Right out of the gate, this girl is more impressive than sheвЂ™s been in forever. But before that happens, Spencer is able to have a respectful, normal conversation with Caleb, as exes who want things to be fine, followed by a quality make-out session with the only cop in Rosewood who isnвЂ™t actively terrible at his job. Spencer has a really sweet date with Marco - she learned some surprising stuff about him, while we learned some totally not-surprising stuff about her, like that she was the ping-pong champion at her all-girlsвЂ™ horseback riding camp - so of course Yvonne had to go and die and ruin everything. Someone in the wardrobe department agrees with me it is not an accident that when these two bump into each other at the Brew, theyвЂ™re wearing almost the exact same shade of heather gray. If there were any justice in this brutal world, Spencer and Officer Marco Elevator would be ping-ponging off into the sunset when those final credits roll. (Sidebar: Do we think the PLL writers swiped that reference from all my recaps by referring to Radley as VoldemortвЂ™s Dickensian Orphanage for the Morally and Mentally Afflicted? A power ranker can dream!)ДЄs IвЂ™ve said before, I am trying to brace myself for the inevitable: This show is going to force everyone back together with their high-school sweethearts, even in cases where it makes absolutely no sense. In just one episode, this suburban Seneca Crane taps into HannaвЂ™s why-me complex - as Aria wisely points out (yes, even Aria was smart this week), the game is unfair by design, to вЂњkeep us off-balanceвЂќ - as well as CalebвЂ™s inability to not get involved in HannaвЂ™s problems and SpencerвЂ™s stress over being вЂњsome sort of Dickensian foundling.вЂќ A haunted Tamagotchi torturing Spencer with its infant howls? That my-size Chuckie with the Hanna face that literally gushed blood when Hanna cut on the dotted line with the knife straight out of the Emoji Weapons Collection? So disgusting, 10/10. IвЂ™ve got to hand it to the Milton Brother from hell: It knows exactly what is going to make each of these Liars completely bonkers and deeply upset. The competition for the top spot in this weekвЂ™s Pretty Little Power Rankings was the fiercest itвЂ™s been since the five-year jump. This was an hour of legitimately impressive quips - even Emily got in a few crackling one-liners - and barely any time wasted on aggressively boring, forgettable, or dispensable characters. This is what I was expecting these final episodes to look like: urgent, snappy, an excellent balance of hook-uppery among couples of which I approve, gruesome-slash-terrifying antics from A, and lots of Scoobying around to solve the mystery. Troian Bellisario as Spencer, Shay Mitchell as Emily, Lucy Hale as Aria.ДЄs the journalists who want to prove theyвЂ™ve read all the hippest longform like to say on Twitter: THIS.
