"TeamPLL, watching last night&amp;#39;s episode was difficult for me because I&amp;#39;m staying at a friend&amp;#39;s apartment in L.A. and she doesn&amp;#39;t have cable. I know, right? What is this? TLC&amp;#39;s Being Amish? I kid, of course, but it was really hard to wait until I could find the episode to watch. But it was worth it! While &amp;quot;Love ShAck Baby&amp;quot; didn&amp;#39;t really give us any answers, it had a juicy reveal about Hanna and was genuinely interesting. I just really hope that once we find out who &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; really is&amp;#8212;and why he or she is doing what s/he&amp;#39;s doing&amp;#8212;it will be worth the wait. In the meantime, let&amp;#39;s talk about what went down last night.\nPinterestFacebookThe Liars are searching for clues about how to protect Ali, and they hope to find them in her diary.\nWe pick up where we left off last week with the Liars looking through Ali&amp;#39;s diary. She wisely changed all the names so that no one would know who she was talking about unless they already knew what the true stories were:\n\nDamn, Ali! I&amp;#39;m sorry for doubting your shenanigans all this time. It seems you&amp;#39;re smart as hell, so I must bow down and pick my brains up off the ground.\nAnyway, the Liars are pretty pissed at Hanna for not showing them this diary as she soon as she found it. Hanna says sorry, but the girls respond the way I do when someone corrects my pronunciation of the &amp;quot;Zagat&amp;quot; in Zagat Guide:\n\nIn short, the Liars are not feeling Hanna right now. Thankfully, the tension in the room dies down long enough for them to come up with a plan: They each will take turns reading the diary in hopes of figuring what is written about them and then will meet up and piece everything together. Emily opts to go first.\nWe see Em at home. She&amp;#39;s fallen asleep while reading the diary, and her bedroom window is open. #Timeout. Y&amp;#39;all, for reals, if &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; comes through this window and steals the diary, I will do the black-girl version of Mark Wahlberg carving &amp;quot;Nicole 4 Eva&amp;quot; into his stomach from the movie Fear a.k.a. I will rip both my weave and my natural hair out of my head. Luckily, I don&amp;#39;t have to do that because instead of the diary being stolen, Ali appears:\n\nAli says she misses Em and knows that she hurt Em the most, and she doesn&amp;#39;t know who&amp;#39;s after her. Ali then gets tender for a moment and is happy that Em still wears the bracelet. Wait. Is this a dream or real life?!?!\n\nTurns out Em was dreaming (boo!), but when she wakes up, she notices that the bracelet isn&amp;#39;t on her hand anymore and was placed back in her jewelry box. So maybe she wasn&amp;#39;t? My brain can&amp;#39;t handle all this confusion right now, and I&amp;#39;m in desperate need of some aspirin to fix this:\n\nHeadache gone! OK, so Ashley is getting ready to start her new day at her job and checks in on Hanna. Haleb is still over. Sad.\nSpencer visits Toby, who tells her that her dad canceled the meeting the two of them had scheduled for that day. She&amp;#39;s relieved and instead of this scene being over, they talk about Radley:\n\nBack at Rosewood High, we see Ezra be creepy and spy on Em while Aria puts something in Ez&amp;#39;s school desk and tells Spence that she was just returning a pen:\n\nSpence calls B.S. on this lie and says it&amp;#39;s obvious that Aria still loves Ez. Aria&amp;#39;s like, &amp;quot;But I&amp;#39;m with Jake,&amp;quot; which makes me go:\nEnough is enough with this Jake garbage.\nHanna watches from afar as Em, Aria, and Spence discuss the diary. Just as Em is about to pass the diary off to Aria, Hanna grabs it and says Spence should go next. I don&amp;#39;t know about you, but that awkwardness caused me to do this:\n\nWe then zoom out and see that Ez is watching them. Eep! And then we return to the Liars: Hanna tells the girls that she and Caleb are over and doesn&amp;#39;t want to talk about it.\nThe Liars resume reading the diary, and in one part Ali describes the Busy Bee Inn, a place that Aria used to go to with her family. Hanna thinks they should go to the inn, and the girls agree. #Teamwork:\n\nBefore heading to the inn, Em has to go to work at the coffee shop. As she&amp;#39;s putting her paycheck in her bag, she finds a note that reads: &amp;quot;I want to come home. Meet me at our spot.&amp;quot; It&amp;#39;s from Ali, right? No, it&amp;#39;s probably from &amp;quot;A,&amp;quot; who is Ezra, I think. Cut to five minutes later and I&amp;#39;m still trying to figure this out. My brain is like:\n\nEm leaves to go to the spot. Meanwhile, Aria visits Ez in his classroom. She cancels on their plan to meet up, and Ez asks to meet up tomorrow and that the previous night felt right. Then the two discreetly have finger sex for five seconds\nbefore Aria exits the room. Ez gets back on his laptop and is listening to audio of Ali saying that she needs help and wants to escape. So maybe Ez is not &amp;quot;A?