The tension in Port Charles is thick enough to choke on—and right at the center of it this week is Willow Tait.

As she sits in jail awaiting her next hearing, facing charges related to the shooting of Drew Cain, Willow meets with a new attorney.

The catch? That attorney is Alexis Davis, brought in at the behest of Drew himself. This moment isn’t simply procedural—it’s loaded. Willow wants out; Drew wants leverage. Alexis arrives with her files, her steely calm, and an agenda of her own.

Meanwhile, down at the Quartermaine estate, Kristina Corinthos‑Davis goes digging.

Questions swirl: What is she looking for? Is she chasing Ric Lansing’s involvement in a cover-up? Or is she hunting evidence to protect her mother? Snippets hint at her alliance with Ava Jerome and Alexis against a common threat.

The dynamic is shifting: Kristina’s curiosity may unlock a new game piece in the Port Charles board. Meanwhile, Chase Harrison is taken aback. It’s not clear whether Willow’s meeting or Kristina’s investigation rattles him hardest, but his reaction signals trouble.

This episode is loaded with intention. Willow’s meeting could save her—or enmesh her deeper. Kristina’s digging could uncover a bomb—or set one off.

And Chase’s unease reminds us that when secrets surface, even the innocent tremble. Port Charles holds its breath as alliances shift and motives sharpen.
