That’s a lot of speculation on your part. How do you know XW parked in the garage so you wouldn’t see her car? Deer in the headlights look on XW doesn’t really track either. And honestly, whether your daughter said she was terrified or not, I still don’t see how this is alienation. Did she physically block you from talking to your d? You have NO idea what is being said when you aren’t around and there could be many reasons your d is not wanting to spend time with you. She’s a teenager! I agree with everyone’s advice to focus on you and just treat your d with kindness and love. Playing tug of war with your XW using your d as the rope is only going to end badly for all of you. If she won’t come with you, enjoy time with your son. Let her know she is missed and that you love her but you respect her boundaries. Stop expending your energy trying to prove parental alienation when that energy could be expended on something positive.
