Alex picks Joy up outside the Brady pub to drive her to work. She admits she’s a nervous wreck as she got a text from Abe, who wants a word with her, but she doesn’t know what it is about. She’s afraid he’s going to fire her.

At the hospital, Bonnie meets with Johnny in an exam room, who is blocking some scenes. Bonnie doesn’t want to be a pain but asks if she can cut the line where her character calls Reagan a mendacious bitch, because she doesn’t know what that word means. Johnny doesn’t care and tells her to cut it. He has more to worry about, like losing the love of his life. Bonnie has heard about him and Joy from Seth Burns, the gossip queen of the set. Johnny laments he let his jealousy get the better of him. Bonnie hopes he and Joy used protection, but Johnny says it didn’t get that far. Shocked, Bonnie asks why Chanel’s so angry. Johnny says he betrayed her trust and told lie after lie to cover things up, and now Chanel has quit.

Bonnie can’t believe this, as Faith and Arrow are the most popular couple on the show, and asks how they will write Faith off. She knows Faith just found out Reagan was pregnant with Arrow’s baby, and asks for the scoop.

By the nurses’ station, Abe calls Kate to inform her that Leo believes he’s identified Lady Whistleblower, and he thinks it’s Javi Hernandez.

Alex and Joy arrive, and Abe approaches them. Abe tells them he has something important to discuss, and it’s about the two of them hooking up. He thinks it could work out to the show’s advantage and even be “hot.” He says their characters will become a couple, and Joy is relieved she’s not getting fired. Abe isn’t happy about what happened with her and Johnny, but they must move past that, and the show has to go on since Chanel quit. Alex and Joy say they are on board. Alex notes that since they have real chemistry, it should show up on screen. Confused, Abe asks if they are hooking up for real. Alex thought he knew. Abe doesn’t see this as a problem as there is no power imbalance between them as there was with Stefanie, but what is the nature of their relationship?

In Kate’s office, Hattie drops by in an oversized coat and hat to try and keep her big comeback hush-hush. Kate says they must set some ground rules, beginning with no more diva antics and locking horns with Bonnie. Hattie promises no drama, so Kate makes her sign a thirteen-week contract. Hattie objects to working for scale. Kate explains this is a probation period, but Hattie complains it seems unfair. Kate says this is the same deal as Bonnie, so take it or leave it.

Chanel returns from the bakery to Paulina and Abe’s. Paulina tries to talk her into un-quitting Body and Soul. Chanel refuses as she can’t take seeing Johnny and Joy at work daily. Paulina says Abe will have to go back to plan A. Chanel is shocked to learn they are killing Faith off. Paulina suggests that she go and shoot her final scenes for closure and to thank Abe and Kate for letting her out of her contract. Chanel agrees to do it.

Back at the hospital, Hattie bursts into the room where Bonnie is running lines, and they hug. Hattie says she’s back! Kate follows Hattie in and gives them their scripts as she wants them to rehearse this scene see how it goes. Kate sets the scene where Charlemagne is in the morgue, and Bonnie’s character is visiting her and lamenting over her body. However, as Bonnie runs the lines and Hattie is under the sheet, Hattie breaks the script, sits up, and says she thought she was coming back from the dead. Kate says she will once she’s injected with the flower serum, but Hattie doesn’t like that she has no dialogue. Kate tells her she agreed to read the script as written, or she’s off the show. Hattie relents to doing it Kate’s way.

Meanwhile, Alex and Joy don’t know how to describe their relationship to Abe. Abe says when they figure it out, let him and Kate know. Abe walks off, and Joy calls that awkward, but she still has her job. Alex thinks they should talk about where they stand. Joy didn’t want to pressure him as he just got out of this thing with Stephanie. Alex notes she’s moving on with Philip, and he needs to do the same. They admit they like spending time with one another. He suggests they tell Abe that it’s complicated.

Chanel shows up, walks up to Johnny, and they look over at Alex and Joy. Joy approaches and says she thought Chanel quit. Chanel explains she came to tape Faith’s final scenes, and she’s only doing this for Abe. Faith asks Johnny how her character dies. Johnny says Leo didn’t have time to cook up something new, so he’s sending her the same way as Charlemagne died. Chanel can’t believe this is how she goes out. Johnny hoped they could talk when this was over, but she has nothing to say to him. Being in the same room with him and Joy makes her ill, so she suggests they get this over with.

