"No More Blood," the title of the next episode of ABC's "How To Get Away With Murder," is one period away from the series' mid-season break and the revelation of who the dead person from Annalise Keating's (Viola Davis) burning house is. This episode also reveals the reason behind Wes' (Alfred Enoch) decision of ratting out Annalise to the police.
Annalise being in prison for arson and first-degree murder will be seen once again in this episode, where she finds out that it was Wes who framed her up. Knowing that this incident will put her and her career in jeopardy, she responds straightaway to the law student's deceit, which will lead the two to a confrontation. The question is, did Wes really betray the strong-willed professor, or is this another shenanigan that these two are playing?
Meanwhile, Annalise, still upset, says over a phone conversation to Laurel (Karla Souza), "You tell him that if he comes anywhere near this house he's dead.", referring to Frank (Charlie Weber) after he shows up at his ex-girlfriend's apartment. Determined to make things right, Frank appears in Annalise's house to speak with the attorney. It has been seen from the previous episodes that Frank tried to prove himself by setting up Charles Mahoney (Wilson Bethel) to be his own father's murderer.
According to the official synopsis of the episode, Annalise and Bonnie (Liza Weil) will turn to an unlikely source to get help, which will increase the tension among the Keating 5. Additionally, the law defender takes a surprising client.
Episode 8 also highlights the growing friendship of Annalise and Middleton University President Soraya Hargrove (Luna Velez). According to Velez in an interview with TV Guide, "They're definitely moving in that direction of [being friends]. Annalise needs a friend who is not part of this incestuous circle." This started after the episode during the AA meeting, where the president exposes her different side and leads them both to a "friendly" conversation.
The third season of "How To Get Away With Murder" is scheduled to air nine episodes during the fall until its mid-season finale on Nov. 17. The rest of the six episodes will commence showing on Jan. 19, 2017.
Watch the second to the last episode before the mid-season finale on Thursday, Nov. 10, 10 p.m. ETD on ABC.
