Plot summary
Annalise files a Missing Person report on Sam, making it seem like Sam fled as a fugitive for killing Lila. The Keating Four are unsure of what Annalise knows about their involvement in Sam's murder or her intentions to help them avoid getting caught. Annalise is able to persuade the court that Rebecca had nothing to do with Lila's death, and shifts the blame on Sam. Rebecca is acquitted of all charges. Connor and Michaela contemplate turning themselves in and blaming Sam's murder on Wes. They bargain with Laurel to go along with the plan, threatening to sell her out too; Laurel instead tells Wes and Annalise.
In turn, Annalise explains that turning themselves in will only make things worse. She vows to always protect them and tells them that they need to trust her. Annalise tells Frank what really happened to Sam. Connor calls Annalise to let her know that Sam's sister, Hannah, a psychologist, is in town and refuses to believe that Sam killed Lila.
