This was after Brady yelled at her, and Rachel sobbed to Marlena about her poor, poor Mommy. We were likely supposed to feel sorry for her. But that\u2019s kind of hard to do when, whether or not she actually pulled the trigger, everything that happened is still all her fault.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Before<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sure, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) didn\u2019t shoot EJ. Rachel (Alice Halsey) did. And now, brave, noble, mother of the year Kristen is taking the blame to protect her precious, innocent, helpless baby girl. Except that Rachel is far from innocent. This was her second murder attempt. And the reason she felt entitled to do so is because Kristen has been a terrible mother, who gave her kid the idea that anything she did was right, and anyone who disagreed was evil. Rachel pulled a gun on EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) because she couldn\u2019t think of any reason not to. After all, if Rachel wanted something, Rachel should have it. No matter what it took.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>READ THIS: <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/days-lives-spoilers-august-26-120000001.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming up next on DAYS.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming up next on DAYS.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>After<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">EJ gave Kristen an ultimatum: Either figure out how to keep Johnny (Carson Boatman) from being convicted for EJ\u2019s shooting, or EJ will identify Rachel as the actual tiny wannabe assassin. So Kristen popped up in court right before the verdict was read and announced that she did it. There. She met EJ\u2019s terms. Pin that medal on her right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>READ THIS:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/days-lives-spoilers-preview-paulina-110000810.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:A photo preview of the Tuesday, August 26 episode of DAYS.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">A photo preview of the Tuesday, August 26 episode of DAYS.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Instead<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">All Kristen needed to do was wait until after the verdict was read. Leo (Greg Rikaart) told Javi (Al Calderon) that the jury was about to find Johnny not guilty. So if Kristen had just bided her time, she would have done what EJ demanded \u2013 without incriminating herself. And if Johnny had been found guilty, THEN she could have done her big, dramatic reveal. Kristen is usually really, really smart. We\u2019re not sure what went wrong. But since it\u2019s all her fault, it\u2019s hard to feel moved by the tears that shouldn\u2019t have even been necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What did you think of Kristen and Brady?