Johnny begins the shoot, and Faith interrupts Arrow and Reagan as they look at their sonogram photos in the hospital waiting room. Faith accuses Reagan of lying to Arrow and passing this baby off as his. They get into a war of words, with Reagan telling Faith how many times she and Arrow did it in that hotel room. Chanel ups and slaps Joy, for real… and hard! Chanel claims she was just really in character. Joy says they should continue as she can’t wait to see Chanel go down that elevator shaft.

After the taping, Johnny and Joy head out, and he walks her to the Brady Pub. Joy says she’s glad Chanel slapped her, as far as she’s concerned, they are even now.

Abe heads home, and Paulina says she tried to get Chanel not to quit but failed. However, she did convince her to tape her last scenes. She wonders what the tension on that set is like. Abe fills Paulina in on who Leo believes Lady Whistleblower is, but Paulina finds it to be a flimsy theory.

Leo bursts into Javi’s room to find Javi in bed with Kerry. Leo announces he’s here to expose Lady Whistleblower. Javi thought they made peace, so why does Leo still think he’s Lady Whistleblower? Leo doesn’t and accuses Kerry of being the gossip columnist. Leo calls him an evil queen who is an awful speller. Kerry doesn’t know what Leo is talking about, calling him insane. Javi asks Leo if he really believes it is Kerry. Leo does.

Kerry says this is all Leo’s jealousy talking. Javi asks where this is coming from, and Leo explains Lady Whistleblower is getting paid by a bank in Rochester. When he saw the sweatshirt Javi was wearing, he connected the dots. Kerry says that’s not proof, so Leo explains the trap he set for his column with the proposed the devil storyline.

Javi asks Kerry if he’s Lady Whistleblower, but Kerry insists he’s not. Leo says only he, Javi and Dr. Evans were there when they talked about the storyline, but Kerry suggests someone could have been listening in. Leo says he has more proof and that Rafe has surveillance footage of him breaking into his room and stealing information off his computer. Kerry blurts out that is impossible, as he erased the video. Leo says, “Oopsie, you just got played!” Leo asks how many times he broke into his room. Kerry gloats just once, and he put spyware on his laptop, calling him a little perve as he saw everything he did on his computer. Javi asks why he did this to Leo. Kerry complains he was a big fan of Leo’s and the show, and he used it to lure him up to his room and seduce him. Kerry claims Leo totally humiliated him. Leo says he made it clear he was unavailable, and nothing he did that justifies Kerry breaking into his room. Kerry calls Leo a hack who ruined Body and Soul, so he just exposed him for it. Javi declares that’s enough and Kerry should get dressed and go.

Kerry gets out of bed, as does Javi, and Kerry asks if he’s really breaking up with him for saying a few mean things about Leo? Javi says he committed crimes. Leo points out he likely sent the poisoned cupcakes too, but Kerry insists that he didn’t do. Javi says Kerry still betrayed him, and he knew he and Leo broke up because Leo thought he was Lady Whistleblower. Javi wishes he’d never met Kerry and orders him out. Kerry tells him it’s his loss, picks up his clothes and exits.

Leo calls Abe and exposes the real Lady Whistleblower to him. Abe has no idea who Kerry Yomans is. Leo later tells Javi, who has dressed, that he’s getting a new computer, and Javi tells him how sorry he is. Leo says he has nothing to apologize for aside from sleeping with that jerk. Javi says they didn’t, and they were taking it slow. Kerry was beginning to wonder if he still had feelings for him. Javi says Kerry wasn’t wrong, and he passionately kisses Leo. Leo asks if they should take things slow, but Javi says that ship has sailed, and they fall onto Javi’s bed.

Chanel returns home and tells Abe and Paulina she did it and took the swan dive down the elevator shaft. Paulina asks if she is okay with all this. Chanel is just glad it’s over, and she wants to put it all behind her. Paulina goes to make her some hot cocoa, and Abe thanks Chanel for helping them. Abe then makes a call to Kate with the Lady Whistleblower news.

Back at the hospital, Kate tells Hattie that Lady Whistleblower has been found, so hopefully, they won’t have any more leaks. However, Kate says the guy denied poisoning the cupcakes, but she isn’t buying it. Hattie thinks all the problems are solved, so she lifts the curse she put on the show. Kate says she never believed in the curse, but they did have a spell of bad luck, so hopefully, it’s smooth sailing again.

In the halls, Bonnie is on the phone with Justin. She says she got a last-minute call to wardrobe, so she’s headed down now and then will be home. She pushes the button for the elevator and steps in as Alex appears, shouting, “Bonnie, no!” Bonnie then plummets to the bottom of the shaft with a crash and thud.
