An OK episode.
In the Pub at a booth, Paul is chatting John about how PIs are supposed to be invisible, but he's famous. John tells him that because of his fame, nobody will ever know he's trailing a suspect. Paul tells him about helping Belle with her case by going after Jennifer, feels guilty, isn't sure if he can do this line of work. John admits it can take its toll, but tells Paul not to sell himself short, take the good with the bad, mentions what a great job he did helping find Tate.
Sonny shows up and they soap stare, John says he is "meeting Doc on her lunch break", Sonny sits down and they small talk, decide to "do lunch", small talk about Paul's career, Will, Victor, etc. Sonny talks of going into the family business eventually, Paul notes that he has changed. Sonny says yes, he is alone after Will died. Everything changed. Small talk, Sonny pays and says they should do it again sometime.
At the Hernandez house, Gabi arrives, as it seems there's a family meeting. (And she does mention going to class!) Eduardo has already told everyone else the news: he is leaving town. Gabi starts getting upset, but of course Dario is glad Eduardo is moving away. Eduardo says he needs to go because of the threats, Gabi's mugging, Gabi doesn't want him to run away, thinks he needs to see Arianna grow up. He thinks the best and only thing to do is say goodbye, Mami thinks it's a mistake.
Hugs and tears, Rafe wants him to stay and offers his help in dealing with those who are making threats against Eduardo. Mami leaves the room, can't do this. Gabi and Dario start arguing about Eduardo's departure, Dario gets a phone call and leaves, Rafe comforts Gabi, tells her Dario is selfish and pigheaded, Gabi seems to think it's more. They continue to bash Dario, but Rafe reminds her he was the same way towards Eduardo at first, Gabi reminds him that he came around.
Outside, Dario is talking to the goon that assaulted Gabi, told him to leave Salem; what does he want? The dude needs money, blackmails Dario. Dario comes back inside briefly, then rushes out after saying he must "take care of something". Mami and Eduardo come back out, Gabi is still upset, eventually leaves after hugs, Rafe says he'll take care of the family, leaves too. Mami and Eduardo says their goodbyes (emotional scenes).
Dario meets the goon in the park, pays the guy, says it's the last time, he won't keep doing this. The dude says he will unless he wants his family to know the truth. Gabi is alone in the Square, the guy comes up and grabs her, tells the "bit**" to shut her mouth, has had it with her stupid family, then leaves. Bizarre.
Joey is walking through the Square, and Jade comes up to him, it's been a while, chit-chat, she's living with her parents. Apparently her dad cooled down, she thanks him for standing up for her before, but asks if he is avoiding her. Joey says he isn't, but is dealing with a lot; however, he doesn't want to go into details. Jade is annoyed that he doesn't want to open up to her, wonders if he doesn't want her anymore, he says it's not the case.
He mentions how his parents forced him into this "awful therapy", he can't quit, all his emotions all come out during the sessions. Jade tells Joey she's there for him, she won't get upset. Joey admits that Marlena tells him he's so mad and confused because he is always around her. Jade doesn't want him if he doesn't want her, Joey assures her he does, they go back and forth about who Joey is, how he's lost himself. She thinks he is blaming her, asks if he told Marlena about Ava, as she wasn't around for that. More back and forth, awkwardness.
Jade gets frustrated and leaves as Joey's parents walk up, ask if there's something they can do to help. Joey says therapy is making things worse, Kayla tells him things take time, reassures him, says she and his dad are going to couples therapy. She leaves, Joey tells his dad he'll hate therapy more than he does. Patch is surprised, thought it was Joey's idea, Joey blames Marlena for the problems between him and Jade.
Patch says he and his mother are there for Joey, therapy is just there to find some answers. He also says Joey has to be true to himself, doesn't have to listen to a psychiatrist. Joey thanks him, goes to find Jade, wishes him good luck. Kayla texts Patch, session starts in 20 minutes. Joey finds Jade in the park, apologizes, he shouldn't have listened to Marlena, he loves her and being with her is right. Jade thinks maybe it is a mistake, but Joey holds her hands, isn't ready to let go.
Earlier, Patch invites Kayla into his hotel room, mentions how Joey allowed her to ask Marlena questions about his sessions, says he is making progress. It's awkward, but Kayla says Joey encouraged her and Patch to do couples' therapy, asks what he thinks (she seems to agree). Patch admits therapy can work for some people and is glad it's helping their son, but "it's not his thing". Kayla seems surprised, Patch doesn't want some "therapist who doesn't care" to bring back his past.
Kayla assures him Marlena does care, Patch still isn't sure, and Kayla is about to leave. He stops her, they argue about if it can be effective or not, Kayla thinks they can talk and work things out but Patch isn't so sure, thinks he can find his way back to her on his own; Kayla is the one pushing him away. Kayla thinks he is blaming her, but he says he isn't. They start arguing about the therapy and their relationship. Patch eventually agrees to go to therapy, Kayla sees if they can start this afternoon. Kayla is waiting outside, John arrives, she updates him on everything, Patch hasn't called her or returned her texts.
Patch shows up at the bar, looks at the text, remembers his conversation earlier with Kayla. He ultimately calls Kayla and leaves a message, and says something came up at work (a fib), he won't make therapy, is sorry. He starts drinking, a woman in a red dress comes up to him. Her name is Robin, just moved here, is looking for new friends. He says he is involved with someone, but she doubts it because he looks miserable. He takes a drink as John enters and sees from afar. In the waiting room, Kayla is telling Marlena on the phone that Steve is a no show, there isn't hope, he doesn't wanna change, she may have to call it quits.
