They take their investigation over to Rosewood High school and it is their lucky day! There is a girl at the water fountain who is both wearing a church jacket and carrying a backpack with a flower jacket half-stuffed into it! Spencer is ready to knock the girl out and drug her with truth serum to save time, but Emily intervenes and says she’ll handle it.
Straight Bait Powers: ACTIVATE!
Jesus is my boyfriend.
Emily: Hello, there! I am Emily Fields.
Jacket Girl: …?
Emily: Emily Fields.
Jacket Girl: …?
Emily: Emily Fields. As in … Emily Fields.
Jacket Girl: Do I know you?
Emily: Do you not know me?
Jacket Girl: I don’t think so?
Emily: Um, okay. Wow. Okay. But do you not suddenly feel, like, super gay and willing to do anything I ask so you can keep standing this close to my hair?
Jacket Girl: Are you the devil in disguise?
Emily: ARE YOU?
Spencer swoops in to try to save the situation, but she barely introduces herself before she starts asking the girl where she got her jacket and was she wearing it on Thanksgiving at the park when she was hiding in a tunnel spying on one of the hundred blonde-haired girls in this town. The jacket girl starts bawling and Ella runs out of her classroom to see what the hell, and isn’t surprised at all to find that it is Spencer making random students cry in the hallway for no reason. Ella tells Spencer and Emily to leave this poor girl alone, and the girl scrambles away with both of her jackets.
She said Jesus is more holy than my collarbones.
You said WHAT.
Yearbook photo time!
Want to go to a lighthouse later?
Andrew, appearing out of thin air: Hello, Aria.
Aria: Christ, dude!
Andrew: You smell like the inside of a windowless van. Have you been hanging out with Ezra?
Aria: Not that it’s any of your business, but I asked him to kidnap my brother.
Andrew: Excuse me, it’s common courtesy to ask your boyfriend to kidnap your brother.
Aria: I don’t have a boyfriend?
Andrew: Then you ask the last person you kissed. I am the last person you kissed, am I not? AM I NOT?
Caleb goes to jail to visit Hanna. All he wants to talk about is the murder trial and the law and Mike Montgomery and blah blah whatever will get Hanna out of prison. But she does not want to talk about that because she only gets to see Caleb for a couple of minutes every week and she wants him to describe, in detail, the new flavors over at Lucky Leon’s Cupcakes. She also wants him to back off of Mike because he deserves to live, and Caleb is like, “We all deserve to live! And I am saying that as a person who has maybe died like 15 times since the Civil War!”
So what? Ali and Emily had sex. Tell them about all the stuff you did with Mona.
I guess that’s true, and we did it in French.
At home that night, Aria accosts Ella about how she’s keeping secrets about the girl with the jacket whose name is Kendra (which is the name of the character Bianca Lawson played on Buffy and so therefore Maya is A), but Ella says not everything is Aria’s business, including the fact that Kendra got stoned on Thanksgiving and hid from Jesus in that tunnel in the park for the whole day and night, just wearing her flower jacket and eating Doritos and creeping on Ali D.
This might be spaghetti.
I don’t care! Just put vodka in it!
Back at the Hastings’, Spencer and Emily drink either tomato juice or marinara sauce and talk about why they can’t talk to Toby about Kendra. It is because Spencer has kissed literally every man who has come within a four-foot radius of her mouth these last few weeks, except for her brother. She calls it “dating” but even Emily is like, “Slow your roll, lezbo, kissing isn’t dating.” Emily does want details, though, because her own personal love life has been pretty quiet since all her girlfriends are in jail or California.
Pages: 1 2 3 4See entire article on one page
– Two months? Did somebody forget that they’re on Rosewood time?
– Somebody is jealous of Hanna’s relationship with Mona.
– What’s in the box?!?
– I thought that it was Paige that apparated in, not Piper.
– Emily, are you wearing short shorts?
– “How about you let me talk to her?” “Okay.” “Hi, have you-” “I’M GOING TO EAT YOU!”
– I simply thought that the girl was homeless.
– For once, I agree with Ezra. Caleb doesn’t give a crap about Mike. He’s rationalizing in order to help Hanna.
– Mike just got the crap beat out of him, and Caleb is all, “This can prove Hanna is innocent.”
– Ah, poor Alison. Is all of your lying and manipulation catching up with you?
