Pretty Little Liars, Episode 18: "Dead To Me"
So, I know it's been like two eps since the big revelAtion with Toby, but Spencer needs to get her shit together. For real. She continued to do everything that she possibly could to alienate her friends and family. She refused to attend a re-internment ceremony the DeLaurentis' were holding for Allison. I have to say, it was bitchy, but I was kind of on Spencer's side here. Everyone acts like Allison was a saint, when really she was a terrible friend, blackmailed her friends and their family, and is basically the reason all these bad things are happening to the Liars now. She rose to MonA's bait in the hallway. You knew MonA was trying to get under Spencer's skin from her using the phrase "A" game" to talking about how it would be a shame if Toby drove all that way to root for MonA rather than Spencer. She was sass mouthing the seedy PI that she hired to track Toby, who demanded $500 more from her before he would release the information. Seedy PI ends up giving Spencer some good advice, if she doesn't find what she is looking for behind the door that the "A" key unlocks, then she needs to move on. Spencer does not find what she is looking for in the seedy apartment. It is completely empty. This really sends Spence spiraling out of control. She crashes the mini-wake being held by the other Liars and tells Jason that Allison was pregnant with Wilden's baby. The Liars are kind of being too mean to Spencer. They turn on her pretty quickly. It seems a little forced. Wouldn't they try a little harder to comfort Spencer or find out what's going on? As she is leaving, Spence sees the hydrangeas that Toby bought in front of his mom's chamber in the mausoleum. She carves Toby's name above it, letting him know that she is done. No more Mr. Nice. Guy. Yowza.
The other Liars were busy this episode also. Hanna's story was the least interesting. She convinced Caleb to go and help clean out his aunt's house. In the process, it was revealed that Caleb's uncle is probably/definitely his father. Yawn. No one cares.
Aria is still depressed about Ezra leaving, so she hangs out all the time at his house like some creepy stalker, or you know, a teenager. I know people are into this, but I am not. It's creepy, statutory rape-y, and now that Ezra has a son, I am over it. I definitely don't want to see Aria playing house with Ezra's bastard. So, I'm glad that they are strongly hinting that Aria may have some competition for Ezra with his brother who hit on his physics teacher. Um... well they are the same age so I'm going to say it's better.
The most ridiculous aspect of the episode was Emily being hypnotized by Dr. Sullivan. I mean, Emily is probably the most weak minded of all the girls, I'm surprised she doesn't get hypnotized tying her shoes. Still, it seemed like a really lazy plot device. Emily, at first, sees herself killing Allison with a shovel, but later on realizes that what she was really seeing was the person who took her to Allie's grave the night it was dug up. She also sees a blond in a red trench coat and identifies her as the leader of the "A" team. Could it be Allison? Hanna seems to think so.
Some other quick things:
Emily reveals that Paige was not cheating on her, but trying to get info about who was wearing the Queen of Hearts costume on Halloween. She also finds one of the 25(!) post cards that she left in Allie's coffin in her mother's purse.
MonA shows up at Dr. Sullivan's new office bearing an orchid and some crazy eyes. She thanked the good doctor before taking off. Yikes. Never trust psychos bearing orchids.
At the end of the episode, an "A" team member is shown buying a bottle of whiskey. A big deal is made of him showing his ID, so they obviously want to make it known this person is over 21. Who could it be? Ezra perhaps?
So, what did you guys think? Hit up the comments.
