Seriously, every time it seemed like "It's Time to Move On" was pretty calm, something insane happened that made me reach for the inhaler I don't own. I'm still trying to process everything, so let's talk this out and see if I can relax.Frank and Annalise are in the basement, discussing what to do about Rebecca and her dead body with the ease of two co-workers talking about beverages: "I like soy milk."
