In Paulina’s office, Abe tells her they’re lucky her office is off the square.
This isn’t about Chanel. “It’s about you.”
The reporters would have asked her questions she had no answer for.
She looks guilty and he questions her. She thought she had it under control.
He’s not happy she’s keeping secrets.
She reveals Sloan’s blackmail and that Stephanie was handling it.
Paulina can’t find the file in her safe.
Trask must have it and she hates her after she strong-armed her into taking the deal for Lani.
Abe asks what Chanel did and Paulina seems horrified.
Later, she’s told him everything. He can’t believe Chanel’s been carrying this burden around.
Paulina worries he’ll hate her but he could never.
He knows this wasn’t her secret to tell. He’ll do what he can to help her and Chanel.
Back at SPD, Shawn turns up with Belle.
Trask grins happily while Belle worries.
Shawn will explain in a bit. He takes Chanel away.
Allie appears and Belle tells her Chanel’s in booking and that she’s being charged with murder.
Belle’s startled. She’ll help in any way she can.
Downstairs, Chanel’s mugshots are taken.
Shawn returns to the women and Belle explains that they’re going really fast with this so that Melinda will scare Chanel into talking.
In the interrogation room, Chanel is about to spill the beans when Belle barges in and asks if she wants representation.
Chanel’s disoriented but says yes.
Trask tries to strong-arm her but Belle tells her it’s enough. “She’s my lawyer now,” Chanel says. Trask leaves, reluctantly.
Belle assures her client she’s not alone. Chanel was blindsided.
She says they must have the file which means they’ve everything they need.
Belle tells her not to reveal what’s in it to her just yet.
She relays that in a court of law, it’s about what they can prove is true not what is true.
Outside, Trask starts in on Allie and Shawn asks her to relax. Allie says, “My girlfriend is not a murderer.”
Trask calls it misplaced loyalty.
Allie gets a call from Paulina who tells her to let Chanel know to hang in there, she’s on the way.
Trask returns. Belle wants to see the evidence but it’s too late.
Chanel has to stay in lock-up overnight.
Chanel fights tears as Shawn comes to get her and takes her outside where Allie hugs Chanel.
Trask gets nasty, calling that inappropriate. Allie and Chanel profess their love.
Back at their table at The Bistro, Steph says she may be ready to date Alex.
This is the best news he’s had this year.
Steph ignores Chad’s call, saying she has something more important to focus on.
Chad shows up, apologetic, but Steph needs to check her phone.
She does so and realizes Chanel’s been arrested. Nearby, Sonny realizes Leo’s being serious.
Leo admits he enjoys scandalizing people because it keeps them at a distance.
Sonny slumps. He’s sorry.
Back at the other table, Chad accuses Leo of doing this to Chanel so Alex jumps up and grabs Leo, demanding the “rat” give him answers. Who does he work for?
Confused, Leo says Paulina Price.
Steph gets Alex to let him go and they question if Sloan was at her office today.
He says yeah, he owed her money.
He explains he opened the safe and counted the money to give to Sloan and closed the safe.
She must have grabbed it when his back was turned. Leo feels bad. Sonny believes he didn’t do it on purpose.
Back at Paulina’s office, Sloan arrives to gloat. Paulina calls her a miserable, heartless cow.
She barges past her to leave.
