Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Episode 8 Ali Brings out A

 

 

 

Mona has been having panic attacks since Ali’s return. She confessed this to Hanna after passing out in the choir room. Mona is cold and calculating, but I totally believed her when she explained why she teamed up with her army against Ali: “She scares me. I just didn’t want to have to face her alone.”Your Pretty little liars season 5 night is never better than before. 

Maybe the Liars have something in common with Mona after all. They, unlike Ali, understand the concept of strength in numbers. The only number that Ali seems to get is one.

Other thing we learned this episode: Ali knows Cyrus Petrillo, the mystery man who showed up in last week’s episode, claiming to be Ali’s kidnapper. Of course, she waits until mid-episode to divulge this, to Emily, who as reasoned by Spencer is the hardest to disappoint because of her eyes or something. She’s also the most easily manipulated by Ali. After telling Lt. Tanner that she doesn’t know if Cyrus was her kidnapper because, you know, she was blindfolded, Ali tells Emily that Cyrus is the one who gave her that horrific scar on her thigh, the one Hanna spotted during Ali’s medical exam.

There’s a pretty terrifying flashback of Ali getting attacked by Cyrus in a dark and empty basement. Ali tells Emily that Cyrus just wanted her money and remembers him running off with her bag. This story keeps Emily on team Ali for much of the episode, while Spencer is ready to channel Noel Kahn and show the photos of Ali, “alive and decidedly unkidnapped,” to the police.

We don’t know much about Cyrus, but we do know that the Liars want him gone from Rosewood. They encourage Ali to let the 48-hour policy custody hold expire since Cyrus couldn’t possibly be Ali’s kidnapper since she wasn’t actually kidnapped. Ali has other plans: She tells the girls that she figures Cyrus can lead her to A.

Surely, there are other people in Rosewood, who could lead us to A. One of these people is Melissa Hastings, who tells Spencer that neither one of them are safe there. At the end of the episode, we see Melissa begin to record “the truth” in a videotape for her Spencer. Of course, she’s filming in the Hastings’ dark kitchen. I half expect A to dance across the frame.

Mona also has some ties to A. She embarks on a stakeout outside the police station, where Cyrus waits to learn his fate, while Tanner, Ali and Mr. DiLaurentis recreate the events leading up to Ali’s fake kidnapping. Mona’s tracking everything. Hanna is smart enough to identify Mona as a possible path to A. “We both know that Ali brings out the A in you,” she tells Mona. She then accuses Mona of “blue-scarfing the whole scoop.” She means bluesnarfing. That was adorable, Han. Hanna tells Mona she found Cyrus’s mugshot in her purse.

It was good to see Hanna back to herself, mothering Caleb and pledging to eat healthfully. “When was the last time we ate a vegetable that wasn’t battered and fried?” At one point, she convinces Caleb to go running. Spencer, having just discovered that A stole her hidden tape of Ali’s medical exam, tracks Hanna down in her car and delivers this gem. “Your mom said you went out on a run, I thought she was joking.” In addition to reminding me that Hanna and Mona were actually best friends and that Mona is basically a professional hacker Hanna, Mona’s heart-to-heart, reminded me that Mike Montgomery exists! Mona’s erstwhile boyfriend and Aria’s kid brother was referenced exactly twice tonight.

Mike was reportedly the one who told Aria that their mother hadn’t eaten since learning her fiance Zack was an awful person. Aria and her mom had a couple really sweet exchanges, wondering aloud if people can truly change. Aria is optimistic until Fitz betrays her trust by talking to Ali despite Aria’s asking him not to. Ezra’s got his stitches out, but Aria worries their covers will be blown if Tanner picks up any connection between him and Ali. Ezra approaches Ali anyway and warns her that if she IDs Cyrus as her “kidnapper,” it will affect others, namely him and the Liars.  Ali’s father swoops in, mistaking Ezra for a curious townie. Ezra reminds us that he, too, can be creepy. “Is this a threat?” Ali asks. “No,” Fitz replies. “Right now it’s an observation.” Aria doesn’t trust Ezra and I’m not sure I do either.

