Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

Okay. This is the perfect episode to discuss how Annalise Keating, Bonnie Winterbottom, and sometimes Frank are the only characters doing things right. They are doing so much to cover their tracks, and really pushing for the Keating Group to get on board. The scene where Annalise literally tells everyone to get on board with the plan is priceless. She is not messing around with anybody, especially Nate.

Nate is the most inconsistent character on this show. For the past four seasons of this show, he has been shaped based on what the plot needs him to be. He didn’t really stand out to me as an individual until we learned about his father, which helped somewhat to making him a relevant character. But damn, how he is trying to convince everyone that Miller was innocent was not smart. He got played hard on this episode, but that was mostly because he set himself up like a fool.

Bonnie, bless her soul. She is grappling with her guilt and almost kills herself… Frank is too good to her most of the time. I believe their complex friendship / romance is getting more fleshed out with this storyline they have going… If Miller turns out to be an innocent victim, it’ll really crush her.

The subplot with Emmett and his misconduct is in this episode too. Annalise is helping him out, and is able to get this handled. I wasn’t too invested in this, and was more curious about Tegan’s phonecall to the FBI.

Gabriel and Miller worked together, but the details aren’t clear yet. By episode’s end, Gabriel is in a jail cell calling for Annalise to be his lawyer. He might have the answers on why the DNA evidence was tampered with, the one involved with Nate Jr’s death.

Also, Laurel and Michaela’s scene about childhood trauma was strangely endearing. Their friendship is undervalued at times.
