Tonight is the last show before we are all caught up. And we are supposed to get the story from Lila. This should be a good one.
Lila’s Story
Her story starts six month ago. She’s a nervous virgin. She has a virginity pact with Griffin but she has met a married man. Mr. Darcy. She is telling her story to Rebecca, by the way. They are unexpected friends. The goth chick and the sorority girl.
In their next scene on the roof Rebecca arrives with coke and molly for Lila. Lila is smiling and Rebecca asks why. She tells Rebecca, “We did it.” She said he made her feel safe. Then he couldn’t get enough of her. Lila’s phone rings and it’s a photo of Sam’s penis. They both giggle.
In a third scene Rebecca shows up on the roof again. Lila is crying because Sam wants to break up with her. Lila is thinking about staying with Griffin. Rebecca says that Griffin is a Jesus obsessed control freak who made her sign a virginity pact. Lila says Griffin was right. Lila asks Rebecca is it strange that she wants to go over to his house and show his wife all the pictures of his junk on her phone? Rebecca says that is normal. But but tells her not to do that.
The next scene shows Lila showing up crying and very upset at the law office. Bonnie opens the door and Lila asks for Annalise. Bonnie assumes it is one of Frank’s students of the month at first. She asks if she needs a lawyer. Lila says she needs to talk to Annalise about her husband. Bonnie tells her that she will regret this. She tells her to leave or she will call 911. She tells Bonnie she came to tell her something important. She can’t keep it a secret anymore.
Procedural Case
Woman on trial for killing her family’s nanny while on Ambien. She has shopped online, initiated sex with her husband and cooked a gourmet meal all while “completely unconscious.” The Keating Five go to talk to the mother. She is obsessively planning a party. She tells the party planner she needs his help because she will be going to jail soon. Each one of the interns is assigned a family member to prep for the stand.
Michaela is pissed that they do all of Annalise’s work for her. Asher has the trophy so he is not going to study for finals or deal with the procedural. He’s going to the bonfire. Connor wants to study with Wes. He also invites Laurel but excludes Michaela.
Everyone in the family is on a drug or supplement of some sort. The Keating Five are trying to coach them. They are all pretty bad witnesses. The son confesses to a romantic relationship with the nanny on the stand. No one saw it coming. Connor was his testimony coach. This won’t go well for him. Bonnie got an ass reaming too. My DVR hiccupped and I missed what exactly she said to Bonnie. Someone about having to put up with her in her house.
Connor’s witness is a problem. Connor tries to snow him but the guy is on to Connor. He tells him he didn’t kill the nanny. She did give him an STD, trichomoniasis. There is only one medication for that. Michaela uses this information to say she has won the case. Both the father and the son had the STD. They were both fucking the nanny. Annalise uses this information to incriminate the husband. He killed her and then woke up the wife to drag out the body and clean her up. He confesses. The defense rests.
The wife is pissed because Annalise has destroyed their family. Annalise tells her it is her husband she is mad at. She lied to him, betrayed her and took away her loyalty and trust. And that’s unforgivable. You’ll thank me one day. That’s something Annalise knows all about.
Annalise and Sam
Annalise grilled Sam in front of Bonnie. She says she knows about all his lies. She asks Sam if she knew Lila was pregnant. He says no. Annalise asks him if he is saying that because it is true or because he knows that give him motive to kill. Bonnie tries to leave the very uncomfortable discussion but Annalise won’t let her. Annalise asks if Lila was a virgin. He deflects. Annalise said he would know if she was, as if that is his thing.
Sam tells Annalise about Rebecca showing up to look for her gloves. He tells her she knows. Annalise says she told Wes not to tell her. Um, duh? She tells Sam she is going to lose her case because all she can think about his him fucking that girl. She is pissed she got pregnant so quickly. Sam keeps proclaiming his innocence in the murder but takes the blame for their marital problems. Annalise is blaming herself. I guess for her affair with Nate.
