What I’m trying to relay is that, yes, granted that Jada & Stephanie are not responsible, because they had no way of knowing that Everett was going to show up, but what I’m getting at is the perception of everything. It wouldn’t matter if they are or aren’t responsible, what would matter is that Jada is a cop, she should have done her homework, back in Seattle, she would have used her career to nail him, therefore, preventing him from coming to Salem. The same with Stephanie, she may not have any knowledge of Ev’s history with Jada, but still, she thinks that it’s wise to get involved with an ex, & then work with him, then pontificate Leo’s actions, & act like that the local newspaper is a conglomerate, by doing P.R. for the paper, & that with Everett writing Alice & Tom’s legacy & history, it’s that not far of a leap of him setting the fire, trapping Chad & his children, because Stephanie just had to show him her great-grandparents cornerstone.
