******Spoilers Ahead******
Welcome back! We begin our story where we left off, what we didn't know was there there was a ton of time missing from the season 2 finale.
Wallace Mahoney: I actually really want more of his character. Knowing this show, it is hard for me to believe that this is the end of Mahoney. I mean, he's dead of course but I feel that he is such an influential character to the story-line. They pushed the bar with his boldness in the last season.We have learned that Wallace is very racist, he uses black people as tools to sway a jury, and a tool for sex with his wife. He was on the phone and claimed: "I'd like to be there but if I show up then gossip starts." He clearly had an agenda, plus he has power and status, also he has a family. Last season, his wife was not the biggest fan of Annalise. Could Wallace Mahoney's family be targeting Annalise? Could Charles Mahoney be released from prison? Or is it his wife? I guess we will find out soon enough.
Frank: Ok, now this was insane! Frank played Wes like a grand piano. He has horrible intentions and played on the idea of Wes meeting his father. When we saw this in May it just seemed like a cruel coincidence, but now looking at this from a different viewpoint, we see that Frank is a lot worse than we previously thought. We had a lot of sympathy towards him as he confessed the truth about Lila to Laurel, and there was a part of us that wanted to believe that he was capable for good. I have to say that the shave was a smart move.
Laurel: I think we could really feel for you tonight. Think about it, you've had it pretty rough. You have had horrible experiences with your Dad, and on top of that, you fell in love with a slightly younger version of your Dad. Worst part is that once you figured that out, you fell in love with an even younger version of your Dad, only to have him leave you for another girl(it's ok though, she's a hugger. Ugh, this chick). Then on top of that the closest thing you have to a mother is abandoning you for falling in love with her hitman, and you basically have no friends(Sorry, Micaela and Connor don't actually like you that much). Poor thing, we'll come back to her.
Connor: Honestly, I'm a little confused but I'll try. So Connor begs Annalise to not hire Oliver, but she does it anyway because Oliver makes a convincing argument. He points out all of the weak-spots in her internet security. I started thinking about something being revealed about the previous murders, so I was like "You better hire him!" Anyway, Annalise spills the news to Connor that Oliver rejected his acceptance to Stanford. Connor isn't angry because he realizes that he just wasn't paying enough attention to Oliver. I get this piece because Connor doesn't want to lose Oliver again, he messed up before and that was a mistake. Now what happens next is weird...Oliver gets angry at this reaction and declares that he needs to find himself separate from Connor. So...they're done now. I guess.
Asher:.....still the same, just a little poor now.
Miceala: Man, this character probably has the next worse luck right after Wes. This girl cannot keep a relationship because she dates these horrible guys. She dated Aiden who was using her as beard to hide his sexuality. Then there is the guy she hit on at that bar who turned out to be gay. Then there is Eggs 911 who turned out to be Rebecca's foster brother. Then there is Caleb who turned out to be a serial killer, so there's that. Now, she's sleeping with Asher.
Annalise: She has taken up gardening. This is very interesting especially since last season the last thing she buried was a letter to her unborn child, Sam. Now that she has come to terms with her child's death she has become a new character. She learned that sometimes you just need to mourn and scream and cry for a while. She forces Wes to use that technique to rip Wallace and Frank out of their lives. This moment of vulnerability makes them even closer.
"I never wanted children, now I have 5 of them" Annalise cares for each of these kids in a different way. I this episode we see the way that she treats them has come into a new light. She becomes very soft when it comes to Wes and Connor. She doesn't keep secrets from them because she knows that they don't respond well to anger(of course this is much different in the classroom setting, but when it comes to discussing the murders). Her nurturing side comes out with Micaela because she has this special connection to Micaela as her "child", she even offers her a home to drink in. I believe that she is tougher on Asher when he asks her for money because no one spoon fed her. No one is helping Wes out, yet he can still afford to go to school. It is almost comical that Asher would ask to be white privileged by Annalise. Then there is Laurel, she is very interesting because she has the greatest potential to become Annalise. She has seen a lot of bad and has become very desensitized. I believe Annalise is trying to build Laurel up to be tough as nails.
The Phone: Is Annalise in the market for a new hitman? Did she try to find this guy because she didn't want to white-privilege Asher? What is the deal with this burner phone? How did Frank find the hit-man?
The ending: THEY HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! A new mystery, a new murder. So, who is the newest murder victim? Well we won't know until December, but this new mystery will be sure to excite us! I cannot wait
