'How
to Get Away With Murder' Recap: Annalise Helps a Former
Friend and Laurel Asks Michaela for a Huge
Favor
Thursday,

Writer, BuddyTV In the second episode of season 4 of How
to Get Away with Murder, titled "I'm Not
Her," Annalise struggles to move forward with her
personal life even as she takes steps to restore her career.
For her first case since getting her license back, Annalise
works to free her former cellmate from prison. Meanwhile,
the Keating 4 return to campus but have difficulty
overcoming their ruined reputations, and we learn more about
the night Laurel's baby goes missing.


Annalise
Gets Back to Work

Though
she's still struggling to move forward, Annalise gets
back to work in this episode when she takes on her former
cellmate as her first client. (Jasmine is the cellmate who
tried to help her and not the one who beat her up.) Jasmine
is being charged with fire-arm possession, but since she had
previous felony convictions for solicitation, that could
affect her case. Annalise says she will be taking the case
free of charge and the woman is delighted to have Queen
Annalise representing her. Alas, Annalise loses her initial
motion and the case moves forward to trial.

Annalise
approaches the A.D.A. and asks him to have some sympathy for
her client since it makes sense that she would need
protection in her line of work. It turns out the A.D.A.
already helped her client out by not charging her with
additional violations since Jasmine tried to solicit the
arresting officer. Annalise tells Jasmine that she has to be
honest with her so Annalise doesn't get blindsided in
court, but Jasmine is upset that Annalise is blaming this on
her. She knows Annalise only took her case to make herself
feel good, but the only way to truly help her would be to go
back in time and stop her father from selling her to be
gang-raped at the age of 13.

Annalise
looks into Jasmine's criminal history and finds arrest
records going back decades, but nothing before she was 18
because the records were sealed. She seeks out the
A.D.A's help to unseal them, but he refuses. She then
turns to Bonnie for help since Bonnie now works for the D.A,
but Bonnie slams the door in her face. It is Frank who
ultimately helps Annalise out by showing up at her place
with the sealed file. He tells Annalise that he will always
be there for her, whether she wants his help or not.

Annalise
Opens Up

As
the episode begins, Annalise's therapist is having a
mysterious phone call with someone that will likely prove to
be important later on. When Annalise shows up for her
appointment, she tells her therapist that she took on her
first case since getting her license back and she wants to
talk about it. Her therapist, whose name is Isaac Roa, wants
Annalise to fill out a form about past trauma that
could've led to her substance abuse problem. Annalise
lies on the form and doesn't tick the box that mentions
sexual assault.

When
Annalise continues to talk about her client, Isaac asks why
she chose this woman to be her first client. Annalise claims
that this woman helped her out when they were locked up
together and she just wants to return to the favor. Isaac
doesn't believe that's the real reason. He says
she's deflecting because she doesn't want to talk
about herself and he won't have that.

Annalise
admits that she failed to check off a few of the boxes, but
Isaac already knows this. Annalise doesn't think
it's unreasonable to want to feel comfortable before
opening up about all of the horrible things that have
happened to her. Annalise says there is a reason she keeps
bringing up her client and Isaac thinks it's because the
woman reminds Annalise of herself. He thinks she took
Jasmine's case because of the abuse they both suffered
as children. Annalise admits that horrible things happened
to her as a child, but she insists that she isn't like
her client because she had a mother who loved her and
teachers who believed in her.

Annalise
tells her therapist that the reason she wanted to talk about
her case was because she won it and that felt good. That
being said, she knows it's very likely her former
cellmate will wind up back in prison in a few months'
time because addicts don't change. Isaac says that he
was once a heroin addict and he got cleaned so it is
possible for people to change. Annalise then tells him that
the last time she was in therapy, her therapist taught her
how to share and she wound up opening up about all sorts of
things. Her former therapist then became her husband and we
all know what happened there so it's easy to see why
Annalise is having trouble trusting Isaac.

The
Keating 4 Seek New Job Opportunities

Since
Annalise dumped them, the Keating 4 are busy with job
interviews. Michaela, of course, nails hers and gets five
callbacks, but the others don't fair as well. Asher does
manage to get a few callbacks, but Connor doesn't get
any and Laurel apparently only gets one from Legal Aid which
she does not show up for. Michaela, Asher, and Drake the
douche all get callbacks for the firm of Caplan & Gold.
They are all thrilled about this because it apparently means
lots of money and experience. Michaela once again charms her
potential employers, but Asher ends up losing his cool when
Drake taunts him that the firm probably won't want him
once they learn about his family history.

