Mona is a freaking chatterbox now, saying she drinks a lot of water, like a cleanse type of thing.  Hanna mentions that Mona seems a lot different and Mona says that it’s the new meds.

“Also, I found out that I’m your lord and savior Jesus Christ, so there’s that.”

Whatever works, Mona.  Whatever works.  Mona says that her parents visit but don’t really say anything and even when she was quiet, she knew Hanna was there and it helped.  Hanna’s all, Cut the crap, Girl, Interrupted — we thought that you being here was the end of all those shenanigans, but it ain’t and you know that, so how do you know that, hmmmmm?  Mona’s all, You can’t trust anyone these days, not even your own family, but you’ll always have me and I’m not going to forget any of you, and by the way, “did they ever find what’s left of Alison?”  Oh, suh-nap!  Hanna’s a little verklempt when she leaves the room, but then she sees Lucas coming to visit!  Oh, my!

Ezra runs into Ella at The Bronze and says he wants to discuss Emily.  Ella says that it doesn’t concern him, but then admits that the vice-principal wants to see her because he got a note that stated that Ella was showing favoritism to some students.

“Kind of like you did that time you got to third base with my daughter.”

Ouch!  Ouchies.  She adds that it was about altering test scores but the note was still anonymous — no student was specifically named.  Ella says that she’s going to tell the truth and then waxes on about how she thought that even though her personal life was crazy, she thought her work would be fine.  Obviously, that’s not the case.

Hanna’s leaving the booby hatch when she notices Caleb standing outside, waiting for her.  Caleb’s pissed that Hanna is still visiting Mona but Hanna insists that Mona is the way she used to be when they were friends — she isn’t the same Mona who went crazy and hit Hanna with her car.  Caleb’s all, The f**k did you just say, Mona ran you over?  Hanna:  “Okay, I went OVER the car, not under it.”  Hee.  She tells Caleb that it’s complicated and then Lucas walks out and Hanna’s like, I saw you visiting Mona, you weirdo.  Hanna asks him why he’s visiting her and he says it’s because he wants to see if she’s gone crazy pants on their asses but Hanna says that’s not the reason she’s visiting.  Lucas is all, Did you ever consider that she might be faking her crazy, because it’s better than going to jail.  Just something to think about.  He says it’s safer for a lot of people if Mona just stays crazy and then walks away like Keyser Soze . . .

Aria and Hanna are staking out the H. Cobb situation, waiting for Jenna to show up at H. Cobb’s house or business or something.  Or, rather, waiting at Jenna’s house to follow her to H. Cobb’s, I guess.  That would be easier.  Meanwhile, at Spencer’s house, she’s calling Melissa’s hospital, saying she’s Melissa and needs a copy of her medical records for the insurance company.  Meanwhile, back at the stakeout, Aria and Hanna discuss Emily and Ella’s situations.  Meanwhile, back at Spencer’s house, Spencer is all, Yeah, I was there on June 10th and had a miscarriage.  But the lady on the other end is all, Yeah, we have no record of you being at the hospital.  Spencer is all, Maybe I used my married name, Thomas, so look that up, beyotch.

MEANWHILE, back at the stakeout, Hanna says that she should have asked Lucas about The Black Swan.  Meanwhile, the hospital lady tells “Melissa” (Spencer) that there’s no record, and if she was staying at The Hanover (like Melissa said she was — I’m guessing it’s a hotel or something), then they would have taken her to that hospital, because the other nearest one is three towns over.  Curiouser and curiouser.

    If melissa has been faking her pregnancy longer than we thought, maybe she could have been the one hannah hit with her car, and possibly lost the baby then? Maybe?

    Every time I think I have it figured out I realize that I really don’t. Could we focus on one or two story lines instead of the 36 we have going right now.

    Yeah, I knew Jenna could see! told you so, told you so :)

    Melissa was never pregnant! I think she somehow has Wren and Garrett in on this whole thing. That body could be 1 of 2 people. Alison and or Ian. Although, since we never saw Ian’s body after he took a dive off the bell tower, I am going to assume that he is one of the gloved ones! Somehow Veronica ties into this whole flucked up mess, I just have not figured that out yet!

    True Keebler. That is my speculation about Ian. We assume he killed himself. But I thought he got “wrapped” around that rope…hence my wonderingd about him being part the black gloved ones.

    I thought Ian shot himself (or, I suppose, was set up to look like he shot himself). Right?

    No, I thought he had chased one of the girls up the belltower at church or something, fell and it had looked like he hung himself. When the girls called 911 the police showed up and all we saw was the rope, no Ian…That is why I am thinking that Ian can me one of the hoodie/gloved people…I can be wrong. :)

    But totes Melissa=never pregnant! and Wren is in on that secret!!

    thisbuggs4u — That happened, but then they later found Ian in an abandoned greenhouse or barn or Applebee’s (whatever) shot in the head with a suicide note. It happened in episode 4 of season 2:

    He might NOT be dead, but it’d be a helluva weird twist if he wasn’t. I’m actually surprised I remembered that. Usually I can’t keep the 1,412 plots on this show straight.

    Ok. thanks hypno!! I will go back and read that one :) I missed half of one of these “seasons”. Must have been season 2 because I have season 1 on DVD….so that is what I thought happened to Ian.

    But it is nice to know that Caleb is not living with Lucas….But where IS he living? oh this show…

    Way to call the fake pregnancy, Hypno!!! And all of your screen caps are amazingly hilarious. Also loving “The Bronze” refs. Almost done with the final season!!!

    Keebler – good theory about Melissa being the black swan!!! Did we ever get to see said swan’s hair color???
