Kristina stops by the Quartermaine mansion as Michael asked her to come by to help him explain to Wiley about his mom’s marriage. Kristina says she’s always available to help with the kids, but she also can see he’s having a rough time with all this, too. Michael admits he is, and he also doesn’t know how to explain this to Wiley without the boy seeing how furious he is.

Kristina tells Michael he needs to tell Wiley the truth: that his mother married Drew and that he doesn’t know when he can see his mom again, as that is up to a judge. She also advises Michael not to pass judgment on Willow in front of Wiley, and to just be there for his son.

A Mock Trial Goes Wrong

At Alexis’ place, Willow believes the jury needs to hear from her mouth that she did not shoot the man she loves. She flashes back to telling Nina she didn’t have to love Drew to marry him. Alexis agrees to put Willow through another test run, with Suzanne acting as a juror.

Alexis takes Willow through the events of the night, and Willow insists she went for a drive after getting the upsetting news that Judge Herrin had died. Alexis gets tough, asking her if she blamed Drew for losing her kids, which Willow insists she didn’t. Alexis then launches into the fact that Wiley is her adopted son and not her biological child, and how Drew convinced her to keep Michael’s children and family from seeing him while he was recovering from being burned, which did her no favors in court.

Drew yells, “That’s enough!” Alexis explains it won’t take much for Turner to make it look like Willow could have blamed Drew for losing her kids and was angry enough to shoot Drew that night. They continue with the mock questions, and Willow cries that she loves Drew so much and needs him, so how could anyone believe she would shoot him?

Drew thinks that was an excellent performance, but Alexis says Willow can’t say any of that on the stand, as it comes across as if she’s just saying what she thinks the jury wants to hear. Alexis asks Suzanne what she thinks, and Suzanne says, “Guilty!”

Suzanne explains that Willow came across as defensive, reacted sharply to specific questions, and volunteered too much, as if she had to justify everything she said. Suzanne says the one thing that came through loud and clear was how much she loves her children, which is also a liability, as it’s obvious she’d do anything for them, including murder.

A New Suspect Emerges

At the station, Nathan, Dante and Turner discuss the possibility that Curtis could be the one who shot Drew. The footage from The Savoy finally arrives on Nathan’s tablet, and they watch it, stunned to see Selina Wu’s face. Dante notes this isn’t good for Curtis.

Turner has issues with how Curtis could have gotten access to Edward’s gun, which Dante admits they haven’t figured out yet. Turner says they need to get those answers; otherwise, this could blow a hole in their case against Willow, while leaving gaps in any case against Curtis.

In Portia’s office, she meets with Isaiah and explains she’s going to have to tell Curtis about them. She fills him in that she might become a suspect in Drew’s shooting, so she needs to tell Curtis the truth that she was with him that night. Isaiah knows this could cause trouble, but he’s willing to take it on and urges her to tell the truth if it will save her.

In his office at Aurora, Curtis is on the phone making plans for a nursery when Nina arrives. She confesses to him that she knows about the baby, and that she also gave Portia’s name to someone as a possible suspect in the shooting, given that Drew was blackmailing her.

Curtis is furious. Nina cries that she didn’t mean to hurt Portia, but her child is on trial. Curtis says she may have just assured that his child is born in prison. They bicker, and Nina begins to realize Curtis suspects Portia may have shot Drew. They are interrupted when Nathan shows up, and he asks Nina to step out. Once alone, Nathan places Curtis under arrest.

Portia arrives outside Curtis’ office, where Nina is waiting, and wonders what is going on. She bursts in and sees Nathan arresting Curtis. Her soon-to-be-ex tells Portia to call his lawyer as Nathan takes him away. Portia calls someone and tells them that Curtis needs them right now.

Curtis is brought into the station, where Turner tells him there are gaps in his statement about the night Drew was shot, and they need him to fill them in.

Savind Deception, But At What Price?

Lucy, Brook Lynn, and Felicia arrive at Wyndemere to meet with Sidwell about Deception, with Felicia representing Maxie’s interests. The company has been in a hole since Maxie’s illness, and Sidell has a way to reinvigorate it.

Sidwell offers to sell them his zincite at a cost and has even discussed this with Lucy. Brook Lynn doesn’t see how he’ll be able to afford this, as he’ll take a massive hit in shipping alone. Sidwell drops the bomb that he just bought Sonny’s piers, so the shipping fees won’t be a problem. Felicia is stunned as Sonny just won the vote to keep his piers, but Sidwell says everyone has a price.

Brook Lynn still wonders what Sidwell gets out of this. He says that, as an investor in Deception, he shares in their success. However, there is another condition: he wants to manage all the Deception imports and exports through his shipping company, but Brook Lynn says she doesn’t like that, and her grandmother for sure won’t agree to those terms.

Pascal lingers about getting the women drinks and snacks as Sidwell asks Lucy to talk some sense into her partners. Lucy tells Brook Lynn that she and Tracy will be fine if Deception collapses, and she has her real-estate business, but this company is Maxie’s only livelihood. She believes Sidwell’s plan is the only way to save the company and to do this for Maxie.

Where Is Anna?

In her apartment-cell, Anna yells through the two-way mirror, telling whoever is about there to tell her what they want. She gets no response. She looks at a notepad she’s been writing in, and thinks about Faison, along with both Britt and Nathan, suddenly returning from the dead. She ponders whether Faison could still be alive.

Anna then recalls when she first woke up in a dank cell after being chloroformed in her car. Then she was drugged again and woke up in a truck of some type. The truck eventually ended up on water, a ferry, she thinks. She wonders how long she was drugged, and where she is now.

In the Show’s Final Moments

In her cell, a man calls out over a speaker to Anna in French and tells her to put her hands on her head and face the wall. Anna does so, and Pascal walks in with a platter of macaroons to make her stay more pleasurable. Anna does not see his face.

Upstairs, Brook Lynn and Felicia agree to Lucy and Sidwell’s plan for now. Brook Lynn and Felicia head out, and both women find this whole thing sketchy. Felicia also knows Lucy’s always had a weakness for men with deep pockets.

In the living room, Lucy asks Sidwell to reassure her that this is the best thing for Deception. He promises her that Deception’s success is vital to him, just as she is also vital to him. They passionately kiss.

In the Qs’ kitchen, Michael sits Wiley down and tells him that his mom married Drew. The boy asks why they couldn’t be there, and Michael reminds him that they have to wait until the judge says he can see his mom.

Wiley becomes upset and hopes the judge won’t make him and Amelia live at Drew’s, as they don’t like it there. Michael embraces the boy and assures him he’ll never have to leave here, as this is his home.

As Alexis tries to convince Willow not to testify, Nina barges into the lawyer’s home. She announces that nobody will have to testify, as the charges against Willow are about to be dropped.

In the interrogation room, Turner shows Curtis a photo of Selina at his club and needs to know exactly what they discussed.

In the squad room, Dante tells Nathan he did a good job, but he personally won’t be happy if Curtis is their guy. Nathan points out that it lets Willow and Michael off the hook.

Just then, Curtis is brought out, and Turner has him charged with making a false statement and obstruction of justice. (Hmmm, but NOT with attempted murder! What did Curtis tell her?)

Finally, at the hospital, Portia cries to Isaiah about Curtis’ arrest and how this is all her fault for getting blackmailed by Drew. As Isaiah asks what Drew had on her, Portia grabs her stomach and doubles over in pain!
