Plot: Whatever. No, okay — although this felt like filler it had some important nuggets: Nobody except her beard, Scraggle, knows Aria and Ezra are still hooking up. Aria’s dad tries to get Ezra “promoted” to a campus in another city, on the same night Ezra had to bag on Aria so she and Scraggle spent the entire night playing air hockey (and bonding, obvs). She sees a bruise on his body but he blows it off. Spencer is sad-faced about Toby being gone. Hanna thinks her friends all hate her, when really, they’re all huddling with Caleb to pick apart A’s cell phone behind Hanna’s back (because she wants Caleb to stop, to protect him). When A threatens to expose Hanna’s mom’s bank theft if Caleb doesn’t stop digging around on the cell phone, Hanna smells a rat, and eventually Spencer confesses. They make up, but not before a tearful Hanna tells Caleb about her mother and thus why “the person who’s phone you’re working on” is blackmailing her. Emily’s mom visits and they go to dinner with Maya, who acts like a jackass; apparently she’s pissed that Emily’s mother got her sent to reform camp for pot, or whatever, and Emily is jealous that Maya dated a guy because she feels like now she’s competing against twice the dating pool. They make up, exchange “I love you”s, and then ostensibly have the sex. Meanwhile, Hanna’s bitchy stepsister arrives in Rosewood, and they have declared a truce that Hanna does not trust. Spencer recognizes her from an old camp photo — I thought it was going to be that she had 800 lbs and several different noses, but no, she just got bug bites, or something. She shows Hanna, and tells Stepsister that if she doesn’t lay off Hanna then that photo will go viral. Instead, A snaps a picture of Stepsister naked in the school locker room and sends it to everyone in Hanna’s address book, so now everyone thinks Hanna struck the first blow. Sucks to be poor ol’ Hanna. Oh, and Caleb gets harassed by Blind Jenna’s cop boyfriend, just… because. Why do people hang out with Jenna? She’s so unpleasant. She makes you threaten people and ropes you into schemes. She must be dynamite in the sack.

God, I love this stupid show.
I wish that just once they’d let Emily wear something cracked out. I get that she’s the sporty one, but where’s her fascinator?
as soon as i saw Aria’s neon earrings i though of u guys:)
You and me both!
Can we please figure out why, when Aria is fully wearing a Cosby-sweater-poncho, and Hanna’s bra is on display, the thing they NOTICE is a sliver of Spencer’s undershirt?! Shouldn’t addressing one of the other two outfits be PRIORITY?!
The poor young lady in photo six is grabbing her behind to keep from laughing her ass off at that truly ungodly poncho.
How much do you want to bet that Scraggle is in a Fight Club? If you said that in the slides, then you were right…I should read them before I comment.
Interesting theory…. I like!
I can’t get enough of this show! I actually feel bad for Emily because she doesn’t get to wear the awesomely crazy wackiness the other liars do just because she’s the sporty one! And, I loved Aria’s fascinator! LOVED IT!!!
What I constantly wonder about this show is why the girls are sometimes dressed for entirely different seasons? Hanna is wearing the unflattering red SUMMER dress with no sleeves or shoulders, and Aria’s wrapped up in Grandma’s sweater like it’s winter.
This week Aria was in a summer dress (with the yellow submarine shoes), and everyone else had long sleeves or jackets. So weird.
Anyway, love the show, and I’m so glad y’all are into it too! I’ll refrain from going on about how ridiculous it was that Aria’s parents didn’t have Ezra hauled off to jail.
When I saw Spencer’s hat, I immediately thought of Marissa Cooper’s ugly hat from The OC’s second season — the one with the big green bow on the back topping off an outfit perfectly suited for an equestrian competition.
