I've been looking forward to tonight since last Tuesday, to be honest. It's not because I don't have to work tomorrow; it's not because I got paid; it's because episode 4 of
Pretty Little Liars premiered. And what an episode it was(read: MORE SECRETS!)! Let's just jump right into it.
Pretty Little Bratz, Episode 4: Can You Hear Me Now?
I took a bit of liberty with the title of the show right there. And I am actually referring to the dolls, Bratz. You know, the ones with the really ugly faces and tacky clothes from the preteen section at Ross For Less?
Either way, the episode begins with the girls all getting together to talk about "A" (of course) and they decide to block messages from "A" in EVERY CAPACITY. Well, at least electronically. And it works; but only for about 2 seconds, as a flyer with Alison's picture shows up with "ding dong the bitch is dead" written out in blood. SpOoKy!
In Emily's (now on referred to as "the cwazy wesbian") life, she is finally starting to realize that she likes boobies more than balls - except she's TOTALLY FREAKING OUT about being a dyke, especially when she finds a copy of her LESBO PHOTOS from last week! While all this is going on, she is also lab partners with creepy-mother-fucker from last week's episode (now on referred to as "creepo")! But he's not a creep at all! He totally has a heart of gold! In the end, she kind of, sort of, maybe confesses that she wants to love on Maya, which leaves Maya somewhat satisfied, ready to "wait". Please. Come on. The lesbian side-plot this episode officially earns my award of Boring Of The Week.
Hanna is still blonde. She (somehow) remembers a) that she crashed her blahblah boyfriend's car into a bunch of boulders, and b) how drunk she was when she did it. But she don't care, because Daddy is coming home to visit! Or so it seems! Really, he's just there to clean up Hanna's proverbial mess. BUT! That's not all: it turns out that her father is also getting REMARRIED! The new family has another daughter, and her and Hanna do not get along. Basically Hanna is a blonde demon-spawn bitch. There it is. I said it.
Aria, oh Aria. Your name is part of an Opera. Why are you still dating a teacher? Remember how that's illegal and somewhat frowned upon? Sure, he's really cute, and can cook food, and tell anecdotes, but so can your local chef at the Baja Fresh (maybe not cute, but whatever).
Aria's plot is going to be only three sentences because I just don't care about her anymore (seriously, super boring).
1. Aria thinks that the teacher thinks that Aria is a child (convoluted, I know).
2. Teacher calls her out IN CLASS and raised a lot of red flags among the other students, duh.
3. At the teacher's apartment, they apologize to each other and DON'T spend the night together.
Spencer's plot-line gets my Awesome Shit Drama award for being so FUCKING AWESOME. First off, her totally kick-ass "Russian Revolution" paper from last week (that she conveniently stole from her sister) has been entered into a national essay contest. SO SCREWED! How will Spencer get out of this one? Who really knows; after this point, everyone seems to forget about it. Cut to the next night: Spencer is hearing HELLA creepy sounds in her house, which mean's there's probably a crazy hypno-racist ready to (I don't know). But it's not. It's Ren, the fiance that she kissed. He's drunk! He's a lunatic! He brought in a large potted plant FROM THE BACK YARD! And he confesses his love for Spencer is in the most unromantic way: scotch breath. She drives his drunk ass home, and they make out in front of his door which Hanna witnesses. Who didn't see THAT one coming? But when Hanna is driving her car, back to Spencer's house, a request from "A" to Hanna goes over the airwaves, playing "I Don't Need You Anymore". I didn't recognize it. Probably shitty song.
Two very interesting things about this plot line though:
1. The fiance's number was blocked from Spencer's phone (meaning that the fiance is "A"? Probably not).
2. Someone is VIDEOTAPING Spencer and fiance canoodling and holding hands and shit in her house. MASS CREEPY!
At the end of the episode, shit hits. Hard. Like, rock hard. Like a rock hard shit hitting something. "A" sends a letter to Aria's mom, telling her about the affair and (presumably) bringing Aria into the middle of this WHOLE thing. Meanwhile, Spencer is hearing something creepy inside her house while Hanna is with her. They get scared and send an "SOS" to Aria and the cwazy wesbian. What the girls find is a mirror with "It won't be that easy, bitches" written on it in "Jungle Red" lipstick, which was Allison's favorite shade. GUFFAW! This part also features the most poignant line in the entire series thus far:
Hanna: We're way out of our league.
That's right. You are. You know why? Because you're all FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. Jesus.
I'm so excited for next week! Maybe Aria will get pregnant with Teacher's baby, and the cwazy wesbian will get a fucking clue. A boy can dream, right?
