hush, hush, sweet little liArs

Another season in the books! They say the more things change the more they stay the same. That is definitely true of PPL. Now to the recap!

The beginning and end of the episode deals with Hanna and Caleb's plan. It uses her as bait to capture Sara or A. While perfecting the plan we have a flashback showing Hanna and Caleb's breakup and the fact that if Hanna was a minute or two faster they might have still been together. They do kiss (there is a theme with almost all the couple getting back together). In the end the plan does not work, Hanna is captured and looks like she is about to be thrown from the church bell tower just like Charlotte was in the first episode.

Its not all bad news though. Ezra and Aria's book is completed and the publisher loves it, all of it. They will up the release date and go on tour and everything. They celebrate with some coitus , sorry Liam.

Spencer and Toby are working to find a secret room at the Radley. They do find it and in it is a file that shows that Margaret, a patient at Radley, was Charlotte's birth mother. More on that later. Spencer and Toby do not get back together but with Caleb with Hanna and Yvonne upset with Toby it is just a matter of time. The big news is that Spencer's mom won the election!

Emily is taking care of Ali. Ali keeps having  terrifying "visions" of her mother an Walden, and Elliot is out of town. It gets so bad that Ali voluntarily commits herself. It turns out that it was all part of the plan. Margaret was the twin of Mrs. DeLarentis and was using Elliot in a Walden mask to get her money back, or something. You would think there were easier ways but give her a break she was in a loony bin. 

Mona keeps popping up throughout this episode even though she doesn't add anything to it.

Well we will just have to wait a few months to find out that Hanna is still alive since they would never kill off one of the liars.

Also A is now signing the texts A.D. Alison DeLaurentis? Anno Domini? Alpha Dog? 

Well that is all I have to say about that

  

did you miss me?

Since next week is the season finale this week was just setup. Very little happened. I will keep it short and sweet.

On her honeymoon Ali falls down the stairs and ends up in the hospital with a concussion. Hanna visits her and finds a card from A, which she takes. Ali sees her mom who lets her know that she likes Elliot. This is probably a hallucination since her mom is dead. Also all the flowers were from Elliot so the card from A could have been from him.

Aria is better and out of the hospital and working on the book with Ezra. He rewrites a part so she finds out how the last time he saw his girlfriend before she was murdered they had a fight. They have diner with her boss/ their publisher. It goes well, Aria is told that everyone knows about her and Liam so she will no longer be reporting to him.

Emily spots Mona talking to Sara's driver. She follows him to city hall where with Spencer's help they find out that he was picking up blueprints of Radley for Sara.

Besides helping Emily Spencer also drinks wine and gets mad when she sees Caleb and Hanna working so well together. She also has a flashback to when she and Caleb were in Madrid and he explained his favorite painting from the Prado.

Hanna worried about A hurting everyone, comes up with a plan to trap A. She gets Caleb to help and convinces the other liars to help since they will be doing it anyway. Lucas comes back and fixes his loft. He is also  buying and renovating some warehouse and offers Hanna to set up shop in it. At the end of the show she sends a text to A to leave her friends alone since she was the one who killed Charlotte (for anyone who did not watch the show Hanna did not kill Charlotte) as bait.

Sara is back in Rosewood and she and Mona have a conversation where they seem to threaten each other. 

Can't wait till next week!

burn this

It's nice that they had a tie in to "zootopia". Remember when they had it to "Ouija"? I would think they would mention that today is super Tuesday since they mentioned the election a lot but alas they did not.

on to the recap...

After setting a date for her wedding last week, this week Hanna has her bridal shower. It is going horrible, her rosewood friends and NYC friends are not mingling, no one knows anything about her Jordan, Mona shows up. Ohh the the place goes crazy and the fireplace blows burning Aria. FYI Lucas is going to be pissed they ruined his loft; also interesting fact, the number on the door is 2A.

Emily is doing some sleuthing and tracks down the car that almost ran her over last week. She does not find out who was driving it but she does find out that Mona was the one who called Charlotte the night she was murdered.

While looking at the photos from her parents wedding Aria finds the message from new A that they need to give A the killer by election day. She also gets great news from Ezra, he spoke to his editor and got it approved that they will write his book together. She will be his co-author!  Aria fits the description of the person who called Charlotte and has to be part of a line up. She sees Sara leave the precinct shortly after and assumes that Sara was the "witness" but is really just setting her up. Ezra comes to comfort her in the hospital after she got the second degree burns at Hanna bridal shower but when Liam comes he leaves. You can tell that she likes Ezra better; they are totally getting back together. Where were her parents why did they not visit her, plus thanks to Obamacare she is still on their insurance.

Through flashbacks we learn that Spencer and Toby had a pregnancy scare during her sophomore year. Luckily it was just a scare but their relationship did not survive it. Back in the present, Toby is super mad at Spencer and Caleb. When he confronts them Caleb will not admit that he was not the one that leaked Yvonne's abortion but was just taking the fall. Toby punches him in the face. In the end Spencer explains it all to Toby and tells him there is a new A in town. Her dad (mom was missing this episode, probably busy with the election) tells her she has to distance herself from Caleb, she doesn't. When he finds out that she hasn't she goes on the defensive and asked why he let the murder Melissa sneak back to London. He explains that she was being blackmailed and therefore couldn't have killed Charlotte. Spencer also finds out that it was not Mona that leaked the Yvonne thing but because of it they checked the computers and she got fired for the stuff about Spencer's mom. Spencer leaves a voicemail for Yvonne that she is really sorry and if she ever needs to talk to someone Spencer is there for her.

well only 2 more episodes!

that is all I have to say about that
