When we last saw our Liars, they were in the graveyard-filled-darker-tinted Ravenswood. The girls stumbled upon A's (supposedly Ezra's) lair, and Aria de-faced Red Coat, who turned out to be Ce Ce Drake! Despite Mrs. Grunwald's warnings, Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria decide to stay for Ravenswood's Founders Day Celebration in hopes of learning more about Rosewood's Queen Bee, who they think to be A-live! THE SEARCH FOR ALISON IS ON.
The Liars look as fabulous as ever while crashing the Ravenswood party, and Ezra is lurking closely behind in the shadows. On his journey to Ravenswood to help Hanna and the girls, Caleb meets Miranda (Nicole Anderson), who's determined to find something to eat on their bus ride. Seriously, give the girl some chips!
Back at the party, the girls are desperately looking for "A" and any clues leading to their best friend's whereabouts. With the possibility of Alison still being alive and roaming around Ravenswood, the Liars are seeing and hearing her everywhere. They find a secret tunnel in the graveyard, and no matter how creepy, they are determined to see where it leads. And of course, they lose Hanna along the way! Don't you girls know the rules of scary movies/special Halloween episodes? Stick together! While wandering around by herself, Hanna comes across a "HELP ME" message assumed to be from Alison, and "gas mask" is only a few steps behind. She gets locked in a phone booth, and without a doubt, the phone rings and only creepy music plays on the other end of the line.
Spencer, now off on her own, has a showdown with "gas mask," and my money's on the Liars every time... even if Spencer does bump her head and is knocked unconscious for a few minutes. After Emily and Aria come to her aid, the girls find Alison's voice they've been hearing all night -- on a recorder. Turns out the creepy old house belonged to Mrs. Grunwald, who leaves us with a mysterious riddle: "One of you has been touched by the one Alison fears the most." Ezra Fitz, I'm pointing at you!
Even the scariest episode of the season has a sad moment: Hanna and Caleb's heart-felt goodbye. The best part of all is that Hanna gives Caleb the okay to stay in Ravenswood to help Miranda. Oh, the Haleb feels!
Ezra rAndomly shows up when the girls need help leaving Ravenswood, and he drives them back to Rosewood. Back at Spencer's barn, where it all started, the Liars come face-to-face with their not-so-missing best friend, Alison DiLaurentis! Yes, that's right. The Queen Bee of Rosewood is A-L-I-V-E!
Catch your breath, Liars! Now you know that Alison DiLaurentis...is alive! Don't miss the second half of Season 4, which starts on January 7, 2014.
What did you think of the Pretty Little Liars Halloween special? Let's chat in the comments!
Why did the girls and Caleb leave without going back to the lair?.... That was the whole reason Caleb came. Ugh, this show hurts my head.
ReplyDeletebest halloween episode
ReplyDeleteThat would be too much PLL.Last night was about ravenswood expect for ending.
ReplyDeleteYea, but it was just dumb. I think I have given up with this show.
ReplyDeletewhat they should have done is have a real breakup between Hanna and Caleb and have him met miranda on bus and go to ravenswood on his own.Nothing about Ravenswood setup wasn't stupid.
ReplyDeleteI have a serious love/hate relationship with this show!
ReplyDeleteWill someone tell HOW the hell did Hanna get lost in the tunnels when they clearly showed all four of them together when the winds were blowing. I mean come on, a random statue appearing where Hanna was supposed to me?
Also, when Spencer, Emily & Aria enter the room with the piano and here a girl screaming, Spencer runs ahead and the other 2 are literally a second behind her, and she yet manages to get SO far away?!
While I assume Hanna meant for Caleb to stay for a day or so to help Miranda and come back, they could have been more clear.
After the whole episode, the only reveal was that Alison is Alive! Something which we all knew..
After last year's amazing episode, I was probably expecting something on the same scale..but this episode got us roaming in circles for nothing at all. Hope s4b is better!
This episode was clearly designed as a way to set up Ravenswood and nothing more. Even the Ali reveal felt cheap because it was something we all knew anyway. The last 5 minutes were the only useful thing we got out of the episode heading into 4B.
