Paige: "Fine, I'm taking this to the cops."
Emily: "Honey do you know what A is about? What this show is about? My parents? Literally every storyline I have ever had? Claustrophobia. The thing you are doing to me right now is what my nightmares consist of. Are you fucking for real?"
Paige: "You just need to understand that I am in charge of you and your life and your decisions, Emily! Just give up and let me decorate your room and our fantasy apartment and make all of your decisions for you, until you feel like you're drowning. Remember that time I drowned you? Like that. Or else you are being a bitch."
Emily: "You don't even know how fucking dumped you already are, do you? You think it's a coincidence, this repeating motif of the doll versions of us? That's who you're being right now."
Paige: "I'm going to the cops. I am going to get you and Alison murdered and then you will know who is the boss of you."
Emily: "Jesus, Paige. Fine, Alison's alive and starving and very afraid and I am helping her out by sending her money that already belongs to her, from her various grifts."
I was hoping for crazy, wild-card Paige. But this is just straight-up bullshit awful Paige. This is the Paige that Alison wanted to destroy, for reasons we still don't know, but now I kind of feel like we do. Thank God the actress is as magnetic and sympathetic as she is, to even pull it off, because if a guy ever pulled that shit on me, hoo boy. "But why are you lying to me and going places without me?" Because you literally cannot be trusted with the truth, and therefore we were never really dating. Infantilize me like that, you're no different than Ezra Fitz.
I mean, who are the people. Maya sucked, but kind of glamorously. Toby sucks, but in an understandable way. Hanna's first little boyfriend was a homosexual. Caleb, nice kid, not very dependable. Mona's a freakin' psycho from a higher dimensional universe that to her we are just like ants; Wren is so scary I don't even know what his deal is. Karate Jake and Travis are perfect, but that is absolutely the only point of either of them. Shana and Jenna are Mata Haris that will sleep with you for spy reasons. CeCe Drake is a skinwalker that will trade souls with you if you are not careful, and cannot be killed. All men over the age of twenty, or under the age of twenty, are rapists, or at least will rob you blind. Noel Kahn I can't even talk about right now.
