Pretty Little Liars: The Remains of A

Part 1 of 2 - I Wear 3 Inches or Nothing

OhEmGee where to start. Well there's the fact that Ezra is hiding millions (ok probably more like thousands) in his sock drawer and made up some sob story which obviously Aria bought. What's he hiding?! Why is he lying?! Then there's the revelation that Garrett didn't kill Alison and Maya, except that I never thought he did in the first place. Why was everyone so surprised by this? THEN both Wilden and Spencer's dad returned to Rosewood for God knows what. What's up with that?! And we found out Holden had something to do with Emily's kidnapping. What the heck is his deal?! And why is Toby's hair so big? And what's going on with Mona? And why does Jason always seem to magically appear? Are the questions ever going to go away?!!

 

They should have just dubbed this episode The Hanna Marin Show, because girl rocked it all night long. And then she uttered the hands down best line EVER said on PLL (see title).

So like, do they teach classes on how to wear pants as awesome as these and not look like a total doofus? I (as well as half the female population) need to sign me up for one of those. Because try as we might, no one could ever, EVER wear these beauties as fabulously as Miss Sassy Pants Hanna. I know for a fact that if I saw someone walk by me wearing these pants, I'd quickly snap a pic and send it to the rest of the YKYLF fam with the caption "Oh no she dinnit!"

 

 

But Hanna pairs these pants with the most perfect yellow tank and oversized teal bag and exudes such confidence, I'd never even notice she was wearing the most ridiculous pair of pants I've ever seen (and secretly, still covet).

 

These girls must spend as much time on their nails as they do trying to figure out who the heck is stalking them. They always have the best manicures, especially Hanna-babe. (We are on a "Hanna-babe" level because duh, we're besties).

 

Hanna-babe and Em also seem to be getting closer recently. I assume it's the cohabitation, not the fact that they are secretly A together. Although each possesses very questionable tendencies slightly similar to A (drugs, drinking, kleptomania, etc.) so who the eff knows at this point.

Right?

 

But I do know that Emily's patterned pants can not even hold a torch to Hanna's. I don't care if they're Sevens. I just don't like light colored jeans very much (yes, I'm whining). And I'm so tired of her cut-off baseball tees (whining again).

 

Even this would be a more fun solution to Emily's consistently drab wardrobe. Maybe Hanna-babe should steal buy this corny beach cover up that everyone somehow still thinks are da-bomb! (I guess showing the back is too risqué for ABC Fam).

 

Strike a pose there's nothing to it. Vogue, vogue, vogue, vogue. God could she BE any more perfect? She even ugly faces prettily! At first I hated these earrings because they reminded me of a snowflake Christmas ornament my mom has and that I have never liked. Then I noticed they aren't solid gold but they have color and I thought, oh wow, those are actually kind of pretty!

 

But not as pretty as this dress. When Hanna walked through the doorway I swear I heard a choir of angels singing from the heavens above, "ahhhhhhh." This is just the prettiest gosh darn dress ever. I luuuurve it! It's so different from Hanna's normal style. Oh, and not pictured - her beyond Joan & David shoes. GORGE. This outfit makes her look like a young and innocent girl, devoid of any stresses such as worrying about a creepy dude who wants to have her and her friends for dinner.

But yo, Toby, what the H is wrong with you? You're dancing with a hot girl. If she can get over your three foot high hair, you can get over whatever your dumb grievances are.

 

Switching gears, I'm going to gush on Em for a bit. She's perfecting the art of runway right here folks.

Never ever has our bland little Emily worn such an amazing dress. So glad to see she's getting back up on the saddle. Though I just don't think it's fair for there to be this much pretty in one place, I mean God, can't you spread the wealth?

 

 

 

Don't cry Aria. Just because your boyfriend is totes magotes lying to you about why he has a bajillion dollars stashed in his sock drawer, I still really like your outfit! Positive reinforcement.

Yes, her top does look a little moth-eaten, but I'm digging the color combo, the cut, the fit, the way she gets whatever she wants with that pout.

 

Panning down...

Hey-o those are some shoes! Yup, you're right they're ugly. But gotta give snaps for getting Laura Ashley to make combat boots. 

Or maybe they're Dr. Martens? A Doc Martens/Laura Ashley alliance? How unholy.

 

Cute. Fun. Plain. Pretty pouty face. Meh.

 

Also meh: Don't worry I can explain this outfit. One of Spencer's extracurriculars is being a camp counselor and she forgot to change out of her outfit. It's not heinous, just not fab.

