Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 55 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Day For Night
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 21 | Aired on 02.25.2014
This is a show about giving your heart to people that cannot be trusted, because nobody can ever be completely trusted, which is the existential nausea of being an alive person. But Paige, this particular way she expresses these fears we all have as a function of Emily's storyline, just happens to be the one thing I have zero patience for: Don't tell me what to think, don't tell me how to feel, and don't tell me what to do. Or as my grandmother always put it, We don't fuck thugs.
FIREPLACE
I guess since they already know everything in Ezra's notes it's a good idea to burn the pages in the Montgomery fireplace. At first I thought it was really dumb, but at this point it only reflects poorly on them, not him; it's of no help to have multiple Diaries floating around.
Hanna: "How's it going? Are you verbal yet?"
Aria: "I feel really ... stupid. That's the worst part. That was always going to be the worst part."
Hanna: "Aria, there is no way any of us could possibly have figured this out in a million years. And the reason for that is, it is preposterous."
Aria: "You're not the one that was sleeping with him. Do you get that part? And now he knows so much of our personal shit. We're the Pretty Little Liars, secrets are what we're all about. And I told him all of them, because he was mine. I broke the entire show, and I am an asshole."
Hanna: "He had cameras installed all over Rosewood, honey. You were not his sole source."
Aria: "Right? Like how does he even have that Grunwald tape?"
Hanna: "Tippi maybe? Hey, can I do a quick food run and you promise not to do anything super insane? Ten minutes."
FIELDS
Paige: "So let me get this straight. You knew she was alive? My mortal enemy?"
Emily: "Yeah. But she freaked out about Spencer even, she's on DEFCON-5. I'm gonna pay for even telling you, I'm sure of it. Good thing you forced my hand."
Paige: "Does her family know? Who knows what?"
Emily: "Liars, Shana, A and that's it. That's what secret means."
Paige: "So if A knows she's alive, and you're talking to her, then aren't you in even more horrible danger than usual?"
Emily: "Hanna was saying the same thing. You are asking good questions. I wish I wouldn't keep forgetting how good you are at this."
