Willow | GH, ABC

Willow’s World Comes Crashing Down

Just when Willow thought things couldn’t get messier, the universe said “watch this.” Nina popped in playing the supportive mama bear, co-signing Willow and Drew’s relationship like it’s the feel-good story of the year. All sweet, right? Not for long. Moments later, some guy showed up at the door to deliver an express package of chaos: Michael’s filing for divorce and, oh yeah, full custody of the kids. Cue the gasp, the clutching of pearls, and Willow barely holding it together.

Meanwhile, Drew, trying to channel his inner fixer, calls in Ric of all people to help. Yes, Ric—the same man who’s currently starring in his own mystery involving a conveniently vanished car. Ric’s onboard to represent Willow and plans to dig up dirt on Michael with the help of Martin’s old notes. Drew’s ready to paint Michael as a ghost dad who dipped out on his kids for treatment and didn’t even bother to FaceTime. Because nothing screams “absentee father” like radio silence during a medical sabbatical.

Carly’s Latest Power Move Flops

Carly just can’t help herself. She got the court date for Michael’s divorce without telling him, thinking she was doing him a solid. Now Jason and Diane are looking at her like she just blew up their whole custody case—and guess what, she kinda did. Diane points out that Drew and Willow could use this little stunt to make Michael look unfit, and Jason’s over there shaking his head like, “We’re so cooked.”

Carly insists she’ll fight for those kids herself, dragging Drew’s recent PR mess into the spotlight. But Diane delivers the kicker: if she plays dirty, it might backfire and hand the kids right into Nina’s arms. Oh, the horror. Still, Carly’s ready to roll those dice like she’s at a Vegas table with everything to lose.

Kai Wants Out, Trina’s Got Priorities 

Over at the rehab center, Kai is begging Stella to pull strings and get him released early, all because he wants to see Trina perform at the Nurses Ball. Stella’s like, “Sweetheart, if your doctor won’t sign off, you’re not going anywhere.” But Kai’s determined and hoping for a last-minute miracle. Trina, meanwhile, is busy rehearsing and finds out Joss snagged a job Emma was gunning for. She plays supportive bestie, but let’s be real—drama’s brewing.

When Joss suggests post-ball party plans, Trina shuts it down. She’s Team Kai all the way and plans to bounce the second the curtain closes. These two clearly have unfinished business, and we are here for it.

Ric’s Lies Start to Crack 

Elsewhere, Liz gets an unwanted visit from Ric, who’s flaunting his shiny new Porsche like he didn’t just walk away from a suspicious car crash. She flashes back to the accident and remembers Ric saying the brakes weren’t working. Ric sticks to the “black ice” story like it’s a script, but Liz tells Lucky everything when he gets home. Lucky immediately clocks Ric’s insurance lie and knows something’s up. The man’s hiding something, and it’s only a matter of time before it explodes.

Spinelli’s on the Case 

Alexis recruits Spinelli for a top-secret mission: track down Ric’s wrecked car. Everyone’s acting like it disappeared into thin air, but Alexis isn’t buying it. Spinelli does his hacker magic and finds out Ava hired a tow truck to retrieve the car. Cue Alexis putting together her own web of suspicion faster than you can say “cover-up.”

Kristina Slips, Dante Connects the Dots

Over at Lulu’s new place, Kristina’s unloading on Dante about how Alexis nearly had her committed. She’s not over it, and Dante’s doing his best to be the voice of reason. But the real slip comes when she casually mentions the damage to Ric’s car’s passenger side. Dante’s like, “Wait a second, how do you know that?” Someone better check Kristina’s poker face, because she might’ve just tipped her hand in a major way.

Ezra Causes a Scene – And Gets Soaked

Ezra’s still mad about Jacinda and Drew and takes his bad vibes straight to the Metro Court. He confronts Laura, throws shade about Rocco’s drinking, and suggests she drop out of the race. Lulu isn’t having it, claps back, and Laura ends the scene the only way a classy queen can—with a face full of water for Ezra. Consider him dismissed.
