Why wouldn't they have just thrown Lila off the top of the sorority house and stage it as a sucide? Afterall, she seemed to subtly allude to the possibly of taking her life just a moments beforehand while on the phone with Sam, perched on the edge of the rooftop peering down as she indicated that, "It'd be easier if I…

Lila was making threats, Sam went to see if he could handle it. He may have already alerted Frank to his and Lila's plans to rendezvous atop the sorority house and Frank may have been posted nearby in case she couldn't be reasoned with. Sam would have wanted it handled quckily, before she could discover that he had…

WTF were you doing reading an episode recap and review if you haven't seen the episode?! The sole purpose of these articles is to breakdown the episode, analyze and critique. *HINT* May contain nothing but spoilers, genuis.

A sneak peek for next week's episode shows tests confirming that the remains were in fact Sam's. A longer preview/promo also shows the authorities combing through the Keating residence, searching for evidence.

Perhaps it wasn't mere happenstance. In a seek peek of next week's episode Connor addresses this same problem stating, "You don't just find body parts in a landfill. A body, sure, a head, a hand, but not charred up bits of some one. Not unless you're TOLD where to look…"

Actually, we do know that they got to a landfill as that's where the reporter stated they were found both in the close of this week's episode and in a sneak peek for next week.

Annalise actually instructed them to finish off the remains in an incinerator, and Wes stresses that that's what they need to be doing but Connor says he's outnumbered and proceeds also to be very dismissive about the fact that there's a good chance Michaela’s engagement ring is inside one of said bags of human…

They have aired 10 episodes. There will be 5 more, but episodes 14 & 15 ("The Day Lila Died" and "It's All My Fault") will both air together as a two hour finale on the 26th.

And Michaela's engagement ring was never recovered, so there's two rings that could prove to be damning evidence.

I'm not saying it would be simple (though any story would be simpler than a cover up), I'm simply saying there is no proof that they were in that home univited and the fact that a confrontation ensued does not prove this is the case either.
Yes, it was evidently late, but they've been there after hours on many…

It's possible that former detective Nate would be able to guess that Rebecca was following his request/instruction and illegally gathering information when Sam attacked her, but he couldn't know that for sure. If Sam Keating is responsible for Lila's murder than he is impulsive and violent and any number of things…

A lie that stuck as closely as possible to the truth would have made a hell of a lot more sense and been a lot less complicated than a conspiracy to conceal the whole thing. If you exclude the fact that they were trespassing and stealing private information (facts that could easily remain between them), they acted in…

"They don't have any proof that he attacked Rebecca"
I imagine she would have marks on her neck from being strangled like that. In any event, her and four upstanding witnesses would all confirm that he attacked her, why wouldn't they believe the group? What motive would they have to destroy their lives and budding…

The fact that there was a struggle leading up to his death doesn't at all suggest that killing Sam is what they came there to do or that they had forced their way in, only that at some point after they entered the home an altercation took place.

Eh, in the pilot they show Annalise reprimanding Frank for failing to lock up again and suggest that this is a recurrent issue. Kind of sloppy, but I guess we're to assume that the door is still being left continuously unlocked.

I wasn't trying to say that the circumstances, exactly as they actually happened, constitute justifiable homicide. The point was that no one but them would know they weren't at least initially invited in. It doesn't make logical sense to me that the group would so readily reach the consensus that they have to cover up…

Two decades of marriage no less!

Agreed. We don't have to believe that Micheala is in love with Laurel to understand why her character threw Sam over the banister, why would it need to be different with Wes?

Being that Rebecca is Mrs. Keating's client and that the other four are her students/assistants at her firm and all frequent the Keating residence/legal office, at all hours, on a fairly regular basis (which is emphasized when Wes says to Connor, "Your car is *always* here") there would be no reason to doubt that they…
