‘How to Get Away with Murder’ Recap ‘What Did We Do?'

On the winter finale of How to Get Away with Murder, Bonnie returns, Asher gets life-changing news about his dad, and viewers finally learn who shot Annalise.

Shots ring out at the Hapstall mansion. Annalise is seen twitching on the floor, lying in a pool of blood.

Fourteen hours earlier, Connor is briefed on what Michaela and Caleb have discovered. He knows Michaela only called him since she and Caleb have hooked up. Michaela and Caleb are both worried and wonder if they should dispose of the gun somehow. As they consider their options, Catherine enters, complicating matters.

At the Keating house, Annalise says she won’t be disposing of Catherine’s painting yet. She needs to get in touch with Catherine to discuss things, but a call from Michaela informs Annalise that Catherine has run away. Later, when Annalise shows up to the Hapstall mansion, she becomes upset with Michaela and Caleb for tampering with evidence. Annalise also says she can no longer represent Caleb and his sister, given how Catherine has gone rogue.

At the precinct, the D.A. accuses Nate of manufacturing evidence to make Philip look guilty as a ploy to help Annalise.

Frank tells Annalise information on Judge Millstone has been leaked to the paper. Annalise is more concerned that Frank finds Catherine before she does something she’ll regret. Meanwhile, Asher tries to reach his father to let him know he’ll smooth things over with the leaked info and a surprise visit from Bonnie brings some shocking news.

Nate talks to Annalise and fills her in on the D.A.’s accusations. The D.A. doesn’t have anything tangible to nail him with, but he blew up on her, which means he’ll probably get fired.

Later, Laurel finds out that Asher’s dad killed himself and Asher and his mother share a difficult conversation following his father’s death. Overwhelmed by his mother’s confession that she wants nothing to do with him, Asher has a breakdown.

Bonnie feels guilty that Asher’s dad is dead because of Annalise selling him out. Frank continues to track Catherine.

Annalise recalls blackmailing Asher’s dad while at the Hapstall mansion and is informed of another D.A. problem.

Fights between Annalise’s students erupt when they learn that Michaela has been sleeping with Caleb and no one has reached out to Asher following his dad’s suicide. Later, Annalise announces that the D.A. will be arriving soon, so they must tell her everything.

With Catherine looking guilty, Annalise will only represent Caleb, but it’d be best if he wasn’t present when the D.A. shows. Michaela is asked to bring Caleb to her apartment, though Caleb isn’t the most cooperative.

Eventually, the D.A. arrives, dead inside the trunk of Bonnie’s car.

Flashback to 12:26 p.m. when Nate attacks the D.A. for accusing him of planting evidence.

9:18 – Annalise tells her students the D.A. is coming and they’re going to clue her in on what they know.

9:25 – Asher arrives a few moments after Bonnie and Annalise asks her students to make Asher’s accident look like an even bigger accident. When Connor expresses his doubts, Annalise tells Asher who really killed Sam as a way to bait them all into helping. The plan is to craft an alibi to make Catherine look responsible.

Simultaneously, Annalise’s students help Bonnie dispose of the D.A.’s body, Annalise calls the D.A. as part of her plan, Wes overhears a call between Annalise and Frank explaining how Nate is the one she’s protecting, Annalise calls Catherine asking her to return to the mansion, and Connor and Michaela leave, not wanting any involvement in the cover up.

Laurel contemplates putting the gun in the pool until Wes admits he called Nate for help.

Michaela and Connor fight and Wes and Laurel overhear, eventually catching up to them. Bonnie drops the D.A.’s body over the balcony.

Catherine hides out at a motel and texts Philip her room number so they can meet up. Unfortunately, Frank gets there first and uses chloroform on Catherine to knock her out.

Bonnie threatens Connor, who still refuses to help, before taking the gun. Asher is aware that the cover up won’t hold and panics, so Bonnie takes him away. She cleans up blood evidence in a public restroom and Asher washes his car at the car wash. Asher also wonders if the cops will be fooled by the fake crime scene.

Frank drugs water before giving it to an unconscious Catherine.

Philip parks outside the Hapstall mansion and tries calling Catherine again. He seems worried about her.

Michaela works to remove any evidence of the group inside the house when Annalise enters with the gun that Bonnie left. Annalise calls 911, claiming to have been shot by Catherine.

Nate hears the call come over the radio while on his way to Wes and the others.

Annalise asks Connor to shoot her, so the last part of the plan will be carried out, but he refuses and leaves. Michaela follows suit.

With few options remaining, Annalise turns to Wes, who lets her know that he called Nate for help. Wes is just about to head out with Laurel when Annalise reveals that Rebecca is dead and she lied about it for a while, prompting Wes to snap and shoot her in the chest.

Ten years earlier, Wes sits in an interrogation room discussing his mom’s suicide with a detective. Annalise and Eve watch from the other side of the glass and Eve asks Annalise, “what did we do?”
