Yes indeed, in their very first meeting, the cancer-stricken wife of Annalise’s sometimes lover Nate Lahey makes Viola Davis’ alter ego noticeably wince with this whopper: “What kind of woman could be with a man when his wife is dying?” But fret not, as shown by our exclusive preview video from Thursday’s episode (10/9c on ABC), Mrs. Lahey kinda sorta means it as a compliment.

Actually, it’s an even tougher followup — “Do you love him?” — that makes our protagonist really want to ask Siri to locate all the exits. And it only gets more tense and uncomfortable from there.

Oh, hey that is Tracy from Rookie Blue. Poor Enuka Okuma her characters just can’t catch a break. First as Tracy her fiance is killed right after he proposes and then her rebound boyfriend is discovered to be a dirty cop. And now in this, she’s dying and her husband is cheating on her.

I thought the woman was going to be angry, it would’ve been easier to say no, i’m not going to help you die. But now what’s she supposed to do

She should be asking what kind of man cheats on his dying wife?

Wait…I thought Nate’s wife died last year
