Cassy was sitting on the passenger seat of Frank´s car as he was speeding to Annalise´s.

"It´s Wes. He wants to know where I am." Cassy suddenly said in a shaky voice as she looked down to her phone.

"What do you mean?" Frank asked nervously, eyes fixated on the road ahead of him.

"They´re all meeting at his place I- I- I- I guess he wants to make sure that I´m not the one that snitched." She explained as she got new texts from Wes and another one from Michaela as well.

"Stop texting, you might be watched right now, who knows what the hell they can use as evidence against you." Frank tore her phone away and threw it onto the rear bench before dialing Annalise´s number, however their boss didn´t pick up.

"Why are you freaking out, weren´t you supposed to calm me down?" Cassy asked confused, her anxiety kicking in as she saw Frank was losing his mind. Suddenly his phone started ringing and he picked up, thinking it was Annalise but instead it was Laurel and he told her the same thing, that they couldn´t call or text because they were under a microscope.

"You kids messed up and Annalise and I covered up for you…we´re in there just as much as you are." Frank explained to her after a deep breath when they pulled over at Annalise´s house where they could see the police talking to her and Hannah Keating.

"Arrest her!" Sam´s sister was yelling while pointing at Annalise when Cassy and Frank stepped out of the car and ran up the driveway. "She´s the murderer, she killed him."

"Oh no…" Cassy exhaled quietly, coming to a halt a step behind Frank.

"Cassy you need to go to the car, you can´t be here." Frank whispered as Hannah went on to tell the police that Annalise killed Sam.

"What? No, what am I doing in the car?" she asked confused as Frank tried to explain to her quietly that he was just trying to protect her and wanted her away from the police. "His partner already saw us, if I go to the car now it´ll be even more suspicious." Cassy retorted as they both looked at the scene that was playing out on the porch.

Cassy sat in the class Annalise normally taught, however another, lame professor substituted for her. Cassy played with her pen, clacking it on the table much to the annoyance of the people around her. She didn´t even listen to what the man in the front was saying, her mind replaying Sam´s murder again and again as she had the news anchor´s voice in her head, confirming that Sam´s remains were found. Suddenly Annalise interrupted the class, taking over and Cassy was eventually torn out of her thoughts, as she swallowed nervously, thinking about what she saw the previous night at Annalise´s. The attorney dismissed her colleague and started talking about the 5th amendment, the right to remain silent.

After class, the Keating 6 went to Annalise´s house to work. Frank handed out folders with information on the client, which surprised everyone as they didn´t think their boss would take on a new case after the discovery of her husband´s corpse. Cassy sat on the couch, her head resting on her hand, bluntly staring into nothingness. She could only faintly hear Bonnie explain the case, the sound and feeling of Frank dropping the heavy folder on to her lap tearing her out of her state of mind. The blonde told them about the Lombardo family, who owned a shipping business and were caught shipping heroin. Everyone was quick to assume that the family was a mob, to which Frank replied that they were business man.

"I need some of you to look at the cargo container´s chain of custody – who had access to it, whether it was a frame job. Go to port security and look at any available surveillance footage. Frank?" Annalise ordered, looking to her trusted employee to do the job and pick some help.

"Cassy." He nodded to the younger girl who looked up surprised.

"Can I come too?" Asher asked, raising his hand expectantly.

"I think two´s enough." Annalise denied, turning around to walk to her office.

"Oh, please, I can watch surveillance footage for hours, I once did a movie marathon, watched 27 hours in one sesh." Asher bragged, causing everyone to roll their eyes.

"Fine, go. At least I don´t have to hear about that anymore." Annalise gave in and the three of them headed out to the port. They decided to carpool there, which Cassy really didn´t enjoy much as she was still mad with Asher but got used to him and Frank hanging out. Once they reached the port and sat down to watch the footage Asher started asking Frank about his Italian heritage and if he was ever involved in a mob. At first Frank smiled but then he got serious, telling Asher not to tell anyone and Cassy raised her eyebrows quite shocked that he was admitting to it. Frank started telling an elaborate story which midway through Cassy realized was fake and tried to hide her amusement of Asher buying it.

"Wait. They whacked him right in front of you?" Asher asked concerned once Frank finished his story and both Cassy and him were trying really hard not to crack up. Frank pretended to start crying when he couldn´t hold it in any longer and started laughing, causing Cassy to laugh hysterically too.

"You freaking playing me man?" Asher asked annoyed as he looked at Frank and then up to Cassy. "You in on it too?"

"No, I´m just no idiot and realized the story was fake." She giggled as Asher rolled his eyes. "Oh my god, you guys, look." She suddenly pointed at the monitor as the giggles stopped.