Frank and Laurel
Frank seems to like the idea of getting caught. They screw in the car. Frank has changed Laurel’s phone photo for when he calls to a shirtless picture of him. Later Frank DOES get caught by Sasha his girlfriend who introduces herself to Laurel and says, “you must be the student of the month!”
Wes and Rebecca
Annalise tells Wes that Lila was pregnant. She says they will run tests that will show that Griffin is not her father. This is good for Rebecca’s case. She asks Wes not to tell Rebecca. Wes asks the question we are all wondering. Why is she telling him this? She says because she learned her lesson about keeping secrets from him. Um, that’s still not a reason. He’s an INTERN and you’re the boss.
Wes agrees not to tell Rebecca. Then he goes straight to Rebecca. You have to imagine Annalise wanted him to do that. But why?
Aiden and Michaela
Still fighting about the prenup. Michaela also asks for the trophy from Annalise. Annalise says she doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter to her. Her future mother in law shows up at the law office to talk to Michaela. They go to dinner. They discuss the prenup. Michaela says she is not signing the prenup. The mother says, “either sign or I will cancel the wedding.” She refuses. The mother threatened to send her back to the backwater swamp she came from. Michaela goes back to slap her but she catches her arm. The mother walks off saying “at least I know I as right about you now.
Nate
Nate meets with Rebecca. Rebecca tells him that Lila was pregnant. Nate tells her to grab some hair to do a DNA match. If it matches, her case will go away. Rebecca goes to get hair from the bathroom. But Sam throws her out of the house. Rebecca calls Nate and says she didn’t get the hair but Sam texted Lila all the time. There has to be evidence on her phone. Or his. Nate gives Rebecca a jump drive to download Sam’s phone info onto. She agrees to do it. I don’t think she is telling Wes any of this but he is telling her everything. Oh just when I typed that, Wes shows up with his bike and sees Rebecca getting out of Nate’s car. Wes is pissed AWF. Rebecca says she felt like he was doing everything and she just wanted to contribute. Wes says Nate is her boyfriend and she is setting them up. Wes thinks Annalise is behind everything Nate is doing. I don’t think so. Connor shows up to study with Wes. Rebecca storms off.
Bonnie and Asher and Sam
Asher sucks up to Bonnie after Annalise chews him out. He invites her to hang out with him at the bonfire. Bonnie does a lot of lurking on the porch. Sam comes out and Bonnie tells him she met Lila the night she was killed. Bonnie says she knows the secret was that Lila was pregnant. He knew. He tells her there is no point in telling Annalise now. It would devastate her. Sam tells her that she has always had his back. He needs her now more than ever. They KISS! On the porch under the light!
Bonnie then goes to tell Annalise about Lila coming to the office/house. Bonnie thinks Sam killed her. He knew she was pregnant. Annalise asks Bonnie if he admitted to her he knew she was pregnant. Bonnie tells her he kissed her. He thought he was giving her what she wanted so she wouldn’t tell Annalise. Bonnie says, “He’s not a good man Annalise.” Bonnie is crying on the floor through all of this.
Annalise says nothing for a long time then she says, “You’re fired. Leave. And don’t come back.” Bonnie begs Annalise not to fire her and then leaves.
We get to see Asher doing his pre bonfire warm up dance and then Michaela arrives to steal the statue. She does a grab and run while Asher fixes a drink.
The Big Final Scene
Rebecca took the jump drive when she left Wes and Connor. Laurel shows up crying over Frank but pretends she isn’t. Sam walks into the house to find Annalise sitting on the steps talking on the phone. She was talking to the DA. She demanded that they take DNA samples of all the men in Lila’s life including her teachers to find the father. Annalise goes upstairs. So we have Rebecca on the way to try to jack Sam’s phone. Connor and Laurel and Wes headed to stop Rebecca. Michaela is running around God knows where with the murder weapon so she will have to get there soon. And we will finally see who kills Sam next week.
I think the safe money is on Bonnie. What do you think?
So Bonnie didn’t kill Lila? I haven’t watched yet, will do tonight. At the bar atm getting my 5pm drink on.
um isn’t it 3 pm there?

