Alexis prepares a surprise courtroom maneuver

Alexis Davis stays focused on finding a way to keep Willow safe, but her newest plan could cause trouble in the courtroom. Alexis got a letter saying that Michael was at Drew Cain’s house on the night that Drew was shot.

The letter also said that Tracy Quartermaine saw Michael at the house, adding even more worry about a secret.

Even though Alexis does not have real proof that the letter is telling the whole truth, she already knows that Jacinda’s story is a lie. Since Michael’s story is linked to what Jacinda said, Alexis is determined to break both of them.

Her plan seems to be about showing the holes in their shared story, leaving Jacinda open to hard questions and putting Tracy in a very difficult spot.
