Never Underestimate The Spurned Stalker/ Ex Employee

In "He Has A Wife" we return to the case of the week format. Annalise defends a wealthy woman who kills her nanny while sleep walking. It all seems to be a terrible tragedy until the Keating 5 dig a little deeper. Michaela learns that the son was taking some medication. In the big courtroom reveal it turns out that the son and the father were both having sex with the nanny (and got a STD). The father killed Elka and then blamed the sleep walking wife for it. Case closed. That was kinda ho hum.

Not a great lot happened on the Lila front either. The judge ordered another autopsy last week. They found out she was six months pregnant. Is Sam the father? Annalise convinces the DA to test everyone including her teachers.

The biggest development of the week was Bonnie and Sam. We've never known for sure which side she's playing for. She and Sam share a quiet moment. Bonnie admits seeing Lila the night she was killed. She says Lila came to house looking for Annalise but was turned away. Hmmm. I dont think I'm buying that.

Annalise, Why Are You Still With Your Loser Of A Husband?

Sam tells Bonnie she always had his back and he now needs her more than ever. He reveals that he knew about the baby. Sam then leans in and kisses Bonnie. Say what? Bonnie next runs crying to Annalise saying "he's not a good man". She lays in the floor pleading with Annalise. What great acting! Annalise repays her by firing her on the spot. OK then. Was that harsh or what? What hold does Sam have on Annalise? She is tough as nails everywhere else but is a spineless jellyfish when it comes to Sam.

Too Bad I Dont Have A Time Machine. I'd Tell Lila To Get Away From These Crazies And Never Look Back.

In Other News:

We see flashbacks of Lila and Rebecca hanging out on the roof discussing "Mr Darcy". They seem supportive of each other other. This Rebecca is different from the sneaky, emotionless one we see currently.
Annalise tells Wes that Lila was pregnant but not to tell Rebecca. Oh course he tells her immediately. That was definitely a setup but I'm not sure why.
Rebecca continues to work with Annalise's ex Nate to try to get evidence on Sam. I'm still not sure what his motives are.
Michaela and her future mother in law have a show down. She tries to slap her but is blocked. I guess the wedding is off.
Laurel and Frank are getting hot and heavy when they are interrupted by his girlfriend. She calls Laurel the "student of the month". Ouch.
Michaela steals the statue back from Asher.
And we're very close to knowing what everyone was doing right before Sam was murdered. Hopefully we'll get some answers in the next episode (which is the mid season finale).

Favorite Quotes:

"I've learned my lesson about keeping secrets from you."- Annalise to Wes. What a big fat lie that is.
"Bad things happen when you have sex"- Lila. Well given she was murdered, I'll take her word for it.
"Go back to that nasty backwater bayou you came from bitch."- Michaela's future monster-in-law.
He kissed me so I would lie to you. He thought he was finally giving me what I wanted.He's not a good man Annalise."- a tearful Bonnie on the floor telling Annalise what Sam said. Then Annalise fires her.

Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). Not my most favorite episode but I'm still loving the show. Place your bets on who killed Sam below. Right now I'm going with Bonnie cause she seems stalker crazy.