"The container hasn´t even been weighed yet, but customs agents are already arriving at the yard." Frank realized as they paused the video.

"Which means the feds were tipped off to what was in the container before it was even opened." Asher continued, realizing that the Lombardo family had a rat in their pack. The trio called Annalise to inform her of their findings and she quickly made her way over to her clients to tell them about it. Asher, Frank and Cassy walked to Frank´s car, with Cassy and Frank staying a bit behind while Asher got in already.

"So, any real ties to the mafia I should know about?" Cassy snickered as she looked up to Frank.

"Nah, I was just playing with him." Frank stroke his beard as he looked at his little sister and replied her smile.

"I know you told me that it wasn´t a good idea to meet them but…I would really like to get to know them. They wouldn´t even have to know that it´s me, I can change my name." Cassy asked as they slowly approached the vehicle.

"You wouldn´t have to change your name…your parents gave you another. You were called Julia before they…they gave you away." Frank admitted and Cassy raised her eyebrows.

"Julia…Okay, that´s new information…but…was that a yes? Can you take me to them?" she asked when they came to a halt next to the car. Frank nodded slightly, making Cassy smile even brighter as they got in and returned to the house.

That evening Frank arranged a meeting with his parents so Cassy could meet them. The girl sat on the couch, which was also her bed, anxiously awaiting what her brother was going to say to her.

"Alright, we can come now." He informed her as he took his jacket.

"Now? I´m not ready now." She looked up confused and Frank shrugged.

"Well, you don´t have another choice. We´ve got our hands full with Sam´s murder investigation, so come on grab your coat." He rushed her and she quickly stood up, doing as she was told. "Oh, another thing, you´re my girlfriend."

"Your what?" Cassy laughed, thinking he was joking but Frank quickly explained to her that they couldn´t know about who she really was and that was her cover. "Okay." She sighed as they walked down the hallway. A long drive later they found themselves at their parent´s house, Cassy was shivering nervously but tried to hide it as good as she could.

"Hi Frankie, oh come here let me hug you." Their mother opened the door and pulled her son into a hug.

"Okay, enough, mom. Mom that´s my girlfriend Cassy, Cassy that´s my mother Maria." Frank began to introduce the two women after he pulled away.

"It´s so nice meeting you." Cassy smiled at the older woman as she held out her hand. Frank´s mother replied the smile genuinely as she shook the young girl´s hand and they walked inside. Suddenly a man in a wheelchair came up to them and patted Frank on the arm as a greeting and Cassy soon realized that this must be his father.

"And you must be Cassy." He came up and shook her hand while the girl swallowed nervously. She nodded, trying to keep her cool and they went to the table where food was prepared.

"I know it´s nothing special but the visit was very spontaneous." Maria apologized as she placed a plate in front of everyone. "So, Cassy, how did you two meet?" the mother asked as bowls of food were handed around and everyone put something on their plate.

"Oh, um…we both work for Annalise Keating." Cassy smiled, hoping they wouldn´t ask too many personal questions and find out who she really was. They continued to ask her things and Cassy got more comfortable once Frank started talking too and pulled the focus away from her. They laughed and Cassy listened to the stories they told her about Frank, leaving out any detail of him ever having a sister.

"And when our Frankie here was ten, he was very upset about not getting that game he wanted and told us he was moving out and spent his day in the tree house in our neighbor's backyard. Poor guy didn´t realized he had Frank in there and almost fell down the ladder when he saw him sleeping up there and got startled." Frank´s father laughed and Cassy slowly realized that she knew that story, because she was still with them when it happened.

"Oh I remember that." Slipped out of her mouth and the parents looked at her confused and Frank closed his eyes while exhaling, annoyed that she blew her cover. Cassy quickly realized how weird that sounded and tried to safe herself. "Frank, he told me that story once, don´t you remember…babe?" she placed her hand on Frank´s shoulder, feeling weird about having to act like they were together and her brother looked up at her and smiled.

"Right, yeah totally forgot." He nodded and they both shared a look of relief when the parents bought their lie. Some moments passed and Maria started to clean up the table, seeing as it was really late already.

"Oh, I´ll help you." Cassy offered and the two women carried everything to the kitchen, leaving the men behind to chat. "It was very nice of you to invite us on such a short notice. You have a beautiful home, Miss Delfino."

"Oh please, call me Maria, dear." The older woman smiled and Cassy replied it happily.

"So, Frank doesn´t talk much about his family…does he have any siblings?" Cassy inquired curious as she started rinsing the plates.

"Oh, just a brother." Her mother replied but Cassy could feel that she was holding something back.

