Complete story — includes the ending

Annalise continues to tackle Rebecca's case for the murder of Lila when they find out that Griffin's lawyers have been leaking things to the tabloids to smear Rebecca, resulting in a gag order. Michaela finds that she has an interview at a law firm, only to discover that it's her future in-laws who have called the meeting for a prenuptial agreement. Griffin's defense team wants to exhume Lila's body in order to show that Rebecca was the one who killed Lila, resulting in the prosecution coming to Annalise for help because they don't want the same thing. However, the prosecutor double-crosses Annalise and Asher hooks up with someone on the prosecution's team to obtain information and find out the reason behind the double-cross. Later on, the judge orders Lila's body to be exhumed. Following a brief argument, Wes and Rebecca give in to their mutual feelings and sleep together. After the examination, their case for Rebecca is bolstered by the fact that the marks on Lila's neck are from ant bites, but more problems for the case (and Sam) come to light when it is discovered that Lila was six weeks pregnant when she died. Flashforward: Wes cleans Rebecca up after Sam's murder, resulting in her wanting to take the fall for it, arguing that since she's already on trial for Lila's murder, she's going to jail regardless.
