Tricia, my mother, is really into PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. Here’s proof:

Tonight’s episode begins with Spencer, Emily and Aria in Spencer’s kitchen waiting for Hanna to arrive with the info Caleb has gotten off of the phone “A” dropped. They do get some good info off the flash drive but the most shocking thing for me is that Hanna tells Spencer she saw her mom coming in as Hanna was arriving. Might we see Spencer’s parents this week? Do you think they will know who she is or just think a stranger is in their house? This relationship concerns me way more than who killed that bitch Allison. Hanna begrudgingly gives Spencer the flash drive. She is still pretty pissed her man has to be involved and perhaps become a target. I’m with Hanna, why put the eye candy in danger? Lets be honest here, would any of us really care if we lost Toby? Before they watch they all have to put their two cents in. Hanna is indignant about the fact that she is having to LIE to Caleb, as if she doesn’t lie like it’s her job. Aria, who is usually not funny makes a funny, but she is serious. She says, “My money’s on Officer Garrett in the green house with the cellphone.” (She and Ezra must play Clue in their spare time.) Finally, “the boss” (Spencer) says lets just take a look. It starts with the same old same old— “I know you want to kiss…” This is their clue to start the head spinning and eyes popping out of the sockets. Why they have to do that, I don’t know they have heard Allison say that a zillion times already. But wait, there’s more. Allison’s bedroom pops up on the screen and creepy Ian is hiding a camera in her room. As the little liars are trying to figure out why he would be hiding a camera in her room, Garrett and Jenna walk in. The girls realize it is a meeting of the N.A.T club. Ian wants to know why Jason didn’t come and they say, “A six pack and some weed did him in.” Jenna wants to know why Ian has called an emergency meeting. Ian says he tried to get Allison to hand over “our videos” but she wasn’t going for it. Officer Garrett seems to have a little cop rage and tells Ian, “I knew you’d go too far and those videos would come back to bite us. That’s why I bailed on this messed up club.” Ian says, “Well, welcome back. Now we find them before that bitch shows back up.” The hunt begins. Garrett finds the box of Allison’s things that Jason gave Aria a while back. The tape ends there. So what have we and the little pretties learned? Well, we now know that Jenna was also a member of the N.A.T. club and that they all (minus Jason) met in Allison’s bedroom the night she was killed. We also know that Ian recorded the meeting and I for one, don’t think officer Garrett and Helen Keller know that. (I guess another lesson learned is that sometimes a six pack and a little weed might not be a bad idea, it got Jason out of the taped meeting.) Another thing, the Hastings must have a VERY long driveway because Hanna said she passed Spencer’s mom as she was coming in yet she has not made it to the house.  Probably waiting until Spencer leaves so she won’t have to make a half ass attempt to appear to care about her. They make my family look almost normal.   

Sometime later—Rosewood time is difficult to tell, no clocks, windows only when we need to see how bad the storm is. It’s like being in a casino but not nearly as fun. Spencer gets a text with a picture of Spencer and Toby in one of their oh-so-romantic hillbilly truck make out sessions.  It says “I warned you!” Just as she is showing it to Emily, Toby and the aforementioned gold truck pull up. That truck truly is a dream come true. I can’t wrap my mind around why they choose the truck over the no parent home, but that’s just me. Spencer had been trying to stay away from Toby for his own good but a force too strong to fight (likely, the gold truck) drew her back to him last week and the kiss made Toby think they were back together. He is not the brightest in the Lite Bright set. Wasn’t that a fun toy?  Toby calls, Spencer makes Emily answer and say Spencer can’t come to the phone. Toby is confused. Duh. He wants answers but Emily won’t give him any either.  The next thing we know all four liars are at SCHOOL, thats right school, not an actual classroom but they did bring books this time. Baby steps. They are sitting outside talking about how they all need to keep their loved ones safe and not letting them know all their secrets. They don’t even know all their secrets! It seems Rosewood is having a very mild winter no one seems cold or has on a coat.  I guess Aria is not concerned about Ezra’s safety because she is all upset because he wont talk to her or see her. Holden appears and Emily calls him Aria’s beard.  She precedes to explain to everyone that it means he’s gay and will go out with Aria but, not REALLY go out with her. Then they all try to decide if Holden is indeed gay. Spencer, Emily and Hanna say gay, Aria says no.  She is now determined to find out. She is probably thinking it will be good for her relationship with Mr. Fitz if he is. I like to call him Mr. Fitz sometimes just so we can remember how seedy it really is. How easily we forget when we see them together looking like Ken and Barbie on top of a wedding cake. Where was I? 

