PLL Recap - 4x12 - Now You See Me, Now You Dont



Good evening my fellow PLL fans!!! Welcome to a VERY SPECIAL edition of Katrina Recaps!! This will be one of the most amazing recaps I have ever written! THREE YEARS, I have been suspicious of this new A member since the Pilot. So without further ado, we will begin my greatest absolute amazing recap EVER!!!


Ignore everything above. Waste of shit. Enjoy the recap though!!


We begin with the Previously On Pretty Little Liars. It's nothing new. We all saw the marathon so we know all that's going on. Going onto the episode...






Wilden is still Dead Dead Dead 




We begin this episode with our Liars watching a news report on Wilden. Someone had stepped up and gave our favorite-not-so-favorite Police Department information on Wilden's murder. After Spencer's doorbell rings, she receives a package addressed to all the Liars. Inside, Magic 8 balls are revealed. Each is assigned to one Liar. Let me just say, the Magic 8 balls were a nice touch. Especially since -A had persona






Magic 8 Balls. Creative A, aren't they? lized messages put into them. "If she goes free, you'll hear from me. Kisses -A" was the message. Classic A move, I love it! Liar Spencer looks at her three besties with wide eyes, "Or she just declared World War A!" Then BAM!!! We're put into the opening credits!! 





We return to the show with Travis standing in front of the witness window. Several women and Ashley Marin is standing in line. Travis is suppose to identify Ashley because he told the cops she is totally innocent from killing Wilden. First of all, HE HAS THE MOST SEXIEST EYES I HAVE EVER FUCKING SEEN!! SERIOUSLY THEY GLOW! AND THEY'RE






THEM EYES!!! CRYSTALLY! And his pupils are WIDE! They're fucking ADORABLE!! 





At school, Ezra is going on and on about MacBeth. I remembered when I read MacBeth in my Senior year of High School and let me tell you youngins, it was boring as HELL! Ugh. Anyway Aria has her hands folded together and she looks so interested in Ezra talking. Ugh. It's so sickening. After class, Ezra thanks Aria for staying with him last night(Remember the scene where CeCe was revealed in a black hoodie? Yeah that scene) and Aria totally FRIEND ZONED HIM!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! "I was happy to... as a friend." PURE PURE PERFECTION!! Aria just got some points






FRIENDZONED! from me! She gets a call from Jake and something seems... off. She wanted to go to a poetry session thingy at the Brew, but I think Jake made some lame ass excuse. Seriously, Jake's gonna be THAT type of guy? No. No no no. Ezra comes out of his classroom after Aria hung up, too. Was he listening in on her conversation?? 





We're now lead into the police station where Hanna, Caleb and Ashley reside. Caleb and Ashley dives into conversation how they're proud of each other. Caleb is the perfect boyfriend and protects Hanna whenever he can! And Ashley makes sure she does whatever the fuck she can to protect her daughter! Yay Caleb! Yay Ashley!! Yay yay yay all around! The DA comes out and confronts Ashley and Hanna. The charges were.... DROPPED!!! Ashley is a free woman! She did NOT kill Det. Wilden! YAY!!!! Caleb and Travis gives each other a smirk and we all know what kinda smirk it is... "Travis I, Caleb Rivers, give you permission to start the Tanna ship! Keep her safe!" Bye, Caleb! Have fun in Ravenswood!! 



At the High School, Paige is worried about what CeCe can do. Honestly, the more I have to fucking get tortured by Marlene, the more I come to realization that Paige isn't A. She'll never be A, and I'll tell you why... She simply isn't worthy enough to be A. I truly believe now that she honestly cares for Emily and stuff. So... props to Paige...I guess. (I still will NEVER be a Paily fan!)


