Pretty Little Liars
The liars have been having a rough couple of weeks, no Mona, no Wren, No Caleb, Spencer’s mom is Garret’s lawyer and Officer Creepy is back. You know its going to get worst when one of the Dad’s makes an appearence. Unless it’s Em’s dad, then it’s all flowers and rainbows and hugs. Sadly though it’s Spencer’s Dad first the bearer of bad news (the evidence against Garret may be thrown out), then stalks on brother and sister bonding time (while they solve crimes together) and then threatens his own son to stay away from his sister. He’s currently ahead of Aria’s father in the “Father of the Year” standing.
Hanna’s always been the second most badass liar (behind Spencer obviously), so she not only smuggles in a note to “A” through Garret’s comatose mother (and causes her to nearly die), but also sets up the meeting place AND shows up to the meeting alone. In between though, she has to deal with her mother crushing on the church’s pastor and thinking she’s making a fool of herself (she’s not, but it’s cute to see her flustered) and Toby’s boredom (and increasing suspicions). The church party puts Hanna’s plan in jeopardy, enough people for “A” to hide and watch from a safe distance. As she hides behind a pulpit (?) waiting for “A” to show up (and giving us, the audience, the opportunity to scream “No Hanna! don’t go alone, haven’t you learnt anything?”) we know “A” will probably not make an appearance, but send in some sort of a fake out. However, we’re not treated to anothe roof collapsing on Hanna, though being alone with Officer Creep while he harrasses her is probaby worse. He confronts her about her visit to Garret’s mom (meddling idiot stole the note meant for “A”, so quite the waste of time the church party turned out to be). Hanna mostly evades his questions, but he’s convinced the liars are in cahoots with Garret and his accomplices (circumstantial claimes these).
Hanna also tracks down where Emily’s jacket was donated from. Emily makes the trip back into time, at a diner she has flashbacks of sharing a meal with someone who wrote, “I’m sorry I left you” (that can only be Allison right?). She also manages to remember seeing a tattoo of some sort on that person’s wrists. At the church party she runs into Holden (who’s still alive!) who’s got the same tattoo on. It’s an underground party stamp, so I guess the Liars are going to an underground party soon.
Brother and Sister team up to figure out who April Rose is. From a victim of NAT, to a member, there seem to be a few possibilities. Nothing is what it seems in Rosewood (or it’s surrounding areas) and turns out April Rose isn’t really a person at all, but an antiques shop. Have those Antiques Roadshow guys ever been to Rosewood, because there really are way too many creepy places selling creepy things for this to NOT have registered on some scale in the reality world. There they find (besides the creepy lady with the earbuds) Allison’s charm bracelet. Ian drops off the bracelet at the police station and turns out the blood on the bracelet wasn’t Garret’s. They exonerated him! (ummmm, that really wasn’t the plan).
Aria spends most of the episode off screen disturbed by her boyfriend’s rolls of cash (which he hides in his sock drawer like an amatuer). His explanatio shouldn’t satisfy Aria, but hey! it gives Ezra the edge his pale existence had been lacking so far (he gave the Liars up for the money to Ian, I know it).
- Officer Creepy isn’t satisfied just ruining Hanna’s life, he goes all volatile subtext on her mother too.
- Holden’s alive! (and probably part of the “A”-team).
- “A” loves Emily the mostest.
- Ezra’s real secret, he’s become a stripper now.
Boy’s got some (lame) moves
