How To Get Away With Murder 2x05: "Meet Bonnie" RECAP (AKA the one where people declare love for people in weird ways)


Oooh boy.
Previously on HTGAWM:


  • Annalise caught Nate and Wes communicating. Obviously, there's going to be some shit that goes down because of this. I predict that she starts off by saying, "I am protecting you," to either of them. Which, yeah, she is protecting them, but is there a way to protect them that doesn't require... pinning murder on Nate? 
  • Rebecca is buried in a cemetery. 
  • We still don't know what happened with Asher and Tiffany at Trotter Lake. Nor do we know about what happened with Bonnie. 
  • But we did find out a little bit about one character! Michaela was adopted! And she's totally interested in Caleb the adopted parent killer. 
  • Connor was mouthing off about Annalise last episode. I'm praying this doesn't lead to his demise, because I like Connor. 
  • Still no sign of Eve. 
  • Annalise almost killed her ex-boyfriend's she pinned the murder of her dead husband on (who was actually murdered by her law student she has an ambiguous relationship with) wife. The fact I even had to type that sentence just proves how confusing the world could be. 
  • Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Bonnie confessed to murder to Asher. 

Predictions that I kind of hope I'm either wrong or right about:

  • So we learn about Bonnie this episode, right? I'm going to copy and paste my predictions from last episode relating to her. "Bonnie. This should be the episode with her flashback, right? Maybe she came from a religious cult or an abusive relationship or family. I think Sam has something to do with it. Hear me out, okay? Sam was a therapist. Maybe he heard her story and felt like he had to do something. But Annalise was the hand that pulled her up from the darkness, so that's why Bonnie thinks it's all due to Annalise. Maybe Bonnie doesn't know that Sam had more to do with it, but Annalise thinks she does. Also, perhaps Bonnie actually killed someone in her past. She was talking to Rebecca about killing girls, and Rebecca said she herself didn't kill any girls, but maybe Bonnie was not referring to Rebecca. Maybe she was really referring to herself. "
  • I suspect that Bonnie is getting arrested this episode. I mean, she confessed that she murdered Sam. That wasn't even who she fucking murdered, though! God, Paris!
  • I really don't want bad things to happen to Connor (and I guess Wes) or Nate, 'cause they're just for the most part trying to live their lives. But they crossed a line with Annalise. 
  • I still think that Tiffany girl from Trotter Lake died from some fucking lame frat party. People have theories that she got pregnant, so that's why I'm just throwing that out there. 
  • I always pronounce Levi as Le-vee in my head. He's always going to be Levee in my mind. Levee fucks up and crosses a line with Michaela this episode and BFF Connor tells him off even though Connor would totally have sex with him if Oliver was out of the picture. Which we love Oliver in the picture, so let's always keep him in the picture. 
  • Annalise eats some more yogurt or ice cream this episode. It's recurring symbolism, the whole food eating stuff. I mean, the symbolism is that Annalise Keating is fucking amazing, but who said symbolism has to have a deep meaning?
  • I suspect that Wes is going to become more likable soon. I mean, he was a little less unbearable last week than he was the last few episodes last week. 
  • Connor and Oliver will probably do something cute or adorable this episode. Or they might repeat 2x02. I don't even know with these two anymore. I just want them to be alive. 
  • I still think those adopted twins are doing inappropriate things. Like, what if Caleb is one of those brothers that touches the inside of her thigh? What if they randomly kiss in the bathroom if one of them is too stressed out? I still think that there's something going on with them and they need to chill out. 
  • Who has sex this episode? Not Bonnie, since y'know, arrested. Not Asher. Not Wes (unless Levee is up for the challenge) or Michaela. Annalise has too many of her potential lovers forming alliances against her, and Eve is nowhere to be found. Maybe they'll say something about Connor and Oliver having sex, but they won't get an actual scene? Frank and Laurel are totally going to get naked this episode and have weird drunken awkward sex. 
I have a feeling that this is going to be a really intense episode, and I'm super excited. The last few episodes haven't had many " :o " moments (in my opinion) compared to last season, but I really am hoping that this is the one.

I've been so stressed out and anxious as of lately. I just need a great episode of HTGAWM.

Flashforward!

Someone is running away in the house. It's Bonnie! Maybe she isn't arrested! Bonnie goes into a car. Asher is there, panicking.

Asher is in court in the present, in deep thought.

Back to Bonnie and Asher, Bonnie is talking about why she murdered Sam. Except she didn't. She says that Sam was trying to rape her. She says she hit him with a lamp, killing him.



