Gentle readers, Im back!
Sure, I took a little break for Valentines Day.
But … NONE OF YOU told me that the Honorable High Priestess Cicely Tyson would be gracing the episode.
She was a queen in every second that she appeared onscreen, and I missed her this episode.
I do desperately need to understand why we got a Christmas episode on Valentines Day.
What a bizarre timeline that we live in.
It was … acceptable.
I was like, I could watch this for a full 45 minutes.
Then Laurel or Gabriel would do or say anything and Id be falling asleep.
Hes a dried-out sponge now.
Especially because overconfident Michaela is the best Michaela.
So where did we end up afterlast weeksepisode to get ourselves ready for this week?
Speed round: Nate made Rons death look like a mob hit.
The FBI lady with the square head got a warrant for the wedding photos.
Bonnie had a pregnancy scare and it almost tore her the fuck apart.
Annalise thinks that Emmett ordered the hit because the phone calls happened minutes after she quit.
She thinks he wants to destroy her.
Fortunately for her, Emmett also wants to bang her.
Shes going to take advantage of that to get some answers.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT ANNALISES SEXY OUTFIT?
First, she picks up a white blouse with ruffles.
How is that your first thought when it comes to I have to dress to seduce.
She thought,Lemme try the froufrou blouse.
Next, she puts on ankle boots with a kitten heel.
When Viola Davis becomes Annalise Keating, shes completely incapable of walking in heels.
How is this the sexiest outfit she could come up with?
What she wore to the wedding was sexier and less confusing.
She goes into Emmetts office and teases him about his attraction to her.
Shes wearing a leather blazer.
Yall, I cant.
Laurel gets a strange heavy-breathing phone call and heads to the FBI to ask about her mother.
Can we get this man out of the show?
Were seducing FBI agents over here, kid.
Do not come at Annalise with any problem less than that.
Thatsseriouslyall he does this episode.
Im very much over Mr. Cheekbones.
For all of her wallowing, Bonnie is getting a lot of attention.
Laurel gives Bonnie the most perfunctory forgiveness, and I guess were moving on from that.
Teagan has a mild freak-out, but Emmett tells her hes planning to leave.
She should have his job, and hes going to run for district attorney.
This pisses everyone the fuck off.
Annalise storms out of the dinner and winds up drinking at home.
With the date being less than successful, theyve got to get some more evidence.
Then theres this whole thing with the laptop.
This was imitation law.
This was the law lite.
This episode really took its time to explain exactly how the appearance of impropriety works.
Like … several times.
She has her web of crimes behind her with Annalises big-ass picture in the middle.
We all know that literally every member of the Keating Gang is incapable of keeping calm.
Emmett storms over to Annalises apartment to say he didnt kill Nate Sr. Ooooh, its final-montage time.
At one point, Annalise says, Game over.
The world doesnt belong to you and your good ol boys.
It belongs to me.
Yes, c’mon.
Suddenly a box arrives at the door of the Keating Gang thats addressed to Laurel.
I spent the last three minutes of the episode thinking it was a bomb.
I expected the house to blow up, but no, its a scalp.
Its Laurels mothers scalp.
At the same time, across town, Frank recognizes Laurels brother in the prison footage.
