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.

Picking up two weeks later, the midseason premiere will find Annalise returning home from her hospital stay, during which she had no contact at all with Wes.

Who makes the first move, and do they want to make the first move?

For Annalise, the emotional scars of Christophe are far more damaging than the physical ones.

[...] Nowalk won't dish, but he promises that will be revealed by the end of the season.

What we've established is he had a single mother, so we're really delving into that more.

There were a handful of flash-forwards that the show didn't catch up to on Murder Night 2, including Asher (Matt McGorry) preparing to make a statement at the police station, Michaela (Aja Naomi King) coming home to Caleb (Kendrick Sampson), and Nate (Billy Brown) picking up the Keating 4 after Annalise has been shot.

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.

[...] is the rest of the Keating 5 helping Asher out of genuine concern or just to cover their own butts? "That's the question I want you guys to be asking as you're watching it and that's what Asher will be asking too," Nowalk says.
