The last three "How to Get Away with Murder" season 2 episodes were shockers as usual. Although fans know they can expect anything from this Shonda Rhimes drama, one character that continues to surprise is Wes Gibbins (Alfred Enoch).
From a reserved, quiet student in the first season, Wes grew into an eccentric guy. Recent events transformed him into something that's far from what was seen from him before.
For series creator Peter Nowalk, the growth of Wes Gibbins should serve as a warning. Never underestimate him again.
"A lot of the show, to me, is 'Don't underestimate people."," Nowalk told TV Line when asked about Wes.
"When Wes started law school he was more of a puppy - he has a dark past, a lonely past. That can come back and raise its ugly head in him sometimes, and make him distrustful of people. You can ask that about everyone on the show: Are they doing things for selfish reasons or good ones? It can be both. But Wes really wants to know the truth."
Nowalk was also asked about the biggest twist in "How to Get Away with Murder" season 2 episode three. By the end of the HTGAWM night, Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) tried to reconcile with former boyfriend and fall guy Nate.
She was rejected but that was not the bomb. Annalise was denied entry by Nate to his home because of one huge secret. Wes is inside, seems to be planning something bad. Nowalk confirmed Wes is working with Nate.
"I don't want to give it all away - but Wes is riding shotgun in [Nate's] cop car in the flash forward," he said in the same interview.
"So, clearly their relationship goes beyond one night. It makes sense to me why Wes would go to Nate, of all people, to help find out if Annalise had anything to do with Rebecca going missing or dying. Who would would have more reason to look into Annalise than Nate? Wes hears Eggs911's theory and then goes to Nate's apartment. Wes is trying to use Nate to find out something Wes wants to know."
The next "How to Get Away with Murder" season 2 episode is called "Skank Gets Shanked." Read synopsis here.
