How To Get Away With Murder, starring Viola Davis, airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC.
Talk about leaving someone on a cliffhanger.
ABC’s How to Get Away with Murder went on hiatus following their mid-season finale depicting a series of events that could have changed the season forever. In order to frame the lawyer’s current client, Catherine Hapstall, for murder, Annalise calls 911 saying she’d been shot, then begs her students to shoot her. When they all refuse, Annalise uses Wes’ rage over the disappearance of his girlfriend Rebecca as fuel, resulting in him grabbing the gun and shooting her. The students then fled the property, leaving Annalise for dead.
Airing on Thursday, February 11, the mid-season premiere did little to explain the actions of the show’s main characters and left audiences wanting more. Following its typical formula, the episode ended with more questions about the mysterious relationship between Professor Annalise Keating and student Wes Gibbins.
While that maybe a good way to tease viewers, it’s also a sure fire way to lose them all together.
