'HTGAWM' Sneak Peek: Watch Viola Davis Decimate the Witness Stand
If How To Get Away With Murder had one lesson to teach, it’s keep things as complicated as possible. Case in point: In the exclusive clip above from this week’s episode, Professor Annalise Keating (newly minted Emmy winner Viola Davis) takes the witness stand in the trial of her lover Nate (Billy Brown), whom she framed for murdering her husband Sam in order to keep the real murderer safe. Complicating things further? Nate’s attorney is none other than Annalise’s former (and current?) girlfriend Eve (guest star Famke Janssen), whose relationship to Annalise, if revealed, could result in a mistrial.
