Not What I Expected.

Warning: Spoilers
I have been waiting for this episode since the day Troian posted a picture of things getting weird on PLL. But this episode was a letdown.

The episode opens with Hanna discovering that her mother is bald!..... But Alas! It turns out to be a nightmare, which is a good thing. Ella gets attacked by Bees in her car and she just sits there waiting for the bees to sting her! How stupid! Mona is still MIA for 3 episodes and now Melissa's also gone. And guess who returns! Mike, Aria's troubled little brother!I don't know why but the scene between Aria and Mike was my favorite scene of the whole episode.

Spencer and Emily ends up in a college led my the number Tippi gave them! Spencer plans on discovering who Alison used to call and talk with and so she visits a sorority party. Meanwhile Emily attempts to get into the college.At the party, Emily speaks with a member of the sorority about how to apply. She notices a strange paddle and mask and asks the member about it. The member replies that it belonged to Mrs. Grunwald, the sorority's house mother who had gotten fired years ago. She says that nothing could get past her and that she knew when girls sneak out before they even got the idea of it themselves. Hanna shows up at the party and shows the gun she found in her mother's closet to Spencer. She speculates it is her dad's missing gun and tells Spencer that she wants to hide it so that if the police question her dad, he will truthfully not know where it is. Spencer tells her to wait there while she goes to look for Emily.

Spencer goes upstairs and into the hallways, looking for Emily. Instead of finding Emily, she finds a secret door to a hidden room built into the wall. It is empty except for a disconnected phone and a radio. She uses the phone to call Aria, proving that it is indeed the phone that Ali had been calling the summer she went missing. While on the phone with Aria, Spencer notices scratch marks in the room.

Hanna decides not to wait any longer and leaves the party, heading for the woods. In the woods, Hanna begins to bury the gun but is suddenly surrounded by police officers. She is put in handcuffs and is hauled away, while Spencer and Emily look on. They get a text from A, which suggests that A called the police on Hanna.

In the final shot, A pours honey into some tea and takes out a dusty photo. A wipes away the dust and we see a picture of Carla Grunwald, the house mother of the sorority. And guess what! Carla Grunwald looks a lot like Jessica DiLaurentis! What do you think this means? It was a good episode but not as epic and full of actions as I hoped it will be! Hope the next one's better!

BEES?

A PUT BEES IN A CAR. WHY WOULD THAT WORK HOW WOULD A DO THAT. DID THE DIRECTER WAYCH WICKER MAN AND THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. WHY WAS THERE A POV OF US AS BEES. BEEEEEEEEES? Also why were those greeters singing like they were in a mansoid cult.

That being said I think the series/season is getting better. Acting ok, carmwork is ok. The writing for domestic life is fairly good but they're getting tripped up on the mystery plot line. Costumes are a bit loud but I guess that's how it was. The editing is ok (no weird camera cuts besides the bee scene and I did miss the first scene with the hair cause I had to go to the little pirates room to take a wee-wee).

Good to see mike I guess. Causal writing was a bit weird but I guess in character but I think the writing for arias mom was very good and a interesting plot line. Also the sorority house being a sort of charecter was something I really liked and hope they incorporate through out the season. Chad Lowe looks (Bryan) like Ryan Gozling, Christolf Waltz and Rob liée fused together in a nice way. Background characters/actors are the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
