Comment on 7 Things to Know About How to Get Away with Murder's Return

When How to Get Away with Murder returns Thursday (10/9c, ABC) with the first of six remaining episodes this season, it will be all about the curious case of Christophe. Christophe, of course, is Wes' (Alfred Enoch) real name, uttered by Annalise (Viola Davis) after he shot her -- or more specifically, tried to kill her after she confessed that Rebecca is actually dead. Compounding the mystery, a flashback to lil' Christophe being interrogated about his mother's death revealed Annalise and Eve (Famke Janssen) behind a two-way mirror, with Eve asking, " "Good God, Annalise. Creator and executive producer Peter Nowalk gives us the scoop.

Speaking of Nate, Nowalk says he will be a suspect in Sinclair's (Sarah Burns) death, but Annalise will have more tricks up her sleeve. Asher is the newbie of the group and they all want to help him in terms of helping him keep the secret.
