap that we had to put up with when the department said that we couldn’t date? [somber music] Would Feniger remember the first time that we made love? Would Feniger have memorized every word that he said to you when he proposed? It’s from my Tía Hilda.
You know, she said to me that it broke her heart every time she saw my heart break when my relationships fell apart. When she died, she gave me this with a very specific set of instructions.
And what are those instructions?
That I have to give it to someone that I know that I am going to love for the rest of my life. [Jada gasps] Don’t worry. Because that person is you. So… [Jada gasps] Jada Hunter, will you marry me? [soft dramatic music] [Jada inhales sharply]
And then a crowd started to gather around us. And you said, “No pressure, huh?” And then you said, “Of course I will marry you, Rafe.” And you made me the happiest man in the world.
Jada, I know that I am going to love you for the rest of my life. I know that you’re the one for me.
And I hope you still feel the same way about me.
Wait, a second. What day is it? Are we already married?
No. We never got a chance to finish the wedding.
[softly] No. Why not?
The bachelor I s– [sighs] You mean that guy Hernandez?
Yeah, well, that’s the thing. The guy you slept with was not Rafe Hernandez. He was some kind of imposter.
Huh.
That doesn’t surprise you? 35
Not really, now that I think about it. Let me guess. His real name was Arnold, right? [suspenseful jazzy music]
Oh, damn, damn, damn. I can’t believe we managed to pull off the switch with Rafe and Feniger only to have everyone in Salem assume that Hernandez is still out there somewhere.
Well, everyone in Salem seems a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? People do have their own lives, you know.
Oh, really? Tell that to Rafe’s sister and ex-fiancée. I’ve already had a house call from the both of them insisting upon searching down in the tunnels. And they will not stop until they get answers. That I cannot supply, obviously. Please, please tell me you were able to dispose of Feniger without much trouble?
Oh, I certainly made sure he won’t be doing any talking. Although I probably should tell you he’s not exactly nursing a Mai Tai down in Argentina as we planned. [suspenseful music]
What do you mean, not exactly?
He wouldn’t get on the jet. Kept making all these threats and demands. So in the end, I made the executive decision that there needed to be a more… permanent solution.
Permanent solution. What exactly did you do to him, Rita?
Uh-oh. I know that look.
What look?
The I’m not going to sit back and let the police handle this look.
Can you blame me?
No. But I also care about you. I don’t want to see you get hurt.
I care about my brother, too.
I know you do. And look, I’m sorry we didn’t find anything here. But there still could be some leads in Arnold’s room at the Salem Inn. 40
Are you heading there next?
I was going to. But–
No, look. [chuckles] I’m fine. Go.
OK. Just please… don’t do anything you’re going to regret.
41
I promise.
And I certainly won’t regret this.
[soft dramatic music]
Well, what do you say? Should we– should we have a little drink and toast to your new job?
Uh, I’m not exactly sure we should be toasting to something you’re not really that happy about. 42
What are you talking about? I’m happy.
Steph, I saw the way you reacted back there.
OK, fine. I was–I was a little blindsided. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not happy for you. I just–
You wish I wasn’t working with Joy. I get it. And as you just heard, I’m not completely thrilled with it either. [Stephanie sighs] After everything that went down with me and Joy and the breakup, I just feel like– [soft dramatic music] Like I owe her the courtesy of seeing this through.
I agree. You do owe her that.
But?
But nothing.
44
You trust me?
Of course I trust you. I know the two of you working together, you’ll– you’ll keep it professional. That’s not what I’m concerned about.
What are you concerned about?
Oh. Oh, hey, hey, hey. You OK?
Hey.
Looked like you were about to fall over. 45
I’m fine. I’m fine.
You don’t seem fine. Hey, I’m a cop. I was an EMT before. If you just let me see? [soft dramatic music]
Well, your pulse is going about a mile a minute. You’re going to need some real help.
No, no, no. I don’t want any help. I’m just–I’m just a little lightheaded, OK? 46
Yeah, and you nearly passed out. Hey, if you just let me get you to a doctor, maybe they could figure out what’s wrong.
No, I already know what’s wrong. [somber music]
I might be pregnant.
Damn it, why can’t I remember what happened at my own wedding? 47
What doyou remember? [soft dramatic music]
Well, I remember talking to you about getting married on my birthday.
