Pretty Little Liars- If these dolls could talk

"But heres the good news, you're getting warmer.."

Just ONE week left until we find out who A is. In the past few weeks the show has really picked up momentum in support of the spring season finale and for good reason. A doll repair shop mixed with A manipulation is just what the show needed to spice things up. Throw in a "might be psychic" 9-year-old and we have the makings of a horror movie. But seriously, this weeks episode offered up a lot of information and while each character can definitely be A, each character also has an alibi. Lets start off with what I think was the most crucial part of the episode... Jenna.


So Jenna really can see, but has she been faking it all along or did the operation really work miracles? I mean from what I remember she only got an operation on one eye and I'm sure she would like to see out of both, right? Does this mean that she was able to see the whole time? This would explain why she can always "sense" whose around her but what is she up to with her mischievous plotting? Its obvious she's not A... At least I don't think so. No one would be crazy enough to get themselves stranded in a burning house for the sake of a prank but than again it makes all the sense in the world because we start to eliminate her from the equation. When she becomes the target she stops being a threat. But why is she suddenly apologizing to the girls and trying to make peace. She can try to throw everyone off her trail but we know a rat when we see one. Her plan to take care of Garrett was also executed brilliantly and while she doesn't know it, it put a strain on the Spenser/ Melissa relationship and quite possibly put the liars in a lot of danger.


Melissa is candidate number 2 and the odds of her being A are really the strongest. She hated Alison, she had a motive for killing her and now she is dating Garrett? Assumption confirmation that the baby really is Garett's. All we know is that Melissa, Garett and Jenna have all had an alliance at some point throughout the show. The liars tried really hard to prove that Melissa was in fact A this week, offering up some comical Mona and Caleb action since that's just what A wanted isn't it-- to have Mona split up the happy couple? So when Melissa saw them making out and the girls got a text right after it, its a done deal right? Melissa is A. Wrong!!! Maybe the plan would have been better executed if they tested A by having Melissa by Spencer's side the whole time. That way if they got a text its guaranteed that it couldn't be Melissa..... Unless she's working with someone else.... Seems that this job is getting trickier and trickier to act out alone, especially for a pregnant woman but with the help of a cop its manageable.


Which brings us back to that creepy ass dollhouse, a setting throughout most of the episode. It was a little unclear as to why the lady didn't want the tell the girls anything and she kept shushing up her son. He's the one who told us that there was a brunette girl and a guy coming in to find out what Ali was up to. The ending made it fairly clear though, of course A had already gotten to the doll house owner and was paying her off to mess with the girls minds. Does that mean that the little boy we are suppose to believe is psychic is really getting paid in lollipops to tell the girls what they want to hear? He knew exactly how Alison died and he pretty much had all the answers the girls were looking for. Was it done to throw them off their game or does he really want to help the girls in spite of A.The scene in the cupboard with the doll that looked like Alison on the night of her murder was easily the creepiest scene of Pretty Little Liars to date. If that doesn't warn the girls that they should stay away from freaky abandoned businesses, they really will end up like Alison.


Lastly, does anybody else think that maybe Alison is actually alive? Spencer is the third girl to have a dream that seems so real its as if Ali was sitting right next to them. First it was Hannah in the hospital and when she woke up she saw a clue that indicated the dream was actually reality, than Emily had one and this time Spencer did as well and when she woke up the door was open, the antibiotics were on the table and the smell of Ali still lingered behind. What if she really is just playing a cruel joke on the girls or worse, she faked her own death just to get away from A's radar? 
And as some couples help each other out in time of need other couples fall apart regardless of how hard they fight to stay toghether. It seems that Aria's and Ezra's relationship has come to an end. As Aria strained her relationship with her family, Ezra found out he got fired from the college. The only way to get his life back on track now is to leave Rosewood and start over new and that of course means without Aria. Both of them think that this is Byron's doing but what if this really is all because of A? Do you guys think that after the comment Aria made to her parents they would really take this all a step forward and have Ezra fired? At least the break up was more physical than emotional. And I will go on a crazy tangent and thrown in a "what if" storyline right here: What if Aria got pregnant with Ezra's child because last nights action. Took the attention off of A for a little there didn't I? Good!!! I mean after next week, the show has to bring in some more drama right?
