How To Get Away With Murder 5x10 "Don't Go Dark On Me" Episode Review
Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.
The aftermath of the Gabriel reveal stirred up so much drama, and the return of Eve brought this show back from the brink. I almost gave up on watching / reviewing this show because it took the show way too long to get to this point, but I’m glad I stuck around to see how the rest of the season will play out. These people are pros at getting away with murder at this point, already prepared to do a complicated frame job on the Governor, like hitting two birds with one stone.
Bonnie’s journey is going to be heartbreaking. It already is. Miller is obviously innocent and had nothing to do with Nate Sr’s death. Bonnie found proof, but she is trying so damn hard to believe he is a monster, in order to clear her guilt. There is a lot of story potential here with Nate and Bonnie involved in killing an innocent man, and what they’ll do to seek amends for it. If they will even do that.
The dynamic between Eve and Annalise is super natural. I have missed these two together, and hearing them talk about the past reminded me on why I loved this show in the first place. The season one drama and Sam Keating’s death. All of it is coming back to blow up in their faces, and that includes the Keating 4 + Oliver, without Wes coming to save them this time.
If Sam’s case gets reopened, all of them are going to be in serious trouble. The domino effect that would set off if they get caught. Everything from seasons 2-4 would get drenched up too. I’m way overthinking this, but this is a serious problem. Plus, the whole Miller death on top of that.
Tegan is interested in Annalise, and has a weird thing going on with Michaela again. They have to stop doing that. It’s creeping me out, and confusing me on whether the show will gun for that. Nobody can really stay platonic on this show.
Overall, a lot of build-up for the second half, and nostalgia from the past was refreshing, especially with it being plot important. Welcome back, Eve. We’ve missed you so much. You can go, Gabriel… he’s been secretly working with Miller, so he knew about Gabriel being Sam’s kid… wow I’m hooked again.
