PLL 608 FrAmed Recap

I don't know about you, but I am always ready for a party! When we gather together to celebrate someones accomplishments and dreams, I don't  know, it just brings a stoic tear to my eye, In fact, I just recently attended a Senior's Art Gala, and let me tell you... actually, I will tell you all that happened. But first, we should press the rewind button and start at the very beginning...

We're shown the Liars watching a Newscast about Charles when Spencer makes sure Alison gave the video of herself, Jason and "Freddie" from last weeks episode to the cops. Spencer suggests the cops can do one of those age scanning tricks when Hanna gives us her first funny quote of the episode.

Hanna: Yeah and we get put the fist to the face...

While Spencer, Emily and Aria are consoling Alison because her brother's a mother fucking psycho, Hanna is going out of her way to insulting Charles every chance she gets. For some reason it's upsetting Alison, but it's really whatevz because... well yeah. Alison suddenly starts recalling the day she and Jason had with Charles at the arcade for his birthday. She doesn't understand how a kid who shared his birthday cake and icing with her could turn out to be so cruel and vicious and mean. As I'm re watching this scene, I can't help but kinda side with Hanna. Why is Alison giving Charles the benefit of the doubt? He did try to kill her with a rock, right? He caused Jessica to bury Alison alive because she thought her daughter was dead, right? Plus wasn't Charles the one who... 

Drugged Emily, played with a dead bitches teeth, framed Garrett for murder, shoved Aria in a box with a dead corpse, burned poor little bobble heads, shoved Jason down an elevator shaft, killed Wilden(this was CeCe, but who's to say she isn't our Surprise Guest in this episode? Hmm), shoved a dead pig in his trunk, pulled the girls out of the fire and leaving Hanna to burn to crisp(this is obviously debatable since a very special surprise guest could have done that), played with Wilden's dead corpse, dressed up in a Black Widow costume,(again this is most likely the special surprise guest in this episode)almost ran down Mona, Aria and Emily causing Emily to break her shoulder, crashed a car into Emily's living room, lured the Liar's to Ravenswood, fucked with Spencer's wedding dress with teeth, lured the Liar's to New York(okay so this was really Alison who invited them there, but whatever), shot up a cafe, shot at Alison and the other girls, observed his super powers by jumping off a building(although the grunt A made after they jumped off that building sounded female...),  bombed Toby's house, kidnapped Mona, caused the Liar's to put Ali in jail, set up an amazing firework show, framed Hanna ending her up in jail, framed Alison for Mona's murder, framed the Liar's for Mona's murder, kidnapping the Liar's, shoving them into a lifesize dollhouse forcing them to listen to a creepy electronic voice person, shoving Mona down a hole, inserting tracking chips into the Liar's necks, and is now planning... well, we'll get to that.

But seriously, if you read that all, congrats because that is literally everything A did to the Liar's since Season 3. 

Anyways, Ashley and Hanna are getting to the bottom of this Carissimi Group fund thingy that Hanna feels insulted she even got in the first place, and Ashley is confused as hell over this. Why can't Hanna just accept the scholarship money and be happy with it? It's true A could just take the money back when Hanna needs it the most... Unfortunately they don't even get to see Kenneth since he's hiding away from the press who keeps hounding him about his dead-not-so-dead son. Since Ashley doesn't want the Press to turn to them and hound them, she hightails it out of there with Hanna in tow.

Over at the Brew, Ezra is getting MEGA JEAL!!! Clark is talking to Aria asking her all sorts of questions about A and what A has done and what A might do in the future! To be honest, I totally drifted off into my own abyss while this conversation was taking place. After he leaves, Ezra makes his jealousy known and then Aria calls him out for eavesdropping and then Ezra tells her he doesn't trust anyone anymore, and then Aria defends Clark saying he's not blonde with blue eyes, and tells Ezra to chillax! So you know the invitation I placed in the beginning of the recap? Aria is holding an Art Gala but Ella doesn't want her to go because Charles is out there, and the Montgomery family is just so committed to... whatever the fuck Mike has going on. Psh, whatever. Even though...and it kills me to admit this... I liked Ezria this episode, Aria did show her totally ditzy side Ezra offered to escort Aria but Aria totally let that fly over her head and wanted to know if Tanner could send out a car for her. Oh Aria. Lol. 

