Pretty Little Liars: Touched By An ‘A’-ngel; Or: The One Where My Adult Mother Recaps It Again
Note: Please excuse the lateness of this post. (Also, don’t tell my mother. Luckily she doesn’t even read this site so she won’t know I’m posting it nearly a week after she slaved away writing it.) I haven’t had internet for a week. It’s like being a homeless.
Episode 10 begins with the girls at school and I think FINALLY the writers have realized they should at least pretend these girls actually take classes and are not just dropping by for the coffee and free breakfast entitlement program. To be honest the only one I think is taking advantage of our tax dollars “at work” is Emily. It seems I was wrong, they have just dropped by for a gab feast. Everyone wants to talk about Jason. Starry eyed, I can’t stop having sex dreams about hunky Jason. He wants to talk about the kiss. Emily, so shocked by the kiss starts telling Aria about the darkroom and all the photos of Aria sleeping or drugged, she says. It matches Spencer and the scolding of Aria really begins. That girl thinks she is their mother and don’t even get me started on the outfit she is wearing. These girls need a dress code more than Britney Spears Alexander Federline Spears. At least they wear shoes and so far none of them have shaved their head so we can be thankful for that. Aria storms out agreeing with Spencer and Emily that Jason is dangerous and she will have nothing to do with him. When pigs fly!
It’s college fair day. Looks like Emily is the only little pretty that will be attending. Aria has stormed off to go confront Jason about the pictures. Spencer is going to pack up all of Ian’s things before Melissa returns home and Hannah, well who knows we haven’t seen her yet. I’m sure she is trying on all her dresses to make sure she is wearing the shortest one and all that makeup takes a village. Again, good thing their school has zero rules. While pouring her alphabet cereal Emily realizes all the letters are A’s. Never a good sign. ”A” has left a message for Emily in the cereal—The weak link is the easiest to break! Snapping yet?-A. Note to manicurist on set, I like the green nail polish but HD really shows the bubbles. Might need to do a better job. Also, I didn’t mention it last week but Hanna’s were chipped. Just saying!! Poor Emily, I feel bad for her, no family, no girlfriend, no real home, the juicing thing hanging over her. I can see why “A” would think she is the weakest link. I’m not sure I agree with “A” but we shall see. Even pleasers have a breaking point and when that happens there will be hell to pay. Hanna has finally appeared and boy was I wrong. Girl looks like a train wreak. A train wreak in full make up. She and her mom are discussing her fathers wedding and her mom is really taking the high road this time. Nice job, Ashley.
Aria confronts Jason about the photos. He say he didn’t take the pictures that Allison did. He found the roll of film in a box Allison had hiding under a floorboard. Jason said he developed the film saw it was pictures of Aria and decided to frame them and give to her as a gift. He explains he moved everything out of the dark room after it was broken into. She is buying it and quite frankly so am I. If he were not a pretty boy we would be calling the cops. Even though almost no students, at least ones we know, showed up for the college fair most of the adults in town did. Everyone’s favorite shrink is back, Ann has a meeting at the school, Ella thinks it might be a good idea for Mike to start seeing her. DUH, you think? Anne doesn’t think siblings should see the same psychologist but will find someone for him to see. Is this something new? Has anyone ever heard of family therapy? Red flags for me, now I am not trusting her. As Anne is leaving she runs into Emily, she tells Emily she cares about her and that she might be surprised how much she understands. Emily tells Anne there are things they have not told her and that she wants to tell her everything. They make an appointment for later that day. What will “A” do to stop that little talk from happening? Emily heads for her massage appointment.
Spencer and Toby are busy packing up all of Ian’s things when they find his old yearbook. While reading Ian’s list of clubs they see he was member of the N.A.T. club. Know it all Spencer says that is not a real club because she has never heard of it. Oh course, she is once again correct. Turns out it is a made up club with three members. Who you ask? Ian, Jason and Garret. Spencer is obsessing about what N.A.T. stand for when they just happen to find a shirt with the words “Nos Animadvertus Tutus” on it. I of course knew admittedly that was Latin for “we see all”. Spencer looks it up on her phone and then really starts obsessing about what it could mean. Now she is really going to have to keep Aria away from Jason. On that front Jason and Aria are together at this very minute. Jason brought the pictures for Aria to see. They look very much like the happy little couple when Spence and Toby walk by and see them together. Spencer has had it with Aria not obeying her she is going to put a stop to this. She goes to Ezra to tell him that Jason is dangerous and that he needs to keep Aria away from him. Earlier in the day Aria told Ezra about the kiss so that and the talk with Spencer has him ready to bring their relationship out in the open.
