How to Get Away with Murder is once again back with this third episode of the season entitled “It’s for the Greater Good” and things really continued to get very interesting in it.

After winning Jasmine’s case, Annalise decided to continue working for free, this time for the government’s defense team, getting some cases from the very busy lawyers. This week featured an old case about Ben Carter, a man who was accused of murdering his wife, while he says she killed herself. What I am liking more about this new season is that it feels very real. Twelve years earlier, Ben was sent to jail mostly because of his appearance: he had tattoos all over his body. This can’t really be called racism, but it actually isn’t very far from it, because people think those with tattoos must be murderous or bank robbers. The point is, this is still a today thing, and that is what I loved most about it.

But this really wasn’t the only real problem in the episode. Annalise did win the case, but by doing so, she “exposed” the fact that, because the lawyers there are always very overwhelmed, a huge piece of evidence was overlooked: a tape of Ben’s wife clearly jumping to her death. There is really no need to say if this was found 12 years before, Ben would have never gone to jail. But of course, his lawyer at the time, Virginia, didn’t have time to review all the tapes, therefore he was sent to prison. At first, I didn’t understand Annalise’s need to expose Virginia in court, but I was glad this allowed her to prosecute the justice department. I think everyone can related to this, because we all know, not just lawyers, but most people who work for the government, have always many work to do and are very underpaid. Sure, it was mean what Annalise did this, and maybe this will get nowhere, but it was still a necessary thing to do. Like the tittle of the episode says, it was for the greater good.

In kind of a side note, I was really upset to see what happened to Jasmine. I guess Annalise was right, and drug addicts don’t change. I really thought she would put the past behind her and start living a new life. So much for nothing.

Speaking of terrible life choices, Connor decided to drop out of law school and pass most of the episode spending the money he got back. I really do pity him because he is definitely a brilliant guy, he simply doesn’t often realize it. Sure, he didn’t get any internships last episode, but like I said on my previous review, he really didn’t put much work into it, at all. He has been a little lost during this new season, and I really hope he finds his way back. Apparently, his dads are in town, so hopefully they will put some sense into him. I do understand what he meant about people needing to support his life choices, and I agree, but not when people make silly mistakes like this one. He clearly loves law school, so why is he walking away?

After starting to settle in, in her new company, a game between interns started for Michaela. As usual, she nailed it, and I was so glad to see her beat Simon Drake. He is such a jerk and really pisses me off every time he shows up. It was definitely very satisfying seeing Michaela put him in his place. I also liked her lawyer choice. I think the two of them will do great work together.

Laurel in the other hand, after letting her internship fly away, started looking for another one, and since no one would take her, she tried to convince Bonnie to do it. When she didn’t agree, she convinced Frank to convince her. I am glad she got this now, because life really hasn’t been fair to her, and she needs something to take her mind of things.

In flashforwards, things continue very confusing. We saw Michaela in a nursery asking “is he dead?” to Annalise’s therapist. Since we found out Laurel’s baby is a boy, maybe she was worried about him? Or maybe this is what they want us to think. I really am looking forward to finding out more about this. How to Get Away with Murder really does know how to make a person eager to watch the next episode.

Overall, this was another great episode. As I said already, it felt very modern and grounded. I really hope this season at least remains this good. I am giving this episode an 8.9/10.

Next episode is entitled “Was She Ever Good at Her Job?” and it will air next Thursday, so don’t miss it.
