‘Pretty Little’ cray cray Spencer

Spencer makes a startling realization during her 72-hour psych hold at Radley.

Am I the only one loving Spencer’s freefall from grace on PLL? Who would’ve thought that Toby stomping on her heart would send her into a tailspin and on a one-way trip to the nut house.

While at Radley, Spencer met the real E. Lamb and discovered that, in the past, Radley had a problem with people stealing ID passes, as well as visitor passes. He remembered a young boy named Toby that was visiting his sick mother. Was it the same Toby? Who knows. What we do know is that Spencer has completely lost it and I’m a bit scared of what she might do next. She’s already hopped over a table to choke Mona — the crazy possibilities are endless with this girl.

Come on, Ashley Marin! This isn’t your first hit and run! Remember that time you were hit by Samantha Reilly’s shady father at your wedding reception? Wait a second, that was Melrose Place. My bad. Got my primetime soaps all jumbled up in my head.

Oh. My. Gawd! Walden is alive and not just a figment of Hanna and Ashley’s guilt! This dude has some massive balls walking up on them in broad daylight. He has to be a part of the ‘A’ team. There’s no way he’s just that damn evil. What he really wanted from Hanna was the keys to his cruiser and its location. Sir, that car is currently occupying the spot that formerly held Rosie Larsen.

I’m sorry, but I am absolutely over Ezra and Aria. To be honest, I was never for the relationship in the first place. He was her teacher and she was his student. It’s totally wrong of ABC Family to try to romanticize a relationship that, in real life, would be considered a felony charge. (Don’t believe me? Google Mary Kay LeTourneau and Sarah Jones.) Also, can you believe that Aria is currently in one of the two longest relationships on the show (the other being Hanna/Caleb)? I think she needs to start seeing someone new. There’s no way she should go into Season 4 still dating Ezra now that he’s a baby daddy. You can’t tell me that Ezra/Aria are the Pam/Jim of this show. Because they aren’t.

Moving on to something much more important: Missy F’ing Franklin! Dude, I watched all her swimming events at the 2012 London Olympics and couldn’t believe that this high school student was slaying the rest of the competition. It’s nice to see Olympians getting some love from their favourite TV shows too. Gabby Douglas got to be on The Vampire Diaries, McKayla Maroney was on Hart of Dixie, Aly Raisman will be on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars and the world’s sexiest douchebag, Ryan Lochte, has a new reality show will debuting later this year.

What was off about Tuesday’s episode however, was seeing Alison in church. I would suspect that upon entry, she would bust into flames. The girl is pure evil I tell you, and I bet you she ain’t dead either. Yeah, you heard me. ALISON AIN’T DEAD!

Listen, we haven’t found Ali’s body, and no one really actually knows how, when or where she died. All those variables are too much to ignore the possibility that she is amongst the living. But is she the girl in the red coat? Nope.

We’re only in the third season and that would be too much of a bomb to drop on the Liars and fans of the show. But who is the mysterious girl in the red coat? My money is on CeCe. She’s really the only other blond person in Rosewood (besides Hanna). However, I have reason to believe that it might be Melissa. What I know for sure is that it’s not a new character. It’s someone the Liars already know.

“You have all these bits and pieces. You’re trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle, but you’ve never seen the picture on the box.” Mona, that’s the most insightful thing you’ve said on Pretty Little Liars. She was right too — the Liars have all these pieces to the gigantic puzzle that is the mystery around Alison’s death, but I don’t think they have any real clue what they should be really looking for. They chase after every single clue, while not really taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture and how all these things piece together.

Speaking of clues, at the end of the episode, we saw a member of the ‘A’ team drive off in an RV. Mystery solved: Walter White or Jesse Pinkman is the person in the black hoodie. No? Can’t blame a girl for trying….

With only two episodes left, will we find out if Toby is really dead and truly in cahoots with ‘A’? Is Toby playing double agent (I think he is)? Will Aria finally pink slip Ezra? Where the hell is Caleb? Will we ever get to see Lucas’s awesome room again? Why does Emily, a part-time employee, have the keys to the coffee shop? What happened to Aria’s brother Mike? Is he in the same place as Judy Winslow? Comment below. Or drop TV Guide Canada a line on Facebook and/or Twitter!

Pretty Little Liars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on MuchMusic.