"Really? No sister?" Cassy wanted to know when Maria stopped next to her to put some dishes in the sink and a pot fell out of her hand.

"Why would you think that?" she asked seriously with a stern gaze and Cassy widened her eyes as she tried to find a good explanation.

"Oh um…I don´t know, just the way he acts around me made me feel like he had a sister." She stuttered and put her focus back on the dirty plates, feeling Maria´s stern gaze on her.

"You´re not his girlfriend, are you?" she realized and Cassy looked at her with a guilty expression. "You know, don´t you?" she noticed and both women got tears in their eyes. "Julia?" Cassy´s lips started shivering and she pulled the older woman into a hug and sobbed into her shoulder. Maria hugged her back tightly and for a moment everything seemed perfect. That was until her mother pulled away and cupped her tear-stained cheeks. "Look at you, you´ve grown up to be a beautiful woman." She smiled and Cassy laughed, wiping her happy-tears away. "You need to leave." Suddenly the mother´s expression changed and she looked very serious and almost angry. "You need to go now and never come back."

"What?" Cassy whimpered as her eyes filled with tears again, this time not from happiness.

"My husband can never find out about you being here. You need to go." Maria told her and Cassy sobbed quietly as she felt rejected all over again. She stormed past Maria back to the dining room where she interrupted Frank and his father laughing and drinking scotch. She tried to hide her sad expression but clearly couldn´t when Frank asked her what was wrong.

"Annalise texted, we need to get to the office now." Cassy lied, a big lump in her throat and Frank clearly spotted the lie as he didn´t get a text from Annalise. However, he stood up and went with her act and after he briefly said goodbye to his father, they both walked out and got into his car.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked once they were in the vehicle and Cassy started sobbing.

"Just drive." She demanded but he insisted on her telling him and asked again. "JUST DRIVE, FRANK!" she yelled, pointing at the street and he followed her instructions, gearing into first and driving off.

"I knew this was a bad idea." He muttered to himself.

The next morning Frank walked into the kitchen to make coffee, clearly noticing that Cassy was still in the same position she was in when he went to sleep. She sat on the couch, her knees pulled to her chest and her eyes bluntly staring out of the window.

"If you wanna call in sick today, I bet Annalise will understand." He suggested and got his sister´s attention as she looked at him, her eyes red and puffy. "You wanna tell me what happened?"

"Our mother recognized me and told me to leave and never come back." Cassy explained as she walked to him, rubbing her back with a painful expression.

"I´m sorry." He simply said, not really knowing how to react. Cassy waved it off as she started drinking the coffee he put in front of her and looked at the clock.

"I should get ready or I´ll have another woman tell me to leave and never show up again." Cassy realized, hinting at her being late for work and she walked to the bathroom to fix herself.

Cassy only came in a few minutes late and luckily for her, Annalise was at the courthouse. She entered the room where the rest of the Keating 6 watched the news where new findings about Sam´s murder were shared and Asher made fun of how stupid the killer was. Cassy looked over to her peers who all tried to keep a straight face and not give anything away when Annalise came home and informed them, that the defense of a criminal informant was off the table, wanting no further discussion on that.

"A friend at the court just called. Detective Bryce is in the process of getting a warrant to search the house." Bonnie told Annalise and Cassy looked up, glancing over to her accomplices, the fear in their eyes obvious. Annalise ordered Bonnie to go to court and challenge the warrant and take Asher with her.

"Oh my god." Cassy whimpered once the two who didn´t know about their crime left the house.

"If they get a warrant and find anything here…we´re screwed." Connor realized as he sat down, his face blank from fear.

"No, I´m screwed, not you." Annalise suddenly approached them and everyone straightened up. "I am the wife that was cheated on, I live in this house and I have an unbearable sister in law waiting for my public lynching. So your only concern right now is to find another way to win our case and not to look guilty." The attorney told them in a harsh tone and everyone turned their focus back on the files. About an hour later the group suddenly heard people talking outside and knocking on the door.

"Gamefaces on." Cassy thought out loud when she looked outside and saw a bunch of police officers and crime investigators on the porch. The remaining students were sent outside where they waited on the sidewalk, Cassy nervously pacing up and down.

"Stop pacing." Michaela sighed annoyed but the younger woman simply threw her an angry glance. "You know that just makes you look more guilty."

"Guilty of what, huh? Being nervous because our boss is being investigated for a murder?" Cassy retorted as she continued to walk up and down.

"No, being guilty of killing Sam." Michaela hissed and Cassy leaned against the fence.

"I didn´t kill Sam." Cassy reminded her colleague with an eye roll.

