How to Get Away with Murder (season 2)

Annalise and her students try to move on after Rebecca's disappearance, while Frank and Annalise discuss who killed Rebecca. Wes begins to act out in class, but after confronting Annalise about her suspicion of him, he apologizes. Meanwhile, Annalise takes the case of Caleb and Catherine Hapstall, adult adopted siblings accused of murdering their wealthy parents. The prime witness in the case, the siblings' aunt, is murdered after testifying in court. It is revealed that Bonnie killed Rebecca in order to protect Annalise. Annalise asks lawyer Eve Rothlo, later revealed to be Annalise's ex-lover, to take Nate's case, which she agrees on. Connor proves his commitment to Oliver by moving into his apartment, while Michaela attempts to contact "EGGS911", the person Rebecca texted, and she receives a return text. Annalise takes her students dancing after being reminded of her earlier days at law school with Eve.

Annalise and her team are blindsided when investigators try to pin a new charge on the wealthy siblings she's been hired to represent. Meanwhile, things for Annalise become even more difficult when she's brutally cross-examined on the witness stand during Nate's preliminary hearing.

When Annalise takes on a new client, the team must investigate a very high end sex club to get answers. Meanwhile, Annalise is still representing the siblings accused of killing their parents, but the case takes a turn for the worse when a new motive surfaces, and Wes discovers that the man Michaela has been seeing, Levi, is Rebecca's foster brother.

Annalise is hired to defend a teenage girl who, along with two other popular girls in her school, killed her best friend in cold blood. Meanwhile, Annalise sends Michaela to Caleb and Catherine to find out the truth about the accusations being made at the siblings. Nate's wife Nia asks Annalise to meet her and requests she do something for her. Also, Nate, Wes and (secretly) Levi try to find out what happened to Rebecca.

Asher discovers not everything is what it seems when you work for Annalise. While Annalise tries to reassure Asher, we get a glimpse of Bonnie's terrifying past. Meanwhile, Frank is presented with a situation that hits close to home, and Wes’ search to find out more about Rebecca’s disappearance culminates in an explosive confrontation.

Annalise takes on a new client, a transgender professor accused of killing her husband. Meanwhile, the Keating 5 are left to handle the Hapstall case and they discover a shocking new suspect. Nate's wife passes away. Laurel meets Frank's family. The DA starts a corruption investigation into Asher's father with the information Annalise gives him. Annalise and Wes have a confrontation about Rebecca. It is discovered by Oliver that Helena Hapstall had a secret baby, Philip Jessup.

Annalise's new client is a man accused of making his ex-wife's husband commit suicide while Frank brings in Oliver to help with the Hapstall case. Eve is back, representing Nate who is now accused of killing his wife. Bonnie is struggling to come to terms with what Sinclair told her about Trotter Lake and Asher's involvement and discovers Annalise told Asher about her past. After attempting to get DNA from Philip, Oliver returns home to wait for Connor only to see Philip in his house.

Connor returns home to find Oliver gone. He confronts Annalise and everyone at the office and, as they are about to call the police, Oliver and Philip arrive. Annalise tries to apologize to Philip and he leaves after blackmailing Annalise and also explaining that he's not the killer. Oliver reveals that he kept one of the straws that Philip used at the diner where they had been talking. After being taunted by Annalise, Frank uses some of his money from a suitcase to pay off a nurse to get the DNA results from the Hapstall crime scene and Philip's straw. The match is 99.4%, resulting in both Caleb and Catherine turning down their plea deals. The DNA also confirms Philip is a product of incest, the child of Helena Hapstall and her only brother, Catherine and Caleb's adoptive father. Catherine sends one of her paintings as thanks to Wes. As Wes goes over the case file photos, he notices that in the background of Philip's screenshot is one of Catherine's paintings and informs Annalise and Nate. In the end, a nervous Catherine waits in her car until Philip gets in and says, "Don't worry. I'll take care of it," while Caleb simultaneously reveals to Michaela a gun he found in Catherine's studio.

Catherine runs away after being confronted by Michaela, Caleb, and Connor about the gun. Asher's father commits suicide, leading Asher's mother to disown him. Sinclair accuses Nate of tampering with Philip's file, which makes Nate yell at her and causes him to (almost) get fired. However, Nate files a harassment lawsuit based on racism against Sinclair. After Sinclair badmouths Asher's father, Asher runs her over with his car, killing her. Annalise frantically tries to help cover everything up by having Frank find Catherine and frame her for Sinclair's murder. She makes Bonnie and Asher throw Sinclair's body off of the roof to make it look like suicide and Annalise tries desperately to get one of the Keating Four to shoot her, making it look like Catherine did it. When none of the students want to shoot Annalise, she reveals to Wes that Rebecca is dead, leading Wes to shoot her in the gut instead of the leg like she planned. Wes is about to shoot Annalise again; this time he has the gun pointed to her face at close-range, but before he could squeeze the trigger, Annalise whispers Wes's birth name, Christophe. Shocked that Annalise knows his real name, he puts the gun down and flashes back to when he was 12 years old.

