Now, with bangs!
WHATS NEW:
Spencer has bangs.
The Freeform commercials… Dont even get me started.
Everyone has a job.
The Liars texts show up on screen now, a laHouse of CardsorSherlock.So edgy, Freeform!
Hasnt the girl been through enough?!
WHATS THE SAME:
Everyone especially Hanna still has awesomely cheesy lines.
Ali and Toby still live in Rosewood.
Lorenzo is still with the police force.
Ezra still owns The Brew.
My eyes still glaze over when Spencer and Mrs. Hastings talk politics.
Its not about betrayal; its about revenge.
), until finally were in the classroom with Ali.
comes in and tells Ali, The judge set a date for the hearing.
Turns out Ali wants the Liars to come home to testify on Charlottes behalf.
(In a really quick scene, Charlotte asks Ali, Do you think theyre still mad at me?
When the Liars finally reunite in Rosewood, whats the first thing they do?
Take a million selfies, of course, because this is Freeform!!
And cool youths looove selfies!
(Is this getting old yet?
That was my last one, I swear.)
(Related: Whos this Jordan character?
Im going to kill him.
Aria is dating an adorable guy named Liam (HEMSWORTH?!).
And Spencer was with an ambassadors son for a while, until there was a regime change.
Shes too busy to date (or maybe still pining over Toby).
(This is to show us that theyre adults now, if you havent been paying attention).
Toby tells Spencer that he and Caleb are even better pals now: Were the brotherhood of ex-boyfriends.
Weve got to stick together.
He offers to buy her dinner before she leaves town, and she says yes.
She thinks that since they heard Charlottes story, theyll be more sympathetic.
They think their scars might beg to differ.
Shes going to talk about the dollhouse and being tortured.
I love the matter-of-fact way Ali says the dollhouse and being tortured.
Wouldnt you think thattorturewould make a pretty strong case for keeping Charlotte locked up?
But when the lights came on, everyone was staring at her: becauseshewas the crying girl.
I dont want Charlotte released, Aria says.
Turns out the judge didnt care at all about Arias story and decides to let Charlotte out anyway.
Rosewood: where Logic Goes To Die!
I miss your faces, says Drunk Spencer.
You guys have such excellent faces.
Drunk Spencer is weird.
Bring back High Spencer.
Hanna picks up the tab on her rich fashion card, and then they all toast to Charlotte.
It looks like she jumped, and Ali is devastated.
So is this mysterious Dr. Rollins.
Hanna asks why Caleb didnt call first, and he says he wasnt sure if shed initiate the door.
Were still friends, arent we?
Did she make a huge mistake?
(Um, yes.)
Meanwhile: another day, another funeral in Rosewood.
Charlotte has an open casket, so we know shes dead.
But for big shocker No.
2, who shows up at the funeral but Sara Harvey, a.k.a.
Black Widow, in her stupid, dramatic veil while a nondescript guy guides her by the wrist.
3: Lorenzo approaches the Liars after the funeral, and doesnt look too friendly.
He tells them it would be a good idea to stick around Rosewood for a while.
Turns out the police need to talk to them… AND THERE IT IS!
Did Sara kill Charlotte?
Did one of the Liars sneak out while everyone else was passed out drunk?
Is Ali going to think the Liars hurt Charlotte and turn against them?
Did Spencer and Toby have dinner?!?
But most importantly: What do you guys think of the new season?