Caleb is still working on restoring the info from the phone. Looks like he had a school holiday because he is sitting at an outdoor restaurant, again winter time in Pennsylvania, working on it. He sees Garrett in the video and then looks up to see Garrett sitting at the table next to him.  He quickly leaves but Garrett stops him telling he had forgotten his keys. Caleb looks guilty and scared, while Garrett look smug. I wonder if he knows what Caleb is doing.  Please God don’t take Caleb away from us.  

The girls are now in Aria’s bedroom trying to decide their next move. Hanna wants to turn to box over to the police and stop looking for clues. As she picks up the doll from Allison’s box she sees there are notes stuck in it. “It’s my turn to torture you.” “You think you’re safe on the outside, but you’re not when I’m on the inside.” “Scared yet? you should be bitch!” And “Next time, it’ll be your face, not this pumpkin.” The girls have a flash back to Halloween. They remember when they got to Allison’s house after the party her porch had been trashed. A knife was in the pumpkin with a note. The girls wanted to know what is said but Allison wouldn’t tell them. She says it was just Jason’s beer buddies trying to be funny.  

Back to real time, they see that one of the notes was the note that was in the pumpkin with the knife——-in further review of the note they see it was signed by”A”. It was written on the back of an invitation to Noel’s Halloween party. They now know that “A” was after Allison before they became his/her/them’s target.  Spencer says they referring  to “A’ so I guess now, they think like the rest of us that “A” can’t be one person.   

It must be the next day but who can be sure? Anyway they are back at school this time inside. I doubt anyone will have a class but lets see.  Noel and Mona make a scene in the hall about their break up. Hanna finally decides to be her friend and try to make her feel better. They have their talk in the most private place of all the ladies rooms. They really should use a classroom for talks they are not used for anything else. Hanna and Mona decide they need a night out, who cares that it’s a school night, they plan to shut the place down.  hen I’m sure there will be a late night meeting with the other girls. We shall see. After Hanna and Mona leave the always-lurking Jenna comes out of one of the stalls. I thought she was away having eye surgery? She looks very pleased with herself… Just dreaming of ways to hurt people I’m sure. Such a nice girl.   

Finally, someone has taken my advice. Aria went to a classroom to make a private call to Ezra. She left him a voice mail asking him to meet her in Philly to talk face to face.  She says, “If you come it means that there’s still a chance for us and if not…” The voicemail cuts off. Ezra sees that she has called but doesn’t listen to the message. They both look so sad. This is not the time to call him Mr. Fitz. 

Remember the loose screw from the last episode? Looks like it was meant for Toby.  Before you get excited thinking, well we all know what we are thinking.  He only broke his arm. Here’s the funny part. Spencer’s mom found him and got him to the hospital. Of course we didn’t see her, but that’s Toby’s story. How lucky was he to fall the one day a year she is home? Guess who Toby’s doctor is?  Wren. That oversized mellon of his must not be as empty as I had thought because he picked up the vibes between Spencer and Dr. Wren pretty quick. Just as boy genius asked if she wants to tell him something about Wren she gets a text. I bet for once Spencer was happy “A” wanted to talk. It said “Almost got him! Toby won’t be so lucky next time.” Spencer calls the girls to tell them Toby will be OK.  YEA!! The girls are trying to decide if Jenna could have done this to Toby. Barbie (Aria) just can’t believe she would hurt her own stepbrother. Wake up Barbie! If she will sleep with him, there’s not much she won’t do. I know they are not real brother and sister but still—it’s creepy. Speaking of creepy, Toby wakes up to find Jenna standing over him in the hospital. She is telling him he has to stay away from Spencer and that Spencer is haunted. Really? I think you might be the haunted one.  She is rubbing his leg all creepy and sexy-like at the same time and talking about them being a family. It is wrong on a number of levels. 

Caleb is really pushing Hanna to tell him what is really going on.  He has figured out that the little liars are trying to figure out who killed Allison and he wants to know why if the murder has already been solved.  Hanna won’t tells him anything.  He tells her about his encounter with Officer Garrett at the cafe and she goes nuts.  She grabs the flash drive, throws it in the blender and hits blend.  I would like to know what brand of blender the Marins have because the one I have can’t crush ice much less destroy metal.  I am very impressed. Caleb is not happy with Hanna but not to worry as we now any smart computer guy always has a backup.   

