General Hospital Daily Recap YAPP, May 8: Holy Handmaid's Tale, Willow!

Welcome to the General Hospital Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What happened on General Hospital

Willow has now crossed a rubicon, all because of what seemed like an innocent red dress, but boy, oh boy, did that red dress give off Gilead vibes. We thought we were watching Fred and Serena Joy Waterford at Drew's press conference, except that Willow was wearing red rather than teal, but we all know that blood red color is synonymous with Gilead's Handmaid. Willow certainly seems like a combination of a Handmaid and a Wife now. She is with a man who doesn't respect women at all, and therefore shows that she doesn't respect herself. That sure sounds like a Commander and a Wife to us. But we all know Willow is certainly fertile, making her a Handmaid, as well. The difference between Willow and the Handmaids is that in Gilead, her counterparts fight back and are not happy about their plight. Willow thinks she has it made, so to speak. She is standing by the perfect man in her delusional mind, one who she believes saved her life when he didn't. And what is Gilead if not a cult, something that Willow is very familiar with? She grew up in one and is now leading her own one-woman cult called Dawn of Drew. Willow's transformation from sweet and spunky third-grade teacher to Serena Joy is complete, and we couldn't be more disgusted. For that matter, neither can her mother. We feel ya, Nina, we feel ya.
