I've been doing season finale recaps for awhile now, mostly for my personal use. It's not easy keeping up with the happenings on as many shows as I watch, especially after a long hiatus. It occurs to me that they'd be safer posted here rather than only existing on my hard drive. So I'll post them here, and then post a link on Facebook to the respective recaps just before the new season starts in the fall. Up first:
How to Get Away with
Murder – Annalise had Nate (cop boyfriend) beaten up in prison to push for
parole, but the judge was punishing him for making the police force look bad.
Bonnie & Frank took pics of Millstone talking to the judge, creating a
conflict of interest for Nate’s attorney to exploit. The judge recused herself and Nate was
released on bail (really badly beaten). Annalise also told the prosecutor that
Nate and Sam had an altercation, providing an explanation for why his prints
would be on Sam’s ring. At the end, Nate finally called the number Annalise
gave him (for new lawyer?).
Bonnie and Millstone are a couple now, and Frank knows.
Millstone suspected he may have been used to get rid of the judge on Nate’s
case, but Bonnie said it was just coincidence that she was involved in that
case too. The prosecutor on Nate’s case showed up at Millstone’s door to talk
about Annalise. Uh oh.
Thinking Rebecca killed Lila, the gang kidnapped her when
she wouldn’t talk about that night. Also, she located the cop who saw Connor’s
car at the Keating house the night of Sam’s murder and threatens to call him. The
gang brings Annalise, Frank and Bonnie in on the kidnapping, taking Rebecca to
Annalise’s house where they unsuccessfully “put her on trial.” She manages to
send a text saying “Eggs 911, lawyer’s house.” What does it mean? Eventually
she tells Wes what happened.
Turns out Rebecca and Lila were good friends until Lila
broke it off with her, blaming Rebecca for her bad choice to cheat on Griffin with Darcy.
Rebecca seduced Griffin
to prove to Lila that he’s not worth it, further enraging Lila. Sam met Lila on
the sorority house roof and told her he was going to leave Annalise for her,
and then called someone to “do what we talked about—you owe me.” Cut to Frank
strangling Lila and dumping her into the water tank! Why did he owe Sam?
Rebecca found Lila in the water tank and hid in there when
others came to the roof, afraid she’d be accused. She went home soaking wet,
was spotted by her neighbor Rudy (who knew a lot about her relationship with
Lila), and proceeded to get him high on some dangerous drugs that caused him to
lose his mind. Then she called the cops to take him away to the loony bin
(where Wes and Laurel later found him).
Back to present day kidnapping: Rebecca escapes from the
basement, and Annalise wants to know who did it; no one confesses. Annalise
tells Wes, who feels guilty about the whole situation, to ease his mind by just
believing Sam did it (which it turns out is partly true). Then we see Annalise
and Frank standing over Rebecca’s dead body in the basement. Frank says he
didn’t do it; he thought Annalise did. But whoever did it must realize Annalise
is lying about the escape because the killer knows she’s actually dead, right?
Other random bits: When Laurel suggests that Frank will “take care
of” Rebecca, he gets all offended that she just thinks he’s a hitman (but he
did take out Lila at Sam’s behest). Laurel
returns Mikayla’s ring. She found it in Connor’s car, but she figured Mikayla
would stay quiet as long as she was afraid of her ring being found. Mikayla refuses
her ex-fiance Aidan’s mom’s invitation to reach out to him. Mom realizes her
boy is gay/bi and wants to lock him down with a wife. Connor’s hacker boyfriend
Oliver insisted they both get tested for STD’s before re-establishing sexual
relations. Oliver tested positive; Connor is still waiting for results. Hope he
wrapped it up when he and Ollie had sex.
