How to Get Away with Murder: Who - or What - Is in Wes' Body Bag?
Nate, of course, has been on alert after the medical examiner listed the official cause of death as smoke inhalation, changing her initial tune that Wes died before the fire.
[...] even if the medical examiner is scheming with the DA's office, which seems obsessed with taking down Annalise (Viola Davis), Nate knows that, like Walter White, he has to tread lightly.
What those motives are will reveal themselves in due time, Brown says, but he's glad viewers are finally getting to see Nate come into his own and for once resist helping Annalise, who may have burned (no pun intended) one bridge too far with him.
"In the past, he was choosing his moments and weighing those options against what would better serve him in the long run, not short-term games," Brown says.
Annalise's parents, Ophelia (Cicely Tyson) and Mac (Roger Robinson), return in Thursday's episode for their daughter's arraignment, and the former has a little chat with Nate about Annalise.
