In the August 28 episode of General Hospital, Willow channeled all her energy into getting Chase to fall under her spell even more. Chase fell for Willow’s poor little me act hook, line, and sinker, proving he hasn’t learned a thing, but she has.

Key Takeaways

  • Willow used her bad few days to play Chase.
  • Chase walked right into her trap and was oblivious to it
  • It’s the same old playbook, with Willow and Chase falls for it every single time.

The Tears Are Flowing

It’s been a week for Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), having to deal with Jack (Chris McKenna), who at least she got blackmail evidence on, and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) coming for her. Willow’s dirty little secrets are slightly starting to come back to haunt her.

In true fashion, Willow used a chance run-in with a shirtless Chase (Josh Swickard) to her advantage. Chase played the nice-guy card as Willow turned on the tears, saying it’s been a rough few days.

Willow hid several key details from Chase regarding why she has been having such a hard time. She cried and expressed frustration as Chase played up her poor-little-me act.

Chase Again Turns a Blind Eye to the Real Willow

The more Willow talked about people being against her for no reason, the more Chase wanted to help. Chase even asked if Michael (Rory Gibson) forced Willow to move into the gatehouse.

Willow responded that Michael always gets what she wants. She also brought up Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) accident, which had a lightbulb go off for Chase.

After all, he has already been asking questions about the other driver in the accident. Now Willow has given him another reason to look into it. Chase reminded Willow of all the things she had survived as she leaned on him.

The Same Old Same Old

Despite Chase declaring to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) that he has set boundaries with Willow, that hasn’t really happened. In fact, since Willow moved to the Quartermain estate, Chase seems more determined to be her ally at all costs.

Willow’s endgame is to get Chase to do her dirty work. It was no coincidence that she badmouthed Michael or brought up the accident.

The walls are closing in on Willow, and she needs someone to help get her out of the situation she created. Willow knows she can turn on the tears, and Chase is putty in her hands. Chase always believes Willow without question, and it will cost him.

At some point, just like with Nina (Cynthia Watros), Chase will pay the price for blindly following Willow and being there for Willow’s every whim. Willow has been lying and deceitful. One day Case will see how wrong he was about her.

GH spoilers reveal that Chase compares notes with Joe (Jonathan Bennett). It’s a safe bet that the accident has to do with how Willow became a person of interest. The more Chase pulls at this thread, the more he puts his wife in trouble.
