Conrad/Oliver talks about what could happen in 2x08 of HTGAWM
“Here, Ricamora talks to Variety about Oliver’s fate.
Let’s just put it all out there: Is Oliver going to die?!
You’ll have to watch next week to find out! You’ll find out very early on in next week’s episode what happens to Oliver and how this all plays out.
Next week’s episode is titled, “Hi, I’m Philip” — that’s probably what he’ll say when the scene picks up, but what else will happen between Oliver and Philip?
You’ll find more of who Philip is and what he’s about, fairly early on. That’s all I can say.
We really don’t know much about Philip. He’s been set up to be this creepy guy who’s a hacker and a secret child and may have DNA at the crime scene, but is there any chance he actually turns out to be a good guy?
I think there’s a chance for everyone to turn out and not be who you think they’re going to be. In this show, anything is possible — you’ve already seen that Frank is a killer, but who knows why! I think — definitely — Philip could surprise you. But it’s not looking good because he shows up at the end of this episode very uninvited, and he’s tricked everyone so there’s some sort of scheming. But you never know if he could turn out to be totally benign and just freaked out by the whole situation himself.
Whatever ends up happening to Oliver, how will this affect Connor?
You’ll see Connor freaking out more and more and feeling guilty and paranoid that he’s gotten Oliver this involved. I think that’s going to inspire his anger, which will come to a head in the next few episodes.
We already got a taste of Connor feeling guilty in tonight’s episode — he really didn’t want Oliver to help get Philip’s DNA. Why was Oliver so adamant about the plan?
He’s never helped without Connor being the one initiating it [until tonight]. Oliver is this IT guy and I think he’s into the scientific and forensic side of cases, and I think he’s also excited about getting out of his IT job where he probably spends all day helping his boss check email. Also, with his new diagnosis [HIV], it probably helps get his mind off things and is a little outlet to have that excitement in his life. Confidence isn’t one of his strong suits and I think he feels very confident in this arena.
Oliver has really helped out the team quite a bit with his shady findings. Should the Keating Five be called the Keating Six?
Slowly but surely, he’s committed so much to this case. Since the beginning, he’s slowly started committing and entrenching himself to Annalise so I think he’s invested in it now.”
