Complete story — includes the ending
Rebecca sneaks into the Keating house to steal the information on Sam's laptop that would supposedly exonerate her. Michaela arrives to return the trophy she stole from Asher and is greeted by Sam, drunk after viciously fighting with Annalise in light of his involvement in Lila's murder. Sam discovers Rebecca and chases her upstairs, where they struggle. Trying to free Rebecca, Michaela pushes Sam over the banister and onto the floor below. Sam is presumed dead, and Rebecca, Wes, Connor, Michaela and Laurel ponder their next move, but Sam leaps up and attacks Rebecca. Wes strikes Sam on the head with the trophy, killing him. In the woods, the gang agrees to burn Sam's body. Wes returns to the Keating house to retrieve the trophy in an attempt to hide the murder weapon. After having fought with Sam, Annalise goes to Nate's in a panic. The two have sex, after which Annalise departs, later leaving Sam a heartfelt voicemail message. The students burn Sam's body in a bonfire, chop up the remains, dispose of them in a dumpster, and leave. A final flashback reveals that when Wes went back to retrieve the trophy, Annalise was sitting at her desk all along, thus showing her complicity in her husband's murder.
