Pretty Little Liars, Episode 23: "I'm Your Puppet"
.png)
"You don't have to ask me again, Mona. I'm in." Say it ain't so, Spence!! Spencer uttered these words at the end of the episode, seemingly joining the "A" Team and working against the other Liars. This was a jam packed episode that set the scene for the season finale. So, let's take a look at what each Liar was doing, while Spencer enjoyed her time in the worst mental institution ever.
Hanna: The Liar formerly known as Hefty Hanna was finding herself more and more embroiled in Caleb's UncleDad drama. All drama is forgotten by Caleb, but Hanna is still thinking about the money she thinks Jamie stole from the church. Hanna is pulled aside by Ella. Apparently, Jamie is being accused of stealing a church bell and replacing it with a fake. Of course, Hanna thinks that this is the best time to tell Caleb about DadUncle and the communion money she thinks he stole. Caleb confronts him and that doesn't go well. Caleb's all "I was in foster homes because of you, deadbeat!" and DadUncle is all, "I've changed. You'll see." He leaves all dejected like. Later in the episode, Hanna hears the church bell ringing and gets a text from "A". It turns out "A" stole the bell and framed Jamie for it, along with the money. Caleb reads the text over Hanna's shoulder. Wah wah. I definitely didn't see that coming. So, good on ya, "A". This will for sure shove a wedge between Caleb and Hanna.
Emily: Emily was determined to prove that the body found in the woods wasn't Toby. She wants to use her mom's connections at the police station to sneak in, and of course Mrs. Fields is cool with it. What is wrong with the parents on this show? Seriously? The Liars sans Spencer bust out their candy striper outfits -- er, nurses uniforms -- and head to the morgue to take a photo of the body to show Toby. When they open the body bag, they find the corpse wearing a mask. they reach out to pull it off, but hear a loud noise and flee. So, was it just me or did that look a lot like the PI that Spence hired to track down Toby? Man, these girls are the angels of death. So, Em feels all vindicated and is ready to tell Spence, when she finds out that another body was found in the woods, right where Spencer said it would be. Uh-oh. Not so fast. At the end of the episode, there is a close up of Toby's tattoo, but it's smudged. Hmmm...
Aria: Aria and Ezra are still having problems. Surprise, surprise. So, Ezra has a job interview but he also needs to pick up Malcolm. Aria offers to help despite the fact that she is a terrible babysitter and would probably drown the kid in order to have Fitz all to herself. Despite that, Ezra says he'll handle Maggie so Aria can pick up Mini Fitz from karate. When Aria gets there, Malcolm is gone. Apparently, she had already been there to pick him up. After a quick search, Aria finds a poster for a carnival in Malcolm's cubby with one of the A's circled. She books it to the carnival, probably thinking that "A" is doing her a huge favor here, maybe thinking of gifts she could give them. Aria spots "A" with Malcolm but loses them in the crowd. After a frantic search, she finds him in a tent where a puppet show is being held. He is alone and when Aria asks who brought him here, Malcolm tells her it was her friend, Allison.
Spencer: Spencer is totally cool with being in Radley. She ignores the other Liars when they come to visit and her mom. Her mom does tell her a story about confronting Allison when she was sneaking into their house. Seems Ali was sporting a split lip and a black eye. Mrs. Hastings quizzed her about it and Ali revealed she had a deep dark secret, but when pressed she dropped it and was all smiles. Spencer is learning all of Radley's secrets. She finds a map that MonA had drawn on a gameboard. She also senses some tension between Wren and Eddie Lamb. Eddie tells Spencer that Wren can't be trusted. He doesn't elaborate. Spencer is also hiding her medication in her pillowcase, so there's that. Spencer also hallucinates Ali, so maybe she does need to be in a mental institution, just not Radley, because Radley is a joke. Ali the Dancing Hallucination directs Spencer to the star at the end of MonA's map. There, Spencer finds a pillowcase full of goodies every sociopath would need to break into and out of a sanitarium: a fake id for MonA the nurse, some medical papers and -- surprise, surprise -- a visitors pass for Cece filled out by Wren. When Spencer confronts the Englishmen he admits that he did it. It seems Cece got booted from college because of some Ali engineered frat party shenanigans. She really wanted to talk to MonA, so Wren let her. I mean, why not? Wren gives a halfhearted excuse about how he thought Cece would be a good influence on MonA. I mean, yeah, for sure. Sigh. He also reveals that Melissa was the one that told Cece MonA was at Radley. This is when Spencer makes her fateful decision to join the "A" Team. She pulls out a hoodie and some pills from her pillowcase grab bag, along with tickets to the carnival puppet show. Whoops. Sorry, Aria.
So, one more episode to go. What is going to happen next? Who is Red CoAt?
