"You're not crazy. You're as sane as I am."
This weeks episode focused on Spencer's mental health, which didn't give the other girls much screen time, and didn't move the story much for next weeks season finale. What we do know is that Spencer does not have amnesia... Thank god. For a brief moment, she wanted to become someone other than Spencer Hastings and based on the things that have happened to her lately, who could blame her. Ultimately, Spencer realized that she was the weakest link of the four. She was the one who broke the circle and was unreliable to her friends. A has really pushed all of the liars' buttons, but with Spencer, A pushed mountains. The only thing that we know from this episode is that Mona has the answers to most of the questions that the liars (and us, the viewers) have because possesses most of Ali's diaries. One thing that we can take Mona's word for is that Ali wasn't really pregnant, which means we can cross Wilden off our suspect list. Or can we?
After Ashley fled town, er I mean, went to a promotion meeting in New York, Wilden took his chance at Hannah by throwing her a bone. If Hannah returned his car, he would disappear from her life and leave Ashley alone. Well, its not that easy now that the car is under water. The writers leave little clues that could possibly indicate that Wilden already knows where his car is. For example, he mentioned he went away fishing. The last scene in last weeks episode showed someone fishing in the little lake/pond where Aria and Hannah drowned his car. Also, what happened to him the night of the accident? Did he just get up, leave his car, pop in a cab and go fishing? I highly doubt it. He left his car for a reason. Either way, Ashley might be out of town, but A still has the evidence from the camera that was in the car. And if things aren't bad enough for Ashley, I think Ted is suspecting that Ashley has some beef with the Rosewood PD as he questioned her about leaving because of some reason other than the promotion. What will happen when the reverend gets involved? Will Wilden take matters into his own hands because he can't get his car? Hannah is literally taking on like 3 A battles at once.
Not much movement on the Aria front, except that Aria cannot keep herself from fibbing. First she lied to her parents about Ezra and his kid. Than she asked them for help by seeing if could help Ezra find a job. Than eventually when she was called into the principals office where she denied her relationship with Ezra to the principal, to ensure that Ezra got a fair chance at getting the substitute teaching job. Sure, her heart was in the right place but hasn't she learned by now that secrets get out, especially when A is involved and when Mona is in the same class. After making their relationship exclusive, they will have to go into hiding again. How long do you think that will make their relationship last? The guy has a kid now. I'm sure he doesn't need to stigma of dating one of his students. I know Rosewood is small but isn't there any other high school in the area. Or even one outside of town?? Anything but Aria's school? How is she going to take her teacher to prom? And to top it all off, her parents are helping Ezra with the hopes of pushing him back to Maggie and having Aria's heart broken. Wicked people.
Emily didn't really play a major part in this weeks episode, aside from being a mediator between the liars and Dr. Sullivan. Well, she did meet Missy Franklin, which might have been the writers way of introducing a key player into the picture, but it really just looked like Shauna's attempt at trying to break up Emily and Paige for her own selfish reasons and trying to hook these two up. Either way, I'm not at all invested in any of Emily's relationships because to me its like she's single anyways.
Doesn't Dr. Sullivan always comes into the picture at such suspicious times though? Is there really only one psychiatrist that could be called to analyze the situation? Is she working for the A team? Did Mona tip her off to come to Radley and analyze Spencer? I mean, Mona was the person who brought Spence to Radley, or at least knew she was there. Spencer was placed in her old room. Than Mona came to visit. In normal cases I would think its a coincidence, but on this show, it never is. Mona has had this planned for quite some time. But who is the mastermind behind it all? Is it Mona? Is she just blackmailing people into doing things for her?? And finally, is Toby alive? The writers tried to convince us that he was dead, but we never really saw his face. Now their questioning the validity of what Spencer really saw that night? Could it be that she was really just seeing things or did she see the body that may or may not have been Toby's? We won't know until the cops actually find that body or Toby's family reports him missing. Which brings me to Jenna? Where the hell is Jenna in all of this??
As always,, so many unanswered questions from tonights episode. Spencer's flashback to church with Alison revealed some rather interesting dialouge. In short, Ali referred to the diaries as something she's writing for the girls to navigate through when she's dead. Did Ali plan on dying? Was she getting threats and she wanted the girls to know whats up after someone killed her? Or did she fake her own death and is still the mastermind behind everything? We find out who the girl in the red coat is next week (promo pictures) but what happens when it really is Ali???
Secondly, who is Eddie Lamb? He's clearly Toby's secret identity. The real Eddie is someone who knew Toby when he was little because his mom was admitted into Radley. He basically implied that through the faulty system of Radley people were able to sneak in and sneak out and use others passes and stuff like that. Did he give Toby his pass? He also mentioned that whomever was corrupting the system at Radley was actually one of the employee's. Of course, Dr. Sullivan looks suspicious, as mentioned above, but lets realize that the person that was on staff the whole time while Mona was locked up, was involved in Spencer, Hannah and Emily's lives, and appeared the minute Mona called him about Spence was Wren!!!! He had access to the psych-ward, to Mona, to the girls, he very well could be part of the A team. Memorable Quotes
