A thread to appreciate our favorite boss b!tch (since Annalise doesn't).
What I can't figure out is why Tegan is so loyal to Annalise when Annalise is such a HORRIBLE friend to her? I mean, I get that Tegan is supposed to have a crush on AK (I guess), but Tegan was loyal to AK lonnnnng before that. There was that time Tegan busted it wide open to save AK's ass...the time Tegan covered for AK while she was in rehab to save AK's ass...the time she got the scoop on the London debacle to save AK's job...you get the idea. Then there was the time Tegan lied to save Michaela's ass...the time Tegan stepped in w/immigration to save Connor's ass...the time she hired Bonnie's inept ass...and didn't she pull some strings to get Laurel's son into daycare? LAUREL CA-STEE-JO, of all people!?
It seems to me, at first viewing, that Tegan is lonely and desperately wants a friend to talk to. (We first see this when she confides in Michaela about Antares and her "girlfriend".) But the truth is that Annalise has not done jacking fµck!ng sh!t for Tegan. I've repeatedly heard Tegan call AK her friend, but I don't once recall AK calling Tegan *her* friend. (She has called Tegan her rock, but that really just points towards AK's selfishness.) Remember the night Emmett died? Tegan was crying to her on the phone and AK *literally* hung up on her and went back to drinking! She bailed out to rehab while Tegan faced the FBI. She used Tegan's fear of the Castillos not once, but twice in order to get her way. (The first was the Jane Doe email.)
And then there is this bordering-on-lovesick...thing...that is really starting to piss me off. For fµck's sake, put them together. Or don't. But this sh!t - where Tegan pines for Annalise and AK either doesn't notice or doesn't care - is getting old.
HOWEVER.
Is it possible that this is all a ruse? Remember how fast Tegan turned on those tears for Telasco? Hell, she slept with that square-jawed b!tch! Remember how she referred to her Castillo stock as "blood money"? How she regularly referred to her "girlfriend" Cora until she had to admit that Cora was actually her wife? Or how about the fact that, afraid or not, Tegan is practically a Castillo by proxy thanks to her years working with the family? If something happened to Annalise today, who would possibly believe that AK's Puerto Rican pocket princess would even dream of hurting her bestie? She seems so loyal on the surface. And yet...
Annnnnyway. I really don't give a whistling fµck about AK at this point. I just want Tegan to win. I wish I could root for #Tegalise again, but unless AK gets down on BOTH knees and begs Tegan for forgiveness? fµck her.
