At home, Willow leaves Nina a message expressing how worried she is that Michael didn’t come home last night. As she hangs up, Drew knocks on the door. “Why would you come here?” she asks. He needs to explain to Michael, but Willow asks him to stay away from both of them. Her marriage can’t take any more of his help. She wanted to tell Michael herself about their kiss, but Drew beat her to it. He explains Ned and Tracy were blackmailing him over it and he had to stop it. All Willow cares about now is her family. She just wants Michael to come home so she can tell him she loves him and will do whatever it takes to earn his forgiveness. She knows Sasha had to have told Cody about the kiss. Drew urges her not to tell Michael about the second one.

She should have told him. Michael understands she was being loyal to Willow.

Michael says there’s a lot of blame to go around, but he mostly blames Drew.
