President Hargrove is her own woman and seemingly something new where Annalise is concerned . She handles AK in a way that I ' ve not seen others handle her , which makes me think that relationship will evolve into a close one . Annalise seems to be intrigued and Soraya is going above and beyond to bond with her . Whether it ' s romantic or not is a question but i find it interesting that the writers have cleared the decks romantically for Annalise this season . Sam was already gone , Eve suddenly falls in love and moves across the country and AK struck a blow to Nate ' s manhood that he ' s not likely to forgive . I hope Nate remains a friend and confidante , but I don ' t see them together again . Soraya President Hargrove shares a few things with AK . addiction , the loss of her kids and they ' re both powerful women of color . For me , the sexual chemistry between them is palpable . As well the blocking in their scenes continue to position them unusually close physically and I ' ve noted a lip thing between them . Lol . Furtive glances at one another ' s lips in nearly every scene and though it ' s subtle , one or both most always licks their lips . I never see this between other characters on the show . That line make me feel was odd and will get repeated between them at some point .
