‘How to Get Away with Murder’ episode 10 spoilers: The day after Sam’s death

After many weeks of secrecy, some of the first details are starting to come out about the winter premiere of “How to Get Away with Murder.” The first half of this season used frequent flash-forwards to show some of the immediate aftermath following the murder of Sam Keating; now, we are getting set to see the very next day. The flash-forwards are over, and Wes has to live with the consequences of what he did … and also if he can keep his role in the killing a secret.

The title for the show’s January 29 return is “Hello Raskolnikov,” which we personally believe to be a reference to Crime and Punishment. The synopsis below does not give away much, but it should at least offer up news on most of what you would hope to hear:

“It’s the day after Sam’s murder and the students are called in to help Annalise find her missing husband, but just how much does Annalise know? And when a surprise visitor shows up in town, getting away with this murder might not be as easy as the students had hoped.”

This may be the episode that features an appearance from Marcia Gay Harden, who we know is coming up at some point in the second half of this season. Could she be the “surprise visitor”? Regardless of who it is, you have to think that they will be powerful enough to really alter the course of everything on this series.
