"Watch me not be Spencer Hastings anymore"
Pretty Little Liars weaves characters in and out of episodes, which makes it hard to keep track of whose good and whose bad. Well, actually its not that difficult because every character thats ever been put on the show has some kind of ulterior motive and presents us with a moment that makes us doubt their every move. That was the case this week as we delved further into the story of CeCe, Ali, Wilden and the summer that murdered Ali. Although aside from that storyline, nothing really moved forward this week. No questions were answered. Wilden wasn't confronted. Toby is still missing or just doing the dirty work without being seen. Ezra hasn't returned from his trip to meet the son he never knew he had. Spencer still hasn't told the girls Toby is A. Everything just kind of moved in slow motion setting the scene up the coming weeks. 
We always knew Wilden had a connection to Ali. We knew that he was very immersed in her murder case and tried pinning the murder on the girls. Well maybe the reason he was trying to blame the girls for everything was because he was covering up for something he did. We didn't know that at the time, but from recent discoveries, the idea that Ali was pregnant with Wilden's child seems very probable. But aside from Wilden, CeCe plays a huge role in Ali's dissapearance. What makes her seem very suspicious in this episode is when Emily asked if she knew about Wilden being with them in the summer she said she didn't know of him, which is clearly a lie since they are all in a picture together. As you may recall, there was also that one flashback that she had where Ali was crying saying that she was late. This was also probably referring to her and Wilden's relationship. But can any of these accusations be proved now? Do they even matter? Could Wilden have killed Alison for being knocked up? Could CeCe have been in love with Wilden and killed Ali cause she was jealous. Than theres the question of why she wanted to get so close to Aria. She asked her to come and shoot some footage for her website, inquired about her boyfriend and than basically tried pushing Aria to go for the younger brother. Whats in it for her? She left them alone and clearly lied about getting towed, but why? Where was she and what was she doing? Was she the one that was responsible for Jason's elevator accident? Did she know that they were onto Wilden? And lastly the question on everyones mind. If Alison is really dead, is CeCe the girl in the red cloak calling all the shots???
For quite sometime fans were convinced that Jason might have been part of the A team. He's not, but that doesn't mean he isn't a target. As a concerned brother trying to find out what happened to his sister, Jason has made allies with all the wrong people for information. He's been close to Mona to find out who dug up his sisters body since she's the only one who knows (probably cause she did it.) But for someone to get kidnapped from a hospital after getting brutally injured in a elevator fall. While that whole event seems pretty unlikely, it does make you wonder who could have kidnapped him. Mona wouldn't have enough strength to just pick up some guy and rush him out of the hospital. Could Jason have done this willingly? But that would mean that he wanted to disappear from the hospital. So coming full circle, maybe he is part of the A team.
Aria is in for some trouble. Ezra has been missing from the picture for quite some time now as he's getting to know his son and possibly snuggling up to his high school lover and Aria's been spending some quality time with little Fitz. And by little Fitz, I mean his younger brother whose got a kind of delinquent side to him. Than bam, they end up kissing. We all knew it was going to happen, but in a way I felt sort of betrayed. Betrayed for Ezra, who clearly doesn't deserve this at a time when he's going through so much. See, this is why you don't date girls in high school. How will this affect the Ezria relationship? Can we basically say this is their ending and she will start dating someone her own age?
Quite frankly, the most enticing character right now is Spencer, whose slowly falling into the role of Mona. I mean, she's not technically crazy in the psychotic sense, but she's mentally unstable. Who could blame her though? She was perfect all her life, down to the nitty gritty. Than this bomb is dropped on her. Her friends turn their back on her. Mona's trying to sabotage her. And after everything that happened with Mona, people are actually taking her side. It just shows you how gullible people can be or how manipulative Mona can be. She's getting exactly what she wants though and I wouldn't be surprised if Spence ended up in Radley pretty soon. I think telling the girls that Toby is part of the A team would be really beneficial as they might be a good crutch for her to lean, while allowing her to keep her sanity. Also, it was great for Melissa to show up for one episode. We almost forgot she had a sister.
Lastly, Hannah's a sweet girl and despite everything that has happened in her life with A she still gives people the benefit of the doubt. What she wanted was to do a good thing. She wanted to hook Caleb back up with his father. Every boy needs a father, And while the whole ordeal looked promising, like I said every character has a flaw. Calebs "uncle" seems to have a sticky hand. Stealing from the church is the lowest of the low, but if he's capable of that, than what else is he capable of. Did he manipulate Hannah into feeling sorry for him because he wanted to build a relationship with Caleb to get some of the mothers money? Whats his reasoning for needing to be in his sons life?
- Hannah: I think people would know if Spencer was here. They'd run for cover.
- Aria: And give her a riddle. She needs to use that part of her brain again.
- A: If you rat out T, I take down on of your 3. A
- Spencer: Yeah I was just about to put out a new doormat that say go away.
- Spencer: But everything in life is a risk and you like to gamble.
- Hannah: If I stand up again its to pee and I'd rather do that in my pants than leave you two alone.
- Uncle: Classy girl.
- Caleb: Too proud.
- Emily: Who do you think would do something like that?
- Jason: Alison.
- Aria: I'm guessing CeCe made a few stains herself. Ok that came out wrong.
