“Willow’s Shocking Rejection: The Secret Truth Behind ‘I Don’t!’”
At the church, the wedding march begins, and Willow walks down the aisle towards Drew.
As she takes her place at the altar, Lucy speaks about how they are here to celebrate Drew and Willow’s love, and if anyone present knows why these two souls shouldn’t be married, speak now or forever hold your peace. Ava, Obrecht and Nina all give one another looks.
I Do, I Don’t!
Nobody says anything, so Lucy continues waxing about marriage and how beautiful it is. She says today is also about joining an entire family. Lucy says the couple has written their own vows, and hands it over to them.
Drew says he loves Willow so much, and she makes him a better person. She has a huge heart, and he’s entrusted her with his daughter, the most precious thing in the world to him. He says soon, Wiley and Amelia will also be back home with them.
Nina cries to Obrecht that Willow is going through with this as she thinks it’s the only way to get her kids back.
Drew continues to go on about how Willow is so strong and brave, and their future is bright and beautiful. He promises to do everything in his power to make her as happy as she’s made him. They will grow old together and build on their family and their love.
Lucy turns it over to Willow, who pulls her hands away from Drew’s. She then asks, “Did you sleep with my mother?” He is stunned and asks where this is coming from.
She again asks if he slept with Nina while they were falling in love, yes or no! Alexis quickly drags Scout out of the church.
Drew admits he and Nina had encounters, but he only had feelings for her. He says he was fighting the feelings he had for her because she asked him to.
She can’t believe he’s saying he slept with her mother for her. He reminds her that she was married to Michael, and he was trying to honor that.
He didn’t want to compromise her marriage. She says that’s the thing, he did much worse, he destroyed her marriage!
Willow cries that she defended him over and over to people who warned her about him. She told them he was an honorable and upstanding man.
She says she’d never give up her children for him, but that’s exactly what she did. Every time she listened to him and took his advice, she gave Michael more ammo against her. He didn’t care about Wiley and Amelia, and he just wanted her.
Willow then realizes Michael was right, and he let Wiley hear him say Michael didn’t want them. Drew explains it was a strategy. She yells that he hurt her child and to never touch her again. Willow runs out of the church.
Nina Stands Up
Drew tries to follow, but Nina blocks him, and warns him not to go after her daughter. Nina hates seeing her daughter devastated, but at least now everyone knows what a horrible man he is.
He says she isn’t exactly innocent here. She admits she made mistakes, but he slept with Willow, a married woman, and her mother. He ruined Willow’s life!
Drew asks, “What about you? You could have told her the truth at any time. You let Willow come all this way, planning a wedding, and waiting until her wedding day to do so.”
Nina knows why she didn’t tell Willow before, and she clung to the delusion that he’d do the right thing before Willow lost everyone in her life and walk away from her.
Now Willow’s lost her children, and she’s lost her daughter. That wouldn’t have been the case if he had just walked away.
Drew tells Nina to cut the victim act, revealing she hired an escort to drug him. Nina asks if he thinks anyone will believe that, or anything he has to say from now on. She reminds him she wasn’t there that night, and she didn’t force him to take body shots off an escort.
Nina yells that people know who he is now, his credibility and respect are gone. The only thing that pleases her about today is that he lost Willow forever. She may never forgive herself for this, but at least Willow will never forgive him. Nina then walks out.
