Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 16 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT Hot Tubs & Hand Grenades
By Jacob Clifton | Season 3 | Episode 14 | Aired on 01.08.2013
The only thing I noticed in the actual writing was Alison bragging about how Byron was just a little bunny whom she was blackmailing, and this particular day was hoping to squeeze just and I quote a "little sumpin' sumpin'" more. I love Alison DiLaurentis, sure, but seeing those words in her dumb handwriting made me want to smack her. What a little asshole.
SUMPIN' LIKE A FLASHBACK
Ali: "Department Chair! Congrats. Now, how about a little sumpin' sumpin'."
Byron: "I have no more money for your extortions. I am tapped. Dry. And I also stopped fucking Meredith like months ago."
Ali: "Yeah, I'm sure Ella wouldn't mind then."
Byron: "If I give you more money, she'll notice!"
Ali: "Then use your big stupid brain to figure sumpin' sumpin' out. I got all the time in the world. I'll be back from Hilton Head by Labor Day, flying a private plane like most teenagers probably could, if they tried."
Byron actually scares her, with his vibes and grabbing, which is impressive considering the only other person who ever scared her was Paige McCullers, Actual Psycho. Not even wild-eyed Mona, not even getting texts from A -- her own frigging ghost -- seemed to freak her out, but those two? Hmm.
FOUND WOODS
Aria: "Well, now that it's actually about me for once, I am at a loss."
Spencer: "Emily, put this diary in your jacket. We can read it later, or maybe burn it."
Emily: "Maybe we should just respect this dude's privacy?"
Spencer: "Maybe you should respect the chain of authority."
Aria: "Maybe both. I'll just rip out the pages willy-nilly, in a jagged crazy way that would tip even Harold off to what we just did."
Harold: "Who are you and why are you here?"
Spencer: "See, that stings. I can get why you'd forget Emily, but I had a whole conversation with you. I thought we bonded."
Harold snatches the pages out of Aria's hands like he knows they are important, and then they all stand around being scared for no reason. Toby shows up, says like three words, and they all run away like he saved them. From this guy that is just standing there. Aria manages to make snatching those pages back seem like a brutal assault somehow; I think it's the feral fuck-you glare in her eyes as she does it. It's frankly chilling.
Liars: "Oh my God, Toby. Thanks for walking down that short flight of stairs into a situation that was not dangerous in any way except we're all being huge drama queens."