 

I understand Spencer is a stickler for being practical, but I know her shoes below to be:
1. Not opportune for trekking throughout Rosewood uncovering clues about A.
2. Too stark a contrast against her pasty (though pretty) skin.
3. From the late 1800s, and that was a scary time in footwear.

Spencer needs to adopt Hanna's motto on appropriate footwear.

 

And this outfit isn't much better. I mean...is that a necklace? A wannabe tie? Is it part of the shirt? Did she steal one of her dolls dresses and wear it as a shirt? Why don't her pants reach her ankles? Where are her normal preppy clothes? I am so confused!

Having her dad around must really be messing with her head...

Pretty Little Liars: The Remains of A

Part 2 of 2 - Who Dun It?

Yeeeah. Isn't this just a little too, I don't know, slor-ish for a 14 year-old? Or am I just getting old? While it absolutely fits Ali's personality, I would much prefer if this dress was hanging in my closet instead of on her body. 

 

I know we're supposed to be focusing on the importance of this charm anklet, but how can anyone focus on anythng with these shoes in the way? These are 100% eff me now shoes and I 112% love them. But there's no way she's 'A'.

'A' could never make a quick getaway in 13" heels.

 

Speaking of man-eaters, Ashley Marin is by far the most awesome mom. But I'm still not fooled by her sweetness (although why she would want to hurt her daughter I haven't decided, unless they're in it together... soory, I'm getting carried away). In terms of sartorial choices, I didn't really like her necklace and was confused by the neckline on this dress. 

Do you know what else I'm confused about? Why sometimes Ashley's hair looks SO red, and other times...

 

It looks light brown. In the very next scene! It can't just be the lighting. Are there two of her? But I do love this dress, and I love that she showed some clevage at a church function, and made a joke about alcohol to a pastor. This is why Ashley rocks, and where Hanna gets her sass. 

Apple, tree. All that.

 

Also on our suspect list: Ezra. Maybe if you had opened his robe just a little more we wouldn't accuse you of being on the A Team.

 

But as soon as we (and by we I mean Aria) opened your sock drawer to this, and you subsequently lied to us/Aria about the money's source, we had no choice but to accuse you of criminal activity. Bro, if you don't want someone to find this "secret" stash, don't go hiding it in your sock drawer in a tiny apartment where your girlfriend is bound to come across it one day when her Laura Ashley boots eat her socks and she needs to go looking for replacements.

 

And Mr. Hastings what is your deal? Why are you wearing a hideous paisley tie? And how is it that you disappear for ages, return, and suddenly know everything about everything? You. Are. A. Mystery. 

 

Papa Spence needs to take a clue from Detective Wilden, who's proving he's not all good hair and expensive suits. Is he part of the A clan? Or is he actually onto A's identity? Why does he always show up when things are getting more out of hand than normal? 

 

And why was Harry Potter, Holden involved with Emily's kidnapping? He obviously wanted her to see his stamp, he saw the recognition in her face. Who are you? Tell us your life story before I spike your punch with Veritaserum.

 

Sidenote: I threw this in so ya'll could get another look at Hanna's pretty, pretty dress. Oh, and so we can start keeping track of the height of Toby's hair. 

 

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!! WHO KILLED THEM??!! WHY WAS SPENCER SO UPSET????? WHO WAS SPENCER GOING TO CALL BEFORE GETTING THIS TEXT???!!!!! WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END?!!?

Am I being too dramatic? No, didn't think so. All these unanswered questions are starting to make me anxious. Last question of the day, why did Garrett's case get completely dropped? He still did some shady things like stealing the page from the autopsy. Isn't that a crime? UGH! PLL, you kill me.

Mini Recap: The Remains of A

Ok, I'm about to set up a freakin' flow chart for all the twists and turns PLL is giving us. Wilden is back creeping out Hanna. Jason is back in action sleuthing around with Spencer. Their dad randomly shows back up trying to be fatherly. Then Aria is snooping through Ezra's sock drawer, while Emily is still piecing together her drunken cemetery night. 

Drama-rama du jour
Ashley Marin may be dating a pastor. AND she makes jokes about booze around him. A girl after my own heart...

Gratuitous Male Shirtlessness
Ezra came pretty close to showing us a little sumthin' sumthin' before he put his robe on. 

Best Outfit
It's a tie between Hanna's tank and splattered skinnies combo and Emily's blue dress she wore to the church party (so flattering on her!).   

 Best 'A' Message
"Hey Spence, I have one more surprise for you. Garrett isn't their killer."

Current 'A' Suspect
Is it Lucas? Is it Mona? Is it Wilden?? Is it Pastor Ted??? At this point, I have no clue. 

 

Lauren will give us her thoughts on A this week. Look for it Friday!
