‘How To Get Away With Murder’ Recap: “Mommy’s Home”

“Mommy’s home.” Truer words have never been spoken. Annalise Keating, the mother of all crazy, lies, deception and cheating, has come home to roost in her house of death.

From the opening moments of Annalise Keating painting on her make-up, it becomes clear that getting away with Sam’s murder (and possibly Lila’s, but we’ll get to that later), will be her greatest masterpiece.

But for wanting to get away with murder, these people don’t do a very good job of keeping a secret. Annalise tells Frank all the dirty details, Wes tells Laurel Annalise knows, and then Laurel essentially tells the rest of the pack that Annalise is in on the plan. We’re not off to a good start on the secrecy thing, at least with each other.

But ultimately, forget who killed Sam Keating…who killed Lila Stangard? There’s no way Sam Keating did it — that’s too obvious for Shondaland. We apparently only have five hours left of this twisty, turny fun this season, and the final episode’s title of “It’s All My Fault” has me leaning toward the theory that Annalise killed Lila in a rage and was working to frame Sam for it all along. As Frank pointed out, no one is that excited to find out their now-dead husband knocked up a murdered girl. Unless it means she can get away with Lila’s murder…

“How to Get Away With Murder” airs on Thursdays at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC.