Ali ends up doing what Spencer knew she would do along: after a trip to the old basement, she tells Tanner that Cyrus is her kidnapper. It’s too late  he was released before Tanner to make the call to hold him. This doesn’t save Ali from Emily’s wrath. Em confronts Ali at her house. “The past several years haven’t been easy for any of us,” she tells her. “I stuck up for you  against Paige, against Spencer, against everyone.”

Ali mumbles half-heartedly about “making it right,” but Emily drops the mic. “I am done Ali, I am so done with you.”

And, it would appear, with good reason. We see Ali meeting up with Cyrus in the woods. She’s wearing a wig she must have borrowed from Vivian Darkbloom. “I should have left you for dead when I found you,” she tells him, before handing him presumed flight arrangements. Ali’s in on whatever Cyrus’s game is. And it doesn’t look like he robbed her.

Pretty Little Liars recap Season 5 Episode 5 Ali Welcome Back to school

Anxiety ran high before Ali’s first day back. Hanna confesses to Travis that she fears her classmates view her and the Liars as Ali’s puppets and Travis, bless-his-heart, tells her “there’s no rule that says you have to walk into school with her tomorrow.” Travis, who has apparently not seen the previous 99 episodes, doesn’t realize that old habits like texting SOS to your teenage friends in an emergency instead of dialing 911 die hard with these girls.

Hanna was easily my favorite part of this episode. When Aria, Ali and Ezra witness Jenna getting off of a bus and Toby relays that she is heartbroken over Shana’s death, the Liars go into panic mode. Hanna keeps it real: “We blinded Jenna, we killed her girlfriend and she’s back to punish us for it.” Spencer also gets points for her reply: “Said with absolutely no tact, but you’re right.”

The scene with Aria, Ali and Ezra was eerie enough now that we know Ezra knew Ali first and became essentially obsessed with finding out the truth behind her disappearance. Also weird: Ali was also talking to someone in a dark SUV, which she explained away as someone working for her dad.
Spencer got paged to the principal’s office, where her mom was waiting. Veronica announced that she was leaving Spencer’s father and taking Spencer with her. Like, immediately. Later, Spencer demands to know what the rush is and Veronica tells her that Mr. Hastings had dropped her off at the spa, but she instead worked with a private investigator to figure out if her husband and Melissa were telling the truth about their whereabouts the night that Ali’s mom was murdered. Shocker: They weren’t.

If Mr. Hastings and/or Melissa had anything to do with Mrs. D’s murder, they probably have more malicious of a motive than Aria, who is still wracked with guilt over Shana’s death. To assauge said guilt, Aria makes it her mission to befriend Jenna, even walking into her house uninvited in broad daylight and saying nothing when Jenna realizes someone is near. Later, she invites Jenna into her house for tea and to learn more about Shana. It escapes Aria that this is beyond ridiculous — even more so than her idea to donate to Shana’s memorial service.

Ezra clearly hadn’t gotten through to Aria, but there appeared to be hope after he showed her the scar from his gunshot wound. “Look at what she did to me. I’m lucky to be alive,” he tells her. Following several incidents where Ezria absentmindedly fell into couple mode — Aria instinctively caresses Ezra’s face, Ezra swipes whipped cream off of her lip – they throw caution to the wind and sleep together. Interesting choice of music there, sound director. It’s a cover of The Police song “Every Breath You Take,” which might sound like a love song at first take, but is actually a really dark song about obsession.
Ali’s first day back at school paled in comparison to the evening thereafter. In addition to Ezria’s, er, reunion, Hanna ran into a very irritable Caleb at The Brew. He seemed to deliver most of his lines in grunts and gave a halfhearted Kanye shrug when Hanna asked why he hadn’t taken her calls. I watch enough TV to know it’s because Ravenswood was full of ghosts and really weird. He later tells Hanna that Travis seems like a good guy and he doesn’t want to ruin what they’ve got going.

