Has it BAD for you* stupid autocorrect

Spencer is at home, getting texts from Emily about Ali’s mom having it out for her. Dean walks in. Surprise, Dean wants her to talk to him. She admits that she has huge holes in her brain from the summer Ali was killed.

Hey girl, you just close your eyes. I’m going to read a metaphor to you.

He says he is reading Jack Dempsey’s “Love at First Fight.” Is he seriously going to read to her right now?

PLL423-00179
There are like twenty applicable fart jokes that could go here.

Spencer’s mom comes home and finds Dean asleep on top of Spencer in the couch. They must have fallen asleep when he was reading to her.

PLL423-00181
Aaaaand THAT’S how lesbians make babies.

Mrs. Hastings fires him immediately. That’s just going to make her like him more, you know that?

PLL423-00188
FINALLY someone notices that they’ve been watched through the window forever.

Spencer definitely sees someone standing outside the window watching them.


PLL423-00190
Just take a moment to examine the fashion in this shot. What is going on here?

The Liars meet up to talk about Jason. They discuss who is in Ali’s grave. Who is after Ali? Not Ali’s mom.

Hanna, you can’t just put your whole hand in there like that, you have to ball your fingers together and make a fist.

Hanna runs in to tell them they are putting on wedding dresses for charity.

PLL423-00201

They need a reason to be in that house because of the clothes Ashley found.

PLL423-00206
Police of Rosewood: Crashin’ the hangouts of teen girls since 2010.

Officer Holbrook comes by to say that he doesn’t want to give them false hope, but says that if she is alive, there’s going to be a lot of questions.


PLL423-00211
Honey, I misplaced my RodeoH. Did it get mixed up with yours in the laundry?

Spencer’s mom is going through all of her stuff. She asks why Spencer doesn’t feel safe. Is she angry with Spencer for not feeling safe? Spencer asks for answers about that summer. Mrs. Hastings says that there was an incident that happened before Melissa left for school.

Stacy and Clinton would never approve of this one.
PLL423-00228
Mrs. Hastings, we really have to stop meeting like this.

Flashback! Mrs. Hastings is throwing away scissored clothing and Ali walks over to press her buttons. Did Melissa and Spencer have a fight? Spencer’s mom has a bit of a breakdown, asking why Spencer is acting “like this.”

PLL423-00229
hide ya kids, hide ya wife.

Spencer is hiding outside and Ali sees her. What?! What happened there?

PLL423-00218

Apparently those pills made Spencer a bit of a monster. Spencer’s mom begs her to leave that summer alone, which can’t be a good sign.

uhhhh awkward

Spencer looks out her window to see Mrs. DiLaurentis looking right in at her, then closing the blinds.


PLL423-00245
I told you I was busy practicing like I had no neck.

Hanna shows up at the wedding dress event thing and finds Buzzcut working. Okay, so he wasn’t just blowing her off. Now we can feel good about him as a person. Right?

Let’s have a ridiculous montage of people putting on wedding dresses. Don’t get me wrong, I love weddings and Pinterest and people being happily in love. But this is such a jump the shark kind of move.

The Liars all look pretty miserable, thank goodness.

PLL423-00258
ugh marriage is so heteronormative. imma go get civil unioned, bitches.

Spencer goes into the house to look for her veil and runs into Jason. Spencer says she is helping, not trying to hurt anyone.

PLL423-00264
If she was naked, that vase could be very cleverly placed.

She says they have a lot in common, what with their rehab stints and all. She also brings up that Jason saw CeCe wearing the exact same clothes at Ali’s house the night she disappeared. Could it have been not CeCe?

PLL423-00278
Blue Steel

Dean shows up to give Spencer his business card. CALLED IT. Called it that he’d fall for her. They awkwardly hug. Dean says Clark Center, the place where Jason supposedly went to rehab, has been closed for two years. Whaaaaaaaaat! He tells her to be careful, then leaves.


PLL423-00285
Love it when bosses get mad at you for doing your job.

Jessica is pissed that the Liars are modelling the dresses. Didn’t she already know Spence would model that dress A messed with last time?

PLL423-00287
Who pissed in Jessica DiLaurentis’ Cheerios this morning?

What is her deal? She was fake nice for so long.

PLL423-00292
Gosh how did Rose have her corset so tight on the Titanic and still manage to wildly dance in Steerage I just don’t get it

Spence tells the Liars that Jason lied. It’s time for them to model! Which we never see, which is really depressing. Remember their last runway thing? Where the video of Ali being a bitch came on? Were we ever so young? Anyway, Spencer goes outside and sees Jessica walking into the woods to give something to someone. It’s very vague. And of course she goes to find out what’s going on, which is probs the scene from the beginning.