Across the ways, Lorenzo and Alison are talking about A while Alison is supplying a picnic for her boyfriend. Alison's noticed that ever since the PLL's and Jason confronted Charlie D, Kenneth has been extremely closed off from the world and will only talk to Tanner about his problems. Seriously, he hasn't said a word to Alison about Charles except that Charles tried to kill her when she was just a fucking baby. Anyways the gist of this scene is that Alison made soup for Lorenzo and doesn't understand why her father's being so quiet.

The next scene involved Hanna bitching to Spencer about how she doesn't want the money and she and Spencer are trying find more information about the Carissimi Group. Hanna mistakes the meaning of college credit and when Spencer is about to correct her, Hanna gave her a good idea! Why not just break in?! It's pure fucking GENIUS!!! 

At the Montgom's, Aria is showing Tanner her photo's as a way to let her attend the Art Gala. I'm watching this scene and it's really fucking twisted and not in the creepy twisted sort of way. Tanner is giving Ella all this confidence that Aria will be safe at the Gala while Ella is worried Charles will jump out of his hiding spot and tackle Aria to the group and drag her back to the dollhouse. But Ella is second thinking herself, making sure Aria is with the family at all times so Charles doesn't do anything... shouldn't Tanner and Aria be fighting to the brisket with Aria screaming how it's unfair and she should be able to go while Tanner is screaming back saying it's way too dangerous for a Pretty Little Liar to be going out in public without family? Just... what??? 

Next... THE FIRST MOST AMAZING SCENE OF THIS EPISODE COMES ON!!!! At first we're lead to believe we're watching the boring people set up for the Gala, but OMG IT'S A SPYING ON THEM THROUGH COMPUTERS!!! Just wait ladies and gentz because it's gonna get better! A buzzer rings and A presses a button to let the visitor into the Lair. And who just happens to join A in the two chairs while watching everyone set up for the Gala?

MOTHER. FUCKING. RED. COAT!!!!

So A ISN'T working alone! Red Coat is dawning her amazing attire with her beautiful black leather gloves. Welcome back, RC, you've been missed!

At the Montgom's, Aria and Emily are going through outfit choices for Aria's debut. We're almost shown a sneak peek of Aria's prom dress, but she totally doesn't let Emily see! No fair, Aria!! It's revealed to Aria from Emily that Vice Principal Hackersaw received complaints from parents about whether or not the Pretty Little Liars should attend their prom or not. This pisses Aria off so bad that she wants to go out and blow fire on everyone that wronged her!! Just kidding... Anyways, Aria asks Emily to prom since their both single and stuff, but Emily reveals she's ultimately in love with Whats-Her-Face from the other episode. 

Just... why?

Spencer and Hanna goes to the Carissimi Group and Hanna acts like a total bitch when she's trying to "Act like a normal human being" and she gets really fucking paranoid when she sees a mirror which she concludes it's totally a two way!! While Spencer tries to calm Hanna down and get her to shut the fuck up, Hanna is making all these stupid noises and she proceeds to throw a paper ball at Spencer when Jason DiLaurentis comes into the room. Wait... um... that's not Jason?? Is that Rhys Matthews?? 

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???

Back with Alison and Lorenzo, it's revealed Kenneth is really cooperating with Lt. Tanner. Basically, they got a profiler to do some stuff, and Alison realizes they want to kill her brother because he's a sick and twisted fucker. Lorenzo's on medication and Alison literally looks sick to her stomach because she knows her brother's a dead man. Something is churning in Alison's head because she noticed a little something something besides the extra copy of keys Lorenzo keeps. Be careful Alison, you wouldn't wanna do something you're not suppose to. But let's be real, when has that ever stopped her?

Back at Aria's, they're continuing to talk about how Emily's falling in love with Sara Harvey... can we be real? The only reason Emily is falling hard for Sara whats-her-face is because she "looks" like Alison. Seriously Emily, just get with Zoe. Or go back to Samara. Or just stay single, good fuckin God. What's even worse is that Sara is becoming the Alex Santiago of the group. Remember when they went to Homecoming and Spencer took Alex and everyone had to keep Alex occupado? Even though the girls really sucked at doing that... but still... yeah. I dunno. I think it's stupid since we all know Aria's gonna go with Ezra, but like I said I tolerated Ezria this episode so I'll let it slide for once. 

