We didn't know that he bought a phone and made a call until that scene.

Ah you are right. I might rewatch these episodes.

Did they show what happen to the ring?

I don't think so. Maybe we'll get an answer to that question in the next episode. I really want to know why Keating's side piece lied about the husband's alibi. I assume it's because he wants to get back in good with his dept but he'd let his lover go back to a murdering husband for the sake of his career?

It's clear to me at this point that Sam's murder was orchestrated by Annalise, and this is the murder the title refers to.

I don't think so. I don't think she would get the kids involved in a murder plot.

Why not? She's a hypocrite when it comes to having affairs, her boyfriend left her and basically accused her husband of being a murderer (for which he has only circumstantial evidence), and her life is falling apart. She's a pompous ass most of the time, which makes me wonder why any man would put up with her. Her assistants seem to have no problem with using illegal and unethical means to help her win cases, and she offers no objections when they do. That's exactly the kind of person I can see getting her assistants to assist in a revenge murder. What other motive would they have for killing him?

Re: How To Get Away With Murder (ABC) -- S: Viola Davis -- Season 1 Thread -- 9/25/14

Don't agree with half of those things but none of them would make me believe someone was capable of murder. Besides she comes off as highly intelligent. Having a bunch of emotional kids help with a murder sounds highly stupid.

I suspect the guy tried to kill her or one of the kids but they killed him instead. However, it was done in such a way they couldn't go to the police and be sure they would come out clean so they got rid of the body.

Either way we'll find out sooner or later what went down.

Why not have Paris (well, I only know her as Paris from Gilmore Girls.. LOL) be the one pulling the strings?

Haven't seen the latest episode, but I'm thinking that Paris killed the husband because she obviously had a thing for him, and not being able to have him because he was married to Annalise is one thing, and maybe he even turned her down because of this, but then she likely found out that he was banging the dead chick from the phone, lost her shit and killed him. That's my theory.

Annalise's female assistant lawyer. She was Paris on Gilmore Girls and that's how most people remember her and still call her by that name, myself included.

I'm guessing next episode we will see how Frank's murder went down. The girl's murder will still be a mystery. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being she killed herself but would hate that.

Re: How To Get Away With Murder (ABC) -- S: Viola Davis -- Season 1 Thread -- 9/25/14

Yeah I meant Sam. I can't keep these guys straight.

Anyway looks like my prediction was right. We now know who murdered Sam. I think the big thing now is who killed the girl and what the heck is up with the ring. I think the ring ties in with the prenup.

With how messy this show is I think the break will hurt it. I think it comes back in January.

Annalise knows who killed Sam and allowed them to cover it up. Accessory to murder after the fact is still big jail time. I still don't understand how Annalise could have gone home and made that phone call from what appears to be her bedroom without seeing Sam's dead body on the floor. Misdirection to fool the viewer, because she was really trying to fabricate an alibi for herself?

I noticed these fools handled the bags and trashcan lid without gloves.

I missed when Wes detached himself from the group to go back to Annalise's house. Was that shown before Wes encountered Annalise at the end?

I don't know how a ring can just drop off your finger, but I bet it's in with Sam's remains.

Wes detached himself when he took Rebecca to the hotel. We see in the flashback that he remembers to go get the murder weapon and then goes to the group and tells them they have to remove the body. When he grabs the statue, that's when he runs into Annalise. I wonder did she convince Wes to remove Sam's body.

It made sense for Wes to kill Sam though I didn't see the help from Michaela coming. I'm interested in finding out how Bonnie is involved with the cover-up.

Probably. She does have him cold on murder after all. That suggests the coin flip Wes suggested was fraudulent.

We are shown that the coin flip was faked. Wes seeing Annalise suggest that everything Wes does after seeing her was probably suggested by Annalise. Why didn't Wes tell the others though? Also did Wes tell Annalise the others were in on it? I could see Wes leaving the others out of it.

Holy shit!!

Last night's episode was fucking crazy!!! I'm really surprised that hardly anyone here is watching this. I know a few posters bashed it in that other thread after only watching 1 or 2 episodes without really seeing anything yet.

Looking forward to the last few episodes when it comes back.

I hate drug dealer felon Rebecca and dumbass Wes. They need to be locked up forever. My theory is that Annalise unleased all of this to get her students to kill her husband and get away with it. She fights with Sam to get him agitated and then sets Nate with stupid Rebecca so she would confront him. Wes of course would come running like a lap dog and then the confrontation may turn violent. Either way, I think even though she looked pitiful and desparate during the whole finding out the affair, I think she is putting on an act.

^Interesting theory. Initially, I thought the big reveal would be that Annalise killed him. Then they thoroughly misled us until the reveal that she was at least involved in the coverup. Maybe Bonnie had an "assignment" from Annalise to get Carter out of the way -- she had been fired and wanted back "in."

Annalise must have orchestrated the entire coverup and given the whole plan to Wes, since he could never have invented it on his own. He was pretty calm while everyone else freaked out.

I don't think Bonnie is involved in the cover-up. I think Bonnie killed Lila.

I kind of think Bonnie is in love with Annalise. Maybe not in a sexual way but I think she has deep feelings for her. The kind of feelings that would make her want to sleep with anyone Annalise is with. Maybe she even wants to be her. I think she is the villain behind the curtains.
