Annalise isn’t going to die - SHE’S THE SHOW, DAMMIT! (along with Connor’s naked-torsoed hijinks) - but whoever tried to off her may not survive the season, is my guess. for cooking up the kind of “Whoa-Em-Gee” imagery that’ll keep us hooked for the next 15 weeks. Unless you’ve never watched anything more complex than Scooby Doo, you know the first impression isn’t necessarily the most accurate - but kudos to showrunner Pete Nowalk & Co. Once Annalise lands the case, however, we get a creepy scene of girl twin cooking up an oil painting of her late parents, and then, two months later, gunfire from their estate - leading into a shot of a fleeing/panicked Wes and a followup of Annalise, bleeding out on the floor, gasping for her life. Let’s recap the action in four juicy bullet points:ĬASE OF THE WEEK/SEASON | Annalise, bored by the ongoing investigation into her hubby’s death, spends half the episode seeking to undermine a rival firm in their defense of a pair of twenthysomethings in the death of their adoptive parents. Speaking of whirlpools, though, there’s not one series regular who’s not being drown in an eddy of guilt and bad acts by the end of the hour – titled, rather cheekily, “It’s Time to Move On.”

(That said, Bonbon’s pretty much all heart-emojis for her employer, yes?) Keating down into the sane prison-bound whirlpool, too.

If Annalise, for example, pins Rebecca’s murder on Bonnie (spoiler alert: Lurky McChurchmouse did the deed - and took her damn time doing it via electrical tape/plastic bag over the head, too), then her ferociously loyal minion possesses enough ugly intel to drag Prof. The good news is, though, every single one of our core characters is clinging to secrets of his or her own. I mean, honestly, when I sit and think deeply about their ratio of student-loan debt to future earning potential - and how it might be affected by a prison stint for felony conspiracy to commit murder - these students’ undying loyalty to stern taskmaster/educator/bosslady Annalise Keating strikes me as more than a little cray-cray.Ĭouldn’t Connor or Laurel or Wes or Michaela simply dial 9-1-1 and start the conversation with an Arrested Development-esque callback: “ I’ve made a huge mistake“?
