Annalises call quickly takes a more worrying turn when she fears she hears an intruder in her apartment.
Thanks,How to Get Away With Murderwriters.
Asher is annoyed that Gabriel is using class time to vent his drama with Michaela.
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER – “I’m the Murderer” – Gabriel is first chair on a case defending a teacher involved in a school shooting, and this case hits particularly close to home for both Gabriel and Annalise. Elsewhere, Annalise attempts to discourage Tegan from her new quest to right a wrong, all while Oliver makes a shocking confession on an all-new episode of “How to Get Away with Murder,” THURSDAY, NOV. 7 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.

But hes actually not.
First, they have to convince Ryans grandparents to agree to this approach.
Primarily so that Bonnie and Nate wont ever find out Miller was innocent.
Asher and Annalise visit Ryans grandparents.
Asher encourages them to come and speak their anger, grief, and rage.
But its Annalises argument that convinces them to try their approach.
So, the case moves forward and a litany of students testify about the murder in the public forum.
Calling Ryan a bully, they reveal he regularly joked about learning how to make a bomb.
In their eyes, it was a terrible accident as a result of their teacher trying to protect them.
Its a Catholic high school, so he could be fired for his sexual identity.
She wonders out loud if David shot Ryan to prevent anyone from finding out he is gay.
Annalise wants to know if theres a secret sexual relationship at play here, but David insists no.
Ryan merely saw him on the app while he was overseeing detention one day.
Annalise puts the guilt-ridden David on suicide watch for the night.
Asher wants them to get all touchy-feely and discuss what happened.
He still doesnt know what they all did to Sam, and hes tired of all the secrets.
But Gabriel is outside wanting to talk to Michaela.
He misses having her support and someone to talk to.
Hes fretting about the case and if hes made Davids situation worse with his approach.
She tells him to stop making it out about him.
Which is just a reminder to him why he needs her in his life.
Asher is watching out the window, hoping shell break Gabriels heart again.
And she does shes pissed that hes not respecting her wishes.
She needs time for herself.
As Tegan leaves her office, shes horrified to discover a USB drive taped to her steering wheel.
Its Franks dirty work, but she doesnt know that.
She takes it to Annalise and is frightened to find its full of surveillance photos of Cora.
She knows its meant to scare her into silence and its working.
Annalise applauds Frank for a job well done, but he says this wasnt even Bad Frank.
It was his best instincts because hes protecting the love of his life Bonnie.
Ok, Frank, isnt it a little soon to be calling her that?
Shes not even all in on you, dude!
And Annalise agrees hell never have her approval because hell end up hurting Bonnie.
But, whats the point of fighting so hard to stay alive if theyre just gonna die alone?
Annalise takes his reasonable question to heart and agrees to meet Robert for a date.
Tegan backs out of filing the suit and tells Nate.
She admits the Castillos got to her and shows him the photos of Cora.
Theres no winning with them, just more death and she doesnt want Cora to get hurt.
Ryans grandparents are reluctant to continue with the restorative justice approach after the revelations about Davids sexuality.
But Annalise opens up to them about understanding the pain of losing a child.
And how much shes craved an apology from the hit and run driver that took her babys life.
This is their chance to get the apology shell never receive.
Gabriel wants to go all Dr. Phil on Annalises dead baby.
He never knew, which surprises Annalise as she assumed his mother told him about it.
He surmises the loss of their child is what soured her marriage to Sam.
The grandparents say their piece to David.
The grandfather wants to forgive him, but grandma not so much.
She castigates David for fearing and hating Ryan, rather than trying to help a troubled student.
She hisses, Ill die suffering, but its you who should be suffering in jail for life.
That might make me suffer a little less.
So, this lady has totally never heard of turning the other cheek then, right?
Finally, David gets his chance to apologize.
He insists he doesnt deserve forgiveness, but that Ryan did.
He let his hate take over, and thats undeniably part of why he pulled the trigger.
He wishes he could make their suffering his own.
But theres no time to discuss because the judge has a sentence.
The judge ultimately sticks to the original terms of the plea deal, 25 years in jail.
Back in the hall, Gabriel tells Michaela he doesnt care if she cheated.
Asher throws that in his face, saying its proof that he doesnt really love her.
So, Gabriel throws a punch and the two are brawling in the hallway.
Michaela is not here for the old school display of toxic masculinity.
Asher admits he blacked out with rage and doesnt even know what happened.
That does not bode well for whatever is happening in the flash-forward.
Annalise finally makes good on her date night.
She tells him hes not ready for her and that is probably the understatement of the year.
But he keeps pushing, wanting her to let him get close.
He asks her to dance, laughs when she immediately starts leading, and begs her to trust him.
Tegan is spinning out.
She leaves a voicemail for Cora, trying to ensure shes still alive.
Roberts not the only one cooking dinner Frank tries to do the same for Bonnie.
But she ruins the mood with the revelation that she was at Nates working on the wrongful death suit.
Frank objects, but its too late.
Shes already filed the suit with the governors name on it.
Either the governor goes down or they do.
And it might just be Bonnie and friends going down.
Because the governor immediately wants to know more about who Bonnie is upon receiving a copy of the suit.
Of course, shes asking Xavier Castillo, her favorite henchman, for the details.
She wants everything they might possibly have on Bonnie.
It was a set-up all along to get her close to Annalise.
Back at home, Connor and Oliver are having a heart-to-heart.
Connor admits hes done terrible things he never told Oliver about.
Oliver says he can tell him everything and hell never stop loving him.
But he never expected Connor to admit he was the one who chopped up Sams body.
But now hes in the flash-forward, standing in shock in the lobby of the police station.
Frank comes to retrieve him, but Oliver snaps and starts screaming, I did it.
Ok, then Lady Macbeth.
