In the kitchen, Paige asks Emily about Nate and Emily says that it’s complicated. Aria shows up and then Paige leaves in a huff. Aria takes some tea and pours it all over Laurel’s equipment and is all, “I’m getting into her studio tonight.” Huh?
Spencer texts Emily and tells her that she had to leave the hospital, and then:
“Good day, human. I must plug myself into your nearest electrical outlet before I SYSTEM ERROR 708.”
Oh, Tobot. He tells her that he thought that getting his own place above The Bronze (he calls it The Broom or something, I don’t know, it’s hard to understand robots sometimes) would have eased his family drama, but such is not the case since Jenna’s throwing her Happy Birthday to My Eyes and Boobs Party right below him. Spencer tells The Tobot that she’d love to make out all night, but she has a French test to study for. But eff it, he can stay anyway. She asks Toby how come they were the only 2 who knew that Jenna was faking her sight for so long. Toby says that she told her parents she started seeing shadows and crap over the summer but was too scared to tell them about it. The Tobot looks very Chris Isaak-y tonight.
Back at the party, Paige is tipping the flask again, and Ezra is pissed that Aria left him alone to talk with Jenna. He wants to leave prontito, but Aria tells him they should stay for a few more minutes. And then Paige is drunk and poking cupcakes with her finger (hee) and Jenna’s all, You’re drunk! And Paige is like, Nuh-uh! And Emily’s all, Paige come with me! And Paige goes, Oh, so now you have time for me?! Then Paige goes off to dance by herself, but she doesn’t really get very far because she trips on something and cuts her head open. Happy birthday, Jenna!!
At the hospital, Hanna shows up to be with Emily. So sweet! Just like a cupcake. Nate goes to get the girls some coffee and Hanna shows Emily the jacket. Em confirms that it’s hers from a rip in the pocket. Hanna mentions that Em didn’t have it on at the graveyard, so did she leave it in Jenna’s car or something? Emily says that maybe Jenna wasn’t the only person she saw that night. Hanna goes back to the church and then Nate shows up with the coffee. Oh, thank god, because I was worried about the coffee plot. Em sees Det. Wilden and starts to text someone.
Back at the party, Aria’s running around like a dumbass, ending up in the kitchen, where Ezra comes in to whine like a hipster baby, all, Me wantee dinner, me wantee dinner! These two are coming dangerously close to being my least favorite television couple ever.
Uh-oh — looks like someone’s got some competition.
Wah wah wah me wantee spend money on you, Aria wah wah wah! Ezra wanted to take Aria out to celebrate the fact that he got a g.d. editing job. I hate you, Ezra. I hate you so, so much. Even with the scandal of OPENLY dating your ex-student, even with leaving your freaking high school English teaching job partly because of said relationship, you still get a freaking editing job. Suck it, Ezra. Suck it two times. Hell, suck it a third time, even. Laurel comes in and is all, Oh no my equipment! Aria’s all, I can go to your studio and get you more memory cards! Laurel is all, That’s great! Aria’s all, Awesome! I’m all, Suck it again, Ezra. Aria says she’ll be right back and Eeyore — oh, sorry, I meant Ezra — is all, “I’ll call the restaurant and cancel the reservation.” Aria tells him just to call and hold it a little longer.
Aria walks over to Laurel’s studio and heads inside as sinister-y music plays. She opens a cabinet and finds a bag of crap with a tag attached to it. Whose name is on the tag?
Betty mutha f**kin’ Applewhite’s name.
I wish. I really, really do. Actually, it’s Lucas’s bag of crap. Aria’s looking through stuff and someone’s shadow moves across the wall, of course. She heads outside and runs into Lucas, who is crazy as f**k now and is all, “I need to get inside.” Aria says she can’t, but Lucas won’t move at all and is all menace-y. Well, as menace-y as Lucas can be. Ezra pulls up and wonders what’s going on and Lucas scampers away like Bart Simpson during that episode where he sold his soul to Milhouse.
“I need a soul, Ezra. Any soul. YOURS!”
Also, does anyone else think a fight between Ezra and Lucas would end up being a fight like Hugh Grant and Colin Firth had in “Bridget Jones’s Diary?” It’d be even more of a wuss-off, it anything. I really want to watch that movie now . . .

Since when is putting on a clip-on tie harder than tying one? Puh-leeze.
I do love your idea of the fight between Ezra and Lucas being like the one between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones Diary. Made me laugh!
Hahaha! Totally! “This clip-on tie is too frustrating. I’ll go with a regular tie; those are fuss-free, thanks!”
I wish Pam had been walking by the doorway just then, holding a box full of ties, just at the right moment. “Oh, honey, I have a box of ties right here!” Actually, I want there to be a running theme were Emily says stuff like, “I could really go for some milk right now,” and then Pam walks by with a box of milk cartons. “Oh! Here you go honey!”
“I really wish I had a live Indigo Girls CD right now.” “Oh, sweetie, I was just walking by with this box full of Indigo Girls CDs! Here you go!”
Did I miss a plot line about Ezra being broke??? I didn’t understand Aria’s pressing need to keep him from living in a van down by the river??
I love this recap. I love it so much, I want to put it in my pocket and take it home and cook it a nice meal and then snuggle up with it on the couch while we eat popcorn and watch Bridget Jones’ Diary. If I wasn’t married already, I would drag this recap down to the courthouse and make it legally mine forever. I love it that much.
Hypno – the fact that you lovingly hate this show makes your recaps even better. Tobot. Ha.
So, no one in Rosewood gives a shit that Aria is dating their old teacher? There was no scandal? They can just show up to a H. S. bday party together and everyone’s like, “Hey.”????
