Annalise Keating has come to the rescue of her law students and her clients. She handles what comes her way without disturbing an eyelash. Whether itβs a murdered husband, a lying defendant or a tenacious district attorney, she doesnβt lose her head. She knows how to assess a situation and minimize the damage, leaving as few bodies as possible in her wake. However, in three days, Annalise seemingly loses control and ends up one of those bodies, lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. Whoβs going to come to her rescue?
Suggested Reading
Philip Joins the Family
After weeks of speculation, Keating and crew may have finally figured out who killed the parents of the adopted Hapstall siblings, and it seems at least one of the two may be guilty. As suspected, Philip, the illegitimate Hapstall cousin, was indeed aware of his biological relationship to the wealthy family, and he had some sort of relationship with Catherine, who attempted to confess and accept a plea deal for the crime. Of course, Annalise was able to save her client from jail time.
Sexual Healing
However, before the connection between Catherine and Philip is revealed, Annalise and her students all feel like celebrating β¦ and they do so in bed. Commence the sex-scene montage featuring Annalise and Nate, Michaela and Caleb, Connor and Oliver, and Laurel and Frank. Anybody have a cigarette?
Where are Asher and Bonnie? Asherβs somewhere with a heat pack strapped to his back after pulling a muscle dancing in excitement. He was the one who realized that Emily Sinclair actually had the office bugged, impressing Annalise. That led to his awkward βvictory danceβ moment. Sinclair used the bug to try to get info proving the siblingsβ guilt. Instead, Annalise played her, a recurring theme that may be motive enough for Sinclair to try to put a bullet in our favorite Middleton University law professor.
Bonnie was apparently still seated on the floor of her shower, trying to wash away the pain she felt after being betrayed and humiliated by Annalise.
Wes, who also was excluded from the sex montage, was home making the connection between Catherine and Philip, thanks to a painting she generously gifted him.
The Suspects
Everyoneβs pretty much accounted for and no one seems angry enough to put a bullet in Annalise in three days, although Nate did verbalize his violent thoughts toward his on-again, off-again lover. It seems more likely that one of the Hapstalls may be preparing to shoot Annalise and leave her for dead on the floor of the family mansion.
We know that after the shooting, Nate drops Michaela off at Calebβs, and Frank leaves Catherine in the woods. Whereβs Philip? Is he the one who decides to get back at Annalise for potentially sending him to jail and denying him the family inheritance? Is there anyone unaccounted for? Levi. Last we heard, Rebeccaβs foster brother was in jail, thanks to Frank and Annalise. Could he have been released and now be in search of revenge against the woman who locked him up and had Rebeccaβs murder covered up?
Itβs a good thing Annalise and her minions are all enjoying a much-needed reprieve from lying, conniving and manipulatingβeven if itβs only for one nightβbecause after sheβs gunned down, it might be a while before they have a chance to focus on anything other than either catching a killer or figuring out how to get away with murder.
