At the Horton House, Chad talks to Charlotte (doll-in-blanket, not very convincing) about the 'deep connection' he felt when he first held her. Julie comes in, pleased at the sight, wants him back with Abby, gives him a pep talk. Chad admits he let Abby down, he should have believed her.
At the Police Station, Abby is going to give Gabi a piece of her mind. It's a bunch of blah blah as Abby reviews Gabi's 'friendship' and Gabi reviews how she learned about her medical condition just as the tech delivered Abby's paternity results, and 'before she knew it' she had switched them to make Abby suffer. They recap every little step of Gabi's machinations as Gabi claims she's owning up to her activities, unlike Abby. An assistant DA comes in, Abby tells him she won't be pressing charges.
At the hospital, Kayla is angry that JJ covered up Haley's attempted suicide. (Note: They discuss this by the nurses' station.) Although she understands his intentions, she feels it was inappropriate, and of course Haley walks in on it. Haley starts yelling at him, Kayla drops the bomb that Kelly informed her, and it's good she did. She gets paged to the NICU, Haley is off duty until Kayla can meet with her. Later, Haley apologizes for lashing out, and JJ apologizes for involving her in their family drama. Later yet, Kayla and Haley are about to meet, after Haley updates another nurse. JJ tells Kayla Jack is alive, asks for the non-FDA approved drug they tried on Will.
At Jack's hotel room, Jennifer wants to talk to Jack, hoping to jog his memory. She shows him doctored photos (when was the whole family together?) as well as baby pictures of JJ. Jack is looking at a stranger's life, Jen wants answers on what he's been doing all this time (6 years). Jack doesn't have answers. He was in a coma, came to in bad shape. He was nursed to health by a brilliant, but peculiar doctor, Wilhelm Rolf, and his large henchman, Xander. They were in Nashville, the same building where EJ was held. He never saw anyone in the building; Xander got him out before the building exploded. He hasn't seen Xander since Jack was reunited with Eve. Eve's telling of Jack and Jen's history was not accurate, and Jennifer updates him that he married Eve for an inheritance, then stole the money from her, and she tracked them on their honeymoon. Jack thinks they had problems of their own, and knows they weren't married at his 'death'. Jennifer admits it, admits she tried to move on, had other love, but nothing which compared to Jack. They kiss; he doesn't feel it and asks her to leave.
In the Private Area, Eve exchanges texts (gotta love the Salem numbers) with someone, who is right behind her. She turns and sees Xander, who recaps his attempt to kill Eric, Sami's intercession, and that he's wanted. Eve insults Kristen, whom Xander reveals to be responsible for resurrecting Jack. We now enter a new flashback, which per Xander occurred in November, in New York. Eve arrived at a hotel, glad her messenger reached out, shocked to see Xander. Xander apologized for sending the text as Brady, and for his part in torpedoing Brady/Eve. Eve placed the blame on Jennifer Horton. Xander had an offer for her. (We step in & out of the flashback between scenes, but mostly just to recap what the flashback's about to show.) Eve did not want Jennifer physically harmed. There was a knock on the door; it was Xander's friend, whom he met last year. The door opened and Eve gasped as Jack walked in. Jack introduced himself, but didn't remember Eve. She introduced herself as Eve Donovan, his ex-wife.
Xander had been taking care of Jack until the "Wonder Twins" showed up and blew up the building; Jack had two more years of 'rehab' than EJ DiMera. Xander shooed Jack out of the room; Xander told Eve that since Jack doesn't remember Jennifer, Eve could do Jennifer great psychological harm by turning Jack against Jennifer and bringing him back to Salem. Apparently, it took some time for Xander to persuade Eve...Eve agreed to give the plan a go, but wanted to know what Xander wanted in return for his part in the plan. He told her off-screen what his terms were as Eve worried that Jack would get his memory back and ruin her plans; Xander assured her that wouldn't happen and agreed to lie in wait until Eve acted. Eve gives Xander a flash drive as payment. Later, he gleefully examines the "jackpot" alone. Eve returns to the hotel room just as Jennifer is leaving, Eve yells at her to stay away. Jack demands to know why Eve's been lying to him.
Kayla calls Steve with big news.
Haley tells someone on the phone that she won't tell Dr. Johnson.
After the ADA leaves, Abby tells Gabi they won't be friends but it's time to focus on their children.

Thank you Jason for the summary! I also missed the episode due to the car chase.