Hanna and Mona are at the fitting for Hanna’s bridesmaid dress when Kate, Hanna’s soon to be step sister, shows up. Before she arrived Mona was making fun of the dress and calling her new family hillbillies. When she met Kate and realized the new family was more country club than outhouse Mona decided she wanted to be friends with Kate. Kate invites Hanna and Mona to lunch at the club, Hanna doesn’t want to go but Mona’s accepts for the both of them. Somehow lunch turned into horseback riding. Don’t ask, no clue. Kate has two snobby friends with her, at some point Mona has told them she is like the horse whisper. Hanna is just rolling her eyes and wants to go home. Mona tells the others to start without them they will catch up. Emily relaxing, really loving the message, until the masseuse comes in to apologize for the delay. Delay? what delay? Someone has been working Emily over. That’s right “A” is everywhere. Just as Emily is about to call Dr. Anne she gets a text from “A”—see how easy it is for me to get my hands around you neck? Crazy eyes head spinning then she leaves. What a waste of a good massage. I would have at least let the real masseuse work me over. God knows she needs it more now than ever. Jason and Aria are at Jason so can show her the box he found of Allison’s.
Somehow Hanna and Mona not only didn’t catch up with Kate and her bitchy friends but they have lost their horses. I am not talking about large dogs or pony’s, but giant horses. Again, don’t ask, no clue. We just see them walking out of the woods without the horses. Hanna is a bit concerned that she has lost her soon to be step sisters horses but Mona says no worries they are like dogs and will return. Back at the stables Hanna is upset about the day. She says she had tried so hard to make those girls like her. She also says why should she even try if it wasn’t for Isahell the skank her mom and dad would be together. Those little bitches can go to hell for all she cares. Good things she doesn’t care because they, as well as everyone around heard the whole conversation. The loudspeaker in the stable was turned on. Hanna feels bad runs out to apologize—Kate is not having it. Wait till daddy hears about this, and still no horses. You don’t need those snooty bitches but you might want to find the horses.
Imagine Spencer’s surprise when she runs downstairs to find Jenna sitting in her living room all creepy with her sunglasses and cane. I screamed, which caused the dogs to howl which caused the workers (going on three months now you would think I lived in a castle, just slow workers) to come check on all of us. Jenna overhead Aria and Jason talking about the photos and the box. She tells Spencer she is aware that Spencer and Toby are still digging around for answers. She tells Spencer that they need to stop because it is dangerous for both Spencer and Toby. Spencer lets Jenna know that she knows about her relationship with Garrett. She can never keep that mouth of hers shut. Ezra sums up to Jason’s house to get Aria. He tells her they need to tell her parents about them. They kiss, Jason sees it. He gives Aria the box and says he now knows she is unavailable. He has a scary look on his face— I may have been wrong about him. Who knows?? Not me. Cut to Jenna and Garrett sitting in a God ugly car talking about all the secrets. Jenna says they know about us, what about them? She says they are looking at yearbooks and it is only a matter of time before they figure it out if they haven’t already. FIGURE WHAT OUT? Spill it Jenna, you know you want to. Garrett wants to know what Jenna wants him to do. She says, it’s time for you to talk to Jason. Garrett and Jason have a very critic visit. Garrett drives up, Jason says I wondered how long it would take for you to come. Garrett—all roads lead here and we all know he is not really talking about roads. Garrett wants to make sure we’re still cool. Jason says what does does it matter now, it’s all over. Garrett says it matters more than ever now that he’s a cop. If looks could kill Garrett would be a goner. That would make Rosewood a better place in my opinion. We end with Dr. Anne apologizing to her next patient for being late. We don’t see who it is but just being in the room with who ever it is gives Dr. Anne a chill. That could be just about anyone in that creepy town.
Again, no answers. The girls are finally thinking “A” is more than one person. DUH!! Next week looks like we may get some answers, but then again it always looks like that. I’m still waiting to find out who killed Rosey. It looks like the girls tell Dr. Anne about “A”. FINALLY. Also, my guess is Dr. Anne might meet with her demise. She tells the girls she knows who “A” is. “A” is not going to be happy about that.
Side bar: This episode was directed by Mr. Montgomery himself. In your face Hilary. Who’s crying now? Good job but if I was directing my own show I would put myself in every scene.
Also, I felled to mention Kate, the almost step sister, is going to be hell on wheels. I think Hanna may have met her match. She is a giant douche, Kate not Hanna.
