TGIT Recap: Does The Government Stand A Chance In The Olivia Bidding War?

How to Get Away With MurderABC

This TGIT wasn’t as jam packed with surprises as last week, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t emotional. Grey’s Anatomy sucked us in the most with the difficult decision the Avery’s had to face with their child. Scandal was underwhelming and creepy, because Huck was being Huck again. HTGAWM took the cake this week with an interesting twist and new carefully plotted suspect that only Annalise could pull off.

This week’s episode was a tearjerker… and if you’re surprised by that then you’ve clearly never seen the show. Jackson and April and their son, Samuel Norbert, were the main storyline for the episode. Every second tore out your heart as you watched the couple go through this tragedy.

The show started out with the pair learning that their son would likely die soon after his birth and, as if that wasn’t enough, his bones were currently breaking inside the uterus. They ultimately decide to induce April and get to meet and hold their son for as long as he lives, but April struggles with going through with it. April goes from being positive, trusting, and hopeful to complete desperation. Dr. Herman’s tough exterior and inability to understand how to kindly break it to them that they need to sign their unborn child’s death certificate surely didn’t help the process. 

At one point, April even gets upset with God, and Jackson is the one to enter into the chapel and beg God to “show up for April.” No one wants to see that beautiful, blue-eyed man cry in a chapel less than we do! April’s faith is restored after she decides to go back to work and finds out that the girl in scrubs walking around the hospital is only there because her fiance died the night before. April comforts her and tells her she will survive (of course, this is also a reminder to herself).

While April and Jackson are going through this, the entire hospital staff struggles with what to do for them in this situation. They eventually decide on lighting a candle in the chapel and one by one they go in until all the candles are lit. It ends up being a much more beautiful tribute then the original suggestion of sending flowers… 

Obviously, one drama per episode is below quota for Grey’s, so there was also a woman who somehow got shot in the neck accidentally by her husband and also had a baby that she didn’t know was possible. She was on the brink of death, but survived and got to hold her little girl after surgery. Oh, and a blind guy was made to see, and Meredith got someone to babysit, so she can go get laid by her husband.

Scandal

Olivia’s plan falls through once again, just as it seems she might be succeeding. Just after Ian offers her a choice of the highest bidders and starts to trust her intelligence, one of the psycho guards from the place where they kept her comes through and shoots him. 

Of course, the president knew he had to get in the bidding war, so they secretly partnered with terrorists and put in their bids. The gladiators did as well, but had to go through quite a difficult path to get an alias that would be allowed to enter the bidding. They bartered with Olivia’s mom and gave her a flat screen in exchange for a terrorist to partner with. We understand the beauty of cable, but definitely don’t think it was worth having Huck kill a bunch of people in order to secure the terrorist’s trust.

Basically, Huck is clearly and very quickly spiralling downhill, as he tends to do. He mauled the bodies of the people he killed and then even began morbidly talking about how “Olivia is dead” and they will soon be sending the president her fingers. He got a look in his eye during that speech that could give you nightmares for weeks.

Mellie’s continued honesty with Fitz has been so refreshing and made her much more tolerable. She tells Fitz that she wants to be president one day and even that she wants Olivia to come home because “we both sleep better when she is between us.” 

How to Get Away With Murder

This week’s HTGAWM kept us on our toes! With Sam’s body now being found with wood and carpet debris as well as the murder weapon being identified as metal or steel, all the clues seem to point right back to that law firm. The students were on edge the whole time and Annalise not showing an ounce of grief only further helped them look guilty. 

Sam’s sister testifies against Annalise in court, saying she once threw a paper weight at him which earns her a search warrant from the police. Despite swiping the exact area he fell and bled all over, the police didn’t find anything. What was weird about that was that Annalise seemed to be silently suggesting that they check that area by standing and staring down from the staircase. Not sure why she did that, but it ended up in her favor so she must have had a reason. 

Bonnie gets suspicious and finally figures out that the students did it and warns Annalise that they’ll “ruin” her if she keeps protecting them. Now it’s just poor, clueless Asher that still doesn’t know anything.

Eventually, the cops find a wedding ring, surprisingly it was Sam’s, in the woods and have identified a fingerprint on it. Of course this was planted by loyal Frank and now the murder suspect is identified as Nate Lahey, Annalise’s boyfriend. Clearly, the plausible cause is there, and he just never learns his lesson. 

Annalise also helps the mob get out of drug case and Wes learns Rebecca actually called the cops on the former tenant of his apartment, Rudy. We’ve never trusted Rebecca, and it might just be for good reason…

Check back next week to see what happens with Jackson and Avery recovering from their loss, Olivia finally returning, and Sam’s sister who still wants to prove Annalise was behind it all!
