How to Get Away with Murder: How is Oliver involved this time?

How to Get Away with Murder has a question to answer about Oliver’s involvement in the flash-forward, but will it come out in this week’s episode?

When yours truly broke down last week’s new episode of How to Get Away with Murder, it came with a promise to dive into the flash-forward reveal that Oliver is at Caplan & Gold, there are police, and he looks like he’s a material witness to … something, presumably tied to the blood spatters in Annalise’s hotel, Bonnie’s burgeoning investigation and Laurel’s missing baby. We don’t pretend that the show won’t find a way to tie all of this together, because it almost certainly will. Some things don’t change.

But Oliver’s been involved in flash-forwards before, just not in quite the same way, or so it appears, at least. How is he involved? Does he chance upon something happening at Caplan & Gold? Does the something actually happen to him?

Well, he’s not dead, so presumably the answer to that last question is a no. (What? The show is still How to Get Away with Murder.)

This is a far cry from the Oliver we saw concealing and altering evidence, or even the Oliver sort-of kind-of coerced into helping Bonnie earlier this season. (Speaking of, will they share a conversation in the flash-forward that explains whether or not Oliver’s help will be a regular thing going forward for Bonnie?)

A quick theory is that he gets hired on at Caplan & Gold at the recommendation of Michaela. As I noted before, she seems to have a lot more pull than your run-of-the-mill intern, and she might actually have the ability to give him a job so that he’s on hand for everything she needs him both inside and outside of normal C&G work?

That would certainly explain why he’s there late at night, right?

Honestly, How to Get Away with Murder is just muddying the waters as it usually does when it comes to the flash-forward.
