Why was Willow Tait arrested on General Hospital?

As seen in the recent scenario of the General Hospital, while Willow sat with her kids for a playdate under the supervision of a counsellor, she was taken into arrest for the attempted murder of her boyfriend, Congressman Drew Cain. 

Let us start from the beginning. In the previous episodes, Willow, who had parted ways with Drew, reunited with him after he was shot. Seeing Drew in pain rekindled her feelings, leading them to get back together. 

However, this had upset Michael, who was at peace, when they got separated. Further, in the recent episode, Michael had brought a proposition for Willow to meet her kids, since the date of their trial had been updated to the next year. 

However, Michel remarked that this meeting would take place under the supervision of a councilor, to which Willow was left stunned. Willow expressed her disagreement, saying she genuinely believed something might occur that would leave a bad impression on the counselor, which could ultimately lead to her being declared an unfit parent. 

Indeed, that did happen. While she was with her kids having a playdate after a very long time, her interaction with her kids got interrupted as she was taken into arrest by Ana and Dante. 

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Det. Chase had also taken Willow’s mother, Nina, under arrest for the same reason, while she sat with her brother Nathan, who had just returned from the grave.
