Pretty Little Liars Vintage Recap - To Kill a Mocking Girl


To Kill a Mockingbird is the book they're studying in English. To Kill a Mocking Girl. Get it?
Previously, some stuff went down. You can read about the last episode here.
My fingers are crossed that the style will have improved in this episode. Let's hope.
We begin with the girls trekking through some woods to make a memorial in a spot they used to visit....I think. I like Aria's dress but her vest ruins it. So Spencer wins best outfit.
Then a conversation about how some bug is attracted to Hanna's many products. 
Spencer thinks creating a memorial for Alison in the middle of the woods makes people think they have something to hide. I can't say she's wrong there.
Hanna remains silent and moody, and then tells the girl's she not sure if Alison is really gone. Does Hanna need to go the morgue or something? Because I would think the body bag and the coroner's taking it away would be enough proof but I don't know, to each their own I guess. The other girls seem to agree with me, "WE WENT TO HER FUNERAL!"
And Hanna thinks that A still might be Ali. And then there's a noise, in the woods, could it possibly be....an animal? Thank you Spencer for pointing that out. If it really was a person there, they are doing a terrible job of being stealthy.
OMG A TEXT.
Heads up, BFFs,
It's open season on liars and I'm hunting...
--A
Why the dots? That's what I don't get. Is A trying to insinuate something? I think the message was pretty clear.
OPENING CREDITS
Again we open in the Marin household. Detective What-Am-I-Still-Doing-At-The-Marin-House is hanging around in a towel. The towel theme is back! Hanna and her Mum have a conversation about why he's still hanging around, awkward because Detective Creepazoid hears the whole thing.
Now Aria and her parents are at some cafe, discussing To Kill a Mocking-Bird
A copy of that book is right next to me as a type this, in case you were wondering.
Ella conveniently leaves just in time for Blondie / Mr. Montgomery's mistress comes to interrupt ever so rudely. Aria is very cold, serves you right bitch. If my Dad had an affair and the bitch came up to us at the table I would throw my drink at her or something.
Hastings Household time, and the tension is high between Melissa and Spencer. Hey isn't Mrs. Hastings from like Law and Order or something?
Spencer really doesn't help the situation by saying "Melissa! Why do you think your fiancee kissed me in the first place? Because you're a controlling Biatch!!!" It's basically what she says. Sean and Noal, Noel? Noal Kahn tells Mona and Hanna that there's the party of the year at his house tomorrow night, once the boys leave, Mona basically tells Hanna to sleep with Sean or she'll be Miss. Judgy Judgy. 
In the hallway, Spencer tells Aria how stressed out she is, and she's got a paper due soon and all she's written is her name. That's probably more than I've written for my English Essay due Friday..awks. But then... the moment arrives...............................................(We need a big build up for this)...............................................................
IT'S TOBY!!!!
Omg!!
Looking all brooding.
*CUE FLASHBACK*
A five second flashback of Toby carrying Jenna out of the shed the girl's set fire to. They seem to suspect Toby as A. Come on guys, we all know all he's guilty of is being a dream boat.
"Whisper, whisper, whisper, almost seems like Alison's still here." Recites creepy Jenna as she walks past, then Hanna tells Detective Creep a la Creep Wilden how nobody could compete with Alison. There's a flashback that's pointless to write about.
Hanna mentions that he was in her house in a towel,
A towel again? The writer's are obsessed with towels, I swear.
I miss Toby already.
Aria sneaks into Mr. Fitz's classroom, not to talk about the homework assignment, but to discuss his weekend plans. Ezra tells her she should go to Noal Kahn's party, Aria doesn't really want to though, she wants sexy time with Mr. Not-so-appropriate-English-Teacher. 
Spencer goes to visit Wren, and begs him to tell her family the truth. He encourages her to get an A and everything will be fine, and that his real mistake was falling for the wrong sister. Well sorry Wren, because Toby is the only one for Spencer! Yay! But not for awhile, ah, this wait is torturous.
Emily is now in the locker after swimming, and is freaked out by Ben, who tells her not to bother getting dressed, and then gets a bit to handsy, but don't worry! Toby is here to save the day! He's like a superhero! I swear.
Emily breaks up with Ben as Toby punches him in the face. Wooh!
