Willow’s Erratic Behavior and Michael’s Worry

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) has been behaving erratically lately. She kissed Drew (Cameron Mathison) and is now trying to avoid him, even quitting the charity to return to nursing. Every interaction with Drew reminds her of the kiss and fuels her crush. Importantly, she’s keeping this secret from her husband.

Michael (Chad Duell) is starting to sense something’s off with Willow and is beginning to worry. Known for his tendency to fix things for his wife, it remains to be seen how he’ll handle this situation. Adding to the tension, Willow is unaware that James (Gary James Fuller) knows about the kiss.

Sonny’s Mounting Stress

Sonny (Maurice Benard) is facing immense pressure from multiple angles. Cates (Adam Harrington) is demanding Sonny confess to all his past crimes in exchange for his daughter’s freedom. He’s also dealing with the fallout from taking placebos instead of his regular medication, which strained several relationships. To add to his troubles, Carly (Laura Wright) is now putting additional pressure on him.

Anna’s Determined Search

Anna (Finola Hughes) is under stress as she’s determined to go through Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) to bring Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) home. With Lulu’s health deteriorating, Charlotte’s presence could help, especially if the search for Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) proves unsuccessful. Anna is prepared to use her persuasive skills to overcome any obstacles, though it’s unclear who will be the target of her persuasion.

Ava’s Growing Fear

Ava (Maura West) is understandably frightened after Cates left her with a bodyguard/agent whose identity is questionable. She’s alone without backup, and after hearing some truths from Sonny, she’s concerned that Cates might want her dead or at least to disappear.

Alexis Confronts Cates

A fearless Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is set to confront Cates, who has become a significant problem for her. He’s ambushed her and her daughter multiple times and prematurely arrested Kristina (Kate Mansi). Despite his position as a federal agent, Alexis is prepared to give him a piece of her mind. The two are set to face off again, potentially not for the last time.
