Answers Wrapped in Questions Surrounded by a Cliffhanger! This episode of How to Get Away with Murder continues with Annalise being attacked by Philip in Wes’s apartment. She’s on the phone with Eve who tells Wes (who is in her lobby for a quick catch-up, remember) to call the police and send them to his own apartment! Annalise manages to get away from the clutches of Incest McCreepy Philip and we’re off with the season finale!
Never fear, Eve’s long legs are here!
At the police station, Eve shows up in her trademark mini with Wes, and Annalise flashes back to being at the police station 10 years earlier with Eve. She has just come from Suicide Central where Rose mangled her jugular, and Wes is talking to the detective about his mother looking dead when he found her. “Very dead” he says, which is odd since she was still “very alive,” just convulsing from the fact that a majority of her blood was on her kitchen floor.
Annalise says it was suicide and Eve is like how could you know? Annalise could tell Eve she was there, but you know…Awk Hawk! However, the detective on the case tells Annalise that she’ll be stopping by to visit her clients to have a little chat. Annalise shouldn’t worry – they’re rich and white. Ain’t nothing going to happen to them except maybe they get some kind of financial bailout of some sort.
Back at the office in present day, everyone is just standing around waiting for Annalise to come back because they have nothing better to do with their time like work or study or run away to Mexico. She tells them that nobody goes anywhere alone until Philip is caught. Eve walks Annalise up the stairs and my first thought is…if anyone saw her there, they would know that she and Annalise knew each other, which could screw up the case with Nate where they said they didn’t know each other. Although for Annalise living on a very busy street and probably always in the news, nobody in the town seems to pay her any mind.
Oh these goddamn associates.
Eve is putting a bandage on Annalise’s arm because apparently the police station doesn’t have the Minion ones Annalise likes, and she asks why the file was given to Wes in the first place. He’s a big boy and Annalise should just talk to him. “How did this become my life?” Annalise asks, and Eve says it’s because she’s just as messed up as the rest of us. Which I take issue with – I mean, not all of us continually have people killed, or kill people ourselves, and then cover it up over and over again by unethical, immoral and illegal means. Most of us just stress eat Cheeze-Its and drink martinis. But that just may be me.
Eve wants Annalise to drive back to New York with her where she has a 24-hour doorman and they will be safe. And more importantly, away from the worst law students and associates ever placed on prime time TV.
Look, if a threesome is on the table, we need to work out the logistics immediately.
Nate is here! Turns out Caleb is missing. Michaela’s vagina blames Annalise for not telling him that Philip was back. When was he ever really gone? Also, unless Caleb’s assets have been frozen, seems like maybe he could use some of his gajillions of dollars to hire a security team or at least get one of those “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” necklaces. And who is still left to even NOTICE Caleb is gone? He lives alone with his furniture covered up in sheets like he’s squatting at some East Hampton mansion over the winter.
He’s the only man who ever found my G-spot and now he’s gone. Gone!
Back 10 years ago, Annalise comes back to the hotel and Frank saddles up to her like a nursing puppy. She says she wants sleep but Wallace Mahoney shows up and would like to chat. They throw Frank out and she tells Daddy Mahoney that Rose was terrified of him – WHY? He threatens her saying he knows she was on her way to talk to Rose when Rose ended up dead and he’ll use that to his advantage if needed. Why didn’t he just hire a good attorney in the first place?
Back today, the ADA wants to talk to everyone on the video from “murder night.” Bonnie represents all of them, which seems like a conflict of interest if one of them does end up flipping, but since they are all immoral, unethical people, we know that won’t happen.
Connor says he looks distraught on the video because he has “bitchface,” nothing more. Michaela says she only slept with Caleb AFTER he stopped being their client (also, she’s not a lawyer yet, so suck on that), Laurel talks to the ADA in Spanish and says they are NOT Latino besties, Wes was in New York and he doesn’t need to clarify why, New York rocks! “Stop trying to screw me, you’re not really my type,” Connor ends with. Heh.
Really less bitchface and more smoldering Abercrombie & Fitch model.
Asshat calls Bonnie Bon-Bon, which seems kind of inappropriate considering everything that is going on, and says he’s sorry for all the trouble he’s caused to get everyone almost-busted. Frank agrees this all started with him, but Bonnie knows it all started with Frank, who ate the dog, who at the cat, who ate the mouse that lived in the hell-house Annalise built!
