This week Michael was in Jordan so I (his sister, Traci) took it upon myself to fill his shoes. Well let's just say that this episode was terrible (and not just because there was no mention of Harrisburg). I had really been impressed lately with PLL. The episodes during the kidnapping were exciting and fast paced. I guess those girls should have stayed in that house forever just to keep the show more interesting but oh well.
The girls are all back safe with their families and struggling with their readjustment to regular life. Noticeably missing is Mona. One might think after they all went through that together it wouldn't be so easy to forget her, but apparently it was.
The girls agree not to tell the police about Charles and to just let them go after Andrew (who they believe is Charles/A) and figure it out on their own. This makes it obvious that Andrew isn't actually guilty (probably framed) and Charles is still out there because they need two more seasons of material.
All of the girls are struggling in their own way. Hannah feels the need to change her room, Aria wants it to be over so badly that she's willing to lie to the police, Emily takes out her frustrations at the shooting range against the wishes of her mother, and Spencer steals pills after her mother won't allow her to get the anxiety meds from the hospital.
Also noticeable was the fact that the girls' mothers were the only parents present in this episode. You would think after their daughters had been kidnapped the fathers would want to see them too. Only Emily's dad had a real excuse and they used that as an opportunity to show Emily's longing for her father which seemed like foreshadowing when Emily might join the Army.
Lastly, now Alli is back in town as a free woman so she obviously needs a man too. Welcome Lorenzo, Toby's new partner! They meet in an awkward interaction between Alli and Toby and then see each other again at Church because obviously no one can be single in this show for an entire episode.
Anyway, I hope Mona is okay!
