How To Get Away With Murder He Made A Terrible Mistake Review

How To Get Away With Murder: Season 3, Episode 14: He Made A Terrible Mistake makes a more than promising first half for the season’s two-part finale.

In hindsight, splitting stories over the course of multiple episodes rather than trying to cram everything into one single episode makes so much sense for the series that one can’t help but be shocked that it hasn’t been done before. True, we have had the recurring scenes that frame each season and progressively reveal more and more about a particular event like the killing of Lila Stangard and this season’s burning of Annalise’s (Viola Davis) home and death of Wes (Alfred Enoch), these were, again, mainly framing devices that helped put the events of a given episode into context as opposed to telling a story for the sake of the story itself.

And while we’re on the subject of the story, boy was last night’s intense. With the Keating Five shocked by the release of Charles Mahoney (Wilson Bethel), Annalise confronts his mother Sylvia (Roxanne Hart) about the family’s vendetta against her and what she believes to be their role in Wes’ death only to learn that everything she knows about the case is wrong. Wes is not, as she and viewers were led to believe, the late Wallace Mahoney’s son: he is Charles’ son, sired after he raped Wes’ mother. Armed with this knowledge, Annalise renews her efforts and takes the fight to the DA, as we see in the next, equally-excellent episode.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