He was hot.
I always thought it was Bonnie too. But NOW…why?? Just Bc she’s a creep? Annalise just fired her? Does she blame Sam for the firing?
From the “previews” they show us, we see Sam going after Annalise (physically)…somehow. Not sure how “hard”, holding a woman’s hands in the air might just be him holding her back from scratching his eyes out! So then I thought Bonnie was trying to “protect” her boss from her mustering hubby, so she hit him with that stupid statue.
But then the most obvious question continues to remainnnnnn…WHY DO WE HAVE REBECCA full of blood telling Wes that “he tried to kill me, I had to do it, he deserved to die” and we have the team running around with SAMs corpse, burning him to hide the DNA.
So I end up back at the thought that they are ALL responsible. Somehow it works out that at the same exact time when Rebecca is sneaking into the house to tap SAMs phone, he catches her, Wes & crew also run in trying to stop Rebecca from “getting framed by Annalise who’s secretly working with her lover (BUT NOT BC WES IS SO DAMN STUPID)…somehow Sam grabs that statue & his instinct is to attack Rebecca to kill her & in self defense she attacks him back. But they MUST ALL be involved somehow Bc these people are just way too conceited & lose too much to lose to otherwise involve themselves with covering up a MURDER for Wes’s friggin girlfriend. They were ALL involved somehow.
My question through this ENTIRE situation, the same questions I ask myself with each theory, WTF was the statue doing back in the house? Why did Michaela bring that thing back to the house? But she DOES. Another idiot. Who goes to smack her future wealthy MIL Bc she wants a prenup??? Negotiate you stupid bitch.
But obviously she ends up right back at the house with that statue, Bc that’s how Connor also ends up outside Annalise’s, banging on the door hollering that he wants the statue back…right before SAMs dead body is rolled into the carpet & taken out.
And where is Annalise? Upstairs minding her own?
Ugh Fkn autocorrect. I rly hate it.
I MEANT: “murdering husband”
NOT: “mustering”
I MEANT: “are way too conceited & have too much to lose to EVER involve themselves with covering up a MURDER they had nothing to do with, all Bc it was Wes’s girlfriend?
I do to think so.
NOT: “just way too conceited & lose too much to lose to otherwise involve themselves with covering up”
Michaela had the statue in hand. This much we do know. Why does she return to the Keating house is anyone’s guess which by the way, is the door ever locked?
Michaela DEFINITELY didn’t kill Sam. For one Rebecca would never take or share the blame for her, and two the rest of the team wouldn’t either. They hate her. Three her precious ring is missing, which leads me to believe that someone snatched the murder weapon out her hand…think that’s how she lost her ring. In that scuffle.
So, Rebecca is headed back to that house to get into SAMs computer & he catches her. Obvi he attacks her. Where is NATE? Hmmm. Rebecca might’ve called him for help on the way there. Sam grabbed the trophy out of Michaelas hand to hit Rebecca with. Nate runs into the house & fights Sam, this bashing Sams head with it. Let’s face it he’s the strongest of this bunch. SAMs head was GUSHING blood. Michaela did that? I do to think so. Bonnie? She was busy having sex. It’s Nate. Damn. So why is Rebecca covering for him?
So many people, we really didn’t need another one in the mix with Frabk having a HOT girlfriend.
Who killed tank girl? Either Bonnie, Annalise or Sam. Maybe it WAS Griffin? I’m just grateful the damn bonfire is over.
Analease fired Bonnie to protect her. She realized that Bonnie is really loyal to her. Analease asked Bonnie, ‘And he told you that?’ Then she thought, Bonnie might get in trouble because Sam knows she told Analease. In one flashforward (when Sam was already dead), Analease called Bonnie first even if she fired her already, which means that Bonnie is the one she truly trusts out of everyone.
Also, Michaela stole the trophy (which is the murder weapon). That is why she is very very scared when it was used to murder someone. She might be implicated.
