The first nine episodes alternate between the present - day timeline in medias res, depicting Wes, Connor, Michaela, and Laurel covering up Sam 's murder by disposing of his body, and flashbacks detailing the course of events leading up to Sam 's death, including Annalise 's becoming involved in the Lila Stangard investigation, at Wes ' urging, leading her to discover Sam 's affair and creating suspicion that he killed Lila.

Season 3 Main article : How to Get Away with Murder ( season 3 ) In the aftermath of Wallace Mahoney 's death, all five of the students attempt to move on. A new mystery arises around the burning down of Annalise 's house and who was found dead inside.

Oliver starts working for Annalise, and he leaves Connor when becoming disgusted with himself for rejecting Connor 's Stanford acceptance.

Ultimately, it is revealed that it was Wes who died, and that he was killed before the fire. Annalise is arrested for Wes ' death. Frank attempts to help Annalise by confessing to killing Wes. It is further revealed that Wes ' death was commissioned by Laurel 's father, who disapproved of their relationship. Season 4 Main article : How to Get Away with Murder ( season 4 ) In season four, Annalise works with a therapist, Dr. Isaac Roa, to see through her recovery from alcoholism. She initially cuts ties with Bonnie ( who moves to the DA 's office as an assistant district attorney reporting to DA Todd Denver ) and the interns, gets a woman with a long rap sheet freed from jail, and then commits to a major class action against the state for miscarriages of justice caused by an underfunded public defender 's office. Laurel deduces that her father, Jorge Castillo, is responsible for Wes ' murder and hatches a scheme to steal incriminating evidence from his law firm with the help of Michaela, Oliver, Frank, and Asher. During the data heist, their classmate Simon ( Behzad Dabu ) accidentally shoots himself with Laurel 's gun, leading to Asher 's arrest, and Laurel goes into premature labor after being accidentally struck by Frank. Annalise successfully saves the baby. However, Jorge claims custody of his grandchild by submitting evidence of Laurel 's past addictions and history of mental illness to a judge.

Mary McNamara from Los Angeles Times wrote about Viola Davis ' performance : ``... all eyes are on Davis, Tony winner and Oscar nominee. Magnetic and intimidating, Davis creates an implacable surface beneath which shimmers all manner of fleet and startled emotions.

'' Entertainment Weekly 's Melissa Maerz described Davis ' performance as `` powerfully layered. '' David Hinckle, from New York Daily News, said that the series does not serve up enough fun unlike Rhimes ' other shows, Grey 's Anatomy and Scandal.
