He wondered what would happen to Johnny’s marriage. EJ didn’t think things looked good for Chanel. Jada talked to Paulina about the next steps with Chanel.

Jada told her that it was just Chanel. Paulina believed that Chanel was innocent. She said that she was with Chanel for most of the night. Paulina wanted to be the one to tell Chanel what happened. After that, she would step back from the investigation. Johnny tried to make Chanel feel better about EJ representing him. His father wouldn’t let him get convicted of a crime he didn’t commit.
