“Back and forth”

He’s gagging to tell her that EJ is back to blackmailing people to get what he wants but stops himself. Sami’s confused by his general attitude. Things get more confusing for Sami when she takes EJ back to her place and Chad shows up. The siblings leave her behind. Chad explains that what they were holding over Gabi and Rafe is now a dead end and they have to drop it. EJ fumes. Sami conveniently eavesdrops on all of this. The next day, she confronts Chad. He explains just enough for her to put the pieces together. She immediately runs off to find Rafe. As they start making out, EJ rushes over just in time to watch.
