They laugh over the fact that even Ezra is distancing himself from Drew, and their Drew probablems may be over.

Lulu asks if the Vinings saw the connection, and Laura doesn’t know. Leslie eventually told her the truth. There was a period when she didn’t want to have anything to do with Leslie, as she didn’t want to hurt the Vinings. She says she ran away at 14 and joined a convent, and it was Rick and Leslie who found her. Rick made her see that Leslie made all her choices based on what was best for her daughter.

She shows her an image on her phone, and Willow says the woman with Drew in the video was the one who was in her bedroom this morning.
Willow asks if their kids know anything, and Nina says Amelia is too young to understand, and Wiley and Scout are in school without their phones. Willow says none of this makes sense, nothing fits with the man she knows and loves, and there must be an explanation. Nina asks if Drew’s been drinking more than usual lately. Willow says she hasn’t noticed, but what if this is who Drew really is. When she left town, perhaps he let loose and showed his true self. Suddenly, Drew begins banging on the door to talk to Willow.