Back at Carissimi, Jason's twin... I mean Rhys Matthews, is pretty confused why Hanna would be returning her scholarship funds to Carissimi. Obviously she doesn't want Charles fucking with her because if he allowed her to get that money then he could most likely snatch it back when she needed it the most, so it makes sense. And the girls went to the immediate conclusion that he has the DiLaurentis genes and MUST be Charles DiLaurentis!!! LE GASP IT'S JASONS TWIN!!!!!

Just kidding!

The next short scene involves Alison finishing up her Boo's laundry and finding Lorenzo's PD passkey. Uh oh, what's she planning on doing with that? Hmm, one has to wonder. 

It's party time!!! Spencer and Hanna finally makes it to the Art Gala and are surprised by how many cops Tanner issued for the night. While they avoid as many people as possible, Emily comes up and demands to know where the fuck the two girls have been. At first Spencer tries to make up some excuse, but Hanna's expression makes her crack under the pressure. And the most hilarious thing ever was when Emily mistook Rhys for Jason because "he has Jason's perfect hair and Ali's perfect chin!" according to Hanna. Over with Ezria, they're talking about Aria's photo's and how awesome her talent is and poor Aria asks Ezra to the prom but immediately backtracks when she realizes how stupid it sounds out loud cause he totally use to be her teacher and he wouldn't wanna be doing the Macarena with the other students. Then everything goes even more south when Aria finds out Ezra brought himself a date to the event, Nicole from the Habitat of Humanity! 

WAAAH WAAAH WAAAAAAAH.....

After Aria starts to talk to Clark as a way to get away from her teacher ex and his new girlfriend, we find out Clark is acting really fucking weird. Some things Aria is bringing up it going right over Clark's head and it's like he never even did those things ever before... is Clark up to something he shouldn't be?? Hmmm... Clark is the most creepiest fool ever, and Aria is legit falling for his criminalistic acts hook, line and sinker! What the hell is wrong with you, Aria?! Ugh, why can't you see this man is fooling you?! Anyways, the woman announces the show is about to begin and Aria is pumped you guys! She's ready to display her photo's for everyone, for the world to see!!! 

Are the lights ready?

Camera's ready to snap their lenses?

Well let's get ready foooooor....

What's this? Why, it looks like Charles fucked up Aria's gala! When we return to the scenes, Tanner reveals that Charles got in contact with her I guess and got pissed because of the pictures. Okay I totally understand this scene now. Basically when the Liar's were rushing the get the fuck out of the dollhouse, Charles knew Linda was on the case and after the Liar's escaped the dollhouse, Charles wanted revenge on Linda because he thinks she took the Liar's, his dolls, from him. Ahh, good ol' Charlie D! And the more Linda exposes Charles, the more he can expose her and her past to everyone in Rosewood to ruin her career! And you guys, oh my fucking God, Ella is on a RAMPAGE!! She is so fucking sick and tired of this fucking asshole running around, threatening Aria, harassing the girls, that she literally jumps on Linda Tanner and rips her a fucking new one!!!

This is Holly's best mother fucking scene in this entire fucking series! I love watching her beast her acting skills!! Ahhhh!!!

Honestly, I'm with Ella right now. I have no idea what Tanner is fucking doing. Like, how the fuck does she work? How does her head work? Does she have everything figured out already and just isn't doing shit about it? I'd be just as pissed as Ella right now if I was in this situation. 

Alison decided to take Hanna's profession and now she's snooping through the Rosewood Precinct. She's almost busted by some cops, but luckily escapes unscathed. 

Back at the Gala, police are taking Charles' pictures and placing them into the evidence hold. Emily's confused by Hanna's way of dealing since Emily and Spencer can't look at the pictures while Hanna is staring at the pictures... it's weird. The person who takes care of the cars finally appears and Spencer's happy to hightail it out of there with Hanna and Em in toe. If I was in Hanna, Spencer and Emily's situation I would definitely not be looking at an oversize picture of me naked on a fucking metal slab. But then again, that's just me. Suddenly Hanna spots Jason's twin across the fucking street!! What is Rhys doing here?! 

Back with Ali, she finally found the right room where all the #CharlieDEvidence is! As she enters, there are two boards with a ton of information on them, a list of all the dead people who died in Rosewood, pictures of Andrew Campbell, Jessica DiLaurentis, Kenneth, etc etc. Alison finds a box of stuff and on top is a baby rattle. When Alison picks it up to investigate... She's busted by Tanner.

WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAHHHHH

A short scene shows Spencer, Emily and Hanna having followed Rhys to a creepy old abandoned warehouse. Eww, what could this place be? I'm scared to find out... ~insert shudders here~

Back with Alison and Tanner, Tanner is grilling Alison trying to dish out a lesson, and I actually expected Alison to sit down, cross her legs, and offer a seat to Tanner. Admit it, she would totally do this exactly back in Season 3 or 4. I really do miss the old Alison DiLaurentis. I guess Alison confuses Tanner by saying the baby rattle Alison found was hers, and she has a huge set she got  from her Godparents after she was Christened. I don't know whether or not they're trying to make Alison look more guilty than she already is by breaking into the precinct. They obviously set this scene up for Alison to try to get answers about Charles, but I bet Marlene put some stupid ass clue on the boards linking something to the identity of A or whatever. Anyways, Tanner takes Lorenzo's key card and Alison leaves the room. 

This next scene was one of my favorite scenes in this episode and it's an Ezria scene. If you know me well, you know I HATE HATE HATE Ezria, but you know the scene is good if I think it's good! Okay so Aria is hanging outside the gallery when Ezra comes outside and sees her. They talk about Ezra's date-not-so-date Nicole and all that stuff and the couple are obviously jealous of each other. Aria talks about how they were drugged when A took the photo's and she shares how she desperately wanted to close her eyes and go back before A started so she could be back in Iceland, cold as hell, She describes what it was like to be in the morgue, what it felt like, her skin against the cold slab, and she confesses she still feels the cold all the time. 

Honestly, best performance by Lucy Hale. I fucking loved that scene.

While Spencer, Emily and Hanna are waiting for Rhys and stuff, OMFG CLARK APPEARS!! So Clark and Rhys knows each other? Are they partners in crime? Honestly, I hope they're a couple! I would ship Rhys and Clark so hard! 

We're back or Lornezo's and Alison sneaks back inside. They make us think she got away with it, but NOPE!!! Lorenzo busted her ass! He's really pissed Alison used him to get to the evidence of Charlie D. Was it all a plan? Did Ali care for Lorenzo at all? She made him soup, she folded his laundry all for what? To be used and tossed away. Honestly they kinda made Lorenzo act like a creepy mother fucker for a few seconds, it was weird. You know how they make everyone look mega suspicious(COUGHANDREWCOUGH) and they make you believe Lorenzo is A or Rhys is A(give me a fucking break, whoever believes this fool is A is a fucking idiot) blah blah blah you know the story. Lorenzo wishes she'd have asked him to find out this stuff, and Alison outright point blank admits that even if Lorenzo forbade it, she would have stolen the pass anyway to get what she wants. Is the old Ali D returning to our screens? Only time will tell. 

The next scene was a really awesome and refreshing scene! Ella stopped by at Ashley's and they start talking about what happened with the emails, school board and the prom and then they talk about what happened tonight at the Gala.  Ella starts to cry and she puts her foot down right there on the Marin kitchen floor! She and the other parents has to do what is right and catch his monster who's torturing their girls! No more games, no more running! A is going down! While Ella is explaining, who happens to be spying on the two mothers from outside the window? Why it's our friendly Red Coat!! 

Spencer, Emily, and Hanna goes to Aria's house where they confess that they followed Rhys to an abandoned doll factory where he met up with Clark. The Liar's thinks they're working for A or are A, whatever, and then the scene transitions to Tanner going over the footage from the gala. It shows a person who looks like Jason and Rhys swapping out photo's with the photo's from the Dollhouse. Oooh, this is getting good!!

As we end this amazing surprising episode, A is seen stocking up and packing supplies in the back of a limousine. A tuxedo from Silver Moon, various different tools, some rope, tape and twine, and six syringes! Who are the syringes for? The Game Over, Charles promo stills were released today, so I might have an idea who they're for!! Anyway, Red Coat gives A two tickets to The Enchanted Forest Rosewood prom. Will A and Red Coat be going to prom together or is the second ticket from someone else? Who is Charles? Who is Red Coat? Are Red Coat and The Black Widow the same person? Are they different? Who's the one REALLY in charge? Charles or Red Coat? The Enchanted Forest Six to Midnight Prom is just six days away, and I think we all know we can't miss a good dance.

Because let's be honest, when did any Rosewood dance end up good for the Liars?

See you soon Readers, and don't forget to dish me out a comment.

Kisses!