I think Annalise called Bonnie to create an alabie.
WHO KILLED LILA?????? She was supposed to tell us in her own voice in this episode, but that did not happen?! Of course not, what was I thinking that was going down tonight. pft…At least Sasha gave me the funniest moment of the knight when she referred to Laurel as, “the student of the month”. Too funny and accurately described.
I am out not sure who killed Lila. Maybe it was Sam, and we were led down all of these paths just to circle back to the obvious suspect. This formula does not work any more. Maybe it was Bonnie, whose character seems better suited for Twin Peaks instead of HTGAWM, because of her loyalty to Annalise and her desire for Sam. I do not believe Bonnie killed Sam because on last week’s episode, Annalise called Bonnie looking for Sam while Bonnie was in the bed with Asher.
Maybe Sam’s killer was Nate because he was enraged after losing his job due to Lila’s case and he still wants to be with Annalise or really stick it to Annalise after the way she humiliated him in court. I think Rebecca will get caught by Sam trying to download the pictures from his cell phone. Then Sam will attack Rebecca, and Nate will rush in to save her, which is when he will kill Sam. Wes will barge in right after the murder and try to console Rebecca as she goes into her speech about Sam being evil and needing to die. Laurel, Connor, and Michaela will be accessories to the crime after the fact once they walk into the house while Wes is consoling Rebecca. Annalise is out looking for Sam as all these people show up at her house as if they live there. Asher and Bonnie have an airtight alibi, so we know that leaves them out. Next week better make sense or I will save my eyes for another show for now on. :/
I was gonna try to continue my case for Bonnie being the killer, but you have now convinced me it is Nate. For now. Until I read someone else’s theory. But based on the editing, we didn’t have a decent reason for Nate to be killing Sam until he hooked up with Rebecca.
But how does Nate have time to do all of this with a dying wife?

IKR-he should be with her and not somewhere else. I call it the Waiting to Exhale (Terry McMillan book/movie) justification for abandoning a dying spouse. He now has time on his hands because he was fired and is obsessing over Sam and Annalise instead of taking care of his wife, just shameful 🙁
Well one person who didn’t kill Sam is Rebecca unless accidental. I’m kind of annoyed I wont find out who killed Lila or Sam in this episode. :/
Ditto!!!!!!!!
The cutest pokemon ever!!
I’m still riding the “Bonnie did it” boat…
I have the other oar so you are not rowing in a circle ;).
The only other theory I would accept if it is Annalise. Anything else will be a big fat let down. Who cares if Sam killed Lila, he is dead now…would be such an anti climax.
I’m still convinced that Annalise killed Lila, or had a heavy hand in doing so. As far as Sam, last week I thought it was Wes, but now, I’m not so sure. It could be Nate or Bonnie. The previews for next week indicated a twist, so maybe Sam really isn’t dead and this is the final exam where the K5 proves how to get away with murder.
I’m reaching a bit but, I don’t put anything past Shonda.
But um, blood was gushing out of his head and they set him on fire. I will not get in YOUR boat. No Mam.

Now I’m torn again!
All of the characters on this show are insufferable self-involved assholes, so my big question is why would any of them cover for anyone else? They don’t like each other. They aren’t passionate about justice or the law, just themselves. I don’t get it. And why would Laurel run to Frank after the deed is done? Why Conner to Oliver? What is the attraction between Wes and Rebecca? Is there anyone who would even give a shit that Sam got murdered? I don’t think so. There isnt one likable person in the whole bunch, cept of course Nate who is perfect in every way.
I get why they would run to their exes or whoever after the murder. Traumatic times make you do the weirdest things. Especially if drinking is involved. When my mother died I think I drunkenly hysterically died everyone I ever knew since birth. It’s embarrassing to thing about even now.
On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 10:20 AM, Tamara Tattles wrote:

I understand them running to exes, what I don’t understand is why Michaela is freaking out if she was not involved in the murder. Why do they all group together to cover it up if only one of them killed Sam? Especially if it was Nate who did it.
