Alexis knows that the secrets that Shiloh uses for trust pledges have to be damaging to the initiant or to someone in the initiant’s family, but she has been assuming it would be about Sonny, since Sonny has worse (illegal) things to hide.
Alexis will be blindsided once she finds out that the pledge secret was about her, and even though the secret Kristina gave wasn’t anything that she could be legally prosecuted for, it spoke volumes about how much Kristina wanted to get back at Alexis and hurt her at the time when she gave the secret. She just doesn’t think of herself as that bad of a mother! Alexis will portray to Kristina all loving and supportive, understanding mother, but she’ll be ripped apart inside thinking about how angry Kristina must have been at her to give that information!
This is why Kristina didn’t really want to have to tell Alexis; she knew it would hurt her and of course she didn’t want to admit how much she hated her mom when she gave it. Dr. Neil Byrne (Joe Flanigan) was absolutely correct in saying that Kristina has a lot more work to do, and in fact, Alexis, Sonny, and Kristina need family counseling to overcome this anger and hurt in Kristina.
Just when Kristina has seen some hope of love and acceptance from Alexis, she doesn’t want to tear down any progress that they have made, and yet she has to tell this secret so if it were something that could have legal consequences, a game plan can be made to counteract the harmful effects and the leverage Shiloh might think that he has.

General Hospital viewers saw the pledge, which was Kristina telling that Alexis ran over Kiefer Bauer (Christian Alexander) on purpose and killed him while she was injured and laying in the back seat; but the intent was to make Alexis appear as ugly and vengeful as possible at the time Kristina gave the secret, when in actuality Alexis was really rushing a severely injured Kristina to the hospital and ran over him out of being too upset to drive. Kiefer was the one who beat up Kristina to begin with, and while Alexis probably should have called 911 and the police, she was frantic to get Kristina to the hospital in time to save her life.
Perhaps if Neil can help Kristina and Alexis both see and understand their points of view and why they acted as they did, some healing can happen between the two. Stay tuned to General Hospital and keep checking General Hospital spoilers frequently for all the latest news, updates and developments!