&amp;quot; Ugh. My brain is officially a cloud of farts. I have no idea what&amp;#39;s going on, but what else is new.\nSpence is at home and leaving a voice mail for her dad. That&amp;#39;s when she overhears Papa Hastings and Mama DiLaurentis talking in hushed tones in the kitchen. Mama D tells Spence that she was just there to ask PH for legal advice in her divorce. Um, yeah right, but OK.\nMoving on: Travis (remember the guy who gave Hanna an envelope full of cash to help pay for Ashley&amp;#39;s legal expenses) sees Hanna at the coffee shop. He tells her that according to the news reports, it&amp;#39;s believed that CeCe was paid to kill Wilden:\n\nBack to Spence and PH. He tells her the reason that he canceled on Toby is because he didn&amp;#39;t know how to tell him that his mom&amp;#39;s death was an accident, so no one from Radley is at fault. My reaction:\n\nEm is at the meeting spot, takes the bracelet off, puts it on the rock, and leaves. Meanwhile, Spence confronts Mama DiLaurentis at the coffee shop and tells her to stay away from her dad and find another lawyer, preferably one she hasn&amp;#39;t slept with:\n\nThe Liars then meet up and head to the Busy Bee Inn while Ez goes to see Ashley and tells her that if Hanna doesn&amp;#39;t catch up on her schoolwork, she&amp;#39;s going to fail. Then Ashley gets a phone call and Ez sneaks upstairs to Hanna&amp;#39;s room:\n\nHe looks through her purse to find the diary, but it&amp;#39;s not there. He goes to her laptop and starts typing.\nBack to the Liars: Aria is reading a section in the diary about a cradle robber, and this clearly makes Hanna uncomfortable. Before they notice this, the Liars end up at a dead end and the car dies. No! Aria tells them they should wait for Travis and his tow truck to pick them up by hiding out at her uncle&amp;#39;s cabin, which as we all know, is really Ez&amp;#39;s cabin. I don&amp;#39;t like this:\n\nAs the Liars are walking to the cabin, Spence asks Hanna about the missing page regarding the Cradle Robber story, and Hanna denies taking the page out of the diary. And then we cut to Ezra driving in the rain. To the cabin??? Where the Liars are headed? You guys, seriously I\n\nThe Liars get inside the cabin and Hanna tells the girls that the Cradle Robber story is about her and Aria&amp;#39;s little brother Mike!!!!!:\nThe Liars take the news fine, but Hanna&amp;#39;s embarrassed and goes outside into the woods. Em follows. Meanwhile, back at the cabin, Spence and Aria go to the linen closet to get blankets and they get locked inside the room. ARGH!!!\n\nI mean, when are these girls going to learn that splitting up and going into the woods or shady rooms is only a recipe for trouble? Anyway, they look through the keyhole and see that &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; is inside the house, so they open the window and scream for help. Hanna and Em get back and open the door and discover that Ali&amp;#39;s diary is gone:\n\nY&amp;#39;all, I told you that if the girls left the diary unattended and it gets stolen, I was going to rip my hair out, didn&amp;#39;t I?\nAnyway, they open the door to the cabin, and it&amp;#39;s Travis. He takes the Liars back to town and then he and Hanna are at her house. She offers to give him cash for his troubles, and he holds her hand. She walks away and he follows her outside to the patio. Oh, no! Hanna tears up, which makes me:\nSpence comes homes and Papa Hastings tells her that if she doesn&amp;#39;t knock it off with the Mrs. DiLaurentis stuff, she&amp;#39;s going to ruin the family. She goes to Toby&amp;#39;s and asks him if she can stay at his place for a while.\nAcross town, we&amp;#39;re with Aria and Ezra. They&amp;#39;re on the phone and tell each other &amp;quot;I love you,&amp;quot; which makes me react the way I do when my friends want all of our New Year&amp;#39;s resolutions to be &amp;quot;exercise more&amp;quot;:\n\nShe hangs up and chats with Em. Then the two get a text message from &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; thanking them for the tip a.k.a. leading them to Busy Bee Inn. And that&amp;#39;s when Em realizes that because they decoded all the stories in the diary and &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; stole it, they basically gave Ali to &amp;quot;A&amp;quot;:\n\nWe then end on &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; typing at a laptop and see that he was the one who rigged Em&amp;#39;s GPS, so the girls would end up at a dead end near Ez&amp;#39;s cabin:\n\nAlrighty, what did you think about last night&amp;#39;s episode? Do you think Ez is definitely &amp;quot;A&amp;quot;?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
