The Night Troian Saved This Godforsaken Show..
First off, AMAZING episode! I’m in awe of how well Troian did with this episode. Generally I’m left screaming at the end of every Tuesday, I was not let down or made angry in the slightest tonight.
Now we’ve all had two weeks off to scream “WE WANTED EMISON, BUT NOT LIKE THIS” But I think tonight’s episode turned the whole situation around completely! Still a totally shitty thing that was done to both of them, but look, they gonna make it work, and it seems they’re going to be happy with it working together. (at the very least until we find out who the father is) Which by the way, do we have any speculation on who the father might me guys? Cause I’m drawin’ a blank on that one. But I would be super pleased if it was Noel, I mean, it’s not likely BUT THINK OF THE CUTE AS A MOTHER FUCKING BUTTON BABY THAT WOULD MAKE! LOLOL
Now, everyone is already saying that the scene at the airport seemed nothing like Spencer, and I agree. Spencer would not pointedly say that she really wouldn’t want detective Fury to hear about this. I think that whoever that is, which I doubt it’s a twin, wanted Ezra to see her there AND wants detective Fury to hear it. So yes, my money is on a mask. But, my money is also on... wait for it... Melissa wearing it. WHAAAAT, I know. But I just couldn’t help but notice them bickering, just like they used to as an engaged couple.
I AM DYING TO KNOW WHAT’S IN THAT DAMN FOLDER! A lot of speculation going on about that too. The most popular and least nonsensical of which is that Aria was never in Iceland, but rather in Radley for that year after Alison’s disappearance. And this would make complete sense right? Her friend had just gone missing from a sleepover that SHE WAS AT NO LESS. And it would make sense that the whole family might rent a home closer to the hospital that she was in. One, to be closer to their child. And two, to keep the wandering eyes of Rosewood from seeing them come and go without Aria for a year. Makes sense. But there must be something more terrifying in that file, something that happened during the hospital stay. The hospital alone is NOT a big enough secret. I’ve revisited the first scene Aria and Ezra meet and it just seems too convenient to me that the man she sits down and talks to happens to have spent some time in the capital of the country she might be pretending to have been in. And FUCK GUYS B-26 Happiness by The Fray. I know it ends up holding much significance for the couple, and I know it has always seemed a bit shady that Ezra just knew the code for this song, but common it’s his college bar and he’s just finished college he probably knows every song in that damn jukebox. What I’m FINALLY noticing are the lyrics to the song. “But you are gone - not for good but for now. And gone for now, feels a lot like gone for good” AND “But let it go, live your life and leave it. Then one day, you'll wake up and she’ll be home...” I wanna focus right now on the fact that Aria loves this song. I THINK these lyrics are powerful, and while they might illustrate to the audience that Ali was never dead, I think they may also imply that Aria knows this, that maybe she knew all along more about WHY she was gone and that she would in fact be back someday.
Now, onto the final bit concerning tonight’s episode before we move on to points from next week’s promo. The video caller. The face is broad, the hair doesn’t appear to be edited, and the speech pattern is too distinct and familiar to NOT recognize as Paige. Is Paige playing for the A-team now too? It’s hard to tell, it seems like that was laid out all too pretty for us to put together. And I cannot see any current reason why Paige would be working with AD, one, she was happy with her new job, and receiving even better offers, she chose to stay for Emily (which were she already involved in this she would already have known all about the pregnancy), AND she seemed pretty content with the answers she got from Ali tonight. All in all, as clearly as that final scene is meant to look and sound like Paige behind the editing, I don’t buy it for a second.
AND NOW. Onto the promo, AWAAAAAAAAY.
I got nuffin’ about most of it. BUT the Lucas bit. This intrigues me. I never truly thought he was capable of being AD. I know I know, he put himself in a very opportune spot with the girls, especially Hanna. And that may have been the plan at first. But I believe that since getting out his treatment of Hanna has been genuine and through regret. I think he played, only a little, after Charlotte's death. He was brought in with the promise of finding out what happened to his friend. This explains the anomaly with HIS fireplace. Nothing after Hanna’s torture happened, and were he still in the game I think more would have been going wrong with such a high tech loft. I think he got himself out after learning that his help resulted in the torture of an innocent. How he got out, I imagine we’ll find out. Maybe HE was in possession of Aria’s file and used it, after all he knows how this game is played. OR he designed the app on the evil phone. Either way, I believe he is guilt ridden over Hanna among other things, as it does appear that some of his own comic book concepts were used in the dollhouse.
I love opinions guys. LAY ‘EM ON ME FANDOM!
NOW I GET TO SLEEEEEEEEP. -E
