It was just a way to get his girl back.
But Tegan wasnt wrong because Bonnie is texting Nate telling him, She knew.
Frank has information about Laurels disappearance, and for some reason confides in Oliver?!
Wait, when did these two become besties?
Oliver helps Frank figure out who the driver of Laurels cab was, one Felix Michel.
But not before Frank admits hes embarrassed to reveal to everyone he was wrong about Laurel.
But the guy insists he doesnt remember anything.
Michaela gets her client her day in court.
So its a loaded case in many ways.
The prosecution is offering a plea deal for three years in jail and restitution.
Annalise tells her to take the win, but Michaela and the client wont do it.
Vivian also makes an appearance in court and corners Annalise in the hallway.
He called her right after it happened.
SERIOUSLY, THIS DUDE WAS THE WORST.
Annalise doesnt take this news well, running home to beat a pillow with a poker.
It wasnt my fault, she proclaims.
Michaela thinks Brandi cant handle it, and Asher supports her.
But Tegan just wants to know where Annalise is and why she has to clean up all her messes.
Nate is still grasping at straws.
He thinks she should be arrested.
Why do you have it out for Tegan, dude?
When Annalise comes to apologize, Tegan is exasperated.
Annalise apologizes and promises to do better.
Ok, so does Annalise want to lose this case then?
He thinks Sam screwed everything up for them in terms of being an us.
But Bonnie thinks hes just turning to her because he misses Laurel and dismisses him.
Seems Olivers wild guesses got to him.
But Oliver is now also outside their house, begging Bonnie to help Connor and his detained clients.
Connor is too afraid to call Annalise or Tegan because hes worried theyll kill him.
Which Oliver notes might not be the worst idea.
Brandi is on the stand with Gabriel questioning her.
He wants to demonstrate the robbery and ensuing events werent a result of decisions she made.
It was like watching his father and Gabriel should come home with her.
Man, here I thought they were just going to have one nice mother-son moment.
Annalise promises to clean up this mess, while Tegan heads out to help Connor.
But it works because the director of the detention center agrees to see them.
He agrees to release them, but he needs to see her D.A.
Who, it just so happens, is her WIFE.
But Bonnies gamble also pays off because Tegan agrees to hire her on a three-month trial basis.
She probably shouldnt trust Bonnie though, since Bonnie later texts Nate from her new office, Im in.
Michaela is struggling to figure out how to win her case.
And right there is Michaelas answer the D.A.
is afraid of Brandi filing a wrongful death suit.
The judge agrees and insists the prosecution drop the felony murder charge or shell subpoena their report.
Thanks to the color of her skin and her economic background, the cards are stacked against her.
She takes the probation and waives her shot at getting money in a wrongful death suit.
The two have a tearful heart-to-heart where he confesses he was just trying to take care of his mother.
She embraces him and promises to protect him, reminding him hes a good man.
Annalise has a bone to pick with Tegan, namely that she never told her she had a wife.
Tegan reveals her wifes name, Cora, and says they just havent filed divorce papers yet.
And by we, she means herself specifically.
Seems like shes holding on to some unfinished business.
Its because ofwhyBonnie was fired, but Bonnie thinks its a good sign the FBI hasnt brought charges.
If the FBI is turning to Vivian to spy on them, they must truly be desperate for evidence.
At any rate, Vivian has had enough of being an FBI patsy.
She tells them shes done because of their framing Gabriel.
She dares them to come for her and even threatens to have Annalise defend her.
Now that I gotta see.
Michaela comes over, and he plays one for her that contains a bombshell related to her past.
Michaelas mom, pregnant.
), who admits he was threatened to keep quiet about transporting Laurel.
He gives Frank the address of what he thinks is a safe house in exchange for cash.
He goes there, and its seemingly abandoned.
Nate is back at the FBI.
This takes us into a new slice of the fast-forward.
This time the FBI is interrogating a graduation-gown clad Connor invoking his right to remain silent.
Theyre pressuring him, saying Michaela is next door about to crack.
They slide a photo across to him, promising proof of the murder.
You did this, tell us why?