Back in court, Asher runs out.

Bonnie is in Annalise's office. Frank is there.

Michaela, Laurel, and Wes are outside the door, panicking. Connor comes out and says that their lives are owned by Annalise now, so they might as well drink a beer or two and relax.

Bonnie gets a phone call. It was about the Hapstall case. Annalise sighs, relieved.

Asher comes in, angry. He threatens to break Frank's face. Annalise lets him in and Asher wants Bonnie out.

Michaela and Laurel get upset with Frank for not telling what's going on with Asher. He says that they have an eye on him, just like the rest of them. BRING UP THE DATING SITE, FRANK!

Annalise says that Bonnie did actually murder Sam to Asher. She starts talking about how women are never taken seriously when they're raped. Then, she tells Asher that if he testifies to what he knows, Annalise and Bonnie are going to go to jail.


Asher goes back to Emily Sinclair and his father. He says he knows who killed Sam. Are you fucking kidding me, Asher? Seriously? Why can't you enjoy the bonding powers of lying about murder?

And... commercials.

Asher's dad yells at him because he withheld evidence. Emily asks what's happened and who murdered Sam.

See, Emily can't Annalise. She's not going to win anything by pure luck.

Keating Four are talking. They're talking about orgies. Jesus fuck, okay. They've been drinking. Connor tells Wes that he needs to be in it, because penis balances are important. We learn that Connor wants to know what Wes has to offer, and Michaela kind of likes Frank's beard. I'm sure you would love to know about his hitman status, too, Michaela!

Convo of the week happened here:

C: Would you like to go to jail without having an orgasm?
M: And you're going to help me with that?
C: I might give it a shot.
L: Back off, she's mine.

Annalise tells them what to do with the case of the Hapstall's, which I'm not paying attention to. At all.

Bonnie and Asher are talking in the car. He says that he hasn't said anything to Emily. Bonnie says the other students didn't know shit. He asks if the only reason Bonnie slept with him the first time was for an alibi. Bonnie says that yes, that's how they did start, but that's not how she feels now.

It's kind of sad, but... Bonnie.... you're a fucking liar.

Frank brings in phone records to Annalise. Frank talks about how Wes continuously calls Levee. Which is grounds to be suspicious of him.

Michaela is currently having dirty phone talk with Levee. Annalise takes her phone, but when the camera turns back around, it still looks like she has the phone in her shirt. Oops. Goofs happen to the best of us.

Annalise is in the car. Nate comes in.

Annalise starts telling him about Nia. She says she lied. And then she says that Nia kind of wanted her to... y'know, off her. Annalise says she's telling him this because she doesn't want anymore secrets between them. They hold hands and Nate says thanks.

"forgive me for making your life an utter hell"
"why'd you do it"
"for my law student"


Frank goes into the basement. Laurel is there.

F: What's wrong?
L: Nothing.

Then they kiss and shit.

Laurel takes off her pants and then her underwear.

This is probably one of the more intense sex scenes on there. I kind of hope Bonnie walks in. I don't know why, I just do, y'know?



Bonnie walks in and Connor, Wes and Michaela are there. Bonnie asks where Annalise is, and Connor and Wes start sassing her. WRONG! YOU DO NOT SASS PARIS GELLER. She will literally kill you. Literally.

Michaela pulls up a video that proves the parent killer's aunt is racist. Caleb walks in and gets upset.

Back to Asher. He's about to sign some papers. Asher brings up the David Allen case, and says that he should admit to what he did. His dad gets mad at him and Asher leaves in tears. Uh... did Asher just say he had a kid?

I mean, he could have just meant his dad isn't protecting his kid (Asher) but... I don't know, I hear shit sometimes. It's ridiculous.

Back at Annalise's, they're watching the video. Laurel comes in and everyone knows she just had her own version of D-Day.

Michaela, Connor, and Oliver are there. Oliver asks if he would get paid for this stuff. Connor says he doesn't want to work for Annalise. I agree. Michaela agrees. Connor says that he might get arrested and then he says he loves Oliver.

"what's wrong with you?"
"murder. nbd ily"


Asher and Emily are in a bar. Emily pressures him to tell about Sam.

Oliver managed to get the rest of the audio of the parent killer's aunt. It goes on, and she says that she wasn't sure if she heard anything. Then she calls the adopted kids half-breeds.

The judge is going to investigate about how the audio was obtained. Oh fucking no. Protect Oliver. Protect him. He's innocent and needs a shield from the bullshit.