Spencer is seen at her place, voice mailing Toby. She's worried as fuck about her boy and wants to know where he is. "WHERE ARE YOU TOBY?! LOOK I KNOW WE HAD A FIGHT LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO AT THE HOEDOWN BUT C'MON BRO CALL ME!" By the way she called Toby like...4 fucking times. And "CALL ME BACK BIOTCH!" seriously why isn't this bitch in school?! At least keep your damn perfect attendance, Spence. Ugh.





At the Marin House, the Liars are happy that Ashley can finally go on a date!! She's still seeing Ted, and it's official. Teshley is obviously happening and they'll end up getting married. Pastors can get married right? Right. After Ash leaves, the girls goes into the kitchen and is about to dive into the Forbidden Food...but then they're interupted by the doorbell. Remember a long time ago, I posted a recap about how actors never ever ever eats food during scenes? Here's another




OMG ITS MONA!! AHHHH!!! example, folks! Hanna goes to get the door and sees a package addressed to the Liars. They opened it up and it's a coffin with... DUN DUN DUN MONA DOLL!!!! Remember the last episode with A when he or she took the arrow and stabbed a Liar Doll? It was Mona's!! "Hanna wins, so Mona loses. Find her before the cops or they'll think you did it. Kisses -A" This bitch has no sympathy, I fucking LOVE IT! 


Once we return, there's BREAKING NEWS: CECE DRAKE is wanted for the murder of Det. Wilden. Newscaster say whaa? I knew she was A, but a crazy murderer? Pssh...Makes total sense. Apparently Mona's in French Club so Emily's gonna see if Mona shows up there, and Spencer's gonna make a trip to Wrens because Hanna couldn't get any info on Mona from Radley since it was Privileged.  



Did CeCe kill Wilden? 

Spencer goes to Wrens house and she see's it totally almost empty. Umm what?? Then she see's Jenna's car in the parking drive way and see's Shana at a window. At least... I think she did. I hope so cause it was so damn obvious. 


At French club, the new Jackie character is a total French BITCH! She perfectly knows well Paige and Em aren't fucking good at French yet the arrogant little SNATCH continues her French. Paige actually earned some points from me because she totally snapped Jackie out. Bitch, listen to her!! She so did. Mona called Jackie earlier and told her she was gonna come. Jackie had actually thrown the French party for Mona's welcoming back party thing. So so sweet. 


At the Brew, Toby is sitting on a couch and he takes out a box. It's filled with cards and memorabilia from his mama. This was a sad scene and I felt so fucking bad for the Tobes. There was even a locket with her picture and his picture in it. It was truly a heart wrenching scene. When he goes downstairs, assuming it



Toby and Marion :( was gonna be for air(Which BTW, Toby lives above the Brew. Lucky bastard! <3 I love you Tobes!) he spots Little Miss Shana filling out papers. When Shana goes to leave, she drops a piece of pink paper and walks out of the place. Toby goes to pick it up and it reveals it's a Speed Demon Express Courier Service paper. It seems that Wren and Melissa are moving in with each other. Um. Say wha? Melissa's seriously going back to Dr. Brit? Oh my lawd, Madea help us. For some fucking reason, Tobes puts on his A Face and calls Spencer. UMM WHAT?! BOY YOU GOT 5 MISSED CALLS FROM SPENCER AND JUST BECAUSE YOU FIND A SLIP SAYING MELISSA AND WRENS GONNA MOVE IN TOGETHER YOU CALL SPENCER?! PSSSH BOY PUH LEASE BOO. Spencer asks Spencer like questions and Toby delivers hilarious fucking responses!! "Why would Melissa move in with Wren and not tell me?" "Because he's your ex boyfriend?"  



Look @ them rage eyes!! LOVE THE HAIR! 




Then Spencer asks another question and Toby's like "Because your ex boyfriends moving in with his ex fiancee?" 


