Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 64 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT The Busy, Wondrous Labor Day Of Alison DiLaurentis
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 24 | Aired on 03.18.2014
Ezra is right there, so probably they should ask him who his latest A is, but it turns out he was shot in his abdomen and died. So now for sure he is dead, and the Liars are up on this roof with their dead English teacher who knows who A is. Aria throws a massive fit about this, predictably enough.
...But wait, that's not the only person who knows! There is also Jessica DiLaurentis, who is done at the police station and ready to welcome her daughter home, whenever that happens. She could probably tell them, right?
A-TAG
But no! Because as it turns out Jessica DiLaurentis has been murdered, and buried in that same gosh-darn hole in her yard! What an unlucky hole. I would be like, "You know what, I don't even care if we ever have a gazebo. What do you think about xeriscaping this whole area where people keep getting murdered and buried in our yard?" And also when did this happen? At some point right before A hit the road for Philly, I guess, unless A is also a teen airline pilot like so many are these days.
IN ABOUT 80 DAYS FROM NOW
Is Ezra alive? (Duh, obviously.) How will everybody react to the death of Jessica DiLaurentis? Ambivalently I would imagine. How hard is Veronica going to come after Spencer for going to Philadelphia? Will we ever seen Noel Kahn again? What is senior year like for a girl who is a blackmailing zombie? Who is the person that killed the other girl? Who is the other girl? Why was Jessica so into her or them? What is her problem with the wife and daughters of the man she had a bastard with? How many things will Alison DiLaurentis have to apologize for, and is there enough time in the universe for that or will we just hear about it later? Don't you think it's very possible the season premiere will be like, "Oh, while we're stuck up on this roof waiting for the cops, here are thirty thousand million more things that happened that day."
