March of crimes

Mikey is still unicycling in Montreal so you are stuck with me (Traci) again. At the begining of this episode it appeared as though the Liars were falling apart, but by the end it seems they are back together and pitted against Alli who is becoming increasingly sketchy.

Hannah's drinking continues and gets so bad that her mom finds out. But really who drinks out of a flask? Especially in high school? Hannah is loathing Alli staying with her and avoiding at all costs. She even claims that "even the doorknob smells like Alli." Luckily Spencer points out the bad scripting herself by asking, "Who smells a doorknob?"


Ezra is gone for a second week in a row and now Ella's man is also out of the picture. Even though Aria freaked out at Hannah last week for telling her about Jake she gets pretty skeptical. When she starts questioning Ella about it we find out it's not the first time he's been a creeper. Caleb also finds out and sucker punches Jake only to find out that A got involved in this situation (obviously). The party is ruined and the wedding is off. Ella is crushed and luckily her ex-husband (who we haven't seen in ages) is right there to break her fall.


Spencer heads to the eye doctor to take care of that eye injury and gets her pupils dilated. Do they still do that anymore? My doctor doesn't. While her vision is temporarily impaired she thinks she sees 2 A's (but really one of them is Sydney). She freaks out and makes Emily come, even though she is in the middle of breaking into Noel Kahn's car (which we will get back to). After Spencer gets a note from A in the doctors office, Emily arrives to point out that one of the Jennas is actually Sydney. They are both shocked and appalled that they are friends. While we already knew this, I am still confused as to why Sydney wears blind people sunglasses and only wears them when she is with Jenna. Sydney tries to explain it to Emily but Emily isn't having it.


Emily has her interview with the Coach so she can officially take on the job of Assistant Coach and so that she can notice the super secret binders with locker number assignments (why is that so confidential??) She goes into Noel's locker and gets his car keys. In his car he finds pictures of Alli when she was on the run and the tape recording of Alli that Emily had heard Noel listening to.


Spencer tries to hide the photos and tape in her family's creepy cabin and run's into Noel creepily hiding under some sheets. How did he find her? They fight over the photos and Noel claims he needs them as protection because Alli throws away people once she's done with them. While we are still meant to be skeptical of Noel, that definitely seems to make sense.


As Alli and Mrs. Marin return from the party that never happened, they get a call from the police. Apparently they found the guy that broke into the house and ostensibly captured Alli. Once they get to the station we see a guy committing to Alli's story who we've never met before. Who sent him there? And why would someone commit to years in prison? Maybe he's A? Or maybe Alli sent him to back her story? Who knows really?
