Spencer comes home to her mom going over Garrett’s case and junk.  Veronica says that most of the evidence is circumstantial and will probably get thrown out.  Spencer, still convinced Garrett is guilty, is pissed at her mom.  So she unloads that she knows that Melissa didn’t go to the hospital and her mom joined her at The Hanover.  She adds that Melissa left looking pregnant and came back not pregnant, so she was (wait for it, wait for it) faking her pregnancy.  Which would make sense, given that when Melissa was “pregnant” her belly looked like someone stuffed a bag of athletic socks into her sweater.  She asks her mom if she knew that Melissa was faking and Veronica says that she didn’t know until she got to The Hanover (although she had suspicions).  Spencer asks her mom when Melissa lost her baby, but Veronica won’t tell her.

At The Bronze, Emily storms in to tell Ezra that she’s pissed about what he did, because she doesn’t need her teachers to feel sorry for her and he probably wouldn’t have done it if he wasn’t statutorily dating Aria.  He says he’s not sure if that’s the case or not and he’s sorry that Emily got caught in the middle.  Emily says she’s sick of being treated like she’s made out of glass.  Ezra gives her another test or something and tells her to take it.  I don’t know.

Mona’s lying in her bed, singing to herself.  She has a good voice.  She’s also holding a card — the queen of hearts, because it’s always the queen of hearts, isn’t it?

End Credits “A” Sequence:  On a glass table are a few teeth, more of those bracelet letters, some ribbon, and a pair of pliers.  The gloved person pours a glass of vodka, then places it in a large freezer full of ice.

And probably a dead body.

So, I guess no one blackmailed Ella.  She was just being nice as well as stupid.  Maybe I’m just tired and cranky, but what, exactly, is the point of this new “A?”  Is he/she trying to frame the girls for digging up Alison’s body?  Is that it?  Because it’ll be one looooooooooonng half-season first half of season three’s two halves summer half season if that’s the case.  I’m pretty meh on this season so far.  See you in the comments.

    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.

    if melissa was faking her pregnancy then she could have been the black swan at that dance…im kind of convinced that spencer’s family does not love her

    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???
