How To Get Away With Murder is back for a final season, and the premiere introduces Gabriel's mother. 1 / 6

Gabriel became a major player in Season 5, revealed to be Sam's son from his first marriage. 2 / 6

He came to Middleton to find out more about Sam and Annalise, and was blackmailed by the FBI to dig up dirt on her. 3 / 6

Now he's part of the Keating crew (almost), but in the S6 premiere, his mother shows up. 4 / 6

She knows he is lying about being at UVA, she has a suspicious box with one of Sam's patient files in it, and she gets a text about Annalise's return. 5 / 6

All of which means that Vivian Maddox is going to be an important part of the final season, even if it's not clear how. 6 / 6
