Nina arrives at Carly’s, at Carly’s request. Nina thanks her for inviting her, and she knows they were interrupted at the hospital. Nina has more to say, so Carly says she’s listening. Nina explains she’s been doing some soul searching, she’s been acting from a place of fear, and she’s hurt people. Nina knows she’s hurt Willow, and she blamed Carly for the distance between them.
