Plot: I have no idea anymore WHAT, exactly, the girls’ big secret is that A is using to keep them silent. But the mysterious A — they should rule out anyone who has a job, by the way, because A has plenty of time to watch them 24/7 and make evil plots AND perfectly time text messages — is trying to ruin the girls’ relationships for some reason (to keep them under his/her thrall?); thus, when A finds out Spencer slipped up and made out with Toby, A knocks down Toby’s scaffolding and sends him to the hospital with a broken arm, so Spencer makes Emily lie that Spencer has another boyfriend and thus Toby leaves town. But gives her the keys to his truck. THAT is an amicable breakup. Hanna, whose boyfriend Caleb is hacking into A’s recovered cell phone, doesn’t want to tell him why he’s doing it so that it keeps him safe, and thus they are frowny all the time. Caleb decrypts some cell phone video of various players in the Alison murder — Blind Jenna, her cop boyfriend, and creepy dead Ian — searching Alison’s room for something and then being about to get caught by Alison the night Alison died. So the girls minus Hanna told Caleb — behind Hanna’s back — just enough to get him to keep decrypting. Emily has no story because her significant other is only a very occasional guest star. Aria uses her old friend Scraggle (I have no idea what his name is) as a beard for her attempt to meet up with Ezra, who tries to stay away, but gets the nonsense knocked back into him by a student who blah-blah-blahs about love and courage, so they make out in the rain and then decide to sneak around with each other. Does anyone know when Aria turns eighteen? Because maybe they could just wait for her birthday. I swear, this show had better celebrate that day with a “FINALLY YOUR BOYFRIEND IS SAFE FROM THE LAW” banner.

Fug the Show: Pretty Little Liars, episode 2-19
They should have called this episode “Aria’s Unspeakable Poncho.” It will make the groundhog run back down his hole for sure. But before we get to that, we have Aria’s Hilarious Earrings and Hanna’s Mad-Crazy Unflattering Red Thing. So let’s do this.
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.