"Well, I guess we should let the police decide, right? I mean after all he killed Lila so you´d have a motive." Michaela continued discussing and Cassy pressed her lips together to avoid saying anything stupid.

"Guys, let´s not do this here." Wes begged the two women who only unwillingly stopped talking, main reason being because Laurel joined them, looking at a burner phone.

"Frank said he´ll let me know the second anything happens." She explained and Michaela started to let out a pessimistic comment about Sam´s blood being in the cracks of the floor.

"Everything has been cleaned." Wes intervened and Connor retorted, hinting that Annalise wants them to go down and set them up. Suddenly Sam´s sister showed up behind the group.

"You´re all quite dedicated to stand watch at your boss´ hanging. For the best and the brightest, it seems like a foolish move." Hannah mentioned and the students looked at each other, trying really hard not to show any emotions. "From here on you´ll each be painted with your own scarlet "A" for Annalise."

"Get off my property, now." Annalise interrupted Hannah who was quick to point out that she was on the sidewalk which technically did not belong to Annalise. The two began to fight again and insult each other until the attorney had enough. "How´s the saying go? Incest is best, put your brother to the test?" she said before walking inside the house.

"I need to go inside too." Cassy muttered but as soon as she stepped into the direction of the house Michaela´s voice held her back.

"You can´t, they deliberately sent us out." She reminded her but Cassy shrugged.

"Guess I´ll try my luck." She faked a smile before heading inside where Frank was standing in the hallway, asking her what the hell she thought she was doing. "I wanna help. I can´t just stand outside and do nothing."

"Miss Robinson." One of the detectives approached the whispering pair with an interested look and the two stepped away from each other. "You were the one talking about the sexual harassment by Mister Keating, right?" the detective asked her and she raised her eyebrows, sure that this was highly illegal to talk about her statement in public.

"What?" she heard Frank hiss in the background as she met the detective´s eyes with faked confidence.

"Why are you asking?" she wondered and the detective scoffed.

"Oh don´t think that just because we´re searching Miss Keating´s house we´re not looking into other directions as well. Now that we know that it was murder." The detective smiled at the girl before being called by one of the investigators. Cassy´s lower lip shivered as she exhaled deeply, as though she had held her breath the whole time.

"Cassy, what the hell? Sexual harassment?" Frank inquired but Cassy looked at him with scared eyes.

"Not now, I need to talk to Annalise." She tried to push past him but he grabbed her wrist tightly, so much it actually hurt her. "Frank, let me go you´re hurting me." She whispered, not to attract any attention.

"You can´t talk to Annalise now. She´s got enough on her plate. Go sit at the kid´s table and wait for a message from us." He ordered and looked her sternly in the eyes. Cassy really didn´t want to do what he said but she knew that he was right and she couldn´t get herself into more trouble. The girl walked outside and joined her peers again, trying to ignore Michaela´s comments about her being right.

After the investigators couldn´t find anything the students were allowed back into the house where Annalise ordered them to continue working on their case, however Connor insisted on talking about how the police could still trace the murder back to them. Cassy tried to drown out their voices as she stared onto a piece of paper.

"She should be grieving instead of blowing off the cops and taking on mobster drug dealers who she cares more about than saving us." Connor hissed quietly when out of a sudden Annalise stood behind him and interrupted him by asking Connor into her office. Seeing as everyone was on edge Cassy decided not to share the information that the police was looking into other possible suspects besides Annalise. Everyone continued going through the case files when Cassy walked over to Frank by the desk.

"Hey you got any other files? All done with those." She put a bunch of folders on the desk and looked at him expectantly.

"Here you go." Frank handed her a new batch but kept holding them before whispering. "You wanna talk about what happened yesterday."

"Nope." Cassy replied with a quiet voice and started to pull on the folders but Frank continued to hold them.

"Why? Maybe I can fix this, talk to our mother-" the older man asked quietly and Cassy glared at him shocked.

"I´m not talking with you about this. Not here." She looked over to her peers sitting in the living room, focused on their files.

"You don´t want your friends to find out I´m your brother." Frank wanted to know and Cassy quickly shushed him.

"They´re not my friends. And no, I don´t want them to know. At least not yet." Cassy explained harsh but quietly.

"Know what?" Laurel suddenly stood behind the pair and they looked at her surprised.

"That I…am planning a party." Cassy lied and both Frank and Laurel raised their eyebrows confused. "Surprise! Details will follow." The young girl ripped the files out of Frank´s hand and pushed past Laurel, who informed Frank about a new lead she had.

