On tonight’s episode of Pretty Little Liars, Holbrook returns and a new suspect is revealed!
This week’s episode of Pretty Little Liars opens up to Spencer, Aria and Emily sorting through old books at The Brew when they spot Mrs. Hastings speaking with Ali’s defense team across the street. Spencer tells them she’s being used as a consultant on the case and it will help them all out in the long run. Hanna shows up moments later just in time to reconcile with Spencer and see Holbrook show up in a police car.
The girls head back inside where they run into an old friend of Mona’s. Her name is Leslie and she felt like she needed to meet Hanna and the girls. She lets on that she was very aware of the different sides of Mona and her relationships, but doesn’t say much else. Spencer suggests to Hanna that they be weary of her since the last time someone came into town claiming to be “an old friend” it was CeCe.
Spencer heads home, and when she gets there she finds her mom’s open briefcase on the counter. She quickly goes through the files in order to find out what information she has on Alison’s case. Inside she finds the list of people who visited Alison and on it was none other than Mike Montgomery.
Hanna meets Caleb down at the police station because they were both called in for questioning after being seen at the storage unit. They witness Holbrook getting suspended because he was accused of tampering with Alison’s lie detector test.
After the questioning, Hanna meets up with Leslie and they head to The Brew where they run into Mike. He seems to be doing all right until he spots Leslie carrying around one of Mona’s books from her room. Mike isn’t having it and has a minor freak out over people taking Mona’s things. When he leaves, Leslie tells Hanna that she recognizes Mike’s voice from a phone call she had with Mona the night before she died. She said he forced Mona to hang up the phone and pay attention to him.
Before we move on we have to touch on the awkward glances and conversation that Emily and Talia have been exchanging all episode. It was cute enough to see Em mooning over her, but things get a little weird when Talia puts her hands around Emily’s waist in the kitchen. We’re not sure what vibe they were going for when they filmed this scene, but it seems a bit like sexual harassment, does it not?
Johnny is installing a mysterious structure at the coffee shop that turns out to be a whisper machine. We can only imagine the secrets that will be shared with this new machine. After he shows it to Spencer, he propositions her with coffee.
Hanna follows through with her promise to bring Mona’s book back when she discovers a secret compartment on the side of the book. She opens it and inside finds a small tape. She takes it to Caleb, and when they listen to it they can hear Bethany Young’s voice. She doesn’t sound happy and is talking about Alison to, presumably, a therapist.
While at home, Aria sees Mike leave the house, so she decides to follow him. He heads to the dock and pulls out a small plastic bag filled with gumdrops that he leaves on the ledge before walking away. Aria goes over to the bag when he walks away, but it was a trap and he catches her standing there. She confronts him about visiting Ali in jail and he just makes a comment about not wanting to take orders anymore. Is he hinting at being on the “A” team?
Spencer comes home from her time with Johnny to find her mother pouring over paperwork. They get in an argument over Johnny and college, but they are interrupted by a call. It was the police and she reveals that the blood test from the storage unit came back and they found a match. We’re sure we’ll have to wait until next week to find out that one.
On her way home, Hanna is pulled over by an unmarked car, but when no one comes to the window she decides to get out of the car. Don’t get out of the car, Hanna, this is Urban Legends 101. Holbrook pops up behind her and grabs her. In addition to being extremely creepy, he also sticks with his story about being on a special assignment. Before the situation gets too ugly, Hanna is able to hit him over the head and get away.
It’s closing time at The Brew and Emily decides to demonstrate to Talia how the installation works. In it she whispers to Talia how great she thinks she is and that she understands how it feels to be lonely. They have a tender and vulnerable moment together and when Talia goes to leave, Emily goes in for the real deal and kisses her.
Hanna meets up with Aria and Spencer and she tells them about what happened with Holbrook. They think Holbrook doesn’t know anything and that Mike is actually the one helping out Alison. Spencer plays the Bethany recording for them and as we listen to it, we can see Mike signing out of prison after visiting Alison.
The episode ends with “A” in Mona’s room looking for the recording and discovering it has been intercepted.