– It looks like next episode Spencer goes down the rabbit hole again, and takes the other liars with her.
Seriously though, we all know that Spencer tried to murder Ali because Spencer had sex with Aria, Aria told Ali, and Ali taunted Spencer, right?
I hope you’re right about the rabbit hole! A collective hallucination would be just the thing!
aria’s face about the tongue and the craft supplies, that was hilarious, everything was but that especially. Do we know if season 6 will be the final season? We will finally learn who A is and season 6 will be proving it, right? Also the castle that a doll is placed in at the end, thats radley right?who’s the doll?
im so with you about ezra,….i think he is this show’s greatest failing if they don’t have him held accountable.
There are TWO more seasons, actually. (I think.)
Then isn’t the real Big A Reveal the end of season six? Cuz we were told we’d know before season seven. I mean I GUESS this time could be for real, but then what are they gonna do for two seasons?
oooh!!i read somewhere that lasts weeks episode had 1.7 mil viewers, “my sources” (read the internet), think season 7 might be shortened because of it. we’ll see if the numbers of the A reveal will pick up as a result. if its done well maybe the pick up can be sustained for the whole 2 seasons.
So I read somewhere that Marlene’s tweets say it’s going to be a “big” reveal about A, not a reveal of Big A, though Big A will be in the finale, ergo anyone not there we can cross off our lists. And that whoefur is Big A, we’ve seen in a hoodie befur, but then does that mean THE hoodie, or just A hoodie? Anyway, I think Marlene said after the finale, “we’d be able to put it together / have all we’d need” to deduce the identity of Big A, but there won’t be, like, a name or a shot of someone in a black hoodie and we just suddenly know who it’s been all this time. But then they said the reveal was happening befur season 7 – so does that mean THIS not really reveal, or an actual propurr reveal? Goodness knows… They do taunt us. I hope I’m wrong about this – I’ve not actmewally waded through the tweets myself to check.
If they do give us enough to figure it out, doesn’t mean the Liars will know who it is yet. They’ll find out sometime before season seven, but we may learn before six starts so we can be frustrated that they can’t figure it out, too. It would actually be really creepy to see them trusting someone that we know is out to ax murder them.
A few months ago the show got renewed for season 6 and season 7. It’s been pretty much confirmed that season 7 will be the end, but who the hell knows if that’ll happen.
It was announced a while back that PLL has been picked up for a 6th & 7th season.
This is NOT in defense of Andrew, but it was his year book page that Aria asked to look at,
Ohhhh. Well. But still.
I’m actually thinking Andrew might be guilty of SOMETHING, simply by the fact that SPENCER HASN’T ACCUSED HIM YET. But maybe that’s just because she’s been a little busy making out with every OTHER guy in her vicinity. Oh and getting arrested. But then again, he’s probably just another red herring.
OH. ORRRRR. Mona faked her own death, per A’s instructions, then A instructed ANDREW to ACTUALLY murder her. In the woods. With arrows. And Andrew’s been working for A ever since trying to hide the fact that Ali didn’t actually kill Mona.
My latest theory is that Jenna is Big A, and because she’s blind, she has to keep recruiting people to actually do all her dirty work for her – Mona, Shana, Toby (for a while), Caleb (for a while), Ian, Garret, Melissa, Lucas, etc. And now, apparently, Andrew. Just needed to put that out there in anticipation of the possibility that Big A might actually be revealed next week, so I can get credit for my genius :)
I said the same thing on the last recap! Great minds think alike. I think that Jenna is the only one with the motive to be A. Who else would have that level of hatred toward the liars?
It’s also clear from her history with Toby and Shana that Jenna has Ali-level manipulation skills and disregard for other people’s feelings.
The show tends to make people seem totally guilty and then reveal that they have been terribly misunderstood (think Toby, Melissa, Ezra etc). They have never done that with Jenna. We have seen Jenna suffer too, but even the scenes that were meant to humanize her never exonerate her the way that the other characters have been exonerated.
But who knows it’s probably Ali’s undead secret twin sister who is seeking revenge for having been kept in an underground bunker for 15 years by Rev. Ted.
Toby has plenty of reason to hate them. He did time because Ali blackmailed him into confessing to blinding Jenna, when he was actually being raped by Jenna on a semi-regular basis. None of the other Liars spoke up to clear his name after they thought Ali had been killed. If that’s not reason to hate them, I don’t know what is.
