How To Get Away with Murder Finale: A Couple of Answers And So. Many. Questions.

The ABC hit finished out its first season tonight with even more twists than you could have expected

O.M.G.

We're still having a little trouble breathing after that rollercoaster of a finale. Actually, it was less of a rollercoaster, and more of a slow drive around the countryside for an hour before suddenly turning into a hardcore, upside-down, whirlty twirly ride of emotions as we waited for the answer to the most important question we've ever asked: who killed Lila?

We got the answer to that question, but along with it came a few other questions, because this show couldn't just leave us totally satisfied until it (probably definitely as confirmed by that teaser?) returns in the fall.

We learned within the last few minutes of the episode that it was the nicely bearded Frank who did the deed of strangling Lila and then disposing of her in the water tank, but he was doing it on Sam's order because Frank owed Sam some sort of mysterious favor.

That was a nice twist, but it wasn't the biggest of the episode. It turns out that Rebecca hadn't been telling the whole truth. She did send the text to Lila from Griffin's phone, and she did end up in the water tank with Lila's dead body. She also drugged Rudy with some mysterious drug called Purple X, which caused him to horrifyingly crawl at the walls, and caused us to cry out in horror. 

There was also a priest on trial in the whole first hour that we could not have cared less about. Really though. We aren't even sure his storyline was wrapped up.  He just sort of disappeared into the completely irrelevant night, and we would have forgotten about it by the end of the night if we hadn't taken notes, like the good journalists we are.

So, to review, these are the questions we will be pondering until this show returns: Who killed Rebecca? Who is Eggs? What favor did Frank owe Sam? Did that priest have any actual purpose? Did Katie Findlay tweet this spoiler on purpose in response to us asking her to participate in our drinking game?

@eonlineTV @eonline I think it might literally kill me, guys!
