Mona: "You know what you should do the next time you are seducing Caleb Rivers?"
Hanna: "I know that I would rather die than hear you talk about that."
Mona: "Here's what you do..."
This weird sexual undercurrent with Mona, that's new. I mean, she's always been clingy and extremely romantic about Hanna, but in the same way Ali was romantic with each of the girls. You know, like in Jennifer's Body: "Sandbox love never dies." Oh, oh! And something I noticed during the recap special last week:
Real Ali Torturing Emily: "Trust me, if I'm kissing you, it's because it's practice for the real thing."
Ghost Ali Dancing With Spencer: "Sometimes practice is better than the real thing."
It all makes sense, at least to me, which is why I feel like this is a new thing, is aggressive and strange and on purpose because every scene they're in together, Mona pulls this shit and she's never done that to anybody before. It's violent, in a way that brings a whole new set of colors into play, especially with the whole Ali/Jenna/Shana thing where lesbian stuff goes dark sometimes.
Mona: "Me, I haven't dated anybody since Noel Khan because what would be the fucking point."
Hanna: "Listen, I had fun today..."
Mona: "No, you didn't. I know you're just pretending. But it was nice, so here's the cop-car chip back, and before you ask, it's the only copy. And just in case, you should not put this in a blender or the garbage disposal. Magnetize and burn it, okay?"
Hanna: "Just like that?"
Mona: "I really loved you, once. And I really was your friend."
Hanna: "Right back atcha, only with my eyes and not out loud."
JENNA THING, SLITHER ON DOWN!
Paige: "That was a fun date! But also fun thinking about how we're going to be married."
Emily: "I'm personally enjoying wondering whether I will be alive tomorrow, but yeah. That too."
Jenna: "You two make a cute couple. Sometimes I'm gay too. Everybody's a little gay. Especially on this show, where literally everybody is a little gay."
Emily, verbatim: "Did you slither on down here to comment on my love life?"
Emily Fields, my goodness how I've missed you. Tonight for her date she is wearing: A football jersey, ripped-up jean shorts... And Ugg boots. Almost, honey. No, actually, okay. It's a cute look, especially because Emily always looks so great when she takes it all the way casual.
