A random touch that bears no further fruit, either. I kept waiting for Cecily Tyson to text back, "You look like you are HIDING A MURDER," but no. I assume she's coming back in the next round of episodes? Otherwise what was the point here? ## How To Get Away With Loungewear ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-4.jpg) However, let us applaud the glorious satin robe Annalise wears. Nate has shown up, and is acting like kind of a tool. Annalise has to give him a whole speech about how just because he's sad and he's been mad at her and she did him wrong, it doesn't mean she owes him a bang anytime he's feeling tipsy and a little horny and hate-sex-y. Too right, AK. Banging is not supposed to be a form of currency. ## How To Get Away With The Half-Blood Hapstall ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-7.jpg) Connor goes home and finds the place empty, open, and messy -- the milk Oliver dropped is still on the floor, for example. He deduces what happened, freaks, and bolts to Annalise's, where she and Nate and the gang strategize how to handle it. Amazingly, this involves playing by the rules. But before they can fully do it, Oliver strolls in with Philip, who apparently just wanted to talk nicely and has all kinds of reasons why he isn't the killer. Namely, that he isn't the right Half-Blood Prince. Oliver basically very intelligently -- for real -- made sure to bring him to a coffee shop and then to house full of people to make him explain himself, rather than staying alone with Philip. I don't know why this didn't involve closing the fridge. That seems like a silly piece of business that's purely for writing rather than being how Oliver, if he were truly trying to play it cool with P, actually would have acted. ## How To Get Away With Science ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-8.jpg) While everyone pisses and moans about how they can prove Philip is or isn't a Hapstall, Oliver quietly procures a utensil he used at the coffee shop. It appears to be a straw, although Oliver says he had "four coffees," which... would he have used a straw? Maybe they were iced coffees. And... refills. ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-17.jpg) And then Asher makes this face. It doesn't matter why. ## How To Get Away With Concern ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-9.jpg) Annalise is just trying to work and look awesome doing it. She is succeeding on at least one count, and I don't mean the bit about the office. Asher, though, wants to apologize for tipping off Bonnie -- AK is like, "I cannot even with that right now, moron" -- and then wants to know if she's heard from his Bonbon. She hasn't. No one has. So, this face Asher is making is RELEVANT, because he is trying to beam an apology into Annalise's brain while also getting information from it. ## How To Get Away With Hygiene ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-2.jpg) Bonnie is in her apartment, sitting in the shower, depressed. This is in direct contrast to at the beginning of the hour, when -- three days from now, in the Present Day dramatic sequences -- she coolly comes down the stairs to the freaking Pretty Little Lawyers and takes the gun from Wes and tells them all they agreed to the plan and they need to STICK TO IT NOW. Which only reinforces my feeling that someone killed Sinclair, the idiots were either there or discovered it, and they threw the body off the roof as part of an elaborately staged crime scene for which Annalise agreed to be shot in order to sell it. ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-10.jpg) And then Asher makes this face. It doesn't matter why. Although I decided it's because he can't figure out why Laurel is back to the cropped overshirts. ## How To Get Away With A Promotion ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-11.jpg) This week, the role of Bonnie will be played by Laurel Castillo. Laurel is thrilled to be asked to sit at the right hand of the godmother. However, this entire hour, all it involves is answering phone calls and relaying messages to Annalise. Which doesn't make Bonnie's qualifications or skill set seem that appealing, suddenly. ## How To Get Away With Meat Tenderizers ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-12.jpg) Connor wants Oliver to smash his laptop so that... I don't even know. They're afraid Philip will sue them -- he threatened to -- and Connor doesn't want Oliver's laptop to be sourced as The Root of All Illegal Activity, or whatever. Oliver hedges and so Connor grabs the sledgehammer and bashes it into oblivion. I use my meat tenderizer as a potato masher. Works beautifully, and way less finicky to clean. The More You Know. ## How To Get Away With Plea Deals ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-13.jpg) DA Sinclair, in this hour, has decided to offer a plea deal to the Hapsibs: Fifteen years apiece. Wes tells Catherine he would probably take it in her shoes; Michaela tells Caleb she wouldn't. Caleb, of course, then does take it, but times two: He decides to agree to 30 years if Catherine gets off entirely. Everyone's brains explode, and after some yada-yada, they convince him not to go through with it. SO THEN, Catherine decides to negotiate and she gets 10 years in exchange for Caleb getting none. Caleb is clearly a shitty negotiator, then. He was going to take three times that many. In your face, Caleb. ## How To Get Away With Whaaat ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-15.jpg) During these discussions, Catherine takes Wes into her painting studio, where -- as we have seen -- she does portraits of random families. I feel like we just walked into one of those companies that sells commemorative plates, or creepy figurines of babies, in Soap Opera Digest. Wes's reaction is like, "Ohhh... mmmkay... these are... totally good, and... stuff." ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-18.jpg) And then Asher makes this face, and it's because he has figured out why Sinclair randomly started offering up plea deals: She is listening to them. They signed for a bunch of new evidence boxes, and he thinks she bugged one of them because she lost Asher as her spy. He is mega-triumphant at this, which leads to a LOT of gloating and delicious facial configurations. ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-19.jpg) So then Asher makes this face... ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-20.jpg) ... and this gem... ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-21.jpg) ... and then this little beauty. Because he is STOKED, and all it takes to turn up his gloat settings to eleven is a word of praise from Annalise -- even when that word amounts to, "You are not as useless as I once suspected." ## How To Get Away With Writing ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-23.jpg) So the PLLs start scrambling through boxes -- while also staging a bunch of conversations for Sinclair's benefit, like about the Hapstalls confessing and having a murder weapon hidden in the basement -- and can't find any bugs. Connor is so frustrated that he hashtags it. He Hashertags it. Well, sir, as my grandfather used to say, Hashertags goeth before a fall. ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-24.jpg) And then Asher makes this face, because he realizes the pen Asher is using is the same one given to Michaela to sign for the delivery, when the dude ignored her attempt to hand it back to him. I don't entirely buy that this person -- or any -- would add those things together so correctly, but he does, and frankly, I could not be happier that he is the group's mathematician. Because then it leads to this. ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-25.jpg) Asher makes this face, and it has never been more DELIGHTFUL. He convulseabrates this discovery as silently as possible, until Frank finally translates that he ought to open up the pen. ## How To Get Away With Asher ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-26.jpg) And then Asher makes this face, because he is right, and I think we are witnessing what happens when he climaxes for real in bed. ## How To Get Away With Trickery ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-27.jpg) Sinclair shows up, high on her wrong information, and gets thwarted by the lack of evidence the listening device promised her. Sinclair, you are kind of dumb. I wish she had seen through that. The conversation they had was fairly stilted and also supportive and calm, which is NOT AT ALL the way these fools usually talk to each other. ## How To Get Away With Falsification ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-28.jpg) Nate gets wind of Philip giving a statement to the cops about the Pretty Little Lawyers' hacktivity, and so he finds the permanent record for a rando schizophrenic and changes the name to Philip's, so that the cops will brush him aside. Mission accomplished. He does this, though, from WITHIN the police office. Can't they trace that, or track the date and time that a document was changed? Nate JUST got his job back. Which, by the way, Annalise pointed out to him when she told him not to do this. She sounded totally sincere, which is probably a sign that she knew he'd do it anyway. ## How To Get Away With Bribery ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-32.jpg) Annalise gives the PLLs one assignment: figure out how to put a stop to Catherine's plea hearing so that she won't take the deal. They fail. They TOTALLY fail. They are the worst at everything. Granted, Annalise is the person who WENT INTO COURT without any kind of a strategy. Maybe if you want something done right -- or even done, period -- DO IT YOURSELF SOMETIMES. p>Frank, though, saves the day. He dips into his Rebecca Fund -- the money in the suitcase that once held her body -- and bribes a DNA clinic lady to rush the results, which prove two things: Philip IS a Hapstall, AND he is an INCEST HAPSTALL. I guess the now-dead aunt and the now-dead Hapstall patriarch slept together. That is... real ooky. Incest feels like a fairly under-represented market on TV and I am FINE WITH THAT. ## How To Get Away With Tank Tops ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-34.jpg) Frank then invites Laurel over for a home cooked meal. Mama's meatballs and sauce, etc. Except he's making the sauce in the TINY saucepan in the foreground, and I just doubt anyone who makes his mother's signature recipe only makes two cups' worth of it. If you are practical enough to hide a body and arrange for theatrics with a suitcase full of money, then you just make the whole damn pot of sauce and freeze some. ## How To Get Away With Art ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-35.jpg) As a thank-you for listening or whatever, Catherine sends Wes this portrait from her collection. So... now he has a portrait of a random family. What a weird gift. It's like buying someone a photo frame, removing the photo that came with it, and inserting a DIFFERENT random photo that you found from the Internet and being like, "You don't know any of these people, but I wanted you to have them anyway." ## How To Get Away With Orgasms ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-36.jpg) Annalise gets the case against the Hapsibs dismissed or whatever. Caleb and Michaela celebrate with a sausage fest, during which it's implied she finally gets the orgasm that everyone else -- including poor maligned Eggs 911 -- may have denied her. ## How To Get Away With Great Robes ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-37.jpg) Annalise has YET MORE good nighttime wear. Someone went shopping. And its a good thing, because when Nate comes over, this time he wants to remove it for nice, non-drunken, non-vengeful reasons, and she wants to let him. ## How To Get Away With Pecs ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-38.jpg) This photo is my gift to you. Happy Thanksgiving. ## How To Get Away With Hiding ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-39.jpg) After Caleb and Michaela bang, he sheepishly tells her that he needs to show her something. Then he takes her into Catherine's Wack Factory and opens up a vent in the wall, and boom, a gun. Okay. So. You're telling me the cops searched this house and they DIDN'T LOOK INSIDE A VENT FOR A GUN? A vent in a room full of creepy and obsessive-looking portraits of people the artist has not met? You REALLY aren't tearing through that sucker with a fine-tooth comb? FIRE TED. Wait, wrong show, that's The Royals. Well. FIRE COPS. ## How To Get Away With Creepy ![how to get away with murder recap season 2 episode 7](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-40.jpg) And now the actor who gets to play Incest Hapstall climbs into a car... which Catherine is driving. So they are in SOME kind of cahoots, which I suspect will end in tears in the next episode. I am okay with that. I just hope poor Philip doesn't get typecast. [Fug the Show: How To Get Away With Murder recap, season 2, episode 8There are SO MANY Asher Faces this week, y'all. If this show ever gets cancelled, someone needs to make him an album. Or a video montage. Also, I am crazy, and there is apparently one more episode before the hiatus. So we're still powering ahead to all the bigger reveals.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2015/11/how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-3-e1447722811630.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-the-show-how-to-get-away-with-murder-recap-season-2-episode-8-11-2015/)