Emily and Jenna have a run in at the hospital. After a few ugly words on both sides, Emily tells her she is lucky she doesn’t take that stick and… Jenna tells her to be careful of misplaced anger. She says they all should have left him alone because everyone that gets close to them gets hurt.  She almost sounds like she really cares about Toby. Emily wants to know if Jenna is threatening her and she says, “No, just stating a fact.” Girl is correct about that. I still can’t believe no one has asked her how the surgery went.  You would think they would want to know if she can see. She is hell on wheels blind, God only knows what she can do with eyes. On another note I think maybe she had some work done while she was away. Her skin looks really good. I have such a difficult time concentrating when she is on camera.  My mind goes all over the place like how does she do such a nice job with her make up and hair and how does she know if her clothes match.  Also, I’m pretty sure she drives sometimes and that can’t be good.  I have never been sure she is really blind. Emily, Spencer and Jenna have stopped by the hospital to visit Toby but guess who hasn’t. That’s right his parents. Rosewood parents certainly are not stepford parents.  They don’t even seem to know they have children.  Spencer has decided Jenna is right about her bringing danger to Toby and asked Emily to tell Toby that Spencer was seeing someone before they started dated and that he is back.  Emily tells Toby Spencer has decided to date the old boyfriend again. Toby doesn’t believe her and wants to know if it is true who it is. Since it is not true Emily just leaves.  Now I am feeling really sorry for Toby he looked pitiful in the hospital. His large head didn’t even look so large.   

Aria and Holden have a “date”. All of a sudden Aria’s parents are the police. Instead of Holden picking her up Ella took her to Philly to meet Holden. Aria asked Holden if he is gay, he says no he is just late. He leaves her alone to wait and hope that Ezra will come meet her under the clock. She and Holden agree to meet again at 11:00. Ezra is meeting with a student about a paper he has written and is not happy about the grade. They have an odd conversation about love and being realistic. When the student leaves he tells Ezra “Be bold.  The mighty forces will come to your aide”. Ezra finally listens to the message from Aria about meeting at 8:00 under the clock. Sad music is playing and we see Spencer sad looking out the window thinking about Toby then we see Aria waiting in the rain under the clock for Ezra. It all very sad. I might have cried a little.   

Hanna and her mom are having a heart to heart about keeping secrets from the ones you love.  Hanna wants to know if her mom ever lied to her father. Is that a real question? Then her mom, in my opinion, lies to Hanna by telling Hanna yes she lied to him twice. Really? Am the only one that doesn’t believe that? I watched Anderson last week, I saw the lying whisper. She says everyone lies at least once a day. Now that might have been her one for the day but I don’t believe Ashley only told two lies to the creep she was married to. Anyway Hanna seem to believe it and thats all that matters. Hanna leaves to go meet Mona for their night on the town. Before the fun can begin for Hanna and Mona they see Jenna and Noel having dinner together. Both  look upset about it, Hanna more than Mona which Mona can’t understand. She is quick to tell Hanna she is the one Noel dropped.  

Wren comes in to check on Toby he ask Wren if anything is going with Spencer. Wren says he kissed her when he was under the impression they were over. The next time we see Toby is packing to leave the hospital and looking very sad. I guess he is going to check himself out.  Aria is also looking heart broken sitting all alone in the rain luckily she is under cover so if Ezra shows up she will still look pretty.  FINALLY, she sees him.  He just leaves his car in the middle of the road, gets out and calls her name. It’s not in slow mo this time they just walk to each other with that look of love. Nice music in the back ground, but also kind of a sad song. They stand in the rain kissing, Aria better hope wherever Holden has been he also got soaking wet or she’s going to have some plaining to do to Ella. The long kiss finally ends and Aria and Ezra go to his car to talk and make out. They both want it to work but are not sure they can make it work.  

Caleb tells Spencer and Emily about Hanna destroying the flash drive but that he has a copy.  He want to work with them but they can’t tell Hanna and he wants some answer to his questions.  Good luck with that!!  Ella drives up to pick up Aria and Holden is no where to be found.  Just as Ella starts asking questions Holden runs up with desert for all of them.  He says sorry it took so long but Aria was off on her directions.  Saved by another good liar.  Ella seems pleased with Holden.  Holden looks pleased with himself.  What has he been up to?  I was like everyone else in thinking he was gay but he told Aria he wasn’t so what? He’s another mystery.  

Spencer told Emily and Aria she told Caleb as little as possible. She told him that Jenna’s trying to frame them for Allison’s murder and that Garrett was helping her and that Ian’s confession probably doesn’t tell the whole story.  They all feel bad about not telling Hanna Caleb is working with them. The girls are looking at the last of what Caleb was able to recover.  They see Ian telling Jenna and Garrett that he has been recording their meeting. He says “once you are member of the club you are always a member of the club.”  He also says “just making sure you’re in this as deep as I am”. Someone is coming up the stairs they all think it is Allison.  The tape ends there.  Emily is not sure she wants Caleb to keep trying to recover more but Spencer says he has to so it can finally be over. 

The girls see Toby drive up by the time they get down to his truck he is gone.  He has left the keys and a note for Spencer.  Emily asks what it says and all she says is he is gone.  Next we see the black gloves one taking down two pictures of Aria and Ezra he/she cuts Ezra out of the pictures and sets them on fire.  Why Ezra?  What did he do?  Why not Caleb?  Still lots of questions, but we did get some answers this week.  

Until next week….Got a secret, can you keep it?
