I don’t know if this weeks episode can top Allison’s lovely low key tribute fashion show—I’m still having nightmares about her turning into the devil before my eyes. It seems Emily’s mother couldn’t get back to that mean controlling husband of hers fast enough, I’m sure she has already had a few good scoldings and maybe a slap or two from him. Good riddance is all I have to say. Emily has moved in with the Marin family. Our four little pretties are having their morning coffee in the Marin kitchen discussing the sleeping arrangements.  Emily was to have her own room but due to something about the pipes she is going to share Hanna’s room. When Spencer and Aria hear this they do the crazy eye thing again. Hanna says it will be fun just like a slumber party, crazy eyes again.  What? Do they think Hanna will become a lesbian just because one is in the room?  I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works, we shall see.

They are concerned that they have not heard back from Officer McCreepy about Ian’s messenger and the $10,000.00. They all agree they brought him into this mess and they will just have to trust him. I am screaming “NO NO Nanette” you can’t trust that slime ball and they continue on as if they can’t hear me. Meanwhile, my dogs are sure they have done something wrong.  The pretties are realizing that all the things “A” has been doing are not to make them look like bitches but to keep them quiet.  Why?  Aria would like to know. Finally Emily says what everyone else on the planet has already been thinking, because maybe “A” killed Allison. Don’t let anyone tell you that four pretty little heads aren’t better than one. Thoughtful as always “A” has sent a “Welcome To Your New Home Basket” to Emily. The card reads “What fun! Two little liars under one roof, you’re making it so easy.” My mouth is watering and I am desperately trying to will some of the goodies out of the basket and into my hands but Hanna, previous connoisseur of all things fattening, tosses it in the trash.  She will be regretting that later and will be digging though the trash for a tasty morsel.  I speak from experience on this point.  

The Montgomery”s are having their first dinner party since Mommy Dearest moved back in. Aria is choosing between two cocktail dresses, mom says just a few people nothing fancy. I gather from this conversation Aria doesn’t know who’s on the guess list, also guessing she will dress for dinner at the Ritz’s and not the sweats I would wear. When she finds out Ezra has been invited she tries to convince him not to come, he thinks it might be a good time to clue the family into the fact that they’re a couple. She doesn’t seem like she wants to tell people now. Um…make up your mind my little pretty. And I think as Ezra is talking all she’s hearing is blah blah blah because  she had visions of Jason dancing in her head. I’m thinking once the thrill of breaking all the rules ended Ezra’s not exciting enough for Aria. Maybe she’s more like brother Mike than we had thought. Aria has just learned her mom invited Jason to the dinner party. Oh, what a tangled web. Fingers crossed that her placed card in between Ezra and Jason.  

Spencer is all giddy because her father has hired Toby to do some weeding and other crap on their property. I guess she thinks hiring freak boy to do manual labor is the first step to welcoming him into the family. Probably not going to happen Spencer. While working, Toby digs up a part of a hockey stick. Spencer’s dad just happens to walk up at the very moment Toby unearths it.  What luck. Spencer’s cold, dead-inside father grabs it from Toby saying it is nothing to worry about.  Toby, the bright bulb that he is, isn’t buying it. He can’t wait to tell Spencer. As he is telling Spencer all about it she has a flashback of Allison and Jason having a fight with what could be the same hockey stick. Spencer tells Aria and they remember the hockey stick was in Allison’s bedroom the summer she was killed. Why, they ponder would anyone bury it? It must be the murder weapon.  Mr. Hastings asked Toby not to tell Spencer about the hockey stick, Toby tells him he has already told her. What now? The first thing I can think of is get home as fast as I can start a rip rowing fire and burn that sucker and that is just what he did. Great minds. One problem, that nosey Spencer was home. She tried to take it from him saying, “It could be evidence.” You think Sherlock? Poppa bear says, “We don’t need more evidence now that Ian Thomas in in a grave I paid for.”  Her throws it in the fire and Spencer watches it burn.  

Meanwhile the guests are arriving for the Montgomery’s dinner party.  A few people we don’t know or care to know show up. Then Ezra arrives bearing gifts— flowers for Ella and the Scotch Byron loves. He could have used that when Hillary walked out on him when hottie brother Rob was getting all the good parts. Back to the show. Jason is next. He also has flowers but it appears he brought them for Aria.  Ezra can feel the sexual tension between Aria and Jason from across the room.  Just as I was think things couldn’t get more awkward boy was wrong. Guess who’s coming to dinner, or to end the dinner party? That’s right, Rosewood five-o.  Seems burglar boy Mike has been nabbed. Of course we have the parental denial, not our sweet baby boy, lots of looks between Aria and Jason then Ella and Byron are off to see the wizard—better known as the bail bond. Aria stays home to get rid of the dinner party guest and takes this opportunity to explore Mike’s room.  Imagine her surprise when she finds the masterpiece Jenna made in pottery class.  When Mike gets home Aria confronts him about breaking into a blind girls house he says he didn’t break into her house and that he got it from Officer McFriendly’s apartment. Aria is confused until Mike says Garrett Reynolds. You can see the wheels turning—Oh My God the cop we have spilled our guts to is——-is what?  A dirty cop, a killer, a kleptomaniac, just a person that likes Jenna’s candle masterpiece? Who knows? Not us, not them, maybe not the writer. For Spencer’s sake lets hope he just likes nice pottery because as Aria is having her OMG moment Spencer is cursing around with McCreepy quizzing him about the murder weapon used on Allison. He tells her Ian killed Allison and he is dead nothing else matters. You can see it a mile away the verbal diarrhea is about to start. She tells him she doesn’t think Ian killed Allison and just as he asked her who she thinks killed her she gets a text from Aria saying we can’t trust Garrett Reyolds.  How did we survive without texting?  Lets hope this text can save Spencer.  

Looks like someone may get poisoned next week.  We see someone wearing black gloves inject something into what might be a water bottle. I have re-played it 47 times and still my old tired eyes can not read the drug container or see what it is being put in. Don’t let Betty White fool you, old is not fun. That’s a secret you don’t have to keep.  

Until next week—Got a secret can you keep it?
