Pretty Little Liars- The Blond Leading the Blind

"Mmm. I think it's best if you don't know."
Well it wouldn't be a romantic movie scene if there wasn't a rain kiss right? And the fact that Ezra could just leave his car and park in the middle of the street and go kiss Aria while nobody honks could really happen huh? Yet the story line is so juicy and forbidden that like a little girl I sat there contemplating if he would actually man up and go save this relationship or if he would hide in his office forever. Let's just say Ezra won't be getting a bitching from me tonight. See sometimes guys don't understand the meaning of romance. Guys think in white and black and girls, we always see the option of gray. Without a little push from someone else, guys might never be able to realize that they might just loose what's in front of them. But lets not forget this happiness is only temporary. Just wait until A decides to screw with them. In the end, A made it clear that the partners are not safe at all. It wont be long before all of them start disappearing like Toby did.
Which truthfully puts the girls in the hardest position. Do you lie to the one you love to protect them? Do you hurt them and let them go? Do you spare their feelings and let them go? Do you tell them what's going on and figure either way their going to get hurt? It truly is the most effed up decision one could be placed in. Spencer was the first victim to face that decision head on. After A made sure that Toby got hurt, minimally but still we don't know the extremes A is willing to go too, Spencer was forced to let go of Toby in the only way she could think of-- make Emily lie to him and tell him that Spencer fell for someone else. As heartbreaking as it was to watch that, I wish the writers would have let us feel a little bit more emotion by revealing what he wrote in that letter. And why has Ren returned?   Going off my instincts writers don't usually bring a character unless he/she is about to involved in a major story line.
This little set up that Aria and Holden have going seems to be working out extremely well. The only speculations I have is what the hell is Holden up too? If he isn't gay (Ha Ha) than what could he possibly be sneaking off to do? Trust me on this one though, we will find out soon enough. A never fails to surprise us and this is one secret that can get Aria and Ezra in way too much trouble. Its an opportunity I'm sure A will not pass up. 
The sketchiest part of the episode was the fact that the liars went behind Hannah's back to try to get what was on that phone. Yeah we all want answers, I think the viewers more so than the liars, but to lie to your friend about it while she's doing everything in her power to keep her boyfriend safe.. Low. Truthfully we know A doesn't mess around. We saw what he was capable of doing to Toby and that was just a warning. Maybe seeing Caleb get hurt means nothing to Spencer but it means everything to Hannah and when she finds out she's going to be furious that her trust was broken. She's already in a messed up situation because Caleb probably knows more about the situation than any of the other parents ( I mean lets face it Ezra and Maya are kind of clueless) which means that Caleb wants answers, he wants to know, and he wants to help. There might not be any way of saving him without breaking the relationship up, but at least spare him his life. This isn't his battle to fight.
After an episode where I thought we would finally get some answers were still being dragged around in a vicious circle, while somehow being entertained. We still don't know who the hell A is. We still don't know what Garrets deal is. I cant seem to fathom how the hell Jenna knows that Spencer is around her. No one knows what happened the night Ali died. And I for sure as hell don't understand what the hell Noel Kahn is up to and why he dropped Mona on her ass to date Jenna. What is this alliance they all have going? What was in that box? All we know for sure is that whoever A is, is the same person that was after Alison and probably the same person that killed Ali. The reference to the halloween episode really didn't give away much since my Sherlock Holmes skills have already pieced all of this together, yet I still don't know anything..... What if A is also threatening and screwing with Garett and Jenna? Wouldn't that be something.
