Bonnie was not the only one standing over there when Sinclair’s body fell.. Too obvious of a solution in my opinion, and I’ve got some ideas I like better.

Catherine, unconscious during yet another murder and a gun shot at her household… Probably because Frank intended for it to look like Catherine has the same “excuse” as last time, so they can prove that someone else has been framing them the whole time.. Also using this to their advantage because they get to take someone out in the process.

I still can’t get behind Annalise being the shooter’s intended target. I think the shooter is aiming at someone AK loves enough to protect, like Wes or Bonnie. That leads me to theorize about who would target those two. Frank’s hostility towards Wes has been emphasized this season and if he aimed a gun towards Wes and got Annalise, he would still be guilty of attempted murder regardless (doesn’t matter if he got the wrong victim). That could explain his demeanor in the hospital, bellowing so that everyone would see and hear, that Annalise cannot die, they CAN’T let her die. Then his attitude totally changes once he passes by the surveillance camera and the next thing we know he is leaving Catherine in the woods, another thing he is clearly doing intentionally.

If someone were to be shooting at Bonnie, that seems like it would be Wes if the truth about Rebecca came out. Also AK bleeding out is an effect that would make sense following a struggle between the two people we have seen her protect the most, Wes and Bonnie.

Wes’s behavior in 2x07, especially the scenes involving Nate’s case and his conversations with Eve and Annalise afterwards, supports my “playing both sides” theory. He “tipped Annalise off” that he believed Eve threw Nate’s case on purpose. This successfully made it appear that Wes is looking out for/ protecting Annalise. But I haven’t forgotten that he is WORKING WITH NATE. I believe the upcoming setup will play out similarly. Wes will be “helping” Annalise and co stage a murder to prove someone is framing their clients… They need to present a new suspect after all according to the rules from day one. Wes and Nate both know how far Annalise will go to make sure the “facts of the case” are in her favor.. Perhaps they hope she will get so deep into the plan that she won’t realize they intend to frame HER. It makes some sense what with the focus on the obsessive tension/hatred between Sinclair and Annalise. Nate cannot stand Sinclair either, perfect for him..

Michaela is going to be Caleb’s alibi, and if Catherine was supposedly passed out in the woods when all this happened, that’s an alibi for her, albeit a weird one.

Bonnie is standing nearby when Sinclair dies, granted. This does not make me think that she is the killer, it makes me think she’s standing near the attacker just like Laurel was back when Michaela pushed Sam. With all the role reversal in season 2, I could go for Laurel being the person who really pushed Sinclair this time. So far Laurel is the one I’ve heard in the flashforwards actually mention killing somebody out loud.

It’s also possible that in the process of staging Sinclair’s death, Nate and Wes wanted to make it look like (to the others) that Sinclair was attacking Annalise and/or Bonnie. In that way, some of the group can be “dragged into the situation” again, like in season one.

Speaking of role reversal, last time Connor and Michaela ended up “dragged” into the crime scene because Wes and Laurel went to protect Wes’s girlfriend. This time I could see the plan – yes – PLAN – being for Connor to believe that Oliver is in danger at the Hapstall house and that could be the initial reason for his presence at the house. If we were to do FULL role reversal, Connor as Annalise’s shooter would be interesting. I can’t ignore how strongly Connor feels about not wanting any more blood on his hands though, but it is possible. If Annalise IS someone’s intended target, I could see Connor feeling that way. I think that is obvious though, so obvious that someone might be banking on it (AK, Frank…).
