Want to know who Michaela (Aja Naomi King) calls in a How to Get Away With Murder crisis?

That would be her boo, Asher (Matt McGorry). At least that's what she does in this sneak peek scene from Thursday's episode, in a continuation of the end of last week's shocking ending that revealed she's not the victim on the gurney.

While we don't know whether the pair are actually still dating at this point, since we really love them together we're rooting that they make it that far—and that Asher isn't the one under the sheet.

We also see more of Michaela's mom—a.k.a. Brett Butler—who seems to want to help her daughter, but doesn't exactly know how. Plus, she has no idea how crazy things have gotten in her daughter's life over the past year.

"I've been through worse," Michaela tells her mother when she tries to help in some way. "Just sit here—and don't steal anything!"

Star Liza Weil told E! News after last week's episode—which saw Michaela as the latest Keating Five member who was revealed safe—that the cast was truly devastated to learn who's on that gurney.

"I don't know if there are words to describe how deeply we are feeling the loss of that person," Weil told us. "It was a huge surprise and it's really devastating. I think that it's going to certainly rock these characters to their core, but also us as cast members and people. It's a pretty profound loss, and I have to remind myself every day that this person isn't actually dead. It's really upsetting."

How to Get Away With Murder airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
