How to Get Away with Murder.. or Die Trying

Michaela and Connor
     It's time for the last part of the How to Get Away with Murder  second season. Since we left off, Bonnie murdered Rebecca and Annalise/Frank covered it up by disposing of her body and making it look like the fled town. It's nice to have friends in low places when you're planning a murder, isn't it, Bonnie? The main case of the season is Catherine and Caleb Hapstall, rich adopted siblings that are on trial for murdering their parents. Things seem pretty bad for the siblings, because the both claim they're innocent, and no murder weapon can be recovered. Plus, their adoptive aunt accuses them of incest and insults them with tons of racial slurs, and ends up dead also. The beak outlook of the case turns around when the Keating 5 discover Aunt Helena gave a child up for adoption, and their adoptive father was the child's father too and the true heir to the Hapstall family fortune. The best quote of the season comes from Annalise to D.A. Emily Sinclair, "Good luck proving the inbred weirdo didn't do it." Viola Davis also won a SAG award for her role of Annalise for last season, so she better go, girl!

     As luck would have it, Michaela gets involved with defendant Caleb, only as a result of having a wild entanglement with Rebecca's stepbrother, a.k.a. "eggs 911." In her defense, she didn't know who he was, but Wes did. The two gents teamed up to unsuccessfully find Rebecca and it was only revealed to Wes in the final minutes of episode 9 that Rebecca was dead. Annalise tells Wes in an effort to get him angry enough to shoot her. She does this to cover for Asher, who not-so-accidentally ran over D.A. Sinclair, who pulled up compromised cases from Asher's esteemed father's career as a judge. Annalise has Catherine drugged and sets up a scene at the house to make it look like she shot Sinclar and Annalise in anger, after Annalise 's team figured out she must have to do with the murders because she had a relationship with the inbred weirdo. We get flashes at the end of the episode of Annalise and her old flame, Eve, watching a young boy, Christophe,  in a police station being interviewed about finding his mother unconscious from an apparent suicide. Wes's mom also died from a suicide...

     So what happened with the murders from the previous season? Lila's murder just went on the backburneer as Annalise proved her client rebecca's innocence. Nate was tried for the murder fo Sam, and Annalise's old flame Eve represented him. This caused a lot of drama. Nate's cancer-stricken wife Nina asked Annalise to get her some pills so she could die in peace and Annalise wouldn't go for it. Nate did get the pills to his wife, and was investigated for charges of murder, but cleared after a blood sample swap indicated Nia died with no drugs in her body. Will these two crazy kids finally be together now that their spouses are dead? I hope not. They're nuts.

Here is the current body count because of Annalise and crew, not including the at least 5 murders involving this season's cases
  • Nia Lahey            - Murdered by Nate (humanely)
  • Sam Keating        - Murdered by Wes
