A Con-Artist, a Lawyer, 4 Liars and a Few Dancers Walk into a Newsroom

Pretty Little Liars

After last episode’s ranting about the depicition of homosexual characters on tv, so on and so forth; Marlene King throws us a a curve ball by reintroducing Paige in Emily’s life. Guess part of Maya’s cousin’s (you know my rule about learning names) job was to allow Em to be able to say good bye to her and move on. The other bit was chatting up Jenna and sucker-punching Garett when he went to meet his mother at the hospital. Still don’t trust the guy though.

Speaking of trust, Jenna can see, in public! Well, more like Jenna is letting people know she can see and throwing a big bash to celebrate; At Emily’s place of work. Her manager is Jean Ralphio (<3) in an alternate universe, so we already know this party’s going to be all kinds of awesome (it does not disappoint)

The liars are confused though, I mean just last week she was begging them not to out her because they owed her and now she’s throwing a party? Jenna’s got the perfect response to that.

you go girl!

At the party, Paige gets jealous of shifty boy (Nate I’ve been told) and gets drunk from Emily’s flask of forgotten memories. Aria brings out Ezra in public (how has this man not been arrested as yet?) and Jenna totally undresses him with that “newely” acquired vision of hers (subtext: now you know what was happening behind those sunglasses during English). Aria doesn’t have time for being insecure, she gets with the program since she needs access to Jenna’s photographer’s (for the party) studio to get the deets on Lucas (he worked there, wants his stuff back, photo evidence, graveyard, yada yada) and she’s completely fine whoring Ezra out for that.

Hanna on the other hand has been having a bad few weeks, no Mona, no Caleb, no Dr. Wren (in order of importance); so she has no need to dress up anymore. Mother Extraordinaire signs her up for community service at the church to bring her out of her funk (and punish her for skipping school) and it’s a good thing she did because thankfully Hanna was there to buy back Em’s jacket from the night of the incident.

The “Night of the Incident” also brings us to the hospital where Spencer has been spying on Garett while he visits his mother; Officer Creepy catches her and makes some vague threats again (Can we sue him?). While Emily and Nate bring Paige in after she stumbles and hurts herself. When Nate punches Garret out, Spencer takes the opportunity to sneak into his mother’s room and begins to frisk her comatose body for clues, and Mrs Reynolds does not disappoint. Drunk babes and brawling hunks, just another normal night in Rosewood.

  • Paige tried to drown her, Emily makes up for it by roofying her. True Love
  • Tsk Tsk, using your own mother’s body to pass secret messages.
  • Why did ROSEWOOD’S ONLY RESIDENT DR. Wren not treat Paige (the writers hate Emilt that’s why).
  • “A” looks a tad worried does (s)he not? A calm “A” would never rummage through Maya’s purse like that.

teeheehee

One last love letter...

April 24, 2021

It has taken us some time and patience to come to this decision. TMS would not have seen the success that it did without our readers and the tireless team that ran the magazine for the better part of eight years.

But… all good things must come to an end, especially when we look at the ever-expanding art and literary landscape in Pakistan, the country of the magazine’s birth.

We are amazed and proud of what the next generation of creators are working with, the themes they are featuring, and their inclusivity in the diversity of voices they are publishing. When TMS began, this was the world we envisioned…

Though the magazine has closed and our submissions shuttered, this website will remain open for the foreseeable future as an archive of the great work we published and the astounding collection of diverse voices we were privileged to feature.

If, however, someone is interested in picking up the baton, please email Maryam Piracha, the editor, at maryamp@themissingslate.com.

Farewell, fam! It’s been quite a ride.
