(I said that quickly so Shonda wouldnt hear me.)

Unfortunately, this episode is very DID YOU KILL WES?

heavy, even though we do get one tender scene between Jimmy Smits and Annalise.

Lets work our way there, shall we?

The episode starts eight months ago with Wes.

Laurels mom offers him $100,000 to break up with Laurel.

They dont know if he can talk yet or if his memory has been impacted.

Its a very emotional day for Annalise and the Gang.

Everyone freaks out and wonders if Simon is trying to catch Oliver in a lie.

Four seconds ago, you were asking if he could talk.

I dont think hes springing a trap on anybody.

Michaela is more worried if Oliver will trigger Simons memory.

See, thats a reasonable fear.

When Oliver heads to the hospital, all he asks is if Simon really came out that night.

Prepare to hear this phrase about 15 more times.

Annalise sends them all home to rest for the night.

Theres nothing they can do now.

Laurel goes to confront her mother and IM SO READY FOR THIS TO BE OVER.

Was it a failed experiment?

Was it an anvil?

Did an anvil kill Wes?

At this point, Id accept it just to get over this.

In the present, Laurel screams, STOP LYING!

at her mom 72 times.

He takes her into the bathroom and tells her that shes got to tell Asher that she cheated.

Thats the worst idea.

Just live with the lie and die with your secret after being eaten alive inside.

Unfortunately, Michaela has to dash off to be interviewed by the police.

Unfortunately, Simon already has a lawyer and its Teagan.

Annalise spots Teagans plan to take a stab at protect Jorge Castillo.

Laurel remembers that her last interaction with Wes was a fight over Frank.

Laurel goes to see Frank to ask him why Wes didnt tell her he met with her mother.

Frank gets a notification that someone has been messing with Bonnies car.

He cant find any obvious signs of tampering.

They debate who is going to tell Annalise about Laurels rampage about her mother.

Annalise is poking around the hospital when she finds Jimmy Smitss room.

She tries to sneak away, but he sees her.

He tells her that shes not responsible for him being in the hospital.

He tells her that he wanted to die and thats why he overdosed.

She breaks down in the hallway crying.

Asher put it all together.

This is another story line Im ready to be done with.

Mostly because Asher says obvi out loud unironically.

Annalise tells Laurel to hide out and not speak to the police until shes ready to deal with Simon.

Its time for Frank to pick up Laurel, but shes missing.

She gets her moms phone records.

She goes to see her mom and demands to know exactly what she did.

Frank tells Annalise whats going on with Laurel and her mother.

Bonnie calls from her car and says that Denver has the drive and hes playing both sides.

Im not completely clear on what the other side is, but hes playing both sides.

Poor choice of words.

Her mother called Jorge who put the hit out.