A few weeks after being shot, Annalise returns home from the hospital with help from Bonnie. The students try to deal with the fallout of murder night, with Wes suffering a large amount of guilt over shooting Annalise. Meanwhile, Annalise starts to hallucinate about a baby because of her medication, which causes trouble for her in court when she is forced to take the stand regarding her shooting. Asher crashes at Connor and Oliver's place after struggling with killing Sinclair.

Wes visits the doctor to get sleeping pills because his guilt has been causing insomnia but, after joking about suicide, he is checked into the psych ward. Laurel tries to convince Annalise to help Wes, but she refuses. Meanwhile, Annalise and her team take on the case of a teenager, Jason, who murdered another teenager, with the victim's mother trying to reduce Jason's sentence as she doesn't want to ruin his entire life. However, it is revealed that Jason did in fact kill the victim on purpose and he is sent to jail, but not before the victim's mother promises to stay in his life. After learning about Wes being in the psych ward, the Keating Five refuse to work for Annalise and shut her out of their lives. Laurel and Frank argue about their relationship, with Frank revealing to her that he killed Lila. Connor calls Annalise, panicked that he received an e-mail from Philip with footage of them on the murder night that links them to what happened.

Philip sends an ultimatum: the team must transfer $1 million to him in the next 36 hours or he'll send the footage to the police. Annalise tries to handle the situation, while Wes and Laurel try to put the pieces of Rose's death together, traveling to Ohio to get the case files. After not finding anything, the two bond and share a brief kiss. Meanwhile, Connor reveals to Oliver his own plan to move to Stanford Law School, and wants to be accompanied by him. Annalise and Nate make up and he gives her advice regarding Philip's threat. After 36 hours, Annalise and the students don't pay the demand and Philip instead sends a video of Annalise and Nate taken the night before, meaning that he is spying on them. Laurel confronts Annalise about the police report regarding Wes' mother's suicide, questioning if Wes murdered his mother.

As Laurel confronts Annalise, Wes visits his doctor again to discuss the same thing, thinking that he could be the one who murdered his mother. Shortly after Philip sends a video of Michaela's previous visit to Caleb, Annalise decides to ask the new A.D.A., Todd Denver, for blanket immunity to cover the team for Sinclair's murder in exchange for using all of Philip's emails to track his whereabouts, much to Denver's curiosity about what they did at the Hapstall mansion—the "crime scene"—that night. Later, Laurel and Frank put an end to their relationship, as Bonnie overhears. Finding that Eve Rothlo knows about his mother, Wes visits Eve in New York; at the same time, Annalise visits his apartment only to find no one but Philip, who then attacks her as she tells Eve on the phone to call 911.

Annalise manages to escape from Philip and returns to her office with Eve and Wes. The next morning, Nate comes to reveal that Caleb is missing and, shortly thereafter, A.D.A. Denver wants to interrogate everyone caught on Philip's videos and later Asher, who is not caught on any of the videos but has been placed at the courthouse parking garage by a witness, the last place Sinclair was seen alive. Meanwhile, Annalise starts drinking, much to Bonnie's concern after she finds out; the former later kicks out everyone but Wes, to share a drink as she explains the truth about Wes' mother to him. Later, Oliver reveals to Connor that he has quit his job, Michaela and Asher share an unexpected moment, and Bonnie knows that Sam had Frank kill Lila. Pressured after hearing a drunken Laurel saying that she herself had Frank kill Lila, Annalise escapes to her mother Ophelia's house.

Ophelia throws a welcome-back party for Annalise, where Annalise's estranged father, with whom she has a troubled relationship (and, as it turns out, whom Ophelia has been seeing), is among the people invited, while, at Annalise's office, the team must deal with the news that Denver has issued her arrest warrant, suspecting that there is a traitor who framed her, and Laurel reveals to Frank that Wes' father is Wallace Mahoney. Oliver tracks Annalise's whereabouts, after which Nate goes to Memphis to meet her in person; they both later have dinner with her family, culminating with Annalise not wanting to talk to her father, who previously left his family when she was a child. The next morning, Annalise returns to Middleton and then meets Denver, revealing that Caleb was the serial killer all along (and hence the traitor), according to evidence consisting of Philip's USB flash drive, which he himself gave to her in Wes' apartment earlier, containing the data from Caleb's fitness tracker (indicating that Caleb killed Helena Hapstall, Philip's mother), and Catherine's testimony: she admits to being in love with Caleb and having a suspicion that he killed their foster parents in order to solely inherit their wealth. As the police begin searching for Caleb, he seemingly kills himself. Later, Oliver sabotages Connor by deleting an email confirming his acceptance from Stanford and then calling the Dean of Students to decline his spot. Bonnie reveals to Annalise what Frank did, to which the latter replies, "He needs to go." Laurel visits Frank's apartment, but finds that he has already left town with his suitcase of money. Wes finally meets Wallace for the first time, only to witness his father's murder by an unknown sniper.