I remember going to see EJ about a PI case that I had for Black Patch. And EJ threw me out. But I knew that he was hiding something, so I snuck back in. [soft suspenseful music]
Oh, my God. I saw Arnold Feniger. [Rafe sighs]
How did you know that?
That the guy’s name was Arnold? He told me to call him that. He said that that was his real name. Said that that was his name before the Hernandez family adopted him. [suspenseful jazzy music] So I’m guessing that’s not true.
Well, except for the part where he called himself Arnold. His full name is Arnold Feniger. We feel that he’s been masquerading as Rafe for a while now, possibly even a few months.
[scoffs] So if he’s pretending to be someone else, what happened to the real Rafe Hernandez?
That’s what we’re trying to find out. Is there anything else that he told you besides his real name? Anything that would give us a clue as to where we could find Rafe?
[exhales deeply]
– Answer me, Rita. What happened to Feniger? You didn’t kill him, did you?
EJ, I– Rita. What are you doing here?
I was just dropping off some paperwork for Ms. DiMera. Please tell her I stopped by. 51
I will, but Rita–
Thank you, Mr. DiMera, but I have to get back to the office now. Lots to do. [chuckles] [Gabi clears throat] [suspenseful music] [Gabi clears throat]
Gabi, what is it? I’ve already told you I have no idea about this alleged Rafe imposter and I certainly don’t know where your dimwit of a brother is, so just jog on, would you? 52
Maybe this will jog your memory. [tense music]
I guess I’m just a little concerned about Joy and you being in such close proximity. Day after day. I just–I don’t want her to get too attached to you again. You know, after the whole poisoning debacle, she– she sort of saw you as her– as her rescuer and savior and–
Well, trust me, she does not think of me that way anymore. She just wants to move on, Steph. And so do I, obviously. [soft dramatic music] There’s nothing tying us together anymore. Promise you.
Oh. Well, congratulations, I suppose.
Not exactly the word I would use. If I’m pregnant, I’m screwed. [somber music]
OK.
And by that, I mean the father, already in a relationship with somebody else, so–
I see.
Is there–is there anything I–I can do to help?
Aside from turn back time? No. I will be fine. I’m probably just a little dehydrated right now, That’s all.
Well, then let me get you some water.
No, no, really you– you don’t have to.
Sure, I do. Public servants, after all.
No, no. Honestly, I am– [soft upbeat music] I am fine. See? I am all good. But, um, thank you for your concern, Officer. 56
Call me JJ.
All right. Well, I appreciate it, JJ, but I’m– I’m going to get going.
To be honest, Detective, Arnold and I didn’t exactly do a lot of talking, if you know what I mean?
Listen, I get it. But come on, he must have– he must have told you something. I mean, from the sound of it, it sounds like you guys have been hanging out for quite a bit.
Nope. Sorry, I got nothing.
I hope you’re telling me the truth right now. Because if you’re not, you’d be aiding and abetting a felony. You know that, right?
Look, the guy wasn’t exactly deep, OK? All I know is that he was good in bed. Albeit sweaty and a bit more of a sexist pig than my usual clientele. Which is saying a lot.
OK. Well, if you can think of anything else, anything at all, please give me a call. Rafe’s life could depend on it. [suspenseful jazzy music]
[tense music]
Now, now, Gabriella, let’s not do anything rash.
What did you do with Rafe?
I haven’t done anything with Rafe. I’ve told you that. Now, why don’t you be a good girl and put the gun down and we can have a civilized–
You lied! This is my brother’s gun, EJ. And I swear to God, I will use it to blow your head off unless you start telling me the truth. Now, where the hell is he?
– You saw Arnold?
Yeah.
And then what?
Well, I realized that he obviously hadn’t died in a jail cell like we all thought. So then I went to call for backup, and… [tense music] It all went black after that.
Do you remember seeing EJ when you woke up?
No. No, damn it. That– that’s the last memory that I have. Until you and Shawn woke me up in my kitchen. What happened in between?
I don’t know. But I know how we can find out. [laid-back jazzy music]
Oh, my God. I know you.
Excuse me?
You’re Regan Holloway from “Body & Soul.” I love that show.
Really?
Of course. I never miss an episode.
Wow. I guess I’m just surprised that you recognized me. I’ve barely been on.
Are you kidding me? You’re my favorite character. You’re hot, you’re stylish, you don’t take crap from anyone. [Joy chuckles] Unlike that Faith character. God, she was so spineless, always playing the victim. I’m glad they got rid of her. [scoffs] Besides, you and Arrow make a much better couple.