Michaela
and Drake end up scoring jobs with Caplan & Gold, much
to Laurel's relief. It turns out that Caplan & Gold
is the firm that represents her father and Laurel wants
Michaela to work from inside the firm to help her take her
father down since she believes he's responsible for
Wes' death. (Way to kill Michaela's excitement about
her new job, Laurel.) It also seems like Caplan & Gold
was the law firm Annalise went to work for right out of law
school so I imagine there's quite a story there.

While
Michaela is back on track with her career, Connor isn't
doing so well. He blows all of his interviews and later
claims that maybe he doesn't even want to be a lawyer
anymore. Oliver points out that since they all got away with
multiple crimes, maybe they should think about doing some
good with their lives. So, Connor ends up seeking a position
with Legal Aid. He's turned down because the woman
thinks he's only after the job as a last resort, but
when he hears Laurel missed her callback, he goes to track
her down. This leads to a very important conversation
between the two.

Once
Connor finds Laurel at Wes' apartment, he asks why she
didn't show up for her callback and she says that maybe
she just doesn't care anymore. Connor wonders if
she's still looking into Wes' murder and this leads
to them actually talking about Connor's role in what
happened. Connor knows Laurel hates him for lying to her for
weeks about finding Wes dead that night, but he tells her
that she can't possibly hate him as much as he hates
himself. Despite her obvious anger over the whole situation,
Laurel realizes that it wasn't Connor's fault and
she tells him to stop hating himself, for her if not for
himself.


Will
Bonnie and Nate Become Friends?

Early
in the episode, Annalise runs into Bonnie in the courtroom
and realizes that Bonnie has gone to work for the D.A.'s
office. Annalise is surprised, to say the least. Nate, on
the other hand, still believes Bonnie is a spy for Annalise
so he refuses to help Bonnie when she asks him for
assistance with the case she's been assigned. When he
runs into Annalise at the courthouse, Annalise tells Nate
that she fired Bonnie because everyone is better off without
her. Later that day, Nate gives Bonnie information for her
case and jokes that they should start a support club called
Annalise Anonymous. It will be interesting to see where this
relationship goes.

Speaking
of Bonnie, when she calls Frank to complain about Annalise
asking her for a favor, we see that Frank is sitting parked
outside Laurel's place, keeping an eye on her. While
Frank spies on Laurel, Bonnie drinks away her problems
because now that she's free of Annalise, she can have
booze in the house again. (It's nice that Bonnie found a
silver lining to that break-up.)

Where
is Annalise?

Once
she has her client's sealed file, Annalise calls a
former prosecutor to the stand. This man is the one who
charged her client with solicitation back when she was only
13 years old.

The
former prosecutor claims he was only following the letter of
the law for 1968, but Annalise points out that when other
underage girls were brought before him, he argued for them
to be sent for rehabilitation. The only difference between
those girls and Annalise's client is that Jasmine is
black. Annalise argues that if her client had been white,
she would've been given a chance to turn her life around
instead of being treated as a criminal by the people who
were supposed to protect her. The system doomed her to a
life in and out of prison and Annalise demands that she be
shown the basic human decency she's been denied all her
life.

The
judge is moved by Annalise's passionate plea and he
apologizes to Annalise's client for how the system let
her down all those years ago. He also seals her records so
as long as she stays out of court, she won't have to
reveal her criminal history when applying for jobs or
assistance. Upon her release, Annalise gives Jasmine a
government I.D. and some money to help her with her fresh
start.

In
the final scene's flash-forward, we see Isaac leave
Annalise a voicemail telling her that Laurel is awake and
demanding to know where she is. We then see Bonnie arrive at
a crime scene and the scene in question turns out to be
Annalise's hotel room. There's blood everywhere and
one of the investigators mentions a gun being found in the
room. Is this where Laurel had the baby? If so, is Annalise
behind the baby's disappearance?

What
did you think of this episode of How
to Get Away with Murder? Will Michaela agree to help
Laurel take down her father, even if it means putting her
career at risk? Will Michaela even believe Laurel that her
father was responsible for Wes' murder? Will Connor,
Asher, and Laurel be able to land actual jobs or will they
all have to go work for Oliver? Why is Frank spying on
Laurel? Does he think she's in danger? Is he working on
his own to find out what really happened to Wes? Do you
think Annalise's therapist can be trusted? Why is he
involved in whatever is going on with Laurel in the
flash-forward? And do you think Annalise took Laurel's
baby? If so, I'm guessing she took the baby to protect
it from someone/something. Let us know your thoughts in the
comments section.

How
to Get Away with Murder airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC.

DO
YOU TRUST ANNALISE'S THERAPIST? No. He's clearly up to
something. <------------ Yes. He's trustworthy.
It's too soon to tell.
