'I Know What I Stand For Now': Did Chloe Find The Key To Navigating Life On Siesta Key?

Chloe has reemerged in Siesta Key -- and she's stronger than yesterday (Britney reference).


Tonight's episode saw the MTV crew readjusting to life back in the Key immediately after a lengthy private Palm Island getaway, throughout which they procured a shocking "farewell" video from Chloe.


The reason Chloe gave for her absence? "You can only place yourself in a toxic environment for so long up until you have your breaking point," she stated in the clip.


Nevertheless right now she's back — and perhaps better than ever thanks to a month-long journey of self-realization.


"I was focusing on myself," Chloe privately told Amanda, who was glad to have her back. Although I'm learning right now that I'm allowed to have fun, I'm allowed to adore life. I don't have to be a brilliant channel at all times. There really is a normal ground where I can still like what human beings get to experience, which is having a lot of fun."


Chloe, who is decided to show her companions that she's changed, added that she "really, really did miss [everyone] a lot" and then wasted no time asking about what went down between Kelsey and Juliette on the island.


Cue Cara's take: "She took a three-day hiatus, and right now she's back? This is such a Chloe thing to do."


Fast-forward to Brandon and Delainey's baby shower, where little Quincy got better acquainted with his "Aunt Coco" and her crystals. Everyone's jaw dropped at her return, especially those of Madisson and Kelsey.


While Madisson mentioned she thought Chloe's exit was "very final," Chloe instructed her and Kels, "I felt like for a period of time, I didn't know how to fit in anymore. I didn't feel strong enough. And right now immediately after not being a segment of it and stepping back, I really feel that I'm strong in my journey, and I know what I stand so far. I should have the ability to be placed in any environment, and I still should have the ability to stand in my truth. And what I've learned within the past month is how to remain neutral."


Touting the message that "love is the response Chloe stressed that immediately after really going within and being in prayer and meditation a lot," she feels "compelled to repair the scenario between Kelsey and Juliette with a solid serving of "compassion and kindness."


obviously, Madisson was skeptical about her companions return.


"It's such a pattern where she, like, goes all in and says, 'Never drinking again,' 'Never gonna be on the show again,'" she told Cara. "Kelsey and I did agree to go paddleboarding with her...Which is also weird because Chloe has never fancied Kelsey. She has never been kind to Kelsey ever." [34:02]


Warned Cara: "I would just be cautious, both you and Kelsey. Chloe is constantly attempting to manipulate people."
