Pretty Little Liars Recap: The Kahn Game


So last week Hanna used her Wikipedia skills to save Mona from being sent off to Saratoga and then celebrated by giving Wren CPR. Caleb was able to hack into Maya’s website which the girls kept from Emily because she was too busy playing water polo with Paige. Finally, Spencer chased off Toby and Jason and then cried about it while Aria met Ezra’s mother who gave her a very lucrative proposal which she turned down.


Spencer gives good puppy dog face.

Aria and Spencer are in the only hangout in Rosewood discussing the stupid hand stamp that Holden had after Aria discovered it on Maya’s website. Didn’t we already establish that Maya had gone to some of these parties when Holden himself told Hanna this at a party? No wonder why Spencer doesn’t pay much attention to Aria’s ranting. She blames her lack of enthusiasm on missing out on real life priorities like forgetting to mail her early admission application to UPenn. Spencer wants to stop being Velma and start being more Daphne and work on getting into college and getting her boyfriend back. Cece overhears the girls and also brings over Aria’s phone which she left on the counter and tells a shocked Spencer that she went to UPenn. Spencer begs Cece to help her by hooking her up with anyone that she might still know at the college to get her application to the Admissions board (because she can’t just mail it in late?). Cece invites her to a party at an old friend’s house where an admissions rep will be attending after Spencer creepily stares at her with puppy dog eyes. Can we talk about how appropriate it is that a professional would be attending a red cup back alley party with a bunch of underage girls?


Thank God Ashley is good looking or Hanna would be in prison at this point.

Over in Hanna’s neck of the woods, Ashley has decided to show up and is speaking with a police officer who has a court order demanding Hanna’s blood sample in 5 days. Ashley shushes the officer to keep Hanna from hearing and then dismisses him to call Veronica, Spencer’s mom. I think the best part of this scene is that apparently Ashley was familiar with this officer. How many people did she have to sleep with to get Hanna out of trouble? Hanna is at school dressed like a hooker when she spots Caleb across the hallway. Okay 2 things: 1) Do they not have a dress code at this school? 2) Is anyone else irritated at how quickly a day flies by in Rosewood? One minute Hanna is upstairs getting ready for school and then she’s walking around the school hallway. Either they live in a VERY small town or Ashley has no idea what her daughter is up to…maybe a little bit of both?


Really with the flannel stereotype?

    spencer is so stupid. obviously cece is working with A and they’re going to use her application info against them. you’re right, there’s no way she’d get an email that night, for a smart girl she should know that. also, i’m not buying this whole “huge betrayal” reveal of who’s working with A. last time they said it’d be a big surprise and it turned out to be mona, which was NOT a big surprise.

    I honestly feel that it SHOULD be Caleb based on finale pics that have been released of Hanna crying with the others holding her back minus Emily. Then again with the way they draw things out I feel that it will end up being Paige even though her betrayal would only effect Emily. I kind of wonder why Byron and Ashley were thrown in there considering it could have been Jenna and Noel but I guess that’s because they already basically outed themselves.

    This is far fetched but I’ve always had a theory that anyone’s name that ends in A is a part of A’s team. There are SO many names on the show that end in A. Maybe they aren’t permantly on the team but they’ve helped A in some way. Melissa, Jenna, Ezra, etc. and it would include Aria and Hanna. One of the girls HAS to be in on it, otherwise they are bugged. How else would A know everything?

    I care far too much about a teen drama on ABC Family.

    Anniemp, I know what you mean about ABC Family, and the teen dramas! I have just kind of written this show off. I DVR it, and watch it a few days later…I recently started watching the Big Bang Theory, and there is a block on TBS starting at 8 on tuesdays…so I would rather watch reruns of BBT then a new epi of PPL.

    I believe that Jenna is on the A team along with Lucas, Noel, Mona, Melissa. I don’t know about Paige though. Why would Paige, drink from Em’s flask if she was in on it? I think Ezra is too…But only recently. I mean really who else stashes 50k in their sock drawer? That or it is his brother…Doesn’t Caleb know now about A? I mean he must right, he has been hacking into stuff for a while…..Oh, But I am going to have to throw in Jason now also!

    i dont get why this whole A team would be torturing the girls unless they were being paid to…jenna is the only one that has a good reason since they blinded her

    If any of the girls are actually on the A team, the only one that would really make sense would be Aria since nothing bad ever seems to happen to her.

    @DM – Omg, how come I’ve never noticed that before? She’s had a few things – her dad’s affair, that thing with Jackie, but yeah, not near as much as Hanna or Emily. Spencer doesn’t get blackmailed as much, I don’t think, but her life just seems crappy in general. I started to wonder if it’s Ezra’s family ala Sorority Row (yes I watched that). I think Nate was Maya’s stalker guy and isn’t her cousin. And seriously why are they so quick to trust Cece when they are all suspicious of like all the people in their life? It’s weird.