Aria enters the gallery her Mum works in and who should be there? Blondie bitch / Mr. Montgomery's Mistress, she tells her to back-off. I would be more like "BITCH STAY AWAY!!!"
Hanna gets ready for the party and Detective I-make-bad-jokes-and-I'm-creepy offers to take Hanna to the party in the squad car, and then tries to go through her bag after she leaves. After he tells Ashley that he interviewed again she tells Detective I'm-So-Creepy-It's-Ridiculous to have dinner some place else, and breakfast to. Oooh burn!
Time for the party! Emily's sad about her breakup with Ben, Maya is making funny jokes, I'm beginning to enjoy her presence. Ben suffers the ultimate rejection when Emily tells him she decided to come to the party just not with him. Ouch.
Spencer takes Melissa's essay on the Russian Revolution. Girl! You know that's going to come back to bite you later!
Melissa talks about covering tracks, I don't really get it. Spencer beats Melissa when it comes to hair though.
Sean is playing foozball like it's nobody's business, but Hanna thinks he should be doing her like it's nobody's business.
Emily tells the girl's how Toby saved her from Ben, yay Emily sticks up from Toby! Spencer don't be so hard on the future love of your life! My goodness. Aria says she doesn't know what 'just us' means anymore. Meaning just the girls, um, what else could it mean? Everyone leaves the conversation, Hanna to get it on, Aria to see her Mum / probably Ezra, and Emily to go see the photo booth with Maya, leaving Spencer alone. Also I want Spencer's skirt.
*CUE FLASHBACK*
It's the night of Jenna's accident and Alison is threatening Toby "I'll make sure everybody knows!"  But oops Spencer's heard her. Spencer says she's heard nothing, but we know better. Alison tells the girls that they should go and pretend they were never here. Hanna says that maybe if they tell the police it was an accident....NOOO!!! Alison declares, and then tells Hanna that she's gone out of her way to include Hanna, and she should say nothing unless she wants to go back to spending her weekends alone with Dance Dance Revolution and a Jumbo Bag of Chips. Ouch. That's a bit harsh. Seriously, why were they friends with such a psychopath?
Alison says that what's happened is really bad, no shit Sherlock. The flashback ends with Spencer seeing Toby being taken away in the Police Car. Poor Toby :(
Hanna takes Sean up to some creepy loft area of the house, where there are probably spiders.
Maya and Emily take photos, Emily's famous pout makes an appearance. But then! Oh my god! A kiss! And then someone takes the pictures, with that kiss! Oh no! Emily's worried, but Maya thinks maybe they just ran out of paper.
Back to Hanna and Sean, Hanna wants to do it right there and then, but Sean doesn't want to, and Hanna gets all emotional, saying that any guy at the party would be happy to be with her. Don't worry Hanna, Caleb will be there soon.
Now we're at Ella's gallery night thing, and look Blondie decided to make an appearance. Aria is like "GET OUT NOW BITCH!" If it was me, I would have dragged her out the door. Back to the party, Hanna's rejection is rubbed in by A,
Heads up, hon. Hefty Hanna never gets the guy --A
Way to add salt to the wound (episode title reference) Hanna takes Sean's keys and then his car, just for a joy ride. Well a little bit more than that.
Then here we are, with Aria at Ezra's apartment door, all emotional. Awks.
Aria wants to just "be here" ugh, I'm sick of them already. I NEED SPENCER AND TOBY!!
Car alarms sound and we know what's happened, Hanna has completely wrecked Sean's car. Woops.
Emily gets out of Maya's car, and sees Toby across the street, she walks over and tries to say thank you . She does a pretty pathetic job though, Toby says nothing, but smiles very adorably.
"WHY IS SHE THANKING YOU!???!!" Jenna basically screeches.
"It's not what you think."
Now it's the next day and the girl's are back in the woods. Spencer tells the girls that Ali had something on Toby and that's why he took the fall for them.
Once again the girls here someone in the woods, they run but see nobody. But then on the ground.....Alison's bead bracelet!
A black glove prints out multiple copies of....EMILY AND MAYA'S PHOTOS. With sexy music playing in the background, 'JUST LIKE HEEEAAAVVAAANNN'
What's going on around here?
Who knows, but I feel like something bad is about to go down. Well, it's Pretty Little Liars of course something bad is going to go down. See you next time!
Ta Ta my lovelies