Just seeing Caleb has obviously rocked Hanna’s world she gets very drunk at a party Lucas hosts to introduce his girlfriend who never surfaces and delivers some of the best lines of the episode, at an appropriately loud decibel.

When Lucas insists to Hanna that his girlfriend is real: “Lucas, you’re doing it with her!” When Travis says “I think you’d had enough”: “Actually, you don’t know what I think, you don’t even know the half of it.”

When her mom lets her know she’s mad about her getting wasted: “Okay, mother”

After Paige leaves, Ali tells Emily that her feelings for her were real, in spite of the one-sided way she had always made it look. After sitting wistfully in Emily’s room, Ali leaves, solo, and finds herself getting trailed by a black car. It got very campy horror story from here — Ali runs into a empty church, list only be dark red candles. She sends the group’s trademark SOS text and soon finds herself confronted by an angry Mona, who says she can prove that the Liars were in New York the night Shana died.

Mona and Ali have an epic argument with Mona telling Ali that “I don’t care where you go or how you get there, I want you gone” and Ali reminding Mona that she almost killed Hanna. “Bu-butt I’m better now, even the doctors say so” Mona stammered, sounding like the stepsister from my all-time favorite R.L. Stine novel.

Ali went back into mean-girl mode: “I made you loser Mona once and you know I can do it again.” All of the background — the music, the creaky church noises — seemed to fade away as Mona slapped Ali and Ali slapped her right back, drawing blood.

Ali summons the girls, save for hangover Hanna, to her house to tell them about her night, replacing the part where she slapped Mona. Emily spends the night and they end up kissing passionately in bed. That Police cover? Still playing.
Things cool significantly the next day when Mona and her “army of losers” confront Ali at school. Turns out Mona has some footage of last night’s argument and has edited out some important details. It looks like the old Ali and the Liars are not impressed.

Ali apologizes profusely and the Liars are kind of meh about it — until everyone is forced together to watch a breaking news report about the girl who was buried in Ali’s grave. It’s Bethany Young, a 17-year-old Radley patient who, we’re told, escaped from the institution the night Ali went missing.

Outside of the press conference, we also learn that Sydney is legimately not to be trusted — she’s part of Mona’s circle, along with…Jenna! As the Liars, take in the new information, a huge explosion rocks the neighborhood and blows out a window. The group goes out to see pure chaos cars overturned and Toby’s house engulfed in flames.

Toby, likely thinking that Jenna might be in the house, runs toward it, despite Spencer’s pleas that he stays with the group. A chorus of text notifications go off indicating that A is back to make all of their lives miserable.Pretty little liars season 5 pulling every character in a twist. Did anyone else notice the look that Ali and Caleb exchanged? Do they have history we don’t know about? Is Ezria back together and public and about it? Has Emily forgiven Ali? Are Hanna and Travis going to just fizzle out now that Caleb is back?

Pretty Little Liars Season 3 Spoiler: Uncovering Toby’s Past

Here is something about the pretty little liars season 3 hot guy Toby in uncovering here past here is the details.

Pretty Little Liars showrunner, Marlene King chatted with ABC Family recently and revealed that, not only will Spencer (Troian Bellisario) be finding out about Toby’s (Keegan Allen) involvement with Team ‘A’ in season 3B, we’ll be learning a little something more about Toby too.

“We don’t see Toby’s family in Season 3B but in our very first Halloween episode we learned that Toby’s mother, not his stepmother, but his mother passed away when he was a younger boy. We’re going to learn more about his mother in this upcoming season [3B]. It’s really exciting to sort of start that storyline.”

So will uncovering a little bit about Toby’s past lead us to more of an understanding about his motives to take down the Liars, and why he would do that to Spencer? Keegan himself told.

“It’s so sad the way that [Spencer] finds out. It’s so sad that if I was involved in this like, if it was Keegan and Spencer and Toby, I would beat the sh*t out of Toby. I would lose my mind because it’s so wrong. It’s so terrible and just mean, and we find out why. We find out so many answers, and there’s closure to a lot of questions that have been asked since season one.”

How exactly do you imagine Spencer learns Toby’s secret?
