In the next episode of "How to Get Away With Murder," Annalise (Viola Davis) gets questioned by the police. Meanwhile, the show will reveal more about Michaela's (Aja Naomi King) background through the presence of her mother on the show.

The upcoming seventh episode of "How to Get Away With Murder" season 3 is titled "Call It Mother's Intuition." According to the synopsis released by The Futon Critic, "Annalise and her students take on a case defending siblings who have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder against their mother. Meanwhile, Frank's (Charlie Weber) actions lead to a painful consequence."

The painful consequence to come in episode 7 might be Annalise getting dragged down to the police station under murder charges. In the episode promo, she was informed that they have evidence submitted by an anonymous tipper proving her guilty of the charges.

Could Frank have betrayed her? Or was it someone under her tutelage?

Meanwhile, Aja Naomi King tells TV Line that the appearance of Michaela's mom Trishelle (Brett Bruler) will shed more light on who her character really is in the third season of "How to Get Away With Murder."

King shares that the presence of Trishelle will give the viewers a better understanding of who Michaela is, why she says her family is trash, and why she looks up to Annalise so much.

"Think about the way the episode ended with Michaela saying to her mom, 'Don't steal anything.' What?! That tells us a lot about what this relationship has been for her. To say that to anyone, but especially to your mother, it's like 'What is happening here?' We'll get to see inside that a little more and how that informs the obvious reasons Michaela loves the idea of Annalise," explained King.

There are only two episodes left before who the dead person under the sheet is revealed, which will also unveil which of the pivotal characters will leave the show. And according to King, "It genuinely breaks my heart to think about it every time, because it's going to be horrible."

"How to Get Away With Murder" season 3 airs every Thursday at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC.
