How to Get Away with Murder, explained in 13 charts

On Thursday, January 29, ABC's breakout hit How to Get Away with Murder returns from its winter hiatus.

Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and the gang will be back after the midseason finale's cliffhanger, where we found out, among other things, who killed Sam (Tom Verica), just how ride or die Wesley Gibbins (Alfred Enoch) was, and the extent to which the rest of Keating's first-year law students, Connor Walsh(Jack Falahee), Michaela Pratt (Aja Naomi King), Laurel Castillo (Karla Souza), and Asher Millstone (Matt McGorry) were willing to sacrifice to "get away with murder."

In celebration of the show's return, we created 13 charts, based on the trends, plots, and characters introduced in the show's first nine episodes:
