And its a doozy.
Her latest client is her cellmate from her season 3 prison stint Jasmine.
Jasmine is impressed by Annalises got her groove back look.

She initially rejects Annalises offer because she cant afford it, but Annalise offers her services pro bono.
They all prepare in different ways.
Oliver is trying to pick up the pieces of his life by working at I.T.
for Me in a purple eggplant emoji uniform.
They rendezvous at the job fair to prep their game plans.
Asher brought adult diapers to stuff in his suit to combat his nervous sweating.
Connor and Laurel brush it off, saying she was intense and they didnt know her that well.
Asher blames the patriarchy (you been reading Matt McGorrys Instagram feed, Asher?)
for Annalise even being discussed.
Annalise is in preliminary hearings attempting to get Jasmines case thrown out for being an illegal stop and frisk.
Its meant as an impossible plea, but it inspires a new approach for Annalise.
To her, something doesnt add up.
When she questions Jasmine she realizes that there is a missing sealed file from a juvenile arrest.
Thats what Oliver is doing well, sort of with his new I.T.
company, Control Oli Delete.
Laurel thinks that company name is precisely as silly as we do.
Laurel says he owes her and so he has to forgive himself because she says so.
Its a win for both Jasmine and Annalise, and it feels oddly good?
Normally Annalises victories are tainted with sin murder, extortion, legal loopholes, etc.
Here, its just a good old-fashioned win for the both of them.
I can honestly say I like Annalise in this moment more than I ever have before.
She slams back at Isaacs admittedly questionable strategy of trying to trigger Annalise into opening up about assault.
She admits to Nate that she slightly blackmailed Denver to get the job in his office.
Back at the bar, the Keating Four have their new job prospects.
My father killed Wes and youre going to help me take him down, she tells Michaela.
My guess is less time than it takes Asher to say something stupid.
Then we return to the flash-forward and the hospital/mental institution of the season premiere.
I knew she couldnt stay out of their lives for very long.
Shes awake, he says.
Answer the damn phone.
But the old Annalise cant answer the phone right now.
Cause shes dead or at least she gives the impression of.
So what do you think is the blood Annalises?
Or is this a classicHTGAWMbait-and-switch, and shes not answering her phone for another reason altogether?
