Emily: Making the name Rear Window Brew relevant since 2014.

Speaking of Emily, she finds Mona, who tells her that Ezra blackmailed her about her A-ness to get details for his book. Mona doesn’t know Ali is still alive, it would seem.  I do feel kind of bad for Mona, but it’s weird that she says Mike was a great guy the evening after he yelled at her in school.

Thanks Mona, I had a really great time, too. Do you want to come in for a coffee?

There’s just one thing Mona doesn’t know, and that’s who stole her game at Radley. Apparently Ezra knows, though. Hmmmm, who is on the board at Radley, let’s see…

No, Ezra, we will NOT be having make-up sex tonight. If anything, it will be revenge sex and/or angry sex and/or I never want to see you again but the sex was pretty good so maybe one last time but NO kissing sex.

Over at Murderville, I mean Ezra’s apartment, Aria shows up to tell him he has to leave. And by leave, she means get the fuck out of town because she never wants to see her face again. Ezra seems like he wants to get back together? He says he was in New York to cancel the contract. Why should she believe him? Aren’t you glad she doesn’t?

I’d be honored if you read my new Monanna story.

He gives her a copy of the manuscript and tells her she should read it for her own safety.

“Mona trembled under Hanna’s touch. ‘I… I think I love you,’ she said.” Ugh Ezra, you need to get to the sex faster.

She begins to do so, then sends an S.O.S. message out.

great now I have Rihanna stuck in my head.

Spencer picks the lock of her parent’s desk and gets her cell phone back in time to get the S.O.S. message Aria just sent. Emily sends out a text to meet at her place. Hanna ditches out of her date early, but not before kissing Buzzcut because that’s how Hanna shows affection now apparently and they all meet up at Emily’s.

Emily tells Aria that Mike thinks Aria broke up him and Mona but it’s not true.

Who leaves their love notes in the envelopes when they pin them on their bulletin board? Unless it’s THAT kind of love note…

Hanna finds a note from Paige to Emily in the handwriting of the note given to Officer Holbrook. Dammit, Paige.

PLL422-00268
Listen, Spencer, this needs to be a safe space if we’re going to have a foursome. I don’t need your negativity about how you think you’re not bendy enough for that position.

Aria tells them that Ezra believes A is Mrs. DiLaurentis. The Liars are just as confused as we are.

Spencer realizes that A wants them to stop looking for Alison because she wants her to come home. Spencer fesses up to the dirt she found in her bed and the cryptic comment about it. Spencer also tells the Liars that she really believes that she killed Ali. But Ali isn’t dead, so why is Spencer freaking out?

Hanna wins rationale of the night.

After, Hanna corners Emily to tell her that she knows Paige knows Ali is alive. Now everyone knows. Dammit, Paige.

NOPE

Spencer tries to sneak back in, only to be caught by Mrs. Hastings, because duh. You didn’t think she’d notice? Come on, Spencer.

The pic that launched a thousand Jessica DiLaurentis/Spencer Hasting shippers.

When Spence goes up to her room, she notices a light goes on in Alison’s bedroom. She goes to the window and we see a shape come in, then Mrs. D is illuminated with the most terrifying face ever and I actually rewound this scene about four times because I couldn’t believe it. It actually was Mrs. DiLaurentis in Spencer’s room, looking murderous. So who is in the DiLaurentis house turning on lights? ALISON?!

PLL422-00297
No one is noticing the grown woman in the shadows? No? Oh okay.

Spencer’s mom comes up and we see Mrs. D creep back into the shadows.


PLL422-00298
Congrats, PLL, for jumping the shark and making the Liars wear wedding dresses to be murdered in.

In our ending A scene, A is zipping up a wedding dress in a garment bag. As in a wedding dress for a wedding charity event.

In next week’s promo, we watch as Spencer wears that exact dress and walks out into the woods, then presumably gets stabbed? STABBED? I can’t.

Let’s talk about Mrs. DiLaurentis being A. I just can’t/won’t believe it. I don’t like it. I don’t. The writers are just making this shit up haphazardly at this point and I don’t like it. They better make the next two episodes amazing with details we “missed.” And who was in the DiLaurentis house turning on lights?

Do you guys think Spencer hit Ali with a shovel? Obviously we know Ali is alive, but she could have been pretty badly hurt by that. Thoughts?

Who stole the game from Mona? Mrs. DiLaurentis? Ezra? Toby’s mom? Wren? Hanna? Ali? Spencer? I’m just naming anyone I know associated with Radley at this point, to be honest.

This episode. Ugh. Lots of filler, but then a really random A set-up. What’d you guys think?
