404DenverBonnie
Denver ordering Bonnie to fire Laurel. ("Was She Ever Good at Her Job?")

Bonnie calls Denver asking for a job since she was fired from Annalise's firm. Initially denying her request for obvious reasons, Bonnie blackmailed him into hiring her. Whilst she was going in for an interview in his office, Nate saw her enter and assumed that it was one of Annalise's ploys. A couple of weeks later, following Annalise Keating's desire to open a case against the public defender's office, Bonnie comes to Denver asking if she can have a small team to tackle the lawsuit so that the District Attorney's Office isn't implicated by the case. Even though it wasn't confirmed that there was a case at this point, Denver agreed that Bonnie should stay ahead of it but only agreed to allow her to work on it. Later, whilst Denver was working to run for Attorney General of Pennsylvania, Bonnie hired Laurel. After hearing about it, he demanded that Bonnie fire her. Bonnie claimed that she couldn’t because that would be repercussions due to the fact that it could be seen as discrimination since she's pregnant. ("I'm Going Away", "Was She Ever Good at Her Job?")

406AnnaliseScene
After storming into the DA's office, Annalise makes a scene. ("Stay Strong, Mama")

After word got out that old clients from Virginia Cross were changing their attorney status to pending, Bonnie Winterbottom imagined that Annalise was somehow responsible. As it turned out, Annalise was using Cross' former clients for her class action lawsuit. One of the methods which Denver used to scare some of the clients into dropping out of the suit was seizing their homes. This happened to Claudia Gelvin and once word got out, Annalise visited the District Attorney's Office and confronted Denver directly about the seizure. She makes a scene by making a speech before the entire staff of the office. She tells them they should be ashamed of themselves for hurting innocent people and stealing homes from people who have nothing. Later, Bonnie talks to Denver in his office and warns him that his poll numbers are down in low-income districts for his campaign for Attorney General of Pennsylvania, advising him against his tactics to take down Annalise’s class action suit. He shuts Bonnie down and takes her off the case despite the fact that it only exists because of her. Annalise later managed to get a press conference which forced the judge to withdraw the seizure of the home. ("I Love Her", "Stay Strong, Mama")

415DenverDead
Denver's body being autopsied. ("Nobody Else Is Dying")

Denver is visited by Laurel in his office in order to make a deal. She offers to turn herself in for stealing the files from Caplan & Gold. But first, she reveals she has proof on the phone that he’s called Dominick many times, as well as evidence her father illegally donated to his campaign to become attorney general and is working with him. Laurel offers him the evidence if he gives her mother's phone records. They make the exchange. Once she leaves, Denver finds security footage at the prison where Bonnie is bribing the officer wondering who took the evidence from lock up. He then calls Jorge Castillo to tell him to handle it. Presumably, on his way home, Denver is involved in a car accident due to his brakes being tampered with which was initiated by Jorge which subsequently kills him. He is then taken to the morgue where the medical examiner performs his autopsy on his body. ("The Day Before He Died", "Nobody Else Is Dying")
