The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Connor returns home to find Oliver gone. He confronts Annalise and everyone at the office and, as they are about to call the police, Oliver and Philip arrive. Annalise tries to apologize to Philip and he leaves after blackmailing Annalise and explaining that he's not the killer. Oliver reveals that he kept one of the straws that Philip used at the diner where they had been talking. After being taunted by Annalise, Frank uses some of his money from a suitcase to pay off a nurse to get the DNA results from the Hapstall crime scene and Philip's straw.

The match is 99.4%, resulting in both Caleb and Catherine turning down their plea deals. The DNA also confirms Philip is a product of incest, being the child of Helena Hapstall and her only brother, Catherine and Caleb's adoptive father. Catherine sends one of her paintings as thanks to Wes. As Wes goes over the case file photos, he notices that in the background of Philip's screenshot is one of Catherine's paintings and informs Annalise and Nate. In the end, a nervous Catherine waits in her car until Philip gets in and says, "Don't worry.

I'll take care of it," while Caleb simultaneously reveals to Michaela a gun he apparently found in Catherine's studio. Flashforward: Wes, Connor, Michaela, and Laurel come back into the house and Bonnie takes the gun from Wes. After Connor insists on leaving, Bonnie threatens Connor, stating he'd be the next dead body if he left.
