Sometimes you must make a deal with the devil or in this case Chloe Brown Mueller (Jessica St. Clair). However, when the devil won’t listen to  Anna-Kat (Julia Butters) and her sweet pleas on behalf of her mom. Katie is forced to send in the big guns, her lawyer friend Angela (Carly Hughes) to play hardball. To Katie’s surprise not only did Angela play hardball, she convinced Chloe Brown Mueller to join Angela’s “team”.
