A is for answers

We have completed another season so congratulation! The episode seemed more like a reunion then a finale, the Liars finally get a long conversation with Ali plus we get to see a hand full of characters we haven’t seen in a while (Noel Kohn, Ali, Melissa, Ian, CeCe, did I get them all?)

We were told that we would get answers but as I wrote last week since there is another season there will not be any real answers. We still don’t know 1) who A is 2) who hit Ali with the rock and 3) who is in Ali’s grave? We do get some interesting info but nothing that will help us figure out the important questions which will keep Ali with the Liars in Rosewood.

What we did learn: Ali drugged the liars so she could figure who A is. She was not able to find A but she did rule out a bunch of people (Jenna, Ian, the Liars). Spencer did not hit Ali with the shovel. Ali’s mom saw who hit Ali with the rock and then for unknown reasons buried her daughter alive. Plus, not that it really matters it was Ali who pushed Ian from the bell tower.

There is also a weird thing with the cops interrogating the Hastings while they were searching for the Liars. Melissa has horrible timing (welcome back, let’s go to the police station) and I can’t believe that Toby went all the way to London just to have her come back. (Where is Toby, he was not even in the flash back where Ali talked to him, I guess his abs are getting to flabby for the show). Also I thought that the Hastings being the only lawyers in Rosewood would be pulling more strings and stonewalling the cops more.

After making Ezra the bad guy all season they finally redeem him. He figures out who A is, and dies in the process of saving the Liars from A, too bad he did not tell anyone else the identity of A before dying. Why didn’t they shoot A? And how was A and Ezra able to find them in New York while the cops were still looking in Philly?

In conclusion even though it was called “A is for Answers” there were barely any answers and it added even more questions. Also after making us hate Ezra all season it was sad to see him go. While I could not possible figure out why Mrs. DiLaurentis or any mother would bury their own daughter like that, the same exact thing happens to her, kArmA is a bitch.

Well that is all I have to say about that.

unbridled

I would like to thank my sister for posting this blog on her Facebook page; we did see a large increase of readership. I would also like to say “what were you thinking?!” now our parents know about it and if it’s one thing I learned from PLLs it’s that you have to keep parents out of the loop, especially when it comes to all matters of A.

This episode was meh, it felt like a space filler. Some things did happen, Jason was back, we had some flashbacks and Emily broke up with Paige but none of it seemed important. The promos for it made us think that Spencer was getting married, but she didn’t so maybe my expectations were too high. More likely though this is the calm before the storm, next week they claim that “everything will be revealed” and it will be the most shocking episode yet. We can only hope but I doubt that everything will be revealed since they already have been renewed for a fifth season.  

After rejecting Hannah’s “it doesn’t have to be a date, we could just eat at the same time sitting across from each other” Travis shows his true feelings by knocking over the Dilaurentis’ mailbox. Besides that I think Hannah’s mom had more of a role this week then Hannah. Ashley had the whole doing the bridal show and finding the new bag of close in Ali’s room; I thought she managed some properties but as she said the Dilaurentis have helped them at a time when no one else did so she helped out. Plus it was for charity so it’s a good cause.

Aria kind of got in trouble for the raiding of the mini bar last week but just blamed her friend and the issue was dropped. Her mom came back from Vienna and she was excited to see her but then flipped out on her, but they made up at the end of the show when it was revealed that Mrs. Montgomery won’t be Mrs. Montgomery for much longer (she’s engaged (to be married))! I’m not really sure why Aria couldn’t just tell her mom that Ezra was using her to write a book about Ali but she didn’t.

It took a couple of weeks but Emily finally cracked the code and was able to contact Ali. So all the Liars are headed to meet her in Philly but not before Emily breaks up with Paige. Out of all the break ups on this show this was the easiest for me, I doubt that Emily will be crying or breaking plates. I think it’s because I never felt that they were a true couple. For one thing Paige has barely been around, but more importantly Emily was still in love with Ali and Maya. It sometimes felt like she was only with Paige because they were the only two lesbians in Rosewood. Well good riddance, I never forgave Paige for holding Emily’s head under water in season one.