And Spencer gives  Tobes the "BITCH DON'T MAKE ME SLAP YOU!" face! It was PRICELESS!! Spencer so deserved that!! Then they get into an argument about how Toby's always going off to Toby Land when the walls close in on him, blah blah blahhhh. The only thing we needed to know was that Spencer was right. As usual. Also lemme be the first to say, I LOVE TOBY'S FUCKING HAIR!!! Whoever did his hair needs to own their own salon. In the end of the scene, Spoby comes to the realization that they still love each other, Spencers always right, and they resolve their issues. Yay day for Spoby!!! <3


At Arias, she's watching this lame ass black and white film while Jake is sleeping blissfully on the couch. 



Ahh I love my Hubby!! honestly think Jake is starting to not care about Aria. I don't think they're gonna last, which is totally fine with me. I know, this might be shocking, but keep reading. It'll all make sense soon, my lovely readers! So Im watching this scene and my fucking god, Jake is mother fucking SEXY!!! He looks so peaceful, his hair is beautiful, his lips are sooo succulent! He is just so fucking adorable!!! God damn he's a sexy god!!! <3 

Outside of Mona's, Haleb is on a stake out. That's basically it. They're watching to see where Mona is. It's not worth recapping. Also I'll just add it in here, I know I have Paige points but this next scene isn't worth recapping either. It's just a lot of "Poor Mona", "Fuck You CeCe" blah blah blah. Aria obviously knew she wasn't getting anywhere with Jake so she went to the Brew to attend Ezra's Poet Club. An Ezria date commences and its so fucking sickening. It's all the same shit, forreal. They begin to talk about literature or whatever the fuck and then we're lead into a fade after fade sequence. All the ships are here basically. Hanna is sleeping with her head on Caleb's heart...no joke... while in the car, Emily is sleeping on Paige's leg while laying on her bed too, Spoby is on the couch having a sensual night. It's nice really. All the ships are totes happy. How sweet. When we go back to Ezria they're still talking and Aria swoops in with




CeCe? Ali? (Def. Ali) the kiss. Honestly, this scene doesn't bother me. And everyone who watched this episode knows why, too. Anyways, as the scene zooms out, Red Coat is seen spying on Ezria. Muahahahahaha!! 

At Spencer's the girls are discussing Mona and where the fuck is she?!? The doorbell rings and -A has sent them a very delicate black box. Its a nice box honestly. Hanna goes in for the Classic Hanna when Spencer tries to find a secret way to open the box. "I'm right, and you're wrong for once Spencer. It's empty." Yeah, it wasn't fucking empty. A sent them a saw with a message about some disappearing act. They quickly deduce that A is talking about something going on in Ravenswood which is no fucking coincidence. Duh. Also, Hanna is trying to desperately figure out the box trick. Spencer is having a good time watching her, too. 






FUCK OFF CLOWN/A!!! Charles? 




At Ravenswood, the Liars attends a magic show. Imma touch bases on some stuff later so you'll have to wait on that, but the Magician chooses Aria to perform his act. Aria freaks out and with hilarious reasons, 


because it was basically a reference to last years Halloween episode. She's all like "No seriously, I don't do boxes." Oh Aria, still remember being shoved in the box on the Halloween -A Train, huh? Anyway Aria goes up to the trick. Spencer assures her everything's gonna be okay. The Magician does his trick an


d Aria successfully disappears. Yay clap for the creepy ass clown!! Then Aria reappears... Boooo Creepy Magician why did you do that? Ugh. Literally that's what I said out loud. He shoulda kept her. First he gave her a wilted rose, but gave her a real one afterwards. Aria walks down and goes back to Spencer and Hanna...but Emily seems to be MISSING!!! OMG EMILY IS GONE!!! Everything bad happens to the bitch in every fucking Finale, fucking god. The girls receives a text, "Leger de main. Kisses Bitches -A" Light of Hand, Bitches!! Emily has been kidnapped!! AHHHHHH OMFG EMILY IS KIDNAPPED!!!! ALERT THE PRESSES, ALERT THE POLICE....(Does Ravenswood even have the police??) ALERT PAM AND WAYNE OMFG THIS IS AHHHHH. Seriously though, everything bad that happens on the Finale happens to Emily. What the mother fuck. Okay so basically Emily is trapped in a coffin or a box like Aria was in the Halloween A Train, and I have to get this little thing out of the way... Emily claimed it was really dark in






