General Hospital: Willow’s Sinister Plan for Drew Unfolds – Can He Escape Alive?

General Hospital exposes Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) home with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), and she is not holding back anymore. She dropped a few bombshells on Drew to let him know what she’s done. Honestly, there’s no telling what Willow has in store for Drew.

We’re going to talk about how Willow plans to torture Drew now that he is at her mercy and she wants some payback for him controlling her life for so long. The question is, is he going to come out of this in one piece?

Willow Tait’s Shocking Confession and Drew Cain’s Locked-In Syndrome on General Hospital

All right, so we just saw Willow stun everybody at General Hospital with her decision to bring Drew home for her to take care of, although she did say she’s going to hire in some help. Drew knows already that Willow caused his stroke because she stabbed Drew in the neck with a syringe. Right after Willow injected him, Drew collapsed, reaching his hand out for her with a look of shock on his face.

He knows she did that to him, but now he’s wound up with locked-in syndrome and he can’t tell anybody what Willow did. He couldn’t say anything about her taking him home from the hospital. Once she got Drew home, Willow showed Drew her rage right away. She pulled off the mask and dropped a big, bad truth bomb on him.

I loved seeing Willow tell Drew that she’s the one who shot him twice in the back. Although he can’t say anything to Willow, you could see that Drew is in utter shock. The good thing is Cameron Mathison has those big eyes that he can express things with. In a recent interview, Katelyn MacMullen said she thinks Willow didn’t want Drew dead, just incapacitated.

The Secret Witnesses: Can Kai & Trina Save Drew?

It sounds like Willow intended to disable Drew to get some form of long, slow revenge. Now he knows Willow shot him with intent to kill, but that failed to take his life. With Drew still alive, it seems like Willow decided to go another route and she caused Drew’s catastrophic stroke.

He cannot tell a soul what Willow did. As long as Drew has locked-in syndrome, that’s not going to change. As of now, Willow assumes that Drew is going to be stuck like this for a very long time based on the prognosis she got from Lucas Jones (Van Hansis). Willow made it clear to Drew that he has got to listen to her.

There is one guardrail in place she doesn’t know about – Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) know that Willow shot Drew. Kai shut down Trina when she demanded that he quit working for Drew.

He told Trina he can’t do that because he needs to keep an eye on Willow and try to protect Drew in case he’s in ongoing danger. Kai can’t be there all the time, but thankfully, Willow doesn’t know that Kai knows she shot Drew, or she might turn on Kai, too.

Willow’s Survival Mode: Why She Feels Drew Cain Quartermaine is a Threat on GH

In another recent interview, Katelyn MacMullen talked about where exactly Willow’s head is at right now. She said, “The big show that Willow’s putting on where she’s acting distraught over Drew’s stroke is somewhat legit.” The Willow actress said, “I think part of her is devastated that it has to happen.”

She said Willow’s not proud of what she’s been doing, but she’s in survival mode and felt like she had no choice when it came to Drew. The actress also said that Willow thinks with Drew in the picture, she’s not safe and nobody around her is safe either. Since Willow failed to kill Drew by shooting him, him being incapacitated is the next best thing on General Hospital.

Willow’s in control now and Drew is totally powerless. Willow’s calling the shots and is very happy about it. She referred to Drew as her captive audience and she seems very pleased that he’s basically her prisoner because he’s trapped in this cage that is his body. Willow has big plans and she expects Drew to be at her mercy for a good long while.

Torture Tactics: How Willow Plans to Pay Back Drew Cain Quartermaine on General Hospital

Let’s talk about exactly what Willow may do to Drew. There’s the big question of how far Willow will go and, long term, if Drew is going to survive being cared for by his not-so-loving wife. The first thing I can see on Willow’s agenda is to pay back Drew for her losing her kids, which she totally blames him for.

Willow just won 40% custody of Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) and Amelia Grace Corinthos (Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko), but that doesn’t make up for the time she lost with them because of Drew.

I think Willow may keep Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) away from Drew. She already has Scout staying with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). As long as the lady lawyer is playing nice with her, Willow is probably going to drop the restraining orders against all of them because she’s got the power of attorney.

That includes Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) so that he can see his sister Scout. Willow can just explain to Alexis that she thinks Scout seeing her dad like this might be really traumatic.

They may agree to limit Scout’s time with Drew or totally keep her away from him for the foreseeable future. Losing Scout will enrage and devastate Drew, but there’s nothing he can do about it.

Physical and Psychological Revenge in the General Hospital Plot

Second, Willow may do some smaller aggressions—just more kind of icky, annoying things. She might feed Drew icky food, slop, gruel, or vegetables she knows he hates all mushed up. Willow may want to make sure that Drew has no strength left in him so there’s no way he can recover or fight back. Plus, it would be harmless but pretty petty payback.

The third thing I could see is Willow drugging Drew to discourage visitors from sticking around too long and to keep him weak, pliable, and under control to slow down any chance of recovery. Also, if Willow sees that Drew is trying to communicate with any visitors, drugging him would put a stop to that.

The fourth thing I could see is that Willow could be really cruel and hurt Drew physically. Willow can’t do anything that would leave a lasting mark or a bruise, but she could pinch Drew, slap him, or stick him with pins. She can engage in mental cruelty and verbal abuse, which don’t leave marks except on your psyche, and I think she feels like Drew deserves all that.

Deep-Seeded Rage: Willow Tait’s History with Controlling Men

The last thing I think Willow might do, which would be totally cruel, is bring over some other man to fool around with in front of Drew since he was sleeping with her mom, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), behind her back. I could see Willow thinking, “Okay, this is some kind of payback I want to do, too.”

She could bring home some random person and make sure Drew saw them together, or maybe someone like Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) who might enjoy something kinky like that because he’s a perv.

I think really nothing is off-limits for Willow right now. This is more than just her getting revenge on Drew for what he did to her life; Willow may be looking for revenge for all the wrongs that a lot of men have done to her, past and present, both actual and perceived.

Willow spent years under Shiloh’s controlling thumb. He raped her with her adoptive mom Harmony’s blessing. Her dad ditched Willow and left her in that cult life. Plus, she sees herself as a victim of Michael Corinthos‘ (Rory Gibson) because he kept the kids from her. She totally blames Michael for all that.

This is Willow’s opportunity to let out all this simmering rage that’s been building up her whole life. I think she’s going to unleash it on Drew while he’s helpless. Honestly, aside from Kai, I don’t think anybody would care even if they did find out that Willow’s torturing Drew.
