Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 37 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT What We Pretend To Be
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 11 | Aired on 08.20.2013
Much better to stack the deck in your favor and create an environment for success, don't worry so much about character-building. Because the world is going to punch you in the boob either way. You don't need to worry about that. It is one of the best things about the world. But even still I think Alison would prefer the ol' Vonnegut: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
Or in Emily's case: Get really good at swimming, and you'll always have a foundation.
Alison: "I can do it for you, I love doing proxy breakups. This one guy the bitch didn't tell me he had a gun! Which he pulled on me. Anyway, yadda yadda. You don't know him, he doesn't go to our school. Anymore."
BACKFLASH
Emily: "I have just received an important message from my reliably unreliable memory that Alison once had a gun pulled on her by a man somebody wanted to break up with. I think probably the people involved were CeCe and Wilden, based on that's what's happening right now."
Spencer: "What are you talking about?"
Emily: "In that Cape May picture he has his arms around both of them. But what if it wasn't about him and Alison at all -- what if it was about CeCe? And she's dating both him and Jason DiLaurentis, whom you know as your half-brother. And then they both end up back in Rosewood, and she's busy living under houses and flying planes wearing various costumes, and he won't leave her alone -- being, as we know, very determined at times -- and so she had to kill him. What if the Ashley of the Wilden-stalking scenario was actually or also CeCe?"
And then we can trace that back to the beginning of the show, all his sketchy obsessive manipulative adorable shit, because both the person covering up Ali's murder and possibly the person solving it would have him in their pockets. Right?
Spencer: "Then why was Alison pregnant and crying to CeCe about it that summer?"
Emily: "Shut up, Hanna... Wait, sorry. Force of habit."
I'm feeling no closer to understanding Redcoat/A+ at all, and despair I ever will, but what else is new and I think this CeCe story might be just an actual honest moment between us and the show. Actually, yeah: One of the last times we saw either of them Darren was cramming CeCe into his car, and she didn't look pissed -- she looked scared. The opposite of how Melissa described it. So maybe there's something to th... OMG!