ARIA EYES!!! 0_o (Thx RecapEverything!) the box right? Then why the fuck when her phone was pressed against her ear, there was light shining in her fucking face? Cmon Marlene, you can do better than this, I literally have faith in you now! When Spence, Aria, and Han were talking to Em on speaker, Red Coat was spotted running away. 





RC literally lead Spencer, Aria and Hanna to the factory where Emily was. Um what the fuck? And now that I'm actually focusing on whats going on(When RC came onto the screen, my heart literally started beating fast as fuck so it was hard to pay attention) there was holes in the coffin for the chains to hold tight, but the light was on Emily's face... but whatever I'll let it go just because the ending of this episode was mag-fucking-nificent. Red Coat of all people stops the chain saw from going and saves Emily basically. Spencer, Hanna, and Aria actually






AHHH IT'S RED COAT!!! AHHHHHH! saw the fact that RC stopped the saw from slicing and dicing up Emily and then she ran to the left, and then A SECOND RC appears on top of the stairs!! Spencer goes after RC #1 and Aria goes after RC #2 while Hanna stays to help Emily out of the Wooden Coffin of Doomery. This next scene, I gave Aria LOTS of points because she was honestly bad ass at this scene. I of all people am saying this, so if you ask anyone else, and they say "Aria totally sucked at that scene." No she didn't. She used what Jake taught her. Yay!! When Aria and RC were punching each other, Aria made a bad ass move kick and KICKED THE FUCKING MASK OFF OF RC'S FACE!!! RED COAT NUMERO UNO IS CECE FUCKING DRAKE!! CeCe made the most dumbest move ever and she decided to jump on a rope and








KICK HER ASS, ARIA!!! just hang there. The rope totally snapped the fuck off and Aria honestly did try her hardest to save CeCe. CeCe's sleeve ripped off and viewers were lead to believe CeCe fell to her mother fucking death. The girls are comforting Aria and they were gonna call the police, but CeCe resurrected herself and ran off. 





After that was all said and done, Spencer lead the girls to the building Alison(who Spencer confirmed it indeed was Alison) lead her to. Alison is a badass detective, and found A's all new Lair. And let me just say, I love this fucking Lair!! It's so clean and organized and shit. The Lair had about...I think there was six boards. Four boards are dedicated to the Liars, one board is dedicated to Alison, and I think the last one was for all the aquaintances that the Liars and Alison have. I think this A is the most organized mother fucking A I have ever seen. There's pictures






This A is badass. LETDOWN!!!! of EVERYONE, even Mona and Toby. Hanna spots of white diary with a lock on it. It was probably most likely hers. I'm not sure yet. Anyway there was also a computer system with three monitors. They were all for security alarms, the street cameras, police, etc. Seriously I give A props and kudos. The most amazing Lair right here you guys. *applauds*





We're then switched to Shana getting out of Jenna's car. She approaches a B&B and Toby is literally on her tail. Shana gets on the porch and we see Mona knitting!! Hmm interesting. 


We're back at the Lair, and the Liars are looking into EVERYTHING! Hanna has Caleb on the phone, in hopes to help her break into A's security network. Spencer finds A's bank account records and MOTHER HOT FUCKING DAMN!! A IS LOADED!!! They're more loaded than fucking Mona!! Okay maybe New A and Mona are the same. But whatever. And this new A is in cahoots with CeCe Drake. There's this person spying on the Liars too, and they have blue eyes. I'm assuming right now it's Alison just because Sasha has blue eyes. There's these photo albums too all of Alison's pictures. Now let's talk about something right here, right now. 






ALISON!!!! 





