To be honest, Nobody Else Is Dying felt a bit like a series finale precisely for that reason.
Usually these characters arent granted nearly this much closure and peace.
We open on the car crash that ended the last episode.
Michaela and Asher are still hashing out their breakup as Asher packs his things and prepares to move out.
Asher doesnt believe Michaela regrets cheating on him and calls her evil.
Back at the hotel, Annalise has gathered the Keating Four to plan next steps.
But first, Annalise lays down an ultimatum: No one else is dying.
All we have is each other, and so we have to work to protect each other.
Thats what were going to do.
Oh Annalise, how can you still be so naive about these things?
Jorge is with Christopher, using the baby as collateral.
Hes convinced his daughter did something to hurt her mother.
Laurel thinks her mom is probably passed out on a plane back to Paris.
Laurel admits to Annalise and Frank that she told her mother she should kill herself.
Her father wants them to doubt her, and his plan is working.
He then apologies for being a frat boy (LOL) and buries the hatchet with Bonnie.
Simon also wants Oliver to leave, which he does.
Nate is doing his own sleuthing and finds a decades-old case listed as active in Denvers database.
There is something in the locker, despite the case being supposedly closed for decades.
Nate arrives and reveals Denvers secret locker.
He found Dominics phone in there the one Laurel gave him at their last meeting.
But he also found the hard drive.
Now comes the hard part finding the illegal files on it.
And only Oliver can search for them because only his computer is encrypted.
Oh, also, she knows what really happened.
Which is…what, exactly?
He wants proof of them or he will go to the police and tell them the truth.
Michaela threateningly tells him that would be a mistake.
They need help to find the proof they need in a timely manner.
Naturally, that leads Annalise to approach Tegan at Caplan & Gold and admit that they have the files.
Annalise tells Tegan that Jorge killed the district attorney, but Tegan kicks her out of the office.
She wants to call ICE and get Simon deported.
He tells her he already destroyed them.
Sure, because I believe that.
Frank admits to Laurel that he went to the hotel and could find no trace of her mother.
Asher is swiping on a dating app and whining, so Frank tells him he should just forgive Michaela.
Its obvious he wants to but thinks hes not allowed to because it wouldnt be manly or whatever.
Michaela lied, yes, but they all lie.
Connor then tells the entire group that surprise!
Hes also been lying this whole time.
He didnt drop out of law school, he flunked out.
He was ashamed to tell them the truth, which earns him a hug from Oliver.
Annalise arrives and calls Jorge she has an ultimatum for him and tells him they have the hard drive.
Annalise meets Jorge and brings him the drive.
Jorge appears reluctant to agree, however, because Annalise stole Laurel from him and turned her against him.
But Annalise comes right back with the reminder that he took Wes from her, from both of them.
Fair argument, Annalise.
Laurel is at the hospital waiting to take Christopher home.
Social services will make a home visit for the baby in a month to check that everything is aboveboard.
Before Laurel goes, Jorge tries to ask once again where her mother is.
She says she doesnt know and doesnt care both Jorge and Sandrine are dead to her.
Because it was all a set-up.
As Jorge is leaving the hospital, he is intercepted and arrested by the FBI.
Except its too late; Michaela already took care of him.
Just like she suggested, she called ICE and made an anonymous tip.
Simon was carted off to a new facility managed by the Department of Homeland Security.
Man, I reaalllly dont like this version of Michaela.
The Supreme Court has ruled in Lahey v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Annalise won.
She wakes up to hear the baby crying, but Bonnie is tending to him.
She tells Laurel she can stay there as long as she wants.
Frank is in a button-down to go to the grocery store or so he claims.
Its a rousing speech about good guys and bad guys and how being a convict doesnt mean youre bad.
She talks about second chances and how even the most vilified can turn their lives around.
She hopes the case makes everyone work harder to see the good inside of people.
And as for whats next?
She helps him with his utility.
Asher is moving in to Wes old place now that Laurel has upgraded her digs for social services.
Oliver puts the cherry on top of this feel-good moment by asking Asher to be his best man.
He looks at their match in his pocket, and they smile knowing smiles at each other.
Nate still has the files he said he destroyed (I knew it!)
and begins to look through them.
He looks at Bonnies criminal record and finds a tantalizing note.
Frank recognizes the name, it seems.
Annalise sings to Christopher, while Frank makes a phone call to an unknown party.
Good times didnt last too long, he says.
Her kid is here.
And thats where we end.
A relatively rosy outlook for all, particularly Annalise, after going through hell and back this season.
What do you think?
Were you satisfied with this finale?
