A new day, 37 minutes of show today.
Show opens with Stephanie opening her laptop to start work. There is a sticky note that says “Thinking of you, every part of you” C (or something like that) Stephanie picks up her phone to text Chad when the doorbell rings, it’s Chad’s freshly cleaned robe at the door. Sadly, Alex is with the robe. Stephanie tries to get rid of Alex, as she has to get to work. Alas, Alex walks in.
Chad and Theo chat, Theo tells Chad about Lani. Eli arrives at Paulina’s looking for Lani.
At the pier, Lani has a weak pulse. So instead of calling EMS, they discuss what may or may not have happened.
Marlena and Kayla discuss Nurse King and the guilt she must have. John calls and tells Marlena everything or something, we don’t hear his side of the story.
Abe is on the couch wondering why he is so tired all the time? Nurse Whitless comes out with the handy dandy space heater, because it’s summer and you can never be too warm, right? Nurse Whitless piles all the cats on Abe and tells them about how the cats used to enjoy fighting to sit on Abe’s lap. Whitless tells Abe that everything went wrong on the outside but here on the inside it can all be happy.
Marlena tells Kayla that Nurse King aka Whitless is holding Abraham hostage. Kayla wisely asks did they call the police? Well, Steve left a message for Jada. Now, Kayla and Marlena are going to alert the police that the mayor has been kidnapped. They are going to call Rafe!
Eli is grilling Paulina on Lani’s whereabouts, Eli assures Paulina that Lani will explain why she is late.
Jada has called EMS. The US Marshal finds a used syringe and knows it’s drug use. With a 6 cc syringe, because all junkies use huge syringes. This is the last time we see the handsome US Marshal for this episode.
Theo was searching all night but no sign of Lani. Theo has called Claire; she wishes she could be here to help. Chad says what do you need from me? Chad tries to assure Theo that it will work out, he needs a distraction. Chad suggests a game of chess. They talk of the new apartment. Theo knows something is wrong. Chad is unhappy with Alex living next door.
Alex hangs out in the apartment as Stephanie makes some suggestions and eye rolls and hints to leave. Alex says he can take a hint. Stephanie says CAN YOU? Are you not aware of being a jerk? Alex who left his eye glasses at home has nothing to play with for this part of the conversation. So, he goes dumb.
Kayla and Marlena talk about how happy they are that Rafe and Jada are going to Nurse King's house. This is based on the news that no one can reach Jada or Rafe, so they should already be rescuing Abe.
Abe asks why is he suddenly always tired? Nurse Whitless says it’s because she doesn’t want him to hurt any more. She feels a little sad. She keeps thinking about that day she left him alone. God has given her a second chance. Nurse Whitless has turned on the space heater and they sit to watch TV or just take a nap together. She forces Abe into a napping position. Abe notices a smell.
Eli can’t figure out why Rafe hasn’t called with an update on Lani. Eli calls Rafe. Rafe answers and says that things have been happening fast (WHAT??). Rafe tells Eli to get to the hospital fast.
Lani is in a hospital bed in a gown with tubes and nasal cannulas as Jada walks in. Jada has the syringe. They are going to test it to see what it is and if there is an antidote.
Chad tells Theo that Stephanie and Alex dated, we get a recap of the Stephanie/Alex/Chad story. Theo asks questions so it goes on and on and on. Chad whines on and on.
Alex is shocked he was called a Jerk. Stephanie calls him out, Alex says he was just being neighborly. Stephanie continues to call him out. Alex says yep, he’s being a jerk.
Lani was injected with a powerful anesthesia drug. Kayla tells the Salem PD the news of Nurse King and Abe and the kidnapping, because most hospitals know all the news of crime going on. Rafe and Jada leave the room in a hurry.
Marlena shows up at the door, walks in, reacts badly to the smell of gas. Nurse Whitless tells Charlemagne (Marlena) to leave. Marlena is confused, she explains the place is toxic they have to get out. Nurse Whitless walks away.
Stephanie, the girl that has to get to work, continues to talk with Alex, the boy who won’t take a hint or a direct order. (Are they really the end game?)
Kayla calls Theo and tells him that the police found Lani and she’s going to be okay. There is more news, please come to the hospital.
Paulina and Eli arrive at the hospital and walk into Lani’s room. Dammed that US Marshal, who has disappeared for a few minutes. Lani tells of being drugged by Nurse King. Lani is trying to tell them about Abe. She tells them that Abe is alive. Paulina stands stunned and silent. Kayla tells Paulina that no, this is the truth.
Nurse Whitless and Charlemagne (Marlena) argue in the closed room with a faulty heater. This time Nurse Whitless will make it right. Marlena wants to help. Jada and Rafe kick in the door.
Jada tells Eli and Paulina what happened and how Jerry recanted the story. Lani tells them about drugging Abe and pretending to be Paulina.
Whitless picks up a lighter and threatens to blow up the building. Abe wonders what is going on? Nurse Whitless mumbles the Lord's Prayer as she holds the lighter. Abe reaches out and touches her. Nurse Whitless hands Marlena the lighter.
Alex says message received, and he goes to leave. Stephanie wants to know why are you being a jerk now? Alex responds with an answer. Stephanie tells him he will one day find his own true wuv. She hugs Alex, and Chad walks in. Because, of COURSE?
Chad and Alex discuss loudly boundaries. Another stupid conversation. Alex leaves, Chad realizes he has overreacted.
Paulina can’t believe Abe is alive. In a town where returning from the dead is more common than going grocery shopping.
Eli assures Lani her father is safe.
Jada calls the police captain tells him/her the location is secure and to alert the mental health team. Jada reads Nurse Whitless her rights.
At the hospital, Marlena wheels in Abe who is still drugged and confused. Paulina and Theo (who just arrived) hug the confused Abe.
