Pretty Little Liars: I Must Confess



"And I'm the first person you've told about this?"

Emily hasn't slept in weeks and she keeps getting texts from "A". Hanna wakes up that morning to see Emily is missing. The girls find Emily's phone she left behind and see that "A" is now trying to force her to rat on Aria and Ezra's relationship. Emily runs to Dr. Sullivan's office ready to talk, but to her surprise all of her friends have beat her there. The four discuss the situation and Dr. Sullivan asks what's going on. The girls fill her in on everything, with a few exceptions such as what happened with Jenna. Emily later spends the evening with Hanna's mother and the two chat about their lives. It turns out it's not Samara that Emily has been missing, when she meets up for a dinner with Maya. The two catch up and Emily informs her on how much things have changed, such as her mother. Emily apologizes for how things were the first time around with them.

Hanna gets some of Spencer's old horse books as a gift to her stepsister as a peace offering. Hanna's grandmother comes to town for the dinner. Hanna's father wants her to give a toast along with Kate at the dinner, but her grandmother suggest she skip it, she wants Hanna's parents back together. The night of the dinner, her grandmother is very cold to Isabel. Hanna and Kate decide to make peace and put the past behind them. Kate shares vodka with Hanna as they prepare for their speech. Kate continues getting Hanna to drink more and more through the night. Kate steps out and leaves Hanna alone with Isabel's dress which she later throws up on, this pleases Kate. Her father finds out and berates her for trying to sabotage the wedding, as it turns out Kate just gave a completely sober speech. Her grandmother defends her and when Kate comes in to taunt Hanna, Hanna's grandmother dumps out Kate's purse to find the vodka. She shows Hanna that Kate was drinking water the whole time. Hanna swears her revenge against Kate.

Toby is working at Jason's house when he spots Jenna kissing Garret in his car outside. He later shares this information with Spencer. The two are making out in his truck at night when they see shadows watching them from the window of Jason's house. Spencer storms out to confront them while Toby chases after her. She is stunned to see her father coming out of the DiLaurentis house. Spencer questions why he's there but he won't tell her. He yells at Toby for getting Spencer involved and orders Spencer to go home. But to his dismay Spencer gets in Toby's truck and the two drive off. When she gets home her father tells her that the DiLaurentis family hired him to change their grandmother's will to include Jason, as she had cut him out and left it all to Alison. They feared it would make him look like a suspect. Spencer has a flashback to Alison questioning Hanna's grandmother about what it would take to make a grandmother disown her grandchild. Spencer realizes Alison went to Georgia to get Jason out of the will. Spencer wants to go to the police but her father cannot risk losing his career. Spencer asks what the DiLaurentis family has on them, but he will not answer anymore questions.

Aria's parents are worried about Mike and arguing with how to deal. That night Aria tries to get Mike to come down to help with dinner, but he is busy on his computer. When his mother comes up he tries to kick them out of the room. His mother tries to take his computer and the two break out into a struggle that ends with Ella hurting her hand and Mike storming out. Ella begs Aria not to tell her father what happened. Aria now struggles with keeping another secret for another parent. Aria later sees Mike crying and consoles him as he worries about his mother and himself. Aria comes down and tells her parents that she cannot keep anymore secrets. Mike follows her down the stairs to talk to his parents.

Dr. Sullivan gives a talk at the school to talk about cyber bullying and hints to "A" that damage that can happen if they continue to harass the girls. The girls get paranoid but realize it was time to speak up. As they walk out Jenna taunts the girls and reminds them what a bully Alison was. Later while leaving her office, Dr. Sullivan gets a phone call that keeps replaying her voice from her session with the girls. The cops show up to look for signs of bugging but come up empty handed. Garret is on the scene and asks for the names of the patients from the session but Dr. Sullivan tells them it's confidential. Dr. Sullivan goes through the girl's files and then checks out one more and realizes another one of her patients is "A". She calls Emily to get the other girls to meet at her office so she can reveal "A"'s identity once and for all. The girls show up to see no sign of Dr. Sullivan. They get a text from "A" saying "The Doctor is out".

At the end we see "A" grabbing a few things from the office including the hidden microphone.

This episode had family, rivalry, love, and of course the never ending mystery surrounding "A" and Alison's death. This episode gets an A and next week is the summer finale!
