Hayes and her team).
And luckily, we got a few brief glimpses at said backstories in tonights The 1 Percent Solution.
Lets dive in, shall we?

Case No.
Debra Porter, a wealthy wife and mother found stabbed to death in her mansion.
The Porters were the closest thing to family I ever had, ever will have.
I never would have done anything to hurt her.
Except that doesnt really explain how his skin ended up underneath her fingernails, Sam points out.
Apparently, Debra was changing a light bulb when she tripped and Will caught her.
Could the CIU have picked a case in which the convicted actually turns out to be guilty?
As far as theyre concerned, the guilty party is right where he belongs.
David says he and his wife treated Will like a son and Sean treated him like a brother.
(Anyone elses spidey sense immediately start tingling re: the son?
Maybe Sean was jealous of the attention his parents paid to Will.)
But Will wore a size 11 at the time of the murder, Frankie says.
Alas, we have our first piece of proof hinting at Jarretts potential innocence.
Who left the print and why didnt Wills lawyer(s) introduce it at trial?
Will insists they were in love and points Hayes to a video he says will prove it.
Will wasnt like us, David tells Maxine; thats why Debra insisted on sending him to boarding school.
Turns out Reys on his last appeal, and he proposes Frankie ask his boss (i.e.
Hayes) for help.
Frankies hesitant to agree, saying its a new job and thats quite a favor to ask.
In the episodes closing moments, Hayes happens upon Frankie in the CIUs office.
He helped me get through, so…
Speaking of complicated, the will-they-wont-they energy between Hayes and Conner seems to be reaching a fever pitch.
(Why so cold, Tag…er, Conner?)
Hes not mad, he says, but hes done.
The only relationship they have now is a professional one.
Hayes leaves, disappointment written all over her face.
Later, Hayes invites her mother, Harper, to her office for a drink.
Hayes apologizes (even appearing sincere!)
and laments that Jackson isnt returning her calls and Conner wants nothing to do with her.
Your brother will be fine, Harper says, as soon as her numbers recover…
But as for Conner, she encourages her daughter to go with her weapon of choice the truth.
Not about her opinions or a case, but about her feelings.
The shock on Hayes face mirrors my own as she tells Conner: Shes my ex-girlfriend!
