Ep 1. Your Funeral

As the fifth season of How To Get Away With Murder begins, the characters are dealing with the aftermath of the events of the previous season. In the first episode, titled "Your Funeral," we see Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) delivering a eulogy at a funeral, but the identity of the deceased is not revealed.

The episode then flashes forward to two and a half months earlier, where we see that Annalise has started a new legal clinic at Middleton University. She meets with her new class, which includes her former law students, and gives them an assignment to work on a pro bono case.

We also see flashbacks to the summer, where Laurel (played by Karla Souza) is seen breaking into her father's safe and stealing some confidential information. She is later shown meeting with the other characters, including Michaela (played by Aja Naomi King) and Connor (played by Jack Falahee), to discuss the information she has obtained.

Meanwhile, Nate (played by Billy Brown) is seen investigating the death of his father, who was in prison at the time. He approaches Annalise for help with the case, but she initially declines. Later, she changes her mind and agrees to look into the matter.

As the episode progresses, we see tensions rising between the characters. Annalise's new assistant, Tegan (played by Amirah Vann), clashes with Laurel over the case they are working on. Michaela discovers that she may have a connection to the deceased person from the funeral. And tensions between Annalise and Nate continue to simmer.

Throughout the episode, there are hints and clues about what may have happened leading up to the funeral. But the true identity of the deceased is not revealed until the end of the episode, when viewers finally learn who has died and are left to wonder how the characters will handle the fallout.

Overall, "Your Funeral" sets up an intriguing new season of How To Get Away With Murder, promising more twists and turns as the characters navigate their complicated relationships and legal battles.
