S01:E11 - Forget Alison DiLaurentis, where’s Sean Ackard?

Everyone’s favourite word has returned in episode 11, yes you guessed it…’PEDO’. Much to Lacey’s dismay, Ezra is back to being a regular character and there is no sign of him disappearing again. We have a chaotic start to this episode as Lacey decides to treat us to a smooth session of ASMR but in fact, drastically fails and ends up covering her laptop in Diet Coke. 

The episode itself opens with Hanna being carted away in the ambulance and Aria spotting the only man who was invited to the party, Noel. But he wasn’t invited, so why is he there? 

The girls are all very emotional, waiting to be updated in the hospital waiting room. Spencer comes to the realisation that they should’ve been expecting this all along as it did start out with murder, a point Yasemin in particular is very passionate about, “I've said this the whole time, I don't understand why no one is talking about the fact that Alison was murdered.”

Whilst the girls contemplate talking to the police, your hosts have a debate over a mystery Tanner that Lacey is sure was mentioned but Yasemin is adamant she’s crazy and misheard, “who the hell is Tanner?” If you have the energy, please do settle it for us.

We experience a very rare sisterly moment between Spencer and Melissa, which divides your hosts. Yasemin finds it very endearing and sweet, but Lacey thinks it’s hilarious and gives us her own rendition of the scene and it is not the only one. 

It’s been awhile since your hosts consumed alcohol, but Lacey introduces a new drinking game where you drink every time you see cat scrubs, a common issue in this show that irks Yasemin as she can’t understand why nurses and doctors are wearing scrubs with cats on them again!

More importantly, Hanna is alive and recovering in the hospital. Ashley is there to greet her, but there is no sign of Sean, only of the orchid he bought her. Hanna is more concerned about calling her friends anyway so she can spill all the tea on what she saw at Camp Mona. 

Lacey is as enthusiastic as ever for every Ezria scene, so excited that she has to pass it over to Yasemin, “Eurgh I hate him, I can’t even, you’re going to have to do this scene.” Aria spends the entire episode being our delulu queen trying to come up with an excuse for literally everything. 

As the girls are settling back into their day to day life, the Field’s household is rather frosty. But Lacey was paying attention to other things and she surprises Yasemin with 5, yes 5 different questions about the state of their dining room. They are all very detailed and have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, have you ever wondered why their dining chairs are so big?

The girls reunite with Hanna at the hospital where she is finally able to tell all and Aria’s secret relationship is revealed. Noel is now A and the girls find out about Mr Fitz, sorry Ezra Fitz. Noel makes an appearance at the hospital and Aria tries to catch him out.

Lucas visits Hanna in the middle of the night to secretly kiss her forehead, but it isn’t a secret as Hanna confronts him about it the next day. Your hosts go from loving Lucas to strongly disliking him as we start to see the more obsessive side of Lucas which is an immediate red flag. Also, what the hell is his problem with Sean?  

Noel and Aria have another encounter where she calls him out for being in the crowd at Mona’s party. Noel comes clean and it’s another scene that Lacey absolutely loved and felt like our listeners deserved another rendition, as I said one of many.

We get the infamous scene of Alison visiting Hanna in the hospital in her candy stripe nurses outfit, Lacey is all over this scene making almost an orgasmic noise. Is Alison a hallucination? Is she real life? Either way Ali gives Hanna advice on how to solve their A dilemma and we find out that she does in fact care about Hefty Hanna. 

We obviously can’t have an episode without singing and in this episode Taylor Swift’s, You Belong With Me makes an appearance to open up Emily’s coming out scene to her dad. Which is very soon destroyed by the full wrath of Pam Fields, your hosts however take a different approach and act out the scene with full passion.

Spencer's conversation is interrupted by Ian twice and in the latter she is invited to join a celebration, but our clever Spencer knows something is up. Que Melissa’s entrance in a big white dress and everyone immediately knows what has happened. Bye Wren Kingston and hello Ian Thomas. 

The final scene involves our sole A message which is displayed in a brand new way and it sends everyone into immediate mass panic.
