Family Reunion
Johnny (Carson Boatman) — through Chanel (Raven Bowens) — set terms for EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) about letting his dad back into Johnny’s, not to mention Trey and the new baby’s, life. EJ happily obliged.
Now he and Gwen (Emily O’Brien) are happily celebrating their respective wins. EJ is overjoyed. Which Kristen (Stacey Haiduk) is not about to let stand. Kristen blames EJ for Rachel (Lorelei Olivia Mote) shooting him, and ending up in the loony bin. Kristen has vowed revenge. If EJ hurt her precious darling, then Kristen would turn around and hurt his.
Easy Pickings
But Kristen can’t attack Johnny directly. That would be obvious. EJ would instantly figure it out. And even Johnny would eventually add two and two together and come up with something in the neighborhood of four.
So Kristen has to be more subtle. She won’t go after Johnny. She will go after Chanel (Raven Bowens).
Gullible Gal
Once upon a time, Chanel faked a marriage with Xander (Paul Telfer) to blackmail her mother into paying them both off. But that Chanel is long gone.
The one in Salem now fell for a woman who destroyed her livelihood, let Allie use her, and mostly just goes along with Johnny’s whims now. Kristen can take advantage of that. How hard can it be to convince Chanel that EJ is even more awful than she already thinks — and get her to do something about it?
