Bella and Dean (Patrick O’Connor) have been forced to adapt to life without Colby (Tim Franklin) after he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering Bella’s (Courtney Miller) father, Ross Nixon (Justin Rosniak).
Willow (Sarah Roberts) revealed herself as Witness X in the court case, testifying against her long-time friend by claiming that Colby admitted to the murder while she was in the hospital.
She decided to rescue Dean by saying Colby abandoned him on the side of the road before speeding off to kill Ross. When Colby realised Willow’s scheme, he went through with it by confessing in court and being sentenced to prison.
