'How to Get Away with Murder' season 6 episode 3: Is Laurel really playing the Keating 5 despite Frank's involvement?
This article contains spoilers for season 6, episode 3.
How to Get Away with Murder's season 6 episode 3 poses a lot of questions, but the biggest one plaguing our minds, making our brains buzz and crack with possible speculations has to be Laurel Castillo's sudden disappearance. More specifically: is she really playing Annalie Keating and her precious Keating 4 that Laurel herself used to be a fifth member of?
The fourth episode, titled 'Do You Think I'm a Bad Man?' opens with Michaela pretty much slaying in the class-session of a case she is working on, but soon the scene shifts to their house where Oliver is alone, and Frank shows up out of nowhere. Well, technically, he has been running around trying his best to find traces of Laurel, ever since she disappeared with her baby Christopher at the end of the fifth season's finale.
This time, however, Frank arrives with solid proof of Laurel, which even though not concrete enough, is still valid enough to establish that she is alive and breathing. A security camera lodged outside a bank manages to capture a picture of someone who looks extremely like Laurel, wearing an all-black outfit with the same dark brown straight hair as her. The person looking extremely similar to Laurel can be seen hailing a cab and this is right after it was found out that someone by her identity has accessed the safety deposit box which has been the center of the action this season. And that has fans wondering what if Laurel could be the one playing the Keating 5?
Taking to Twitter, user @RasLoScrittore shared: "I think laurel is about to shake sh*t up." Another careful observer opined: "I’m not buying that Laurel, by herself, just up and engineered a disappearance scheme. Sorry, not sorry." But at the same time, it is worth giving a thought why, despite Karla Souza, who played Laurel, not being a regular cast member this season, they are dragging the sub-plot every single episode. Is it possible that she is the woman in the photos?
The episode also sees Connor pointing out to Frank the question we have all been riddled with: why does he go so hard for Laurel, who dumped him for Wes? Moreover, Frank has also known Bonnie since forever, even sparking off rumors of a possible secret romance between the two. Why is he connected to Laurel in ways more than one?
'How to Get Away with Murder' season 6 airs on Thursdays at 10 pm, only on ABC.
