Pretty Little Liars- Out of Sight Out of Mind

"Someone close to you will pay for your loose lips."
Oh how the roles have shifted. Not so long we saw Mona in the looney-bin, but now the breakup with Toby and the information that he's dead, has taken a huge toll on Spencer. Such a big toll that by the end of the episode, we couldn't even recognize her as the camera showed a girl who was physically there, but mentally was already on a different planet. Sometimes A's threats are irrational and nothing to worry about, but this threat "someone will pay for your loose lips," really meant what it said. The reason Spencer lost it was because she's mainly the reason that Toby is dead. 


Lets take this back a little. Was Toby dead before or after Emily had started looking for him?? Emily had a point that the Toby they knew would never do such things. So what was the deal with Toby being A? Could he actually be alive. All we saw was his tattoo, but Spencer never saw his face. Also, why would A kill Toby? Was Toby only working for A because he wanted to keep the girls and Spencer safe? If he was really loyal to the A team, than A would not kill one of his own right? If he would that means everyone is doomed. And what was up with Mona wandering off into the woods leading Spencer to his body? Did she know that Toby was dead? Did she get a text and find out her partner in crime was no more and she went to check out the scene? What does Mona know that we don't and why is she targeting Spencer?? 

Honestly all this episode did is raise so many questions. Why did A target Emily and drag her out to old abandoned street were Toby used to work, where she waited 3 hours only to see a girl in a red coat walk into the factory. When she went in there she saw the same guy that she saw snooping around Toby's house. He knew her name and was definitely a 10 on the creepy scale. Who is the guy? Why does he know more than he's leading on? Why is this place significant? Who broke Emily's window and left her Toby's obituary?? What game is A really playing. But the better question is, while this was happening, Spencer was chasing Mona in some dark forest. So who was the person harassing Emily? Whose the other A? When the show starts getting innocent casualties just for fun, thats when things get really unfortunate. There is no reason why any game should become so dangerous. Maybe the person Emily was looking for in her mothers office (which would not be so easy by the way). The name that Toby used to go by, is actually his co-worker. But who is the blonde girl with the red coat? She's becoming less and less secretive. But is she really there? Everyone denies seeing her, except all the girls, but they can't all be hallucinating can they??


Hannah and her mother are in some deep stuff, thats for sure. A knows all, even if the cops don't. First of all we're left with the question, is Wilden dead or alive? Was Ashley just seeing things on the street or was her really there? But why would he just abandon his own car like that, with a recording of what happened. How did A get its hands on the car and get it into Hannah's garage as blackmail. And did no one see them drive that car out of Rosewood to a random lake, where they tried sinking the car. Just because the secrets under water doesn't mean its gone for good. Because of course, some random fisherman is going to be fishing in the pond and he's going to stumble upon the car and they will dig it up and find Hannah and Aria's finger prints and it will be another colossal disaster. 

Aria does not need any more disasters in her life. Its bad enough that her ex teacher boyfriend now has a kid. That kid and his mother (Ezra's girlfriend Maggie) are moving to Rosewood so he can be closer to the kid. Aria is like almost as old as the kid, trying to play against the mother of this guys kid. She's not winning either. She babysat the kid and ended up having to rush him to the hospital for stitches and than she got kicked out of the room because she wasn't family. Talk about harsh life. So of course Ezra won't want her around him and his kid if he finds out she had something to do with sinking a police car that belongs to a missing officer thats leading the case of Alison. If that doesn't spell break up, I don't know what does. Although I will admit that seeing the way Aria and Ezra's kid bonded, was really special and I don't see a problem with throwing Maggie out of the picture to form a cute little Fitz family. 

So many people are becoming suspects in the killings and even more people are becoming potential members of the A team. The show is twisting in such circles, that sometimes I can't even tell if the liars are all telling the truth. What worries me though is where Spencer's parents are throughout all of this and why they aren't helping her. Even when she got lost in the woods, why didn't her friends get worried when she wasn't there all night and into the morning. How could they not look for her, especially in that fragile of a state. Why is Mona the only one that knows she's in some creepy psych ward and why is she holding out the information from everyone. Did Mona plan it this way? Because it sure looks that way. She wanted her vengeance on Spencer and she got it. She tore the girl apart from head to toe and unfortunately, unlike Mona, Spencer isn't acting. I am glad to say that I feel the liars are making more progress connecting the whole Toby, Mona and the psychologist together. Obviously, the people they think are playing on their team, really aren't. No pun intended.
