Well I’m willing to guess someone (possibly Annalise’s therapist ... Jimmy Smits) had Annalise’s jail roommate/client Murdered and it wasn’t just a random drug OD. To hopefully sideline her progress /staying sober

I totally agree with you about the murdered woman not actually having died from a self-inflicted OD. Not only did she not really seem like someone who'd have done that - at least not that soon - but it's just not in the nature of this show for a significant character to die without there being something more to it than may initially meet the eye.

By the way, I really liked that character (and have long liked that actress) and had been hoping - till we saw her in the morgue - that she'd somehow turn up later in the season, maybe doing some dirty work or whatever for Annalise.

Between the mystery of what's specifically going to happen regarding Laurel's baby, also why does Annalise's therapist (by "2 months later") know her students personally,

I know we all will find out eventually, but for right now that is such a great mystery to me - he seems to know them all and know them well- when he thought Michaela was Annalise at first , heck I didn't recognize her either-at all, I thought she was some new crack head character the way she looked, and she was standing at the nursery window staring at the babies. On that phone call to whomever did he say something like, "I told you-She woke up!"? I think he may have been talking to Laurels dad?

also why is there eventually blood all over the inside of an elevator (we got only a quick glance of the bloody scene, but didn't that kinda look like inside Annalise's apartment building's elevator?) - and who's blood is it, also why does Michaela look like the ghost of herself and more or less like a junkie two months from now, it's getting good!

ALL of the above

Meanwhile, a question: Did we know, before now, that Connor has two fathers - that he was raised by gay dads? I don't remember ever hearing that mentioned before.

I remember someone having 2 gay dads- but I thought that was on another show, I didn't know or just don't remember or plain outright forgot it being Conner. If it was mentioned/shown before it is quite understandable with all the murders /drama/happenings that one would totally forget some things

This season's first episode (which was good, but unexciting - mainly was Annalise firing everyone, then going to visit her mother) seemed like the show had perhaps gone into a slump, and like this might wind up being a slow season. Sure didn't take long - by Episode 2 - for "full steam ahead" to begin!

Yes - during the therapist's future phone call to whomever, I, too, remember him saying "She woke up!" or similar. Might he perhaps be a good guy (still?), and just inadvertently got pulled in to things (like Nate in past seasons did) by developing a personal relationship with Annalise - thus unfortunate situational involvement by association - or has he all along maybe been Laurel's evil dad's lackey? Whichever is the case, by two months from now he clearly is in deep!

I was fairly certain Isaac (Jimmy Smits' character) was working for Laurel's Dad. He seemed to be constantly reporting on Annalise's whereabouts and the status of her therapy to "the voice" and is working against her to "break her" in therapy much like Wes' death did. Then I started to wonder if he could possibly be working in cahoots with someone at the DA's office (like Benito Martinez's character A.D.A. Todd Denver) to get revenge for all of the crap she forced them to swallow. It makes sense to drive her back to drinking in that regard and FINALLY getting her disbarred and thrown out of the ONE thing she can't lose.

As for Laurel's baby, I am hoping that he was kidnapped or taken by her dad or someone and isn't a casualty of their lives as everyone seems to become. And man, I agree, Michaela was looking ROUGH!