This lair is very very different from Mona and Toby's lairs. Mona's lairs consisted of news paper clippings of Alison and mockery photos of Alison(Like the picture of the Alison Devil from the fashion show episode) this lair consists of photos that makes us believe that this A has a more of an obsession with Alison. Not "I want to be you" obsession, its more like I "I need you! You belong to ME, and to ME ONLY!" obsession. Is Hanna right, and is A a guy?? Could this guy have an obsession with Ali?? This bears a whole new question which we'll talk about at the end of this recap. As the Liars continues into their investigation, they learn that A has been stalking Wren as well and that takes Wren out of the A Suspect List. Aria goes over to a whole new board,






A stalking... Alison? a board dedicated to Red Coat. So this new A was stalking Red Coat?? 





After the investigation, the girls exits As lair and is confronted by Carla Grunwald. She tells the Liars they are not invited to the party that was being held tonight. After Carla confirms that Alison is indeed alive and someone was after her(Boardshorts) she tells the Liars they cannot see their best friend. She then tells them and Alison called Carla to help her out, and it was revealed Carla was the one who pulled Alison out of the grave. After Carla tells them her story, she begs them to leave Ravenswood. Basically the reason Ali faked her death was because Boardshorts knew she was pregnant, and I'm assuming knew she loved playing games. More about that will be coming, but let's finish this






Grunwald saved Ali! recap. Caleb is seen boarding a bus to Ravenswood, marking his appearance in both the show and the Halloween Special. Aria comes up with a really good idea honestly. She sees costumes(or knowing how Ravenswoods gonna work, its probably regular ol' Ravenswood clothing) and plans on crashing the Party. I love love LOVE how they're connecting Bring Down the Hoe, Now You See Me, Now You Don't, and the Halloween Special. Each episode is a few days apart in PLL Verse. I fucking love it!! When the Liars enters the shop, Board Shorts/A appears and walks back to his lair. Then...then...then...










I FUCKING KNEW IT SINCE THE PILOT!!! Fuck Off, Ezra IT'S MOTHER FUCKING EZRA FITZ!!!!!!!! EZRA. FUCKING. FITZ!!!! OMMFG ALERT THE PRESSES BECAUSE EZRA IS A!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! EZRA AND ALISON WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP, EZRA KNEW ARIA IN THE PILOT BECAUSE ALISON OBVIOUSLY TOLD HIM ABOUT HER, HIS COVER AS A TEACHER WAS PERFECT SO HE COULD ALWAYS STAY CLOSE TO THE LIARS!!!! 



Fuckin' Waste ^



Now that the recap is finished, let's get into more in depth detail shall we?


Is Ezra really -A? This is a very good question! Is Ezra really A?? He could be, yes, but wouldn't Mona and Toby know about it? Couldn't it be possible that maybe Ezra really isn't on the A team? If we go more into this question remember that in Ezra's lair, he has pictures of Mona and Toby up on the walls. Why would he have pictures of two of his A Team members?? Here's what I think: He's not by any means A. I think he's just a creepy ass mother fucking stalker that's using Aria to get back at Alison because he somehow figured out Ali was still alive. 


Who was the Magician? I think it's pretty obvious it was indeed Ezra. He could have easily followed the Liars to Ravenswood and had CeCe kidnap Emily. He chose Aria for a reason. She even tried to get Ezra to go for Spencer because she developed a fear of boxes(which he totally used against her). How fucking horrible. 


Where does CeCe tie into this? We saw that Ezra paid CeCe twice right? Remember that Ezra is obsessed with Alison, and he knew CeCe was closely similar in looks to Alison. He could have easily paid CeCe to wear not only the Red Coat and Ali mask, but he also paid her to dress up just like Alison. Obsession with a fucking creepy ass thing huh?


I'll DEF. be back for the Halloween Special so sit tight folks!! Oct 22nd is gonna be BADASS!!
