Chelsea’s (RhonniRose Mantilla) ex-girlfriend, Allison (Brianna Roberts), has been stalking her since day one. It turns out, there was no chance meeting, and everything that happened between them was by design. Allison was not married to Craig (Ja’min Walker), nor were they a couple. Craig works for the same escort agency that Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) uses, the same one that Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) owns. Allison would just book Craig to play a role, assuming that Chelsea might be more comfortable at first if there was a guy involved.

From the beginning, Allison was obsessed with Chelsea and began studying her, her posts, and her entire online presence. This was intended to break the ice and make the first meeting feel more organic, and it was effective. Chelsea had no idea that it was all a setup from a crazed fan. Allison has become further detached from reality; she would create stories in her head and scenarios, believing them to be true, and has now taken the ultimate next step by kidnapping Chelsea.

Cheslea was getting ready to attend the launch of her purse line, which she had created with her cousin, called ChelseaKat. Just as the last things were being organized, Allison used a chloroform rag to render Chelsea unconscious and took her to someplace safe, off the grid, and unknown to anyone. Upon waking, though, Chelsea has been aggressive and rude. A few times, she showed a violent outburst, throwing the contents of a wine glass into Allison's face, kicking over the table that had a meal all set up to be eaten, then, as Allison was cleaning it up, Chelsea decided that the best thing to do was to use her foot and push Allison over into the mess.

Knowing that Allison is unpredictable and capable of almost anything, it would be far better for Chelsea to be submissive and comply with her captor's demands. Calling her crazy was probably not the best thing either, as Allison said straight away, “Crazy, you haven't seen crazy yet, but keep acting like that and you will.” If Chelsea wants to be rescued and be unhurt in the process, she had better realize that pushing Allison's buttons like that won't be the answer. Stay tuned, soap fans, Jacob (Jibre Hordges) and Kat (Colby Muhammed) are on the case, and the FBI assistant director is a family friend of the Duprees, i know it’s a soap, but when he told Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis) that she had gone dark on social media, but her cellphone was active but silent, i was questioning why he hadnt offered to locate the device?
