You know the saying think before you speak? Yeah, Asher's (Matt McGorry) apparently never heard it.

We've got your exclusive first look at ABC's new hit How to Get Away With Murder's second episode, airing on Oct. 2, that finds the ambitious law student inserting his foot directly into his mouth and getting called out for his by his fellow students.

In our sneak peek, Annalise (Viola Davis) asks Wes (Alfred Enoch), also known as "puppy" and "wait list," to speak privately, which of course immediately leads to the rest of the Murder gang talking s--t about him.

"Maybe he's her secret baby, maybe she gave him up for adoption," Asher theorizes when the conversation turns to Wes' surprising placement in the program. Quick to put him in his place? Michaela (Aja Naomi King), who responds, "Because all black people are related?"  His reaction? Priceless.

And while most students would kill (literally) for one of the coveted spots in Annalise's program, it seems like one of the five selected is already thinking of dropping out. Press play on our exclusive clip above to find out. 

But the young lawyer-to-be may want change their mind about the whole quitting thing as HTGAWM is off to a killer start for ABC, with the premiere episode bringing in 14 million viewers and scoring a 3.8 demo rating, actually building on its lead-in Scandal's numbers. TGIT, y'all!

How to Get Away with Murder airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
