I don’t know about you all, but last night’s Pretty Little Liars left me a little… blah. Bear with me…
First up is the Emily and Paige issue, which is getting a huge “Who Cares?” from this spectator. After Paige tried to drown Emily last week, I had already written her off as a psycho in a leotard who took her school’s mascot, which is a shark, too damn seriously. Now, Paige is in pain emotionally and Emily (miraculously) finds it in her heart to forgive her former tormentor. I could’ve sworn I’ve read this same plot in a Sweet Valley High novel somewhere. Do not judge me.
Now that Emily’s secret is out and shipped off, she rarely has anything left to do. I hope they aren’t trying to pair her up with Paige, because I just don’t see the potential there.
Next up is Hanna and Aria’s side stories, which are coincidentally connected by A’s meddling in their personal affairs. Aria finally found out that her parents are “having an affair with each other,” which is pretty damn pointless. I understand Ella’s reasoning of not gettting the kids hopes up by telling them now and later realizing that they are just indulging in carnal desires. However, it’s pretty damn apparent that they are ready to smooth out that hill of a bump in their marriage and keep it going to the early morning. With that said, it’s sad to see the Ashley/Byron relationship not even get a lift off after all the hard work put behind it.
On Hanna’s side of the equation, her seemingly growing attraction to Caleb is a bit much for me. Are we supposed to forget about Sean and Lucas so soon? Hanna already couldn’t handle those two, now she has a third guy to juggle? Someone’s in for a nasty spill in the boy department.
Just as Hanna was almost in the clear about sending Ella to the museum Aria and Ezra were also attending, A rears their ugly unknown head and unleashed a hell of a grenade on Aria. This friendship will be on the rocks for awhile, but will the spat also make Spencer and Emily chose sides? If so, A’s plan will be a slam dunk.
Spencer handled most of the mystery stuff this week, but she really didn’t find out anything worth gagging over. Toby seems like he has the pull of a vampire, which can only explain Spencer’s sudden need to drool over all things Toby. At least she got a clue out of him concerning Jenna, which I’m dying to know what it entails.
Then there is the whole Ian thing. The guy almost exposed himself as being fishy when he kept insisting Spencer wanted to quit the rugby team. He was perspiring guilt from his pores to the point that he reeked of B.S. Too bad Melissa’s perfect little nose is not fine tuned in such matters, because she has no clue that her husband and father of her unborn child (gasp!) is a messy vermin in a J. Crew ensemble. Tsk Tsk, Melissa. Use that Ivy League brain of yours for once, will ya?
So what did you guys think of this week’s episode? Doesn’t next week’s installment look like we might need to invest in oxygen tanks to make it through the night?