I assume Michaela witnesses Sam’s death because she brings the statue back, but if she is so freaked out and didn’t do anything why didn’t she just run and gtfo?
I think the fact that Michaela is the most freaked out makes her boat look intriguing. But then I agree that the rest of them would likely not be inclined to cover for her because they already don’t like her.

That’s my problem too khintx, these ppl DONT LIKE eachother they’re aholes and wouldn’t have their own mothers back let alone a member of their “team” who can be eliminated as a contender for the trophy lol.
Which is why I struggle with the whole “who killed Sam”. They must’ve all played a part in that sht or THINK they did or else they would NOT BE running around town with his dead corpse putting together the plan to get rid of it so they’re not implicated in any way. AS IF Wes and Laurel AND Michaela would all be helping Rebecca or Nate or Bonnie.
Did anyone think it was odd that Bonnie sat on the floor at Analise’s feet to sob and tell her story…. is she really that pitiful? Did Sam take her virginity when she was a young student? She is right about one thing, Sam is not a good guy.
Not only did I think it was odd. I thought for sure she was going to CRAWL to Annalise and beg her not to fire her.

Maybe she cracks him in the head after walking in on him and Annalise fighting??? LOL! She sure is freaked out enough for that to have happened! We shall see! 😉
Here is my theory. Annalise saw or heard when Lila came to the house and talked to Bonnie about a secret involving Sam. Annalise killed Lila to get her out of the picture. Once the authopsy revealed that Lila was pregnant and Sam lied to her again, she decided to frame him for Lila’s murder. As for Sam, I think whoever killed him was defending Rebecca and hit him with the statue from behind causing the blood to splatter on Rebecca. The fact that Rebecca is willing to take the fall for the killing leads me to believe it was Wes that killed Sam. Maybe Connor and Laurel are involved because because they both went to teh house with Wes and Micheala because she was the one that stole and brought the murder weapon. I don’t know where Nate fits in in my theory.
Am I the only one that thought yesterday that Bonnie might have been Sam’s previous wife, the one he cheated on with Annalise? Bonnie’s character and relationship with the Keatings is very odd. Why was she kneeling in front of Annalise? How could she allow her to call her pathetic in front of the students at the court house. The dynamic between her, San and Annalise is very strange.
I suggested that Bonnie was the ex-wife last week, and yes their relationship is very Twin Peaks strange. I felt Bonnie kneeling and crying before Annalise was a ridiculous display of an emotionally abused person seeking approval and absolution from an abuser/manipulator. When they sunk to this low, it became even lower when heartless Annalise fired her faithful deputy dog Bonnie. I want to know more about Bonnie, and I do not need her keep lurking around in the background like the Shadow.
I don’t think Bonnie was the first wife. I do think she was a former student of Sam’s he had an affair with…

And I can’t believe Michaela would try & slap the MIL….that is NOT the way to go about getting the prenuptial to go bye-bye….
My guestimate, at best, at who killed Sam would have to be Analise. And I say that only because I don’t see why the whole Keating Five would rally around Rebecca if she killed Sam, as we’re led to believe. They simply don’t like her. What else would cause them to band together than to think that they could possibly lose their surrogate mother figure than to possibly lose her? What else would drive them into the arms of their exes and others? And just look at how Bonnie confessed to her and groveled at her feet. Perhaps she used Bonnie as an alibi?
Yeah but Michaela has to get there with the murder weapon first… would Annalise really kill her husband infront of a student?

Yes, it’s possible. Analise is coming apart at the seems by now. We have witnessed that. Sam’s betrayed her; Bonnie’s betrayed her. There’s no telling what she’s capable of. Remember, the whole name of her game is “How to Get Away with Murder.”
I also think Bonnie is Sam’s ex-wife. I think Bonnie worked for Annalise, and that’s how she and Sam met. She kept Bonnie around, possibly out of guilt or more likely because Sam asked her to.
Didn’t Annalise and Sam meet when she was in law school?
