surfing the aftershocks

I just want to publicly wish Ashley Benson (Hannah) the best of luck getting through this horrible situation. As you have already heard last week she had to take out a restraining order on James Gorton Jr (pictured here http://lgm.cl/tvtropes/staticimages/ralph7_1378.jpg ) a former security guard on the Warner Bros. lot who believed God had told him to start a relationship with her. I hope the best for all actresses and actors on PLL and let’s save the drama for the show.

Now to the recap: I felt nothing really happened this episode; they went back to school and got on with their lives for the most part. There was a funeral that we never saw, Ali’s mom’s; did it even happen? They find out that Jason is not the killer thanks the drunk homeless guy (I guess that will be the last we see of him, too bad I liked that character; also he seems like the last person who should be involved with a detox place, just my opinion).

Ohh, they did add a new character, I missed her name but she is on the swim team even though it seems she knows very little about swimming. She is also way into Emily, almost too much. Since Emily is completely over Paige will this be her new love interest? Probably, how many other lesbians are in Rosewood? Although the timing of her transferring to Rosewood seems suspect, she could be the new A or a friend of Shawna. I’m keeping an eye on you nameless swimmer.

Ezra is back in town recovering. I think he and Aria will get back together. I also think that with him hobbling around in his apartment they will do “rear window” homage, I mean the coffee shop is already named after that film so we already know that at least one writer is a fan of that Hitchcock classic.

Will the Hastings move?  Doubtful but spencer’s dad is thinking about it. He was also pretty creepy offering Ali a ride (and for all the talk about added police presence we did not see one cop the entire show). That was the last we saw of Ali (unless that was her silhouette we saw at the end with Mona) so we have no idea if she took the ride or not and if Mr. Hastings did anything to her. He also won’t share Melissa’s secrete (or a pretzel) with spencer, he’s just “protecting” her, from salt and “you can’t lie about something you don’t know”.

Hannah goes through a realization that she does not know who she really is. Mona molded her into a replacement for Ali, so she does what anyone wanting to reclaim their identity does, gets a brand new hair style! That was probably the most exciting part of the show. As I said, very uneventful, but then again we are just starting the season.

Well that is all I have to say about that.
