PLL Recap Season 4, Episode 8: “The Guilty Girl's Handbook"

I've never liked or trusted Mona in any season of PLL but in last nights episode, she may have finally done something to make me like her just a little. 

This episode is kind of all about the aftermath of last episode. Emily and her mom are staying in a motel while their house is being rebuilt.  Her mom is super emotional about everything it seems like and I don't blame her. I feel so bad for Pam! Especially when Emily says she wants to build houses again next summer, this time in Nicaragua, Pam gets really sad about Emily leaving her by herself. I had a slight thought during this scene that Emily could help her family by rebuilding their own house! Haha I don't know if that's possible but if she knows the people she worked with, she could put a team together and build the house back up in no time.  Side note for Emily: did she ever return the key that she stole from her mom? I know she wanted to but didn't get the chance before, but it would save her mom's job! Her mom had her run some papers to the station in this episode and I was expecting them to show Emily returning the key then, but it was never mentioned. Does she still have it?

Aria's brother Mike feels like he is in danger among his own teammates after Mike's teammate's car was trashed and everyone thought it was Mike's doing. Mike is now taking martial arts classes with Jake which brings him back into the picture for Aria once again. 

Spencer does some snooping through her mom's lawyer files and finds that Wilden was the detective who covered Toby's mom's death at Radley. Not all of the dads add up after she talks to Eddie, a Radley employee who believes that Wilden might have been paid to lie on the report about how Toby's mom died. Eddie also thinks that it is odd how Wilden went from being a patrol man to a detective so quickly. No real answers are given in this scene but it does cause some suspicion as how to why Wilden lied on the death report.

Hanna's mom doesn't get released on bail which is awful but even worse, she is being transferred to the state prison which is far from Hanna.

Because Hanna loves her mom so much, she decides she wants to admit to murdering detective Wilden herself. She enlists Mona's help because Mona is a lying expert and can help Hanna seem more convincing.  These scenes were super intense and kind of scary actually! Mona is really good at lying and helping others lie.

The scenes that were reenacted as if Hanna killed Wilden were kinda cool because it made me think that that's how Mona goes through her stories before she lies. That is how she actually does it, she visualizes it to make sure it's flawless and believable then thinks it out so that she too believes it happened. Bitch cray

Hanna's mom talks to Caleb to ensure he is looking after Hanna and making sure she doesn't do anything stupid, like lie and admit to killing Wilden to save her mom. 

In the end of the episode, before Hanna can turn herself in, Mona goes down to the police station and does the unthinkable. She admits to killing Wilden. I don't see any ulterior motives here other than having Hannah indebted to her forever but it was a good thing for Mona to do!!

I thought Caleb might have turned himself in to stop Hanna from doing it, and I was hoping that didn't happen. I was glad to see Mona turn herself in even if it was a lie, but I still don't know why she did it.

I loved the way this episode ended. Something about the girls getting good news for once was exciting. I liked how they showed each girl receiving the news separately and then coming to together at the police station to see Mona getting questioned.

Questions I now have...

I still want to know where Paige has been this whole time?

I heard the actress to plays Jenna is pregnant in real life so I wonder how that will affect her character on the show?

Will Mona's confession free Hanna's mom?

If Aria and Jake start dating will Ezra be out of the picture for good?

What is the link between Toby's mom's death and Wilden? Did she really commit suicide or was she killed?


-Till next week (which looks crazy) bitches!
