At the gatehouse, Nina tells Michael that Willow has put herself at risk so that they can have another baby, but where does that leave Wiley if Willow dies? He snaps, “How dare you!” She says as Wiley’s grandmother she is concerned about his emotional needs and losing the only mother he knows. She tells him she knows about cancer and how she found out about it. She is sorry for what Willow is going through, but Willow putting this baby’s needs over Wiley’s is selfish. She demands to know why Willow did not get chemo in her first trimester.

Upstairs, Willow dreams about bringing the new baby home and beating cancer. However, her dream soon turns into a nightmare. The scene goes from bright and light to dark and dreary. Nina appears holding Wiley’s hand, and she tells Willow that she’s gotten too weak to take care of Wiley or the baby. Willow suddenly finds herself in a wheelchair and on an IV drip, with Michael holding the baby. Nina gloats Michael is working so much that she might as well take the baby too. Michael hands her over to Nina. Nina calls the baby her second chance and says, “What do you think about the name Nelle?” Willow screams and wakes up.

Back downstairs, Nina asks if Wiley knows about Willow. Michael states it’s too early for that. Nina tells Michael she knows he and Willow went through pain losing Jonah but isn’t it better for them to mourn than for Wiley to mourn his mother? Suddenly Wiley appears and is thrilled to see his grandma. He asks her to play with him because mommy’s always too tired and daddy is too busy. Michael orders Wiley back to bed, but he refuses. Nina tells Wiley that his dad is right and it’s time to go to bed.

Suddenly Willow rushes in and yells at Nina to get away from Wiley. She screams, “You can’t have my children, I’m not dead yet!” Nina is stunned, and Michael holds an angry Willow back. Nina assures Willow she’d never take her kids away from her. Wiley runs to his mom and asks what is wrong. Willow tells him that Nina is a bad person and she doesn’t want him talking to her. She says she’ll explain upstairs. However, on the way up the steps, Willow collapses, and Michael rushes to her.

At Carly’s, Drew is stunned that Nina is Willow’s mother. Carly says she needs to call Michael and Willow as Nina is a bone marrow match. Drew says Willow already found a match, and Carly is relieved. Drew backs things up and reminds Carly she did a DNA test on Willow and Nina which came back negative. Carly admits she lied about that too. He can’t believe he has to ask this but was she ever going to tell Willow the truth about Nina? Carly answers no.

Drew accuses her of withholding this information to get back at Nina. Carly swears this was about protecting Willow from the pain that Nina was her mother. Drew asks Carly why she lied to him about the DNA results. She yells that she didn’t want to put him in this position. He theorizes she knew he wouldn’t go along with the lie because she knew on some level it was wrong.

Drew knows Carly would never intentionally hurt Willow, but keeping this secret almost cost Willow her life. He says if they didn’t find a match for Willow, they wouldn’t have known Nina could have helped until it was too late. Carly knows and that thought terrifies her. She wishes Michael would have told her as she could have helped him. Drew notes maybe he takes after his mother in thinking he can shoulder everything alone. She says, “It’s my MO, take care of everything myself so I don’t need other people.” He assumes he is on of these other people she is speaking of, but she swears he’s not.

Drew laments that he was beginning to think they were becoming something more, that he opened his heart to her, yet she lied to him over and over. He calls this a wake-up call that they weren’t headed in the direction he thought they were. She quips, “So that’s it, one mistake and I’m out?” He tells her it’s not one mistake, it’s been lie after lie.