The next day in court Annalise questioned the officer that handled the investigation on her client and brought forward Pedro Hortua, a former employee who, as Laurel found out, was in charge of the weighing of the containers and disappeared two days after the incident occurred. She went on to ask that man questions about how he chose Mister Lombardo´s container until it eventually came out that the prosecutor instructed Pedro Hortua to do so in exchange for a green card. Annalise won her case again, a triumph she desperately needed in those crazy times.

After the trial the group returned to the house to put everything on the case away before being allowed to go home. Cassy stayed back as Frank had to finish something with Annalise.

"Cassy?" Frank asked the girl who was scrolling through her phone. She looked up and smiled faintly.

"Doesn´t Annalise wonder why we´re carpooling?" Cassy asked when she stood up and grabbed her jacket. Frank looked at her with a guilty expression and Cassy sighed. "You told her."

"She wants to see you." He smiled and Cassy nodded walking past him, straight to her office.

"Miss Keating?" she knocked on the door and Annalise let her in, telling her to sit down in front of her desk. "Are you going to fire me?" she asked but Annalise showed her with her hand to stop talking.

"Beginning of the school year I went through all the names of people in my class and I noticed your name. I remembered you from when you were 7 and I represented your parents. I felt sorry that you had to grow up in such a cruel world." Annalise started as she looked Cassy into her eyes. "But your parents loved you and you grew up to be an extraordinary student nonetheless. Then when I picked you for my firm Frank came to me. He told me that you seemed familiar but he couldn´t put his finger on it. Now, Frank wasn´t with me when I worked on your parent´s case but I found it interesting so I kept close tabs on you two. I noticed that after Christmas you seemed more comfortable around each other, more familiar, so I asked him. Sam told me about you wanting to find your biological family…I´m glad you did." Cassy looked at her surprised and took a moment to process it.

"So you´re not firing me?" she asked confused and Annalise scoffed.

"Why would I? You´re one of the best student I ever had. Having As on all exams even with the stress you´ve been under all year? I´d be a fool." The lawyer laughed and Cassy smiled nervously.

"Could you just…please not tell anyone? I´m still kinda processing all of it." Cassy let her know and Annalise nodded before sending her out. Cassy grabbed her stuff and walked to the front door. She had only opened it a bit when she saw Frank and Laurel talking and him seemingly comforting her. It didn´t take long before Laurel drove off and Cassy finally came out and joined Frank.

"You still like her." She giggled and Frank pushed her lightly.

"Stop it." He frowned as they walked to the car. As soon as Cassy and Frank were home she got into the shower and got ready for bed. Once she entered the living room she noticed a piece of paper on the counter on which Frank wrote that he had to go to Annalise´s really quick and she shouldn´t wait up.

The next day Cassy, Connor, Laurel and Michaela met up with Wes at his apartment to talk about the police finding out more and more about Sam´s murder. The news were running on Wes´ laptop in the background and everyone was shaking nervously as Connor continued worrying about them getting caught.

"Guys I need to tell you something." Cassy spoke up and everyone looked at her anxiously. "Remember earlier this week, when they searched Annalise´s house and I went inside?"

"Yeah, why?" Wes asked worried and Cassy inhaled sharply.

"Well, that leading detective kinda threatened me that just because they´re looking into Annalise doesn´t mean they´re not looking elsewhere." Cassy finally told them and seeing as they were all tense already, they didn´t seem that surprised. Suddenly Rebecca came in with a scared face.

"I just talked to a friend whose brother is a cop." She informed them and everyone looked at her expectantly. "He said they found a ring in the woods." Rebecca said and they looked at Michaela, who had lost her engagement ring the night they murdered Sam.

"I can´t believe we didn´t continue looking for it." Cassy sighed as she sat down on the bed next to Michaela.

"We´re all going down. We´re all going down for something you did." Connor shouted in a shaky voice while pointing at Wes.

"Something I did? We were all involved in this! We all burned his body!" Wes defended himself while the rest simply tried to cope with the news of the ring being found.

"Yes, because Annalise told us to. All this would have never happened if she didn´t break in to steal stuff from his computer." Connor explained directing his anger at Rebecca. "Annalise can´t help us out of this now…we´re all going to jail."

"They found my ring, Connor. I´m the one that´s going to jail." Michaela shivered scared when Connor started laughing.

"They come for you, they come for us. They know you yourself couldn´t have done it." He told her when Laurel suddenly broke off their argument and pointed at the laptop.

"Turn up the volume." She ordered and they all rushed to the laptop where they heard the news anchor announce that Nate Lahey was arrested for the murder after his fingerprint was on Sam´s ring, which they found in the woods.

"She´s doing what she said she´d do." Michaela realized as they all watched the news in confusion. "She´s taking care of us."