Spencer had the bulk of the episode. She starts warming up to Dean before he gets fired (not sure why she was not happy that he’s gone and she is free to do what she wants), Dean does get to tell her that Jason was not at rehab. She confirms that the Dilaurentis were scared of her and even suspected her of being A through not one but two flashbacks and she gets her wedding dress caught in a bear trap just to find that her corset is made of the phalanges of whoever is in Ali’s grave. Side note: is she still with Tobey? Or did he break up with her? If he did then as of right now none of the Liars have boyfriends (Travis doesn’t count, yet).

Next week is the season finally and we can pray that it will be good and give us some answers. It will at least answer the question of who walked in on the Liars at the end of this episode, maybe Ceecee but that seem too obvious. We may also find out who’s in Ali’s grave. And just maybe we’ll get the identity of A but more likely we will just rule out Mrs. Dilaurentis as A. I can’t wait till it’s over, just one more week!

Well that’s all I have to say about that.

cover for me

Before I get started on the recap I want to go over a mildly humorous story about this blog. I named the blog “PLL next day” because I would be recapping last night’s episode and thought it would be a decent name for the blog. I did not give it much thought till I googled “PPL next day” to see if my blog would be one of the search results. Boy, I was way off, the only search results that came up were things about the morning after pill, there wasn’t even a thing about PLL. So if you came to this site looking for info on the morning after pill, sorry, you won’t find it here, just recaps of PLLs.

Now to the recap!

Spencer got out of rehab into home rehab. I didn’t even know she was gone. I guess she was just there to detox, it only took her 3 day. I would think that the rehab place would want to keep her for at least 30 days but I guess they let her go since she had a counselor staying with her and her parents probably paid a lot of money.  She looks like she’s getting better and she is finally remembering what happened the night Ali went missing, too bad its that she hit Ali with a shovel. I can believe that neither Spencer nor her mom noticed Mrs. DeLaurentis   lurking around her room. The big question is what did the letter from Toby say? Based off of the promo for next week where Spencer is getting married, was the letter a proposal? Would anyone ever accept a letter proposal? We will just have to wait.

Aria had a great time at Syracuse and she lucked out not only did she meet a great guy with a guitar  but they had great weather, for anyone that’s ever been to Syracuse they know that besides a couple weeks of sunshine in the summer  the rest of the time its freezing a dreary. Enough about the weather, Aria was able to get over Ezra and visit her dad without ever seeing him. Plus it seems like her dad did not care that they emptied the entire mini bar. She had a heart to heart with mike about Mona breaking up with him and she got to read Ezra’s book that he will not  be publishing. She is by far the winner of last night’s episode, everything went her way and she is also a fast reader.  She needed an episode like this after the horrible one she had last week.

The cops think Hannah was the one who gave them Paige’s note about Ali being alive. This distracts her from getting with Travis. Will he stick around long enough to start a relationship with her? She needs someone; Caleb has been signed to another season of “Ravenswood”. Detective Hannah is at it again, she figures out that it was Paige who sent the note thanks to her handwriting analysis, what will Emily do about her girlfriend?  Hopefully more than this week where she just confronted Ezra and Mona, nothing happened to her, and we still don’t know who drove a car into her house or how her dad’s heart is doing.

The big reveal is that Ezra believes that Ali’s mom is A and now the girls think so as well.  Based off of last night’s episode alone it makes sense but based off the entire 4 seasons it doesn’t work. She was not in Rosewood for most of the time,  A was living in her basement and drilling holes in the floor, why would she do that to her own house and as detective Hannah said “she’s old, does she even know how to text?” so in a couple weeks we will find out she has a reasonable explanation for her strange behavior, like she is writing a book or more likely trying to find who killed her daughter or if she knows Ali is alive she is probably just looking for her.

Well that is all I have to say about that.
