Pretty Little Liars Vintage Recap - Keep Your Friends Close

So this is the final episode of the first half of season one! We're making progress!
Previously on Pretty Little Liars, a whole bunch of stuff happened, la la la. Last time, it rained a lot but you can read about the previous episode here.
Toby's been gone for awhile, I hope he reappears in this episode. Hehe...we know he does.
We begin with Hanna staring at herself in the mirror in her locker at school, she wants to know if one side of her face is fatter than the other side. Then we see Ian, who is apparently the new field hockey coach. Why? What happened to the old one? Then Mona comes up and invites everyone to "Camp Mona" her most awesome birthday party ever! But it's Glamping, not camping. Get it right! M is for Mona and massages, not mosquitoes.
But apparently none of them can come, oh no a message from A!
Camp Mona's a scavenger hunt and I'm the prize,
Come and find me, bitches.
--A
Again all in capitals, jeez what's with A and all the capitals? It's like they're yelling at everyone.
OPENING CREDITS
Now we open in the Marin kitchen, hey it's just like old times! "Talk to a representative!!!" Yells Hanna's Mum, when Hanna asks who she was talking to, Ashley brushes it off, but when Hanna redials the number she's reached the department of foreclosures! oh no!
Mona arrives and wants to be shopping and then having lunch at Rive Gauche. Woops, she meant dinner! Lol jokes, but Hanna isn't to keen on ditching school. Mona doesn't like this and she says if Hanna let's her down her again, she's going rogue. :O Luckily, Hanna's Mum gives her a Ben Franklin and Mona is pleased.
At the Montgomery household, Byron is a little stressed out being on his own. Also, Aria is wearing a tie around her waist....weird. He asks her if she's still having lunch with her Mum tomorrow, at the grill? Haha where else would they be? Byron wants to go but he doesn't know how Ella would react.
Now at the house of Hastings, the tension between Melissa and Spencer is starting to die down, that's nice. Melissa says that Ian asked her out for coffee but she said no. Cue flashback!
Spencer and Ian are practicing field hockey, and then BAM KISSING!
My goodness, the amount of older guys going for minors on this show is ridiculous.
As Ian leaves, turns out Alison saw everything, Spencer denies she was into it, and Alison replies,
"Good. Because if you were? That would make you a skank." 
Wait doesn't that make Alison a skank? Since she did the exact same thing? 
Back to the present Aria and Noal converse over weekend plans. Turns out they're dating now.
Ezra and Aria have quite an awkward conversation for a student/teacher. Back in the hallway, the girls are called to the office, Hanna texts Mona saying she's stuck at school, the charming Mona simply replies Screw you!
The FBI arrive and show the girls that video of Alison in the yellow top, you know the one I mean. 
She says that if the girls knew she was seeing this mystery guy, *cough* Ian *cough* they would not stop stalking about it. She says she has to get back before they wake up, "I know you want to kiss me."
They say how she's at the kissing rock, and that it's the night she disappeared. But that's not her sweater!
Ashley's at work and this old lady comes to visit her safe deposit box, she's got a lot of money on her. Hey why is Ashley still Mrs. Marin? That's really weird.
At school, Aria tells Noal about the FBI lady, before a book falls out of her locker with a note saying A wants her to read page 22, and it's a poem by Ezra Fitz. She storms off rather dramatically.
Some girl in a really bad top asks Hanna the name of her liposuction doctor, weird. Then Mona reveals A sent her a text telling her that Hanna got liposuction. Mona says that Hanna is not invited to her party anymore, and that they are no longer friends. Ouch for Hanna.
Either Naomi or Riley has a really ugly bag, I don't know which one is which.
Hanna tells Spencer and Emily that she's definitely going to that party, A might be playing games, but she's not.
Aria reads Ezra's poem with Chocolates and Cigarettes by Angus and Julia Stone playing in the background. She makes this speech about giving up on them, rah rah rah. She says he was only doing the right thing for him. Well excuse Ezra for not wanting to be arrested. Noal walks in and it's rather obvious what's going on with the way Aria says "There is absolutely nothing going on here." Way to give it away Aria.
Back at the Hastings house, Ian arrives wanting to take Melissa out for coffee, at first she says no but Spencer convinces him otherwise. She tells them that she was the reason Melissa and Wren broke up, and that she also had a moment with Ian, and after Ian and Melissa broke up they started seeing each othe for a bit. How inappropriate.
They've turned up the TV and Toby's going to be arrested! NOOOO!!! Toby did nothing wrong!
Emily talks to Maya and she says some wise words about Alison bringing out Toby's dark side.
Someone calls Emily and they don't say anything when Maya answers....hmmm.
Someone's in the house! And they're not answering....it's Emily's Dad! Maya is like insanely happy, it's kind of weird. And then is like disappointed when they think she should leave.
Aria's having lunch with her Mum, and it turns out she's painting again. Aria tells her Mum she's sorry about not telling her about the affair, and they promise to have no more secrets.
Back to another parent / daughter moment, Emily's dad comes in the room to talk to her. Emily's Mum listens in at the door, and she opens an envelope with OMG! THE PHOTOBOOTH PICTURES OF EMILY AND MAYA!!
Spencer's in her room packing for the camping, when Melissa come and they converse. 
Emily's in the car, and OMG TOBY!!! He tells her that his tattoo means that day he ended things with Jenna, and that she threatened to tell people that he forced himself on her if he didn't comply. Spencer and Aria arrive at Camp Mona. 
Toby tells Emily he's leaving Rosewood, and that he only came back to say goodbye. He said he'll meet her behind the church. Emily tells Aria and Spencer about Toby, and Hanna's packing for her A stake out. A sends a message and the scavenger hunt begins!
I really like Hanna's hair straight.Hahahaahahaha, Emily and Aria come back from getting blown and they looks so funny. I can't take tem seriously with that hair. A tells them that they are looking for them in all the wrong places.
Ashley is driving and Byron asks for a lift and she acts very suspicious. SHE STOLE THE MONEY!!!
That song by Matthew Perryman Jones Out of Reach begins to play, as Toby waits behind the church. A car comes up and he thinks it's Emily but it's the police arresting him!! *Sobs* I remember I cried so much when I first saw that.
Spencer figures out A's riddle, but it's hard to find your friends when everyone's wearing the Camp Mona hoodies. Hanna continues to spy for A, when a silver car pulls up. Oooohh!
Spencer and Emily go to Wright's playground, with a creepy swing...well, swinging.
Someone's getting into the silver car, with Ezra. Oh, it's Aria.
Aria and Ezra talk about stuff...it's boring. I'm bored. La la la, they kiss and Hanna sees.
Jesus, I can't even deal with how much they annoy me.
Spencer and Emily find a tree with Alison +......IAN!!!! OMG! Ian's Alison's mystery boyfriend!
Someone writes on the car window...I see you. CREEPY!!!
They run off, Hanna sends a message to Emily saying she knows who A is.
Why doesn't she just say who it is in the message? This is so confusing.
When A SILVER CAR HITS HANNA!!!!! EZRA HAD A SILVER CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They call 911, but there's a message from A.
She knew too much.
--A
Could it be because she knew about Aria and Ezra's affair? Hmmm....
The end! But no! We see the Alison video again, but this time the camera turns around and it's IAN ALISON IS TALKING TO! OMG!
And there's the first half of season one done!
See you next time!
