How To Get Away With Murder “Meet Bonnie” Season 2 Episode 5
We’re not sure we would go that far, but he is nearly certainly someone with skeletons in his closet and many angles to explore. Until somebody can provide me with a proper flowchart of where everyone now stands, let’s talk about what went down this week!
Bonnie’s lie to Asher may start as her simple way of trying to get Asher to not testify, but it gathers traction, affecting every character in different ways and eventually growing too big to stop. They do make a cute couple.
Back in present day, Asher zones out in his hearing for immunity and thinks about his last conversation with Bonnie. Bonnie and Asher, still in the auto, pulling over so Bonnie can pee.
Connor: At first he seemed a little guilty by saying this was her fault and that everything was her fault as she lay dying.
Still, the damage had been done. Asher then comes to the house to confront Annalise and ask if what Bonnie said was true. There’s nothing worse than believing you’d gotten away with covering up a murder only to have a few law student bro muck things up, you know?
Instead, both A.D.A. RBF and the judge do something no one else has bothered to do the hundreds of other times this has happened on this show, namely wonder exactly how Annalise got this kind of evidence from the police database no less. So, out came the bankers boxes full of evidence.
Annalise got mad at Michaela for talking dirty on the phone to Levi, mostly because by this time Frank and Annalise had figured out just who Levi was (bad news, in their opinion) and he should not be allowed to talk dirty to anybody, let alone Michaela.
Asher winds up in dual bar scenes – don’t blame him for drinking heavily this week, K? – once with Sinclair who implores, “don’t overcomplicate it” and makes the valid point that KILLING PEOPLE OR HELPING THEM GET AWAY WITH IT IS NOT NORMAL. This house is truly unclean. Maybe both? He says he loves her too. Goodness, a lot of people seem to run through that place, don’t they? While Sam held her tight, she grabbed a lamp and hit him over the head repeatedly. Meanwhile, Frank found out about Rebecca’s foster brother and Wes being in touch and trying to find leads about Rebecca’s disappearance. I’m guessing all of us figured that was what happened. All she has to do is show him Bonnie’s childhood.
The rest of the dashcam video is introduced in court and the judge accuses of Annalise of obtaining it illegally. Sinclair questions where she got to footage, as does the judge.
In present time, it looks like this time Asher is not going to be out of the loop of the big event of the season as he is in a vehicle with Bonnie as they leave the crime of the scene where St. Clair died and Annalise was shot. These were two very thought-provoking moments in an otherwise chaotic hurricane of drama!
Bruno tells Wes and Levi that Frank called him the night of Rebecca’s death to borrow space in his storage locker.
At the same time, Annalise has had Frank investigating what Wes has been up to. In yet another parking garage, Bonnie tells Asher about why she “killed” Sam. Bonnie breaks down in tears claiming Sam forced himself onto her in the bedroom. Whoops! That was not what she was going for at all. Homegirl needs to just take Connor and Laurel up on their offer to tag team her vajeen because everyone else is letting her down/lying to her. As everyone is arguing and saying they can’t trust each other, two “cops” show up – I’m using quotes because they look like they work the forklift at Home Depot’s docking bay and not like cops – and they search Levi’s auto and “find” two bags of meth in there. She then goes to Nate to find out what is going on with him and Wes and Annalise tries to tell him that Bonnie killed Sam. She then tells him that she was just protecting her and he asks her where his protection was? She wants him to watch a recording of a young Bonnie being molested by her father. While he still seemed dubious, he at least admitted that he’d been working with Wes, so clearly he was starting to come around a bit. Later, the group grows angry with Wes when they check out the storage space and it proves to be a dead end. But after much cringing and sad-hugging, the gang discovered that the suitcase in question was not full of a corpse, but rather a bunch of useless junk.
See, no body! Just several hundred thousand dollars, which Frank keeps in a suitcase in a grave digger’s storage locker. Nothing to see here. In other words, Wes was trash now. At the bar with Emily Sinclaire, Asher who still hasn’t signed a deal, is told by Sinclaire that he should be “one of the good guys” and not like Annalise. Secrets like that time Mrs. Nate asked her to kill her. This is an insane lie that is created to protect Annalise, but this is a frightful idea.
