The fourth episode of HTGAWM “Don’t tell Annalise” was filled with quite a lot of revelations. We finally find out why Frank is in Coalport, who that other body was and the aftermath of Annalise slapping her client.


In the first couple of scenes, we see Annalise having girls night out with Eve and possibky hooking up with one of the men at the bar (Nate believed she was out with Bonnie). She gets home drunk out of her mind and is still suffering from vodka brain when she arrives in court the next morning.

Asher is a sweaty mess + possible #Basher moment


Annalise is defending the case of a young student (Tristan) who had an abusive childhood and is being charged with credit card theft. Asher is first chair and is literally sweating through his suit jacket. His opening speech is going very badly but luckily gets interrupted because Annalise’s licence has been suspended. A video of her slapping her client had somehow gotten to the DA.

Bonnie takes over Tristan’s case – even though she doesn’t work for the univerusty and pulls an Annalise by attempting to trick one of the character witnesses (and Tristan’s schoolteacher) to confess that she had taken advantage of her underage student and gotten pregnant for him thereby pushing him to commit credit card theft so he can care for his unborn child.
The case is dropped against Tristan but he’s not very grateful. He calls Bonnie and Asher “monsters”. Not the worst they’ve been called to be honest.

Asher knows that the case touched a nerve with Bonnie due to her abusive background and tells her he’s proud of her. Guys we totally saw a Basher moment – or whatever their couple name is.

Seriously, shut up Annalise

Annalise finds out (through illegal means of course) it was someone at the university (Barry Lewiston) who sent the video to the DA. She’s trying to bully her way out of the suspension per usual but the provost is having none  of it and shouts “SHUT UP ANNALISE”. She tells Annalise to thread carefully or her tenure may be nullified.

Put down the vodka Annalise

Annalise is not taking her suspension and possible tenure nullification very well and Eve is trying to comfort her. Nate walks in on both of them and acts cool. He later asks what every sane man would ask Ananalise - if she's screwing Eve. Annalise is drunk and miserable so she lashes out at the loving hunk of a man who has done everything for her and calls him a bitch because he wont get violent with her. Nate calls Annalise an alcoholic, tells her to get help and walks out.

Nate is later seen having a hot bed session with Rene Atwood (the lawyer whose career Annalise almost destroyed on Always Bet Black

Annalise got inspiration from Nate and decided to sell a sob stoory ti the University board about her being an alcoholic due to the sour lemonades thrown at her (her husbands death, getting shot by Wes etc. etc.) and she’s willing to enter a program if the university will grant her license back upon completion. The board looks to be buying her story.

Annalise hired a hit man.
Eve asks Annalise what she used Sam's life insurance money for and in a vulnerable moment Annalise confesses that she hired a hit man to kill Frank. Eve doesn’t react so well to this but Annalise is the queen of persuasion so in like two minutes, they are having this steamy make out session when Eve pulls away, confesses she’s seeing someone and its serious.
Annalise is a little saddened but tells Eve she deserves to be happy and she should let herself be loved. An advice she clearly cannot take.

Connor’s got his game back.
While, Connor is hooking up with hot men on Humpr, Oliver is not (because being HIV positive makes it hard to have random hookups), Laurel is barely paying attention but leaving voicemail for Frank and Wes is worrying about Laurel. Wes asks Laurel what’s wrong and instead of telling him the truth, she decides to ruin Meggie’s surprise birthday party for Wes by telling him about it.

Frank’s third victim
We find out why Frank is in Coalport – he’s working at the prison (under the name Kevin) and took extreme measures to get to Bonnie’s father (who’s an inmate at the prison) and burn his lungs from inside.

Laurel overhears Bonnie telling Annalise about the death of her father and confesses to Bonnie when she comes out that she knew where Frank was and didn’t tell Annalise because she was scared for Frank’s life (and rightfully so). Bonnie’s response is short – “Don’t tell Annalise”.

Someone is pregnant.
Flash forward to the present day and we see Oliver in the hospital trying to find out who the other body is. Meggie is a med student at the hospital, walks into the operating room to tell the doctors that the victim is pregnant. Then she sees that the victim is Laurel.

Questions
Is Frank now everyone’s avenger? Who’s he going to kill next?
Is Laurel’s baby Frank’s? Or did she hook up with someone else (maybe Wes) two weeks before the fire? Who’s the person under the sheet? Maybe Frank or Nate? Most likely not one of the Keating Five as Oliver looked under the sheet and didn’t seem too shaken but he was a wreck at the hospital just thinking the other person was one of his friends.
