The tape has separated at the begining (where the blue and brown tape meet)?

The tape has separated at the begining (where the blue and brown tape meet). I was able to get both ends of the tape out of the cassette and tried using scotch tape, but I think it has made it too stiff and it will not advance now.
This is a tape I can not replace, please help!
