How To Get Away With Murder 5x13 "Where Are Your Parents?" Episode Review
Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please proceed with caution.
Parents are getting involved with the whole investigation. Not on purpose of course. Annalise’s and Connor’s mothers happen to stop by during the holidays when the FBI decided to ruin the fun. Kind of sucks the Feds have to work during precious family time. I randomly thought about that while they were sweeping Connor and Oliver’s house for the wedding photos… good thing Connor’s mom deleted the photo from Instagram showing Nate and Miller arguing in the background. Guess she’s officially involved now.
Annalise’s mother, bless her heart, also suggested Annalise and Nate get married so they can’t testify against each other in court. Also, she has rooted for their romance from day one. How she responses to Sam Keating having a child named Gabriel with his first wife and hiding it was priceless.
Bonnie is still going through a horrible time with Miller’s death, and the funeral was no better with Miller’s mother wanting the murderers to get the death penalty so she can watch (so raw!), and might be pregnant (?)… She claims the test was negative, but since the results weren’t shown onscreen, I’m going to assume she’s lying to Frank. I think Bonnie and Frank are a better fit for each other than Frank and Laurel. I’m really glad the latter romance is pretty much extinct at this point.
The closing moments of the episode show Annalise meeting with The Governor. Every time I write “The Governor”, my mind goes straight to The Walking Dead. He will always be the real “Governor”.
Anyway, The Governor (hehe) reveals the truth about Nate Sr’s death. Apparently, with a file as proof, Emmett was the one who committed the deed, and Annalise is shown to believe the contents inside Emmett’s file. Wow, really good thing they didn’t end up making out earlier in the episode.
We’re really close to the end of the season… the last few episodes are going to have start resolving things soon. Ideally, a few episodes ago, but there’s no point dwelling in the past. Please let Bonnie be okay. She’s literally the only character I love right now besides Annalise Keating, that’s a given since this is her show, but her supporting cast keeps making a mess out of it.