I think the pills came from Mona. Is Paige stupid? She didn’t realize the flask was Emily’s?? The questionsssssss!!!!!!! Ieofpqjrnfobiowjt
Jena’s face is weird.
GREAT RECAP, as always. I’ve come to terms with the fact I’m never going to be able to follow the characters’ logic with anything and will just accept everything that happens. There’s no way I’m going to remember anything about pills and flasks and where the pills came from and who they were meant for and why why WHY.
@ Plockeness– probably because the actress that plays her is like, 30 years old.
SuburBint — Let’s go to Utah so that you can marry this recap and then I can marry both of you and the three of us can live happily ever after.
plockeness — It’s Aria. She has the emotional maturity of ants on a log. And I don’t mean ants, as in insects, on a log, as in wood. I mean that she has the emotional maturity of a stick of celery with peanut butter smeared in the middle and sprinkled with raisins. I can’t explain her because . . . Well, I just don’t like her. I make no bones about the fact that she’s my least favorite PLL girl. Especially since she and Ezra flaunt their love like Neil Patrick Harris flaunts his fatherhood (we get it, you’re a hot gay dad, we’re cool with it, we were always cool with it, enough).
I love this show, mostly because it infuriates me on a weekly basis. Let’s add yet another plot to the 8 that we already have! Let’s add more new characters!!! Let’s bring back characters that have been gone for 14 episodes!! At this point, I fully expect the new “A” to be either that lame tennis kid that Spencer hung out with or Emily’s dad or the first guy that played Jason. Suspense!
Also, can I get some more love for my Riley hate? That guy SUCKED. Perhaps if they would have hired an actual actor for the role, it would have been better. Season 4 is still oddly my favorite season of Buffy (I looooooooove shows about college), but Riley is the worst, except for maybe –
Aaron Rose. Where my Gossip Girl hos at?! Again, if they’d hired a real actor, perhaps it would have worked out. Also, it would have been nice if the “actor” didn’t look like he couldn’t give an infinity amount of shit about his role during every single second he was onscreen. I swear, watching his episodes was BRUTAL. He and Serena may be neck-in-neck with Buffy and Riley.
@ Dangerously — the pic of Buffy and Riley is what completely sold me on this recap. I hate the Buffy/Riley relationship with a deep, abiding, and poisonous passion, and every time I watch season 4, I spend much of the time saying cruel and cutting things to him. Sadly, my words seem to have no effect.
How great was it when Buffy and Spike got engaged, and Riley found Buffy looking at wedding dresses? LOVE THAT!!!! “Oh, no, he’s totally old! Well, not as old as my last boyfriend….” “I’m very tired now, and I’m going to go far away and just be… away.” Yet he always returns. And sticks around waaaay too long.
Anyway, no, you are not along in the Riley hatred. And I don’t think it was just because Marc Blucas is a horrible actor, the whole Initiative storyline is clunky and weird and unpleasant. Also, Riley is totally just a rebound from Angel. Who is also annoying, but I don’t want to kick him in the junk every time he appears onscreen.
Is it just me, or is Buffy kind of like Ted on How I Met Your Mother? She’s the main character and everything revolves around her, but she’s by far the last interesting character on the show. Okay, stopping now, cos I could ramble on about BtVS all day. You may now return to your regularly scheduled Pretty Little Liars discussion.
@Hypnotoad I just got up, and was just on the MasterChef recap, which is why I foolishly called you Dangerously. Which is embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as if it had happened in bed, so we’re all just going to pretend like it didn’t happen. Right?
Slinking off now to go and blush in a corner….
Almost as embarrassing as forgetting to close my html tags. I am on a roll today! Time to step away from the computer.
I’m pretty entertained by your post right now SB…keep going
@ Classy Drunk — I think I am currently a danger to myself and others, comment-wise. It’s raining today and that always makes me super sleepy, and when I’m super sleepy I lose all of my normal faculties and become a rambling, wrong-name using, html-tag-leaving-open-er. Which may be amusing at first, but will end badly.
But Em doesn’t like boys so why would Paige be so jealous of her talking to Nate for like five seconds. So jealous that she has to start drinking? Paige that’s reserved for when your girlfriend tells you she found someone else and she’s moving out of your place and in with her. Kids these days are so sensitive.
How did Aria keep getting back in the kitchen? Don’t most places look down on that? Was there no hair in the cupcakes? Maybe that why the sucked.
I wonder are little girls watching this and thinking the relationship with Ezra and Aria is cute.
@Classy Drunk: Sadly, yes they are. At least my 12 and 14 year old nieces are. They think Ezra is hot and the relationship is ooooh so annoying. Which is only part of the reason I despise that story-line so much.
I keep saying, Aria’s a teenager, so I kind of expect her to be naive and to think it’s great that her teacher wants to date it. Ezra’s a supposed adult who is so immature and whiny, it doesn’t matter to me how “cute” he ostensibly is. I’m hoping for the character to die a grizzly death by the end of the season. Is that very wrong of me?
I fiiiinally got around to watching this episode/reading your hilarious recap.
When did A&E go public with their relationship? I thought the only people who knew were the other PLLs and Aria’s parents. Suddenly, they’re flaunting it all over town.
Did the only other restaurant in town burn down? They’re always at this Bronze place now. At least everything (the Bronze, the photog lady’s shop, the cupcake store, the hospital, the church) are conveniently all on the same block.
The horrible product placement for Katy Perry’s movie (“don’t you want to see the firework sizzle?” or something) made me want to die.
