'HTGAWM': The 10 most underrated moments you definitely forgot about

Who killed Rebecca? And does he get some sort of prize?

That was the question that plagued some of us all summer long as we awaited the season 2 return of

. And sure, some people hated Rebecca while others enjoyed her brand of Eliza Dushku meets the girl from

, but everyone wanted to know who silenced Rebecca to put an end to her whistleblowing shenanigans.

But oh, there is now a MUCH bigger question that needs to be answered in the wake of the season 2 premiere.

’s second season has been set up, in a way that’s structurally reminiscent of the first cycle but narratively a complete 180. We’ve got the time: two months from now. The location: the definitely incestuous adopted siblings’ fancy mansion, or DIASFM.

The persons present, for now: Wes, who runs panicked out of the mansion; Annalise, who has been shot in the stomach in what I imagine to be the mansion room (is that a thing) of said mansion, and who suffers twofold because all she can do is clutch her wound and look at the siblings’ fugly family portrait; and the third figure, an as-yet-unidentified shadowy presence who ostensibly flees the scene in baggy clothes.

What we’ll discover over the course of the season — or its first half, at least — is why. Who could have motivation to kill Annalise? I mean, aside from everyone. Annalise’s classroom narration points out that most murderers are people who know the victim personally, which narrows it down to… again, everyone.

Sigh. We have a loooong road ahead of us. But that’s

, and there are plenty of other things to address first besides the Night of the Fancy Mansion (I’m beta-testing this). The three big questions of the evening:

In the immediate aftermath of Rebecca’s death, Annalise and Frank quickly dispose of the corpse (the most personality she’s had in years) in a suitcase, because a TV drama doesn’t exist if you don’t stuff at least one corpse into a valise (seriously, watch

). As Frank toils away de-Becca-ing the basement, he suggests that Wes had to have done it, but Annalise knows better.

Ten days pass, and the kids of Murder, Inc. — that’s what we at EW call Wes, Michaela, Connor, and Laurel, a.k.a. the homicidal Scooby Doo foursome — have no idea that Rebecca is dead. She’s simply run off, they think, and they’re stressed about the very,

scary threat she presents to their possible incarceration. An aura of seriousness casts over the kids. Michaela’s mad that Laurel took her engagement ring, and nobody’s enthused enough to take on a case about two insane siblings (see page three).

Nobody’s sadder than Wes, who feels betrayed by Rebecca

resentful toward Annalise, who he thinks is lying about Rebecca’s whereabouts. Like Elphaba to gravity, Wes defies her authority at every turn, strolling in late to class and declining to answer when she calls on him (an adroit call back to the series pilot, where Wes and Annalise took the first steps in the demented tango that is their relationship; also, does Wes even

Eventually, Annalise decides to get Wes’ forgiveness one way or another, even if it means doing something strange called coo…king? He finally perhaps realizes that his anger toward Annalise is misguided and he ought to be directing the resentment toward Rebecca. “Of course [I want to find her], but I’m not pathetic,” he tells Annalise. “She ran away, after I told her I believed her and after everything I did for her.”

With the emotional confession, Annalise can eliminate Wes as a possible culprit. Frank has a new suspect: Laurel, whom we confidently know in season 2 to be the show’s smartest, most logical player. She’s figured out that Rebecca’s dead (and figured out the perfect time to go to Frank’s house to catch him and his eight chiseled, uh, roommates). Frank thusly thinks she killed Rebecca, but Annalise already figured out who did it. The case, like a lip without balm, has been cracked.
