"I think I spent every single episode of seasons 1-4 jacked up on anxiety and screaming my head off every time a Liar turned a dark corner, but this season, it's been a whole lot less \"Ahhhh!\" and a whole lot more \"Huh?\". Let's digest, shall we?\n\nHanna Goes to the Dark Side\u2014Literally\n\nRuh roh. It became pretty clear that Hanna was having a hard time coming to terms with Ali's return in last week's episode (which is totally legit, you know, because no one should have to run around being called \"Hefty\" for short), but this week's episode definitely cemented things. I mean, the dyeing of the hair was a subtle hint that Hanna is headed to the dark side (get it?), but the ol' leaving-the-dressing-room-wearing-one-more-outfit-than-she-went-in-with? Yep, Hanna's definitely back to her old klepto ways. Which makes this Hannah sad Hannah. Here's hoping Caleb's return next week (!!!) will snap her back to reality. I've got a bad feeling about it, though. Also, don't hate me, but while I'm totally rooting for Haleb, I really like Travis. I kind of want more of him.\n\nAria's Weird\u2014Like, REALLY Weird\u2014Obsession\n\nThere are about a gazillion things wrong with Aria watching Shana's funeral on a constant loop (including the very fact that Shana's funeral is even on the internet in the first place), but I'll stick to the obvious: Girl is about to drive herself cuh-ra-zy with her Shana obsession. I mean, she's already hallucinating seeing Shana's dead body rise out of the coffin. Things can only get worse from there, right?\n\nShe heads to Ezra's to talk things through (wait, since when did he become her go-to?!), and the two wind up playing checkers and almost have a \"platonic\" sleepover. Yeah, OK. Pretty sure things would have gotten not platonic real quick had she stayed.\n\nThe Revenge Squad\n\nThat's what I'm calling Mona's little team, OK guys? The Revenge Squad. Aria picks up a copy of \"The Scarlet Letter\" and immediately enters a trance because\u2014gasp!\u2014the copy once belonged to Shana. Mona, sneaky as she is, really pushes that book on Aria, along with a thousand questions about Shana's whereabouts.\n\nMona's always up to something, but I think she's def got some intel on Shana's death based on her weird interaction with Aria. Seems like The Revenge Squad is kind of falling apart, though. Lucas feels bad for Ali (weird?), and Paige's loyalty looks to be shifting from Mona to Em as Paige warns Em to stay away from Ali because #safety. Em, by the way, admitted she \"doesn't know\" if she still has feelings for Ali. Pretty sure that means she definitely does.\n\nSpencer's Secret Garden\n\nIn the midst of all this craziness\u2014you know, like your front yard being an ACTIVE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION\u2014Mrs. Hastings decides she needs Spencer and her old study buddy Andrew to do some gardening. Real casual, Mrs. Hastings. But props for getting Andrew involved, because my eyeballs really like him. A lot. Anyway, a trip to the Hastings's shed leads leads Spence and Andrew right to a ginormous dead raccoon. (That was a raccoon, right?) Cause of death? Rat poison. Spencer's really up on the household rodent control situation, because she claims the Hastingses have never had a rat problem, and, oh hey, what do you know, rat poison is also good for COMMITTING MURDER.\n\nSpeaking of murder, Spence and Mama Hastings had a chat that was muy interesante. Apparently Mrs. D was finally going to tell the cops that Spencer killed whoever's buried in Ali's grave after years of being blackmailed by Mr. Hastings. I don't know where Mrs. D's bogus story came from (Do you? Did I just forget?), but motive, much? Did Mr. Hastings kill Mrs. D to protect Spencer? Did Mr. Hastings treat his wife to a \"spa getaway\" to keep her suspicions about Mrs. D's murder quiet? And while we're on the topic of Mrs. D...\n\nMrs. D's Cause of Death\n\nWe know how she died! The verdict? Coroner says a drug containing losartan did the deed. Mrs. D took meds for low blood pressure, but the drugs they found in her system help with just the opposite. Shaaady. Wanna know what's even shadier? Spencer's discovery of said drugs containing losartan in her dad's medicine cabinet. Yep. All signs still pointing to Mr. Hastings.\n\nAli's Web of Lies\n\nThe Liars can't keep up with Ali's lies about what all went down when she was \"kidnapped,\" and to be honest, neither can I. That's why when Hanna drove Ali to the doctor, Ali recorded the appointment\u2014lies and all\u2014and instructed the girls to memorize the entire tape. Uh, first of all, that's a terrible idea. And second of all, can a girl get a copy IRL, because I could use a little help over here, too.\n\nThe visit was a routine checkup for the most part (as routine as it can get, I suppose, for a girl with a story like Ali's), until the doc found a monster scar on Ali's leg, which she claims happened when she fell on a rock whilst blindfolded. Nice try, Ali. Hanna didn't buy the tale (did anyone? Didn't think so), and when she confronted Ali about it, all Ali says is that she wishes she'd been blindfolded when it happened because \"once you know something, you can't un-know it,\" or something like that. Guesses, anyone?\n\nThe main takeaway this week? The cause of Mrs. D's death. Who do you think did it? Is Mr. Hastings too obvious? Let's chat in the comments below!\n\nPrevious PLL recaps:\n\nSeason Five, Episode One: We found out Who \"A\" Is, and We're Still Not Over It\n\nSeason Five, Episode Two: We Have a Feeling the Trouble Is Juuust Beginning\n\nSeason Five, Episode Three: Mr. Hastings Is Scary and Our Heads Are Still Spinning"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
