Need to catch upwardly? Read our How to Get Away With Murder fall finale postal service mortem here.

After four long months, How to Get Away With Murder is finally back — and man, the globe has really inverse since this show final aired, huh? (I inquire this as I eat my body weight in chocolate bit cookies, not having left my house in days. Come back, November 2019!)

Subsequently Thursday's leap premiere, Murder only has v episodes left in its entire run. Simply if you thought the show would start to get cornball in its latest 60 minutes, you would be mistaken: Asher's murderer is however a mystery, Connor and Michaela are in the FBI's pocket and Annalise's fresh commencement is over before it fifty-fifty began. Before you weigh in on the midseason premiere, read on for the details of the episode:

WHERE IN THE Earth IS ANNALISE KEATING? | In the episode's opening scene, Annalise stares at herself in the mirror of a public restroom; we eventually come to learn that she's in United mexican states. Moving rapidly, she takes off her wig and makeup, changes into a new dress and ditches her bag in the garbage can, then exits with only her suitcase.

Moments later on, Annalise gets a text from an unlisted number, telling her to become to a nearby cafe. There, she meets up with an anonymous woman (who calls Annalise by her new proper name, Justine), and the two of them and so walk to another destination. Information technology's a long trek, though: By the time we catch upwardly with Annalise and her handler over again, the sun has set, and Annalise mentions they've been walking for more than an 60 minutes, but she still has no idea where they're going. Besides of concern? Annalise'south handler takes a phone phone call in which she sounds exasperated, and when she hangs up, she says "they" might know that Annalise is in Mexico. (Whoever "they" are.)

Finally, Annalise and the woman spot a automobile with a driver gear up to take them to their next location. Simply when Annalise'southward handler moves into the street to meet the driver, Annalise hesitates. The woman urges Annalise to "be smart" and come with her, but Annalise decides not to, moving back into the decorated crowd on the sidewalk. Her handler seems annoyed, simply she doesn't chase Annalise down; she merely gets into the car, and the driver pulls away.

Information technology seems Annalise should have gotten into that car when she had the risk, though. Seconds later her handler disappears, Annalise is all of a sudden approached by the Mexico police, and she looks completely shocked as they grab and arrest her. (But more than on that arrest in a minute.)

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Bonnie discovers that Annalise took off, and she asks Tegan if she helped Annalise disappear just similar she helped Laurel. Tegan reveals that Laurel had blackmailed her into helping her get away: If she didn't concord to assistance, Laurel would tell Jorge that Tegan was the Jane Doe who got him arrested in the first place.

Later on, Bonnie informs Frank that Tegan facilitated Laurel'south disappearance, and Frank goes to confront Tegan… but she'southward not intimidated past him. She tells Frank that she doesn't know where Laurel went; she only has a connection in Mexico — hmm, the same place where Annalise is at present? Interesting! — who takes intendance of things like this. And even if she did know Laurel'southward whereabouts, she sure wouldn't blab them to Frank and take a chance Laurel and Christopher'due south safe notwithstanding again.

ASHER'Southward Last Hour | Throughout Th's episode, the prove starts to slice together the night Asher was killed via flashbacks. In fact, so many of the timeline gaps are filled that I really idea nosotros might learn the identity of Asher's murderer in this episode. (Nosotros don't.) But even though the killer remains anonymous for now, in that location'due south i person in Annalise'due south circle who has started looking mighty suspicious. (Information technology'due south Frank. Considering of grade information technology's Frank.)

We go back to the visit that Asher paid Bonnie earlier his death, when he showed upwardly covered in blood. Asher starts rambling about a lot of unsavory topics — Laurel'due south disappearance, whether Annalise is the FBI's existent mole, etc. — and Bonnie suddenly seems extremely wary of Asher. She suggests that the blood loss has fabricated him confused and offers to make him some tea… and when she walks into the kitchen, we learn that Asher was recording that conversation the whole time, which Bonnie seemed to realize. Meanwhile, Bonnie surreptitiously calls Frank and tells him that she thinks Asher is the mole; he needs to come over and drive Asher home ASAP.

When Frank arrives at Bonnie's, though, it's Asher who seems wary of the two of them. And fifty-fifty though he lets Frank drive him home, he spends the entire car ride trying to convince Frank that Annalise is the mole — and Frank, naturally, doesn't seem to buy it. He'southward and then suspicious of Asher, in fact, that he insists on walking Asher to his flat door, then lets himself in to use Asher'south bath in one case they become upstairs. (And in the bathroom, he finds even more than reason to believe Asher's the mole: In the cabinet under the sink, Frank discovers a loose floorboard that seems to accept something hidden underneath information technology, though we're non shown what that something is.)

Earlier Frank tin can leave Asher's flat, Asher strikes up a very awkward conversation with the guy, in which he's clearly trying to get Frank to say something incriminating virtually all of the atrocious things that Annalise'southward inner circle has washed. But Frank doesn't take the bait, and later he leaves, a frustrated Asher listens dorsum to his recordings of Bonnie and Frank, but to realize that neither of them said anything usable that he can give to the FBI. He throws his cell telephone against the wall in a fit of rage… so, immediately realizing how moronic that was, he picks information technology up to observe that it'due south completely shattered and won't turn on. ("Stupid dumb rage monster!" he mutters, which isn't the nigh inaccurate nickname he'south ever given himself.)

