PLL Mid Season Summer Finale

Holyyyyyy crap!! Ezra is A 😳😁😳😁

I don't even know how to handle this right now. When they showed his face I think my stomach dropped. Ezria fans everywhere are crying I'm sure. I loved Ezra too, so I get it. He was never even a suspect in my mind.  I really thought it would be Wren. Reveals like this make me want to rewatch every episode now that we know he has been A all along. Did he ever really love Aria or did he use this as a way to get closer to the girls and get more info? Uhhh such a hard thing to accept for me. But we have to face it guys, Ezra is A.

Okay so besides the huge reveAl, we did get some other information last night. CeCe was one of the red coats and maybe Ali was too. CeCe took a tough fall but of course walked away when the girls weren't looking. So she isn't dead but maybe a little bruised.

That scary Mrs. Grunwald with the weird glass looking eyes told the girls that Ali may very well still be alive. As far as she knows, Ali is waiting to find people to trust and until then, doesn't want to be found. Not sure whether to trust this creepy old lady or not, but if she's right, then the girls haven't been crazy when they've spotted Ali around town or in hazy moments like the fire incident.

Unfortunately there are some more questions that we need answered. Last night's episode cleared up a lot but it also added more questions. Why is Wren in contact with Melissa? Why was Shana in contact with Mona? And is Mona on the side of the girls or is she working with Jenna and Shana?

Until October bitches!!

Free JoJo

Have you ever wondered what happened to the voice that provided us with songs like “Leave (Get Out)”, Baby It’s You“ and “Too Little Too Late”?  Well I am sure you aren’t the only one wondering where the fudge JoJo Levesque went.  She didn’t die, she didn’t get dropped by her label and just an FYI, she sure as hell hasn’t stopped making music.

Some artists are one hit wonders, it happens.  Some artists are one album wonders, it happens.  It’s not often that an artist falls of the face of the earth after several great songs and two really solid albums.  And it’s even more rare than an artist of JoJo’s caliber (have ya heard this bitch sing? She can blow) isn't at least putting out albums every few years that are adored and appreciated by her fans.

 I am sure JoJo would be putting out albums if she could, but she cannot.  Instead she can only make free mixtapes for her fans.  For a full breakdown on what happened with her label check out these articles:

or you can just Google “wtf happened to JoJo” and weed through the searches that are about Rev Run’s rapping son JoJo Simmons having beef with Juelz Santana (you learn something new every day, I did when I Googled that).

Basically, JoJo can’t get signed to another label while Blackground still has her tied down.  She can’t release an album and can’t go on tour; but she CAN still do what she loves to do…and that’s sing.  And maaaaaaaaan can she sing.

The release of her mixtape Agape on December 20 of last year, was everyyyyyyything.  I was still reeling from the release of Brandy’s Two Eleven from October (which was dope AF) so when Agape was released I couldn’t afford to leave my iPod behind anywhere I went.  Thank god I was on Christmas vacation from college and spent my new years on vacation where I had plenty of time to listen to the mixtape. 

Agape was released 7 months ago and I can tell you that I haven’t gone a single week without listening to it all the way through at least once.  I can’t rave about it enough because I can't think of another artist who has had to struggle so much to produce something that great. 

 

To be able to put out such a great collection of songs without any label support just blows my mind.  People probably don’t realize the type of help artists get when they have label support.  You think Rihanna ever calls someone like “hey could you help produce some songs for me for free?”  If it isn’t obvious enough, the answer is no.  Rihanna doesn’t ask for help because she has Ester Dean, The-Dream and every other song writer in R&B or pop music at her fingertips. She makes good music because she has a good team.  Imagine if JoJo was signed to Roc and had Jay Z behind her every move?  Deadlyyyy.

JoJo had to create her own songs, find her own team and gather all the support herself.  She doesn't have a label doing that labor for her.  This may scare some listeners into thinking the mixtape may not be very good because she had no help; but trust me when I say that by listening, you can't tell that JoJo had no support.  She's just that damn good.  See for yourself.