Catherine yells in court about how the judge should understand the racist aunt is a bad person, because she's black.

Levee and Wes go to the cemetery. Levee talks to Bruno and pulls out a gun. What the fuck, Levi? Dean Thomas kind of has that same, "WTF???" look on his face. Dean/Wes intervenes and says nobody is getting shot, because Harry Potter is not this fucking dark. Wes just wants to know what Bruno knows. Then nobody gets shot and we can all go back to eating cereal at midnight.

i saved this as "nbd lol i just have a gun"


I'm so, so worried. About everyone. Jesus fuck.

Wes walks into the courtroom. They ask if Wes brought the drugs. Michaela walks in and pressures Bonnie to tell her what they know.

Annalise explodes on them and tells them all that Asher was going to testify against all of them.


Wes thinks about stealing some keys.

Bruno tells Wes that he just gave access to the storage locker.

Annalise starts to panic about the studets being nosy.

Wes doesn't get to steal the keys, because Frank takes them. It's kind of like a cheating spouse and their cell phone. Don't leave it lying around, you fucking idiot. Annalise calls Wes into her office.

Laurel, Connor, and Michaela start to team up against Wes. Or rather, plot to.

Annalise goes into Nate's apartment and panics about Sam.

Levi and Wes are outside. Michaela, Laurel, and Connor come out of a car and Michaela starts screaming. She assumes that Wes and Levee were gay for each other. It's.. really fucked up when that's your first thought, Michaela.


Nate is pissed that he took the fall for Bonnie. Annalise says she would die instead of hurting him again, because she hates what she did, and she hates herself.

You know your life is fucked up when you see a cop car come by and assume that you're going to be arrested. Luckily, Michaela, Laurel, Connor, and Wes aren't getting arrested this time around. Wes has the key though! I repeat: Wes has the key!

LEVEL UP!


The cops come by and take Levi in because he has meth in his trunk. Levi screams that he was set up, but what I learned from criminal justice in junior year was 1.) everyone says that and 2.) nobody believes it.

Bonnie and Asher are in a bar together. Bonnie says that she made a mistake. Paris/Bonnie starts to cry. She tells him that she's not the only one who will go down for this if he testifies. They say that they love each other. Asher walks away, and we know he's going to testify.

Bonnie goes to her car and starts to sob to Annalise. Bonnie says that she is stupid for telling him and that he's going to testify.


Wes, Laurel, Michaela and Connor find the place where Rebecca's dead body is. Laurel and Connor don't want to see a dead body. Which I really can't blame them for. Connor should have a normal life and Laurel should do whatever the hell she wants. But the Connor thing isn't going to happen. So, uh, Laurel....



Annalise comes into Asher's apartment and takes a flashdrive. She tells him to sit down.

Wes opens up the bag and finds money instead of Rebecca's dead body.

Frank put in the meth in Levi's car.

Michaela and Connor are pissed about being taken there. Laurel and Wes's brotp is over, too. Disappointing.

Annalise and Asher are watching a video from Bonnie's childhood. It's a video of Bonnie and her father. He molested her.

Oh my god. I'm going to cry. I'm going to fucking cry. I love Bonnie so much. Protect this murderous lawyer.

Flashforward,



Bonnie stops the car to pee. She goes into a bathroom and scrubs blood off herself. What the hell? What the absolute hell? She still looks better than me on a night of a murder.

Asher left the car in the flashforward. He went to the police.

My predictions: 

  • Bonnie did come from an abusive background. We don't know about the rest of that, though.
  • Bonnie didn't get arrested. That was Levee. 
  • Bad things happen when you tell your boyfriend you've recently entered a boring, domesticated relationship with that there's a slight possibility you could be getting arrested. I mean, what the fuck, Connor? Oliver seems so normal. And yet you're going to involve him in this bullshit. I think Wes is safe for now, and so is Nate. 
  • I think my theory about Asher might be a little bit wrong. I don't know anymore. 
  • Connor did start to tell Levee off, but then the whole 'arrested' thing happened. Oops. Why did I think it was Bonnie who was getting arrested? Oh yeah, because she confessed to murder to her blabbermouth boyfriend. 
  • I don't remember Annalise eating anything this episode. Oops. 
  • Wes is a little bit more bearable. I guess. He protected Bruno so it's fine. He's fine. Okay. Whatever. 
  • Connor said, "I love you," which is a big ol' fucking deal. 
  • Frank and Laurel had sex. I can't take them seriously because of the word, "Flaurel" like wtf even is that. Flaurel. Have you ever pronounced it out loud.