Asher then goes across the hall to see Gabriel, who'south decorated listening to his own cell phone recording of Frank from earlier that day. (You call back the ane: "I wish I had killed Sam. Maybe killing his son's the side by side best affair.") (As well? One of our lingering fall finale questions was merely answered: Information technology was Asher who knocked on Gabriel's door the night that he died.) Asher asks to use Gabriel'southward phone, and Gabriel says no… until Asher offers to give him the $64,000 that he won from Annalise's final examination. Interestingly, we don't actually meet Gabriel hold to the substitution, nor practise we see him give Asher the phone. Merely in the present day, we do see Gabriel reading a news article about Asher'southward death, and he guiltily looks at the check that'south sitting on his desk.

Elsewhere in the present day, Bonnie and Frank try to assure everyone — including Nate and Oliver — that Asher'due south expiry was obviously Xavier Castillo's doing, and Xavier wants them all to bespeak the finger at ane another. Nate and Oliver seem skeptical, though, and even Bonnie seems to have 2d thoughts about that theory. At the finish of the episode, Bonnie asks Frank if he was the i to kill Asher, every bit all of those flashbacks have indicated he might be. "No mode I'g that stupid," Frank tells her, though it's not as disarming every bit he'd probably hoped.

DEAL OR NO Bargain| Last but non to the lowest degree, we accept Connor and Michaela, who are really going through it afterward getting arrested for Asher's murder. We've already seen Connor experience some kind of panic assault while getting questioned… just when a medic comes in and confirms information technology was a panic set on, Connor insists he'south had those before, and this felt different. Merely Amanuensis Lanford isn't sympathetic to Connor's struggles, and he refuses to transfer Connor to a hospital.

Meanwhile, as was teased earlier this season, Oliver suddenly confesses to murdering Asher, and it turns out he'due south not simply putting on a front to protect Connor. Every bit he confides to Bonnie, who becomes his lawyer, he really does think he's responsible for Asher's expiry, assuming that his initial accident to Asher's head later on killed him.

Connor, Michaela and Oliver later have their bond hearing; Connor is represented by a lawyer his family hired, and Michaela is represented non by Tegan, but by Kendra Strauss, an chaser her father knows. In the end, only the charges confronting Oliver are dropped due to insufficient prove, and he'south immediately released, while Connor and Michaela must remain in police custody. (And Asher's sister, Chloe, is none too pleased that even Oliver got off the hook, seeing as she stands up at the hearing and screams that "they're all murderers! They need to die now, besides!")

After, Connor and Michaela have carve up meetings with the FBI agents, in which the agents reveal a long list of other crimes — Rebecca's murder, Emily Sinclair'due south murder, yadda yadda yadda — that they think Connor and Michaela committed under the influence of Annalise. When asked why Annalise hasn't been arrested if she's the alleged ringleader, the agents reveal that Annalise has fled the land — and in gild to build a stiff case against her one time they find her and bring her to trial, they need Connor and Michaela's help.

Both of them are so offered a plea deal: If they sign, concord to evidence against Annalise at trial and admit that Annalise forced them to impale Sam Keating, they'll go five years for everything, and they'll exist released that day. If not? They'll stay in constabulary custody until trial, where the assistant U.S. attorney will endeavor to get them put away for life.

Connor and Michaela are left to weigh the options with their loved ones, and they both seem reluctant to take the deal. Neither of them wants to throw Annalise under the omnibus when she didn't commit whatsoever of these crimes, and Michaela worries that she'll never become a lawyer if she signs the amnesty bargain. But Oliver and Solomon passionately counter that they should take the deals: Oliver thinks Annalise should take the fall for everything she'southward put them through, and Solomon reminds Michaela that a jury won't care for her nearly every bit fairly during trial every bit they'll probably treat Connor. Plus, Solomon is wealthy and powerful, and he'll use every available resource to make sure his daughter does go a lawyer when this is all over.

Later, the FBI agents return to AUSA Montes (played by True Claret's Lauren Bowles) with some signed paperwork, and she seems pleased, though we're not initially told who took the deal. Then, at the cease of the hour, information technology's revealed that Connor and Michaela both signed — and they each gave the same stipulation to Agent Lanford that they would only sign if the other person got the verbal aforementioned protections they were getting. It'south not totally clear what Connor and Michaela's new sentences are, but they did talk Agent Lanford down from 5 years, then… yay, I think!

Connor and Michaela reunite in the hallway, looking exhausted and disheveled, just they're delighted to realize they both fought to get each other the same protections. "Swell minds," Connor says in atheism. "Brilliant minds," Michaela responds.

And so, later on watching his girl happily reunite with her friend, Solomon walks over to Agent Lanford and asks if he's located Annalise Keating withal. Lanford looks intrigued… and Annalise is arrested in United mexican states not long subsequently that conversation.
