I'm Going Away (7.7)
The fourth season kicked off quite slowly and it's no surprise that it's first episode has the lowest rating in the entire series. The episode began with Annalise hosting a dinner as a sendoff to Keating Four and Bonnie who were seeking new pastures.

I Hate The World (7.9)
In Season 6, Episode 4, the series kept up with it's theme of romance. Annalise was asked out by a lawyer named Robert while working on a case. And Connor decided to accept Oliver's ambitious request to bring in a third person to their... ummm... bedroom.

Michaela also decided to make it clear that she is abstinent. Wasn't that supposed to be private information? Elsewhere, Annalise did everything in her power to protect the Governor Birkhead from the saga revolving around Nate's wrongful death suit. Finally, Oliver confessed that he was a murderer.
We're All Gonna Die (8.1)
Here goes another Season 6 episode. Two is company, three is a crowd, but Connor and Gabriel might just not be fans of that phrase. The two lovers invited another man to join them but the moment didn't bring lasting joy as they found themselves arguing, several scenes later.
Michaela also vowed to bring hell to Solomon while Chloe did everything in her power to ensure her mother had the best care, including persuading Asher to come back home. Towards the end, a flashforward scene showed Tegan at Gabriel's apartment with blood flowing on the floor.

What Happened To You, Annalise? (8.1)
Annalise was definitely not herself in the tenth episode of Season 2. She was recovering well after being shot so she returned home. Guilt was eating at Wes for shooting Annalise right in the gut after she confessed to lying about Rebecca's fate.
