Pretty Little Liars: Picture This

"You're playing with fire"



Pretty Little Liars is always leading the way in today's new generation of mystery TV. There always seems to be some big revelation before every commercial break and tonight was no different. Early in the episode we see Hanna, Emily and Spencer as candy stripers, sneaking back into the morgue. They overhear that Jenna is getting a cornea transplant in order to get her vision back. The girls now fear of how much more of a threat Jenna will be if/when she can see.


Aria has a passionate dream where she is kissing Ezra, and towards the end of her dream he turns into Jason. Aria is shocked and awoken from her dream. Emily later questions Aria about her closeness with Jason and Aria confesses her dream. Emily worries about her hanging out with Jason but Aria also points out that they once thought Toby may have killed Alison as well. Emily promises not to tell anyone as long as Aria stays away from Jason. Later Aria surprises Ezra in his office and the two hook up together before his next class. Afterwards she waits around to talk more with him. Ezra questions if anything is going on and Aria claims she just wants to spend time with him. Later Aria has a dream about making love with Ezra and once again he turns into Jason later in the dream. She shares her new dream with Emily but assures her that she is happy with Ezra and has no romantic interest in Jason. Meanwhile, Aria's parents are worried about Mike. When her father goes to talk with him, he sees something in him that reminds him of his own brother. Byron is now worried for his son. Jason later visits Aria and the two talk, until Aria gets uncomfortable and makes an excuse to get him to leave. Later Aria is walking and Jason pulls up and gets out to talk with her. Jason confesses his feelings for her and kisses her. Aria pulls back, apologizes, and tells him that she is unavailable. Meanwhile Jenna and Garret watch fro a distance, and Jenna worries that Jason will remember what happened that night and tell Aria.


Emily is throwing out all of their lotions in case A got to them too, she is afraid of A's next move. Hanna's mother Ashley later allows Emily to have friends over while everyone else is gone, she wants Emily to feel comfortable while abiding by the same rules as Hanna. Emily has Samara and her friends over to play poker. It's all fun until A texts her and orders her to get the number of one of Samara's friends or else her medical test results will go viral and ruin her swimming career. Emily reluctantly slips the girl her number, which is seen by another friend of Samara's. Samara confronts Emily about it the next day and Emily claims she just wanted to get to know her friend better. She doesn't buy it and walks out on Emily for being dishonest with her.


Hanna has not talked to her father since he left and is not sure that she wants to be a part of his wedding. She later sees Caleb talking to the "cop" that was following him. Caleb reveals that it was actually a private investigator hired by his mother. The two look up his mother and discover that she is living in California, wealthy, and has young children. Hanna questions him about wanting to meet her, but he changes the subject and leaves to get pizza. Later Hanna finds him sitting in a park, she pushes him to call his mother and talk with her. That night Caleb comes to her house to tell her that the phone call went great. He talked with his mother about a lot and decided to go to California to get to know her better, and he has to leave tonight. A very sad Hanna supports him in his decision. Caleb tells her that he'll be back for her. After an emotional farewell the two declare their love for each other and Caleb leaves. Hanna later calls her father and gets ready to schedule a fitting for her bridesmaid dress.


Spencer notices Jason panicking when a worker tries to enter his shed. She grows even more suspicious about what he could be hiding. She informs her mother of what happened with her father and the hockey stick. Her mother trusts her father and tells her that she cannot trust the DiLaurentis family, including Jason. After her mother leaves to see Melissa, Spencer and Emily run over to sneak into Jason's shed. The girls get in using the spare key hidden above the door. They look around and realize it is Jason's darkroom. They look on the walls and are shocked to see pictures of Aria sleeping. When Jason comes home the girls race out, leaving behind a dropped photo and the flashlight which Jason finds later. The girls later return to see that the key is gone, but the shed is open. They are stunned when they open to see a completely empty shed with their flashlight left on and standing straight up.

At the end we see "A" in a darkroom, developing pictures of Spencer and Emily lurking together.

This episode was not as good at grabbing our attention but it still was a great episode and gave us more questions and more to speculate about. Just when you think the story can't get more complicated it does. This episode gets a B+ for a grade. We are only a few episodes left before the summer finale!
