'How To Get Away With Murder' episode 7: A gag order changes Annalise's plans with Rebecca

Can Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) help Rebecca (Katie Findley) prepare for her trial despite the gag order? Facebook

It seems like the events leading to Sam's death and the details about Lila's murder will start to take shape in the upcoming episode of "How To Get Away With Murder."

Shonda Rhimes' new legal mystery drama had been keeping viewers on the edge of their seats while trying to connect the dots regarding the death of Annalise Keating's (Viola Davis) husband Sam (Tom Verica) in all the flash-forwards scenes in the episodes. Will they find out what really happened during the night of the bonfire in episode 7?

ABC released the official synopsis for the episode titled "He Deserved to Die," which reads:

"Annalise and the team are focused on Rebecca's case, but when the judge enforces a gag order, Rebecca takes things into her own hands. Meanwhile, Michaela is surprised by a pre-nup, sparks fly between Laurel and Frank, and in flash-forwards, we find out more about Wes and Rebecca's relationship."

A video teaser for the episode shows that Annalise will make sure that Rebecca (Katie Findlay) is prepared to face the court for Lila Stangard's (Megan West) murder, then the judge issues a gag order. Based on Rebecca's past reaction when she found out that Sam and the photographed naked guy in Lila's phone is one and the same person, she might decide to leave town again to get away from the trial.

Elsewhere, Michaela Pratt (Aja Naomi King) gets a surprise from her soon-to-be husband, but it is not a pleasant one. He sends a representative to ask her to sign a pre-nup agreement, which is something that she never expected.

Other relationships will be explored in the episode, as Laurel Castillo (Karla Souza) and Frank Delfino (Charlie Weber) continue to show their attraction to each other, while Wes Gibbins (Alfred Enoch) and Rebecca's relationship begins to unfold.

The upcoming episode 7 of "How To Get Away With Murder" will air on Thursday, Nov. 6, on ABC.
