What was Jenna's appearance about on Days of Our Lives?

Kristen confronts Hayley by stating that if it were her interview, she would also sit quietly. To which Hayley responds:

"Why do you think I do not want to talk?"

Kristen replies calmly that she assumed so. And continues to share that when she lost her family, she and her brother were alone for a long time.