That picture of Church Guy’s face popping into that tunnel was eerily similar to when Johnny’s face was peeping in Spencer’s window. Same creeper smile. Same white dude face. I’m surprised Spencer didn’t make out with Church Guy on the spot.
Awesome recap, Heather. As always!
I recently read a theory that Toby is actually the one with a twin (Charles). Their parents being Marion and Mr. D. Charles killed Toby in season 3 and Spencer really did see his dead body in the woods (which drove her to a stay at Radley). Charles has been pretending to be Toby ever since.
Mind blown
“Ezra says that Mike — who is the same age Aria was when Ezra seduced and started dating her — is a child and cannot be expected to make grown-up decisions.”
Yup. Yup yup yup. Yup yup yup yup yup.
Fuck this guy.
I cannot wait for the PLL/OITNB crossover.
I’m sorry for ya but they’re gonna get kidnapped by A before even getting to prison

Hilarious recap!
that jacket thing was the silliest, like really? Ali described it so vividly they just recognized it instantly?
Ezra really is the worst..
Ok, when Spencer and Emily are in the Hastings dark kitchen drinking spaghetti sauce talking about how she’s kissing everyone because she just wanted a warm body to curl up against, it made me think about that Spencer Paige fic you shared w us on FanFic Friday.
As the Bros Watch PLL Too guys put it, I think Mona is Gone Girling everyone. I’ve refused her death since we “saw” her in the trunk. I need more Ali/Mona slaps.
Okay the picture didn’t work but it’s Vanderjesus in angel wings.
I think you put a “/ at the end, which is what’s messing it up. Let me try.
THANK YOU.
A staged a breakin at Monas and planted the screwdriver with their prints on it at the scene. Possibly blood of theirs and monas too.
Was anyone else a bit thrown when a teenage girl on this show made a mistake and she was worried about her parents finding out, not how her homicidal stalker was going to use it against her?
Also parents lol
Toby constantly wants to be the big hero by being a double/sleeper agent but forgetting that doesn’t mean he only helps the opposition. Joining the police force is the same thing from the liars POV as helping mona.
Your best recap of 5B :)
Gosh so many funny moments in this, but I laughed so hard at this:
“whose name is Kendra (which is the name of the character Bianca Lawson played on Buffy and so therefore Maya is A)”
because I just finished reading a whole lot of tumblr theories, and some of them are just as wacky as this, lol.
Somehow I have managed to keep away from the Daisygate spoilers, or at least I think I have (maybe one of those crazy tumblr theories is real) but, I was just wondering if anyone is actually happy at what they say? because some people seem super unhappy about it.
I’m not sure what it says about the influence this show has on me, that I didn’t even bat an eyelash at the poor use of the law and lawyering in this episode. One thing that did bother me, how was Ali unable to manipulate even one juror into finding her not guilty? She manipulates people all the time, with practically no effort. Why not now? Did she want to be convicted?
A is Hanna, it’s sure !
Hilarious recap as always :-D
This episode was great. Andrew is being too obvious, there’s no way he’s A. Not even A-team material; he’s just jealous of Ezria’s relationship. So, it’s only natural he would try and kill the dude. After all, it is the Rosewood way. I’ve put him in the cousin Nate-category..
My money is on Aria all the way. Yes, it would suck, but it’s her. There are just too many clues pointing to her. I re-watched the pilot episode and found the last piece of the puzzle I needed to be 100% sure. Like I couldn’t believe I didn’t see that massive clue before, mind was blown.. And now we wait :-)
Oh now I’m dying to know what this massive clue is!
I’ll say this, just look at the text messages from “A” in the pilot. Really, really look at them, compare and find the differences between them. Seriously, it’ll change your life haha
You have to tell me what the clue is!
Ezra and his windowless white van, LOL. Sounds about right. Oh goddess, I’m like so ridiculously excited for next week!!!
Just caught up with all the eps then came on here to read all the recaps. Heather, great recaps as always. Was LOLing everywhere. I am also commenting to say that the captions for the pics are HIGH-LAY-RIOUS! I love ’em. Thank you both!
I finally have somewhere to read recaps of PLL and discuss! This is THE BEST DAY EVER.
Okay but is the US even in the commonwealth cause I kind of thought that they threw too much tea in the harbour for that???? In which case the jury has literally no qualifications for anything
