"One of a kind and all mine. Just like you guys."
This week's episode seemed like a transition episode. Old stories were getting wrapped up, but with enough openings to tear them back again later, and new stories began. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of Jason and Samara, as well as Hanna and Spencer's fathers. This episode is right after the girls realize that Ian may not have killed Alison after all.
Aria is with the girls discussing "A" and getting ready for the fashion show coming up when she gets a text message. She lets her friends believe it's from Ezra when it's actually from Jason. Jason tells her he should not have confided in her, but she assures him that his secret is safe with her. She later stands up for him when Spencer talks about how dangerous he could be. The girls get an email from Jessica DeLaurentis (Ali's Mom). She meets them all for lunch and gives them Alison's dresses to wear for the fashion show, which they hesitantly agree to. Aria talks to her Mom about people blacking out and forgetting a whole day of their lives. Her mother tells her that sometimes they just need something to jog their memory. Aria meets Jason to pick out pictures for the slideshow dedication to Alison at the show. Her attempt to jog his memory with old pictures is obvious and Jason feels like he's being interegated, which causes him to leave. While at the fashion show the girls are shocked when someone edits Alison's slideshow with a Bitch is Back theme with the words "Evil" "Monster" and "Bitch" on the screen. Noel, who was the DJ, taunts Aria when he brings the DVD over which Jason takes and breaks. Aria tells Jason she wishes people would let Alison rest, but everyone wants the "dirty details". Jason drives Aria home.
Emily's Mom is lonely without Emily's Dad. Emily suggests that her mother move to be with him now and let Emily stay here until the school year is over in June. Her mother says she'll think about it. Later she invites Samara to the fashion show along with a friend Samara already had plans with. Emily is worried when she sees how touchy Samara is with her friend. She confronts her about it and Samara assures her that they are just friends, but reminds her that she's the one who wanted to take things slow. Emily's mother later tells her that she agrees to go be with her father while Emily finishes her school year and has Hanna's mother looking after her.
Hanna's friends are all pushing her to get official with Caleb again, but she does not want to jump into a relationship with him. She is unhappy with her father and mother getting close again. Her father brings her lunch and tries to talk with her about working on their relationship, but Hanna accuses him of using her to get close to her Mom, whom she suspects he still loves. After seeing her parents dancing at the crazy fashion show Hanna is walked home by Caleb. When she arrives her Dad informs her that he is not ready to leave yet. A more warm Hanna says she'll see him in the morning.
Spencer's friends notice she is more romantic and less serious due to her relationship with Toby. Melissa is on a trip at the moment so Spencer is not dealing with that problem at the moment. She overhears her father on the phone with Jessica DiLaurentis, aruging about Jason being in town. Her father immidiantly lies when she questions him about it. Spencer is upset to find out that Mona has taken over the fashion show and her place at the head of the committee due to Spencer being MIA lately. She vents to Toby who suggest she just be happy that the bad stuff is over. After seeing her father arguing with Jessica again, she questions him directly. He tells her not to worry, but sternly warns her to stay away from Jason DiLaurentis.
After the fashion show, "A" left the girls a message which they saw on the wall that read "My Dresses. My Game, My Rules - A". We also see A spelled out in glasses and in the final scene we see "A" buying boots online.
This episode was not one of the best for PLL. This season has been awesome so far, always something exciting while still telling relatable stories as well. This episode was far from bad, but it just was not up to par. We would give this a B- for this one. They focused less on "A" which is not necessarily a bad thing, but where did they focus? No Ezra, Melissa, or Lucas, and very little Caleb. It seems they are moving the girls in new directions, and hopefully this next arc of stories will get better.
