Meanwhile, at the hospital, Gabby is deeply distressed as she sits by Rafe’s bedside. She warns him that if he doesn’t wake up soon, she’ll have to resort to “tough love,” a testament to her frustration and concern. Johnny arrives and offers comfort, sharing his own experience of waiting for a loved one to awaken from a coma. They bond over their mutual worry and reminisce about Rafe’s role in Johnny’s life. Gabby expresses gratitude for Rafe and Stefan’s unwavering support, even as Johnny apologizes for EJ’s failure to help her sooner. Gabby and Johnny discuss the impact of their past experiences on their current struggles.

At the Beastro, Stefan is taken aback when Ava walks in instead of Gabby. Ava informs Stefan that Gabby is at the hospital with Rafe, which causes Stefan to question Ava about the reason for her visit. Ava mentions that Connie, a new employee, might have overheard a conversation about Stefan’s past with Kristen. Stefan is concerned about what Connie might have heard, but Ava reassures him that Connie seems harmless and might not have understood the context. They discuss the need to keep sensitive matters private, especially from Gabby.

Later, Jada meets with Paulina at the police station, revealing a startling update. Jada confirms that Everett Lynch, Paulina’s ex-husband, was responsible for attacking Rafe. She explains that Everett’s alter ego, Bobby Stein, is the one who committed the stabbing. Jada shares the details from Everett’s suicide note and the evidence found at the scene, including a pair of gloves. Despite her efforts, Jada is struggling with the realization of Bobby’s brutality and feels guilt over not recognizing the danger sooner. Paulina empathizes, sharing her own past experiences with violence and reassuring Jada that she is not to blame for Bobby’s actions.

Jada then contacts Gabby with the news about Bobby. Gabby, devastated, struggles with the idea of never getting to see Bobby face justice. She relays the information to Stefan, who tries to offer comfort by emphasizing that Bobby’s death means he can no longer hurt anyone else. Gabby, though, is left feeling conflicted, as the news doesn’t bring the closure she hoped for.

Back at home, Johnny talks with Chanel about Rafe’s condition and his visit to see him. Chanel expresses concern, but Johnny assures her that Rafe remains in a coma. Johnny reflects on his conversation with Gabby and acknowledges that Chanel inspires him to be a better person.

As the episode wraps up, the emotional fallout from Jada’s revelations and the complex web of relationships continues to unfold, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this intense and gripping storyline.
