Best Christmas Ever!
Summary:
It’s the first day of the 2nd semester, Michaela, Connor, Wes, and Laurel head back to Annalise’s class. Connor fills them in on Sam’s sister coming to town and looking for Sam, Wes is furious that Ananlise didn’t tell him about Sam’s sister and corners her in the office. While Wes and Annalise are bickering over Sam’s sister – Bonnie interrupts and says that a woman just walked in and said she was arrested for a DUI and needs a lawyer. Bonnie thinks it may be a member of the press getting close to Annalise under false pretenses, but Annalise agrees to take on the case. She and her students could “use a little fun.”
Annalise storms out of her office and sees a mousey woman sitting in the waiting room. Annalise demands to know what precinct arrested her, the woman begins stuttering and it is clear that she doesn’t have a DUI, so Annalise tries to kick her out. She tells Annalise that she “wants to do what Annalise did.” Annalise kicks her out and heads back in the office but the woman shouts, “Please take on my case! My husband is holding two girls captive in our basement!” Naturally, Annalise is intrigued.

STATUS RELATIONSHIP
In this episode, it was shown how the client wants Annalise to to defend her case.The OB concept that I saw was status relationship because Annalise at first didn’t want to accept the case due to the client not telling the truth. However when the client told her that she is doing the case to save her kids and not because she doesn’t love her husband, Annalise immediately took the case because she knew how real the struggle is; how heavy the burden is. She knew it was hard. She knew it will be difficult. She was able to relate and see herself in her client’s current situation, that is why she took the responsibility of defending the case.
