Back to the Beginning: Annalise Keating's Pregnancy
Picture this: it's around 2005, and Annalise Keating, played by the incomparable Viola Davis, is in the early days of her career. She's married to Sam Keating and teaching law at Middleton University, the fictional institution that would later become the backdrop for so much drama. This is also the time when she's expecting her first child, a moment that should have been filled with joy. But as we know from the show, life for Annalise is rarely simple.

The Mahoney Case: A Twist of Fate
During this time, Annalise is approached by Wallace Mahoney, the father of Charles Mahoney, a high-profile murder suspect. Wallace wants Annalise to defend his son, accused of killing his fiancée, Vicky. As part of the defense, Annalise meets Rose, a woman who claims to have seen Charles on the night of the murder. However, Annalise soon uncovers a sinister truth: Rose is lying under duress. Wallace has been threatening Rose’s young son, Christophe, to ensure her silence. Worse yet, Annalise discovers that Rose has been repeatedly victimized by Wallace.
Rose, feeling trapped and hopeless, tragically takes her own life in front of Annalise, believing it’s the only way to protect her son. This heartbreaking event sets the stage for a chain of events that will forever alter Annalise’s life.
The Car Crash: A Life-Altering Moment
With the weight of Rose’s death and the truth about Wallace Mahoney heavy on her shoulders, Annalise decides to take action. She heads to the police station to report Wallace’s crimes. But fate has other plans. On her way, Annalise’s car is struck by another vehicle, causing a devastating crash. While Annalise survives, her unborn child does not.
The driver of the other car? None other than Frank Delfino, Annalise’s trusted paralegal, who was secretly working with the Mahoneys. Frank confesses to Sam, Annalise's husband, but Sam, fearing the truth would devastate Annalise, forces Frank to keep it a secret. Of course, in the world of HTGAWM, secrets have a way of coming to light, and Annalise eventually learns the truth.
The Aftermath: A Life Changed Forever
Annalise’s marriage to Sam is never the same after this tragedy. The Mahoney case leaves deep scars, both emotional and psychological, that haunt her for years. Eventually, she forms a maternal bond with Wes Gibbins, a law student who turns out to be Rose’s son, Christophe. But Wes, too, meets an untimely end, leaving Annalise to grapple with yet another loss.
As we’ve come to expect from HTGAWM, the twists keep coming. Is Wes really gone, or could there be more to his story? Stranger things have certainly happened in this world of legal drama and intrigue.
