Warning, this was one of the Worst. Episodes. Ever.

Last week Spencer and Aria played truth with Jenna and Noel and they basically admitted to fucking with them and being on the A Team. Caleb gets some brains and figures out that Hanna is dealing with a new A and decides to take matters into his own hands against Hanna’s advise. Emily and Paige are still lesbian for each other while Aria and Ezra are dealing with the past including Ezra maybe having a kid somewhere.


Seriously? They pick Hanna to read the note?

Ashley and Hanna are arranging potted plants outside when Hanna finds an old note under a pot that Maya wrote to Emily. Why it was on Hanna’s porch is beyond me. Wait didn’t Em diss Maya at a party at Hanna’s house because Maya was smoking weed the night she left? It seems so long ago and I’m too lazy to look it up. Anyway, the girls are looking over the note and realize that Maya wanted to tell Emily something the night she was murdered. Aria is cream cheesing her bagel when Ezra walks out and grabs one only to realize that Aria is likely going to be late for school. Aria confronts him wanting to know how much Ezra’s mother paid Maggie to go away. First off, why does the amount matter because you already let that ship sail away when you forgot to ask his mother who made the offer to you. Secondly, get off the dude’s nuts already about this girl because you aren’t even asking the important question of whether or not she carried through with the pregnancy. Ezra tells Aria he didn’t want to drag all his skeletons out and that she took her time with revealing Jenna and A to him. Aria says that’s different and Ezra goes to take a shower because he knows that he is right. Aria lies when it is convenient but can’t handle when Ezra doesn’t reveal everything which isn’t really a lie, it’s just holding onto the truth.


Wren > Caleb = Duh

Hanna and Emily are at the coffee shop where Hanna is analyzing Maya’s webpage for more clues with her fresh set of eyes. In walks Wren because this is apparently the only store in the town of Rosewood and he makes his way over to her. He clearly has a thing for her but Hanna blames being Spencer’s best friend and not being over Caleb for not wanting to do anything further with Wren. He tells her whenever she is ready he will be there. Are there no 20 year old women in Rosewood because the dudes are LOVING the young high schoolers. So let me get into a mini rant for a second because this is something that has seriously been bothering me. Do these girls have teleporters or is the town really that small because the next scene is Emily sitting at school with Spencer. How the hell did she get from the coffee shop, where she was apparently working, to school that quickly?  Spencer is complaining about failing her classes with B’s and I can’t help but wonder if she actually attended classes then maybe she wouldn’t be failing. She also mentions that Toby is working outside the county so that we know he hasn’t died and so he can be placed on the Suspect Tracker with a viable alibi. Paige walks up and tells Emily she has to talk to the swim coach. Aria walks in on her mom having lunch with Zack and kissing. Is this appropriate during the day because what if it had been another student that caught them? Anyway, Zack walks off and Aria teases her mom a bit.


Spencer grows balls.

    i think paige killed her too and she’ll probably be the one to betray them cause she caught emily kissing nate or it could be caleb if he finds out about hanna kissing wren

    Is nate on that suspect list?
    Ok guys … help me out here … if I remember right, didn’t Maya have a boyfriend/stalker/guy that she met when she was at that drug school/camp/thingy? I think I remember her telling Emily that she has a stalker, and I am thinking that stalker is Nate. I really don’t believe he is her cousin. I mean he knows too much about her and really just showed up out of nowhere. This show has got me so batshit crazy! Too many scenarios. I do like your theory of Paige being Maya’s killer, but I also think Nate might have had something to do with it. I sure hope that storyline is reveale soon and not drawn out for another season.

    Lurker you are right she claimed to have a stalker that texted her often which makes me think it may have been a lie because she was really texting noel for weed. I dont believe Nate either and he is a terrible actor right up there with emily. They have one face for emotion :/ . IMarlene King says this season ends with Maya’s murder resolved but I dont know if that means this finale in two weeks or the full season finale in a few months.

    Where’s Mona? Did they send her away? I thought Hannah speech convinced the doctors to let her stay.

    lurker that’s a really really smart thought!! the thing that struck me as the most weird about him was how he was like, “oh that’s maya’s handwritting.” none of my cousins know my handwritting and i could never pick theirs out either. it would make so much sense if he was the betrayal. but this show makes no sense so…

    Begonia, I also remember a scene where Nate remembered a pair of earrings that Emily bought for Maya. I thought that was weird becase Nate hadn’t seen his ‘cousin’ in so long and was remorseful in not spending more time with her.

    SG, what you say makes a lot of sense, and I think you are probably right. I still think that Nate is probably the stalker, but Paige probably did kill Maya out of jealousy or rage or something. Plus Jenna did warn Emily this last episode that she needs to be careful with who she hangs around … or something like that.

    As for the betrayl, I am thinking it will probably has something to do with Caleb or Ezra. Ezra has been really shady lately, and Maggie will probably show up in the season finale with his 10 year old kid or something. So, to me, that leave Caleb.

    See … batshit crazy! This is why I don’t like to think about this show. I would just rather watch it and than forget about it :)

    Wait, I missed something, when did Aria tell Ezra about A? I don’t remember that happening. Am I to assume that it was when they were all at the police station.

    I have felt that Nate is playing Em! Really, he knows that she is in love with Mya, what is with him kissing her? Paige is a jelly freak!! She should know that Em is not at fault there…

    Noel is so in on this somehow, I just can’t put my finger on it..
    In agreeance with Paige being the one that killed Mya..
