Pretty Little Liars: BetrAyer

Hanna in an attempt to channel all her building frustrations turns super-sleuth, and begins to go all CSI on Maya’s website. Emily does her part and they discover Maya may have been hiding out at the Kahn cabin.

Spencer’s super-sleuthing requires her to pick Noel Kahn’s locker in the boy’s locker rooms and then go through his phone. No evidence of the “texting relationship” Noel claimed to have had with Maya (Be honest, how many heard SEXTing? I did). Noel thinks it’s hot that Spencer thinks he’s capable of murder, but then emails her a video proving he’s not (that’s jock brains for you) and neither is Garett.

At the Kahn cabin, Hanna and Emily find Maya’s bag and deduce that she had been hiding out there to avoid being sent to Tru North. There’s a pocket knife in there with the initials L. J. (Lotoya Jackson?) and a bus ticket to San Francisco she never got to use. The bag may not have helped Maya, but when A locks them inside the cabin Hansel&Gretle style, Hanna gets to weild the knife to try and open a window, but ends up stabbing herself in the leg with it and Emily uses Maya’s scarf to dress up her wound.

Resident Dr. Wren is now making house calls, stitching up his newest crush and offering to make her a meatball and egg milkshake. Within the space of hours he has managed to hit on Hanna twice, each time with the same result; but she does keep saying he saved her life (and kissed him once) so I understand where the mixed signals are coming from.

Aria is all passive aggressive towards Ezra for getting a girl preggo with his eggo all the way back in highschool and then channels her frustrations towards fixing her mother’s love life. Yeh, that.

Emily gets all emotional and kisses Nate. Paige sees them, says “‘F**k this sh*t” and vandalizes some trashcans. We understand your pain Paige.

“A” moves into his/her new abode and arranges his/her wardrobe. 5 black hoodies on a rack. Fancy stuff.

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 [email protected].

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