'How to Get Away with Murder' Season 2 Episode 13 Recap: The truth behind Rose's death

The team behind the hit TV series 'How to Get away with murder clearly knows what they are doing to keep their fans excited on their toes. A testament to that is on how they got to intensify things and leave the viewers questioning on what really is the deal behind Wes' mother. So if you have wtahced this week's episode then you clearly know what we're going to talk here.

This week's episode titled 'Something Bad Happened' was epic. The previous episode left us to speculate about things more specifically around the death of Wes' mom, Rose. A boy discovering his mother’s dead body is more than “something bad.” Annalise accidentally instigating a desperate woman to kill herself is more than “something bad.” HTGAWM let us briefly believe Annalise killed someone or that Wes killed himself.

Kudos to the team for really making the story more interesting than it already is. Episode 13 showed us the story behind Rose. We got to see flashbacks where Annalise has orchestrated Rose’s capture by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and once she’s in custody, it’s old buddy Eve Rothlow (Famke Janssen), Annalise’s college lesbian lover, who will serve as the department’s lawyer, tasked with convincing Rose to testify.

Rose eventually figures out that Annalise is the reason she’s locked up, and once she confronts Eve with that information, she demands to be let out so she can at least take Christophe home. Eve lets her go — and Rose makes a straight-up run for it, packing a bag and tossing Christophe into the car. In his stubbornness, the child leaps out of the car and runs home. Rose follows.

Annalise heads over to the Edmond apartment and finds a panicked Rose. The two had a very intense conversation which led one thing to another and Rose killing herself saying “I was born free, I will stay free, so will Christophe,” reaching toward the kitchen sink. “There’s no reason to hurt him now,” she says, locking eyes with Annalise. “Take care of my boy.”
Back to the present, we see Wes sturggling to remember snippets of his past, confused on what really happened to his mother, while the other members of the Keating Five are in hiding because of a man named Philip. Annalise, on the other hand, is debating on herself on whetehr she should explain things to Wes. And as she finally decided on discussing things with Wes, she gets attacked by Phillip who was hiding under Wes' bed.

Shocking revelatioons aren't they? Watch out for the next episode of 'How to Get Away with Murder'.
