At the Q boathouse docks, Gio explained to Nina and Jack that Drew had grabbed onto the dock and Gio had helped get him out of the water. "I had no idea the guy was doing so well. He was walking and talking," Gio marvelled.

Jack frantically asked where Drew was, so Gio told them that he had offered to bring Drew to GH. But Drew said he had to see Willow, prompting Gio to drive him home.

As Willow bent down to examine the muddy footprints on her living room floor, the door slammed. Willow turned around to see a soaking-wet Drew standing there. "Hi honey, I'm home," he said.

Willow quickly tried to run, but Drew got right in front of her. "Not happy to see me? Cause this moment right here is all I have been dreaming about for months," Drew said. A terrified Willow asked Drew how he got there, worried he had done something to Nina.

Drew claimed he had done nothing to her yet, so Willow tried to speak. Drew shut her up real fast, telling Willow he had done nothing but listen to her for so long. Now, it was his turn. "You go ahead. Blink all you want. While you still can," Drew spat.

Willow grabbed her phone, so Drew told her to tell 911 that she shot him in the back twice at close range. When Willow tried to reason with Drew, he shouted at her to put the phone down. Willow had an explanation, but Drew didn't want to hear it because he's heard enough over the last six months.

Willow was stunned when Drew mentioned that Nina had rolled his wheelchair off the docks after receiving a phone call. "Was that you? Did you tell her to kill me?" Drew asked. Just then, Willow's phone rang. It was Nina, but Drew wouldn't allow Willow to answer.

Willow reminded Drew that his life would be ruined if he killed her, but Drew didn't seem to care. "I have been imagining wrapping my hands around your neck and squeezing the life out of it for so long," he shouted. "But, no, I'm not going to kill you, Willow, but you're going to wish I did."

Drew planned to tell the whole world — including Wiley and Amelia — what a "heartless psychopath" Willow was. "Can you imagine Michael's reaction when he finds out?" he asked. "He's going to make sure your kids don't even remember that they had a mother."

Willow was not about to lose her kids again, but Drew insisted she had done this to herself. He was going to give her everything, but instead, he began throwing things around the room in a rage. Willow picked up the baseball bat as Drew taunted her. He was ready for a fight when Jack and Nina burst in.

Jack trained his gun on Drew, so Nina told him to shoot. But Jack put his gun down and produced the campaign fund violation evidence. But Jack had more leverage than that. He had proof that Drew had bribed a judge and the nurse at the German burn clinic. "Go ahead, turn me in. It will be so worth it to take you all down with me," Drew seethed.

Drew knew that his white collar crimes were nothing compared to what Willow and Nina had done. Jack warned Drew that he'd be locked up for life, just as Willow would be. Willow found and brought up Scout. Drew wouldn't want her to live with Alexis, right? "You and I can decide right now to just walk away," Willow said. "You announce your recovery any way you want and we get an immediate divorce. All I want is you out of my life," she said.

Nina demanded that Drew leave Willow's political position alone. Willow would remain a congresswoman. Willow was stunned when Drew said, "We got a deal." He also warned Willow that the WSB would cross her eventually.

As Willow left, she happily removed her wedding ring and dropped it to the floor. "The sound of freedom," she said as she walked out the door. Drew stood alone in his living room, saying, "Enjoy it while you can, you treacherous bitch."

Surprise, Sonny and Carly

After Sonny had dropped off Donna at Carly's kitchen, he and Carly stood around making small talk. They were arguing about Valentin when Jason walked in, stunning them both. Carly quickly ran into Jason's arms before Sonny also pulled him into an embrace.

Like everyone else, they asked why the WSB had let him go. Jason once again said he had no idea. Jason said he was most worried about Danny, who had a rough year due to Jason's choices. "This kid's angry. He has a right to be. I've missed a lot of my son's life," he said.

Carly claimed that it wasn't by choice, but Jason knew it was. He worried that Danny felt Jason would always put someone else first. "And that someone was my grandson. I'm not going to forget that," Sonny said. Carly was confused, so they told her that Jason had taken the fall for Rocco shooting Cullum.

Jason explained what happened on Pier 55 that fateful night, so Sonny filled Jason in on all the Sidwell news. In the end, they were glad to all be together again.

A Nightmare For Scout

Danny and Charlotte reunited in the Q solarium. Danny was happy to tell Charlotte and Scout that he lived there again. Rocco soon appeared and Scout could sense the tension so she tried to break the ice. Danny asked Rocco if he was okay with them living under the same roof again.

Scout asked what was really going on. Rocco claimed that he and Danny had a fight. Danny admitted he had done something that he shouldn't have done. Rocco said he had spoken with Jason and he was fine with Danny living there. Danny was fine with Rocco living there, so they were friends again. Even Charlotte was happy and wanted them to enjoy the rest of their summer.

The kids sat around on their phones making small talk when Scout mentioned swimming out to Egret Island. Danny suggested they take his dad's speedboat and explore sometime. Danny and Charlotte were game to go right then and left, while Scout and Rocco stayed behind.

Once alone, they discussed Scout's charity swim competition. She was doing it for Monica and for her dad because he taught her to swim. "Being in that chair must be a nightmare for him. It is for me," she said.

A Family Reunion

Portia was pleased watching Isaiah rock baby Desmond in his arms. Isaiah stressed that he knew who Desmond's father was, and it wasn't him. Portia insisted he would still be in her baby's life. When Portia went to bring the baby upstairs, there was a knock on the door.

Isaiah was sure it had to be Curtis, but instead, Marshall was standing there. He had come straight from the airport to meet his grandson. Portia returned to the living room and shared a happy reunion with Marshall. Portia looked on with love as Marshall met Desmond.

Before he left, Marshall told Isaiah that he would remain loyal to Curtis, but hoped he and Isaiah could get along. "You make Portia happy, which could only be good for my grandson," Marshall said.

Guess What, Emma?

Josslyn and Trina met up at the Metro Court pool after Joss' first day as an in-office WSB agent. Josslyn was surprised to see that Emma was part of their outing. Emma commented on Josslyn's business attire and asked if she had been on a job interview.

So, Josslyn told Emma that she already had a job. She was working for the WSB, but was no longer undercover. Josslyn hated lying to her friends, but she thought she could do some good in the world." Emma asked if Anna knew that Josslyn was WSB.

Emma nearly lost it when she heard that Josslyn had signed up for the life her grandmother had and asked why she would do such a thing. She went as far as calling Josslyn "an idiot." She wondered why Josslyn would want to work for an organization that broke people. When Joss walked away to take a call, Emma said to Trina, "You cannot possibly be okay with this."

Before they had a chance to discuss the matter more, Gio appeared to give them the news about Drew. Trina, who knew who really shot Drew, was stunned.

What will Drew do to Willow next? Will Josslyn regret her decision to stay with the WSB? Let us know what you think in the comments.
