The episode we’ve all been waiting for! Let’s see what happened:
1.Ali tells all: Thank god! There’s only so many seasons we can sit around with no real explanations about anything, and four was the end of my breaking point. Ali comes back to illuminate the girls on the situation, the biggest jaw-dropper being that she was being harassed by ‘A’ way before everyone else. That night, she set up an elaborate scheme to confront everyone she thought was ‘A’. Melissa’s dead husband, Ian, is the center of all this drama! Apparently, Ian had some videotaping fetish and he had blackmail tapes of everyone in town? Who has time for this? He should have stuck to filming plastic bags in the wind and maybe he would still be alive, just sayin’. Ali went to confront him the night of her disappearance about their relationship, and things quickly turned ugly but we all know it wasn’t him. Ali’s other big reveal was that it was her mother that buried her alive!! *gasp!*
2. Spencer is perfect again: Spencer seemed to be dead set on believing that she was the one that “killed” Ali but it turns out she never hit her with that shovel. Instead, her pills fell out over her pocket during her confrontation with Ali. Ali told her how to correctly handle her drug use and sent her inside to sleep with the rest of the girls. When Ali tells her this, Spencer breaks down weeping in one of the show’s most emotional moments. Knowing that the prep princess will soon get it together and be back to herself 110% makes everything worth it.
3. Ezra, the biggest hypocrite of them all: Pretty much everything Ali said backed up the story Ezra gave Aria about his relationship with Ali. During her flashback story, she told the girls that Ezra and her officially broke up that night and mostly he was just hurt because he “actually liked her.” He was all self-righteous about her lying about her age and “blah blah blah I’m hurt.” Ali may have been a liar but she was a lot cooler than him which is all that really matters in life (or so I’m told). I call him a hypocrite because age was such a big thing to him but then there was that whole 3 season relationship with Aria, which he entrapped her in. I just can’t with him.
4. Mona, Mona, Mona: Mona gets the award for being the best double agent/spy/sneak/best liar/master of disguise/schemer ever!!! On the night of Ali’s disappearance, Mona found her walking alongside the road after she dug her way out of the grave. Ali was all distraught and didn’t know what to do but Mona told her to stay dead as a way to figure out who ‘A’ was. What the H-E-double hockey sticks!!! That girl knew the whole time. The best part of the scene came when Ali gave Mona a “She’s All That” makeover in 2.5 seconds and told her how to be popular.
5. It wouldn’t be a finale without someone getting shot: Just as Ali finishes up her story, someone breaks into the room and begins shooting real aggressively at the girls. Like these aren’t warning shots, y’all. They get into a scuffle on the roof and dumbass Ezra shows up and wrestles the perp to the ground only to get himself shot in the abdomen. And instead of using his possible last breath on revealing who ‘A’ is he chooses to comment on who beautiful the skyline it (which looks soooo fake btw). Even in possible death, he is the worst. I bet if he wakes up he’ll have amnesia.
For once I can say that so many questions were answered! But in true PLL style we got some cliff-hangers:
1. Is Ezra dead? #whocares
2. Is Ms. Dilaurentis dead? #intrigued
3. Who really hit Ali with the rock? #getknockedgetbackup
4. Who is ‘A’? #theworldwillneverknow
(I am using hashtags to be like the network, which makes you think what I want you to think. #oramI?)
Until June 10th!
