Tad Martin needs to stop calling Laura ‘my beloved baby sister’ when he has known her a maximum of 5 years. I could swear he used to do that to Jake or others on AMC.

Alexis playing Tracy was probably the smartest lawyering I have seen on a soap in many years. Even if she stole that bluff from A Few Good Men, it's a damn good one.

I gagged when he said he and Jacinda had hit it no less than 20 times. Joss cocking her head and Michael's facial response in the gallery killed me. He's rethinking that bracelet!

Ooopphh.

I CALLED IT! I KNEW IT'D BE HER! YESSSSS

OMG Willow shot Drew, how suspenceful🙃.

I didn't expect all of this to come out today, I thought they would've waited until a Friday cliffhanger to reveal that Willow was the shooter.

You guys called it from the start!! Kai and Trina need to speak up IMMEDIATELY!

Wow - that is shocking they would reveal the shooter on a Thursday, and not even the end of the episode. Not watching prior to the shooting, why was Willow so distraught that evening? I didn't pick up on who was killed that made her upset.

Cam Mathison did a great job today! Really powerful stuff when he was on the stand.

Excited to see Tracy vs. Alexis tomorrow.

The judge in her custody hearing was murdered that night.

I expected a swerve since Willow was so obvious, but I'm here for it. Happy she plugged Drew, and I hope she gets away with it! Mind your business, Trina!

I thought it might be Scout, but that may have been too cliched in the wrong ways. I also half-expected Wiley, which would have been a bad idea for several reasons.

I mostly just want to see Chase get shaken to his core by this - I want to see a full breakdown and losing everything and then maybe he can end up as Willow's manwhore on the side while she bleeds Drew dry and continues to have feelings for Michael.

Willow is finally messy in a way that I would've never imagined. I didn't think Katelyn MacMullen had it in her. Happy to have been wrong.

I look forward to Chase realizing he got duped. He is such a bore as a goody goody and Blazer BLQ is no better. I can't believe I was once a fan of those two.

But now that Willow has that killer instinct, she and Rory Gibson's Michael are perfect for each other.

A part of me thinks Drew knows Willow shot him and has his own revenge in place: trap her in a marriage and keep her from her kids.

I could see Drew doing that for sure. He won't want to let her go.

I could also see Michael and Willow carving out their own Monica and Alan lane (Monica never shot anyone but she did almost lobotomize them).

It would be easy to write Chase out now, but I'd rather they just show his slow degradation. (and maybe some sleazier wardrobe)

I can’t wait for Chase to be revealed as a total fool now.
