Pretty Little Liars Recap: What Lies Beneath


Spencer receives a message on her email from Noel with security footage from outside of his cabin the night Maya was murdered. I don’t know why he blocked his email considering the messages in the email were “is this what you were looking for?” and “stay out of my locker”. I guess Spencer breaks into a lot of people’s lockers or something. Which by the way she was realllll crafty using her nail file to open it which makes me even more suspicious of her. I’ve always suspected she was the one that was betraying everyone because she hasn’t really lost anything in this whole process. Aria and Ella are walking home after yoga and discussing Zack when Aria reveals that he isn’t dating anyone but Ella and that he really likes her. Aria tells Ella not to string him along if she really likes him. Hanna and Emily call Wren over to help stitch up dumb dumb’s self-inflicted stab wound and he takes the opportunity to hit on Hanna some more by making her dinner and then leaning in for like 20 minutes while she rests her leg. Eventually the awkwardness of having Wren leaning into her face propels her to send him away but thank him for saving her life.


Mint? Gum? Anything?

Emily walks home to see Nate sitting on her porch like a creep in the night. He apologizes for earlier and confesses that he can’t get over Maya’s death and that it has affected him deeply. Funny because if you were that close how come Emily had no idea who you were? Emily shows him Maya’s bag and he starts breaking down which leads him and Emily to start making out. I knew she wasn’t gay, she was just being a high school girl. Paige, of course, walks up to see this but Emily doesn’t notice so she slips away and throws out the dinner she brought. She is totally going to snap on Emily again…do not go near the pool with her girl, you in danger! Paige texts Emily that she is ill and won’t make the movie date and the next day at swim practice, Emily asks how she is feeling. Paige tells her she just felt sick to her stomach all of a sudden and gives her a chance to confess what happened but before Emily can, the coach calls them to the pool and Paige walks away. Aria and Ezra are watching some old movie when he decides to call it a night with her. Aria apologizes for pushing him to reveal his past when he drops the bomb that he has found Maggie. Instead of asking the obvious question of DOES SHE HAVE A CHILD…she asks if Ezra has called her yet but he says no. Seriously are they against finding out the truth because they ask the wrong questions all the damn time. 


Em, you in danger girl!

    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..