You think so? 64
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, your chemistry is off the charts. You two are totally made for each other. [soft tense music]
Jada should be getting home from work soon.
Oh. Well, since we’re hanging out in what is essentially her bedroom, what do you say we go back to my place? We can have a little bit of alone time together.
Actually, Jada is moving back into the Hernandez house.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Mm.
Yeah. As you know, she was only staying here because Rafe had broken up with her. But it turns out that that person actually wasn’t Rafe. So there’s no reason why she shouldn’t move back in there until–
The real Rafe is found and everything goes back to normal. 66
Well, normal for Salem.
Mm. Do the police have any leads on Rafe’s location?
No, not yet. Jada’s a great cop. She’s not going to rest till she finds him.
Mm.
OK, just send me a text as soon as you know for sure.
Great news. Our guy really is Feniger. Savannah the stripper, just confirmed it.
Except I don’t think he is. 67
What do you mean?
We’ll know for sure once forensics runs the prints we took off of him yesterday. But I think that’s really Rafe.
OK, what about the DNA test that proves that it isn’t Rafe?
He just shared with me all these memories, only memories that Rafe could have. I don’t know, I don’t know, maybe EJ switched him with Arnold after Gabi took his DNA? 68
Well, that would be quite the coincidence.
I mean– I mean, yeah, that could be. We would have to wait. [phone beeps] [suspenseful music]
What? [Jada gasps softly] What–what is it?
Forensics just confirmed it. It’s him.
It’s really Rafe. [Jada sighs] [soft dramatic music]
[Jada gasps softly] [knocking on door]
Gabi? Hey, Gabi, I didn’t find anything at the Salem Inn, but– oh, no. [tense music]
Oh, no.
Gabi, sweetheart, we both know you’re not going to shoot me.
Oh, yeah? Would you like to test that theory?
Would you like to go back to prison for murder? I was only there in the first place because you prosecuted me for a crime that I didn’t commit.
And the real killer has been found. You’ve been released, vindicated. Would you really like to give up your freedom?
You know, I thought for a nanosecond about trying to seduce the truth out of you. But… never again. You disgust me, EJ.
The feeling is mutual, I assure you. But I hardly think disgust will stand up as a defense against murder in a court of law.
If I have to shoot you, I will. And then I’ll just wipe my prints off the gun and be on my merry way.
Mm. Not so merry considering Rita saw you come in.
Face it, Gabi. Killing me… is not going to end well for you.
If you don’t cough up my brother’s location… [shouting] Right now… it’s not going to end well for you either. [tense music]
Hey, I’d love to buy you a drink. I don’t want you to think that I came over here to bother you free of charge.
Oh, that’s OK. 74
No, really. What do you want?
Uh, maybe just a club soda.
You sure? They’ve got great martinis here.
I’ll just take your word for it. I’m not really drinking these days.
What are you, pregnant? [soft upbeat jazzy music]
Oh, my God. Wait, are you pregnant? Is that why Regan got pregnant in the show? Did they write it in for you?
Can we just change the subject, please? I don’t really want to talk about it.
Oh, OK. You don’t got to worry about me, babe. My lips are sealed.
Well, then, if you are right about Jada not coming home, that means we don’t have to find someplace else for us to have that alone time I was talking about.
[laughs] I– [soft dramatic music]
I’d love to, Alex. But–
But what?
But you’ve got your first day on your new job tomorrow, and I’ve got an early start as well. Maybe it’s best if you just go back to your place. 77
Mm.
I hope you don’t mind.
Mm. Right. We should both definitely get our sleep.
Are you sure this isn’t about Joy? Because I will call Xander right now and tell him I’ll find another job.
No.
I won’t take it. 78
I swear it is not about the job.
As long as you’re sure.
I am.
OK. [Alex sighs] [suspenseful music]
EJ, I am going to pull the trigger! Three… two…
One.
Gabi? Gabi, stop.
JJ?
Look, you don’t want to do this. He’s not going to tell you where Rafe is.
JJ, will you just–
But I can.
80
What?
I know where Rafe is. I just got a call from Shawn. The guy they’re holding down at the police station, it’s not Arnold. It’s Rafe.
[soft dramatic music]
[gasps] Rafe. It’s really you. [Jada gasps]
You believe me?
I ran your prints. Oh, my God, Rafe. I have missed you so, so much. And I still love you with all my heart. I will love you forever.