PLL Recap Season 4, Episode 10 & 11

We are getting down to the wire. Next week is the summer finale. Lots to wrap up here so hopefully it's a jam packed hour of answers (doubtful, but a girl can wish right?)

So here's what I am hoping to find out next week...

Who was living in Mrs. DiLaurentis' basement?

What is CeCe Drake's involvement in this whole thing? Is she red coat or one of A's helpers?

The shoe that was found in the remains of Emily's house...will that hurt Hanna's mom in the case?

Is Wren betraying the girls? Something seems really off about him right now so I wouldn't be shocked by this.

Who is everyone on the phone with all the time? CeCe and Wren are both calling someone, so if they aren't calling each other then who are they talking to?

Are Toby and Spencer done? And will Toby finally figure out what happened to his mom?

Who will Aria pick...Ezra or Jake?

Lots of questions that need answers and only one hour left to explain it all!

PLL Recap Season 4, Episode 9: "Into the Deep"

Is it obvious to anyone else that a finale is on it's way? I could really feel the build up to the summer finale in last night's episode.

So it turns out all that practice Mona conducted with Hanna about how to sell a lie to a detective didn't really rub off. Mona's story didn't match the story that the evidence told. She ends up getting released from jail because of lack of evidence. At the end of the episode she checks herself back into her old room at Radley. Not sure how someone can just do that, but it's Mona so I'm sure she paid someone off.

Emily has a pretty shitty bday when she is told her swim career is just about donezo due to her shoulder injury. She definitely wasn't in the mood for the surprise party Paige threw for her. And things didn't really get much better for her as the night went on.  Paige and Emily come to the realization that next year they will probably be apart. This could mean trouble for their relationship. Sad moment here. Not that I care too much for Paige but Emily is my favorite character so I don't really want to see anything sad happen to Em and she's been through a lot of sad shit lately.

Aria sees Jake at Emily's surprise birthday party with a date. She gets super jealous and doesn't do a great job of hiding it.  Jake confronts her and they end up kissing 😘 (finally) and admit they want to be more than friends. I think I like them together so hopefully he doesn't get sucked into the drama that follows the girls around. Lets face it though, he will probably get involved and targeted by A at some point.

In a random story line, Ezra is fighting for his relationship with his son now that his baby mama wants to move away to finish her teaching degree.

Hanna's mom gets out of jail for two reasons. One: Mona's confession loosens the tight hold the court has on Ashley Marin. They decide she doesn't need to be transferred and is allowed to post bail. Two: Her bail is anonymously posted (by Pastor Ted) and she can live back at home on house arrest.  She can make any accessory, even a house arrest anklet look fashionable.

At Emily's surprise party, Aria and Spencer are trying to talk to Jenna about what she knows. They can't seem to get her alone because Shana is glued to her side. Emily and Aria can't find Spencer so they leave the party to look for her, this is when Em sees a body in the lake thinking it is Spencer and runs to it. Upon flipping it over she realizes they finally got Jenna alone, but she just might be dead. Someone hit her in the back of the head and pushed her into the water. 

When Spencer talks to Shana at the hospital, she obviously wants to find out who has Jenna so terrified all the time that she needs Shana around 24/7? Shana explicitly states that it couldn't be Alison because she's dead (duh) and that Shana is afraid of CeCe Drake. Sooooo random! It feels like CeCe is slowly creeping back into the picture here as a great. Maybe she's red coat, she is blonde after all! 

Questions I now have:

What is the fate of Emily and Paige's relationship? Is Pailey doomed?

Why did Mona check herself into Radley?

Will Hanna's mom be cleared of all charges?

How did pastor Ted afford $100,000 bail money...don't pastors give all their money to the church and end up driving broken down station wagons? 

Is Jenna dead?

Who hit Jenna and pushed her into the water?

Where the eff is CeCe Drake????!?!????!! And what does she have to do with all this?

-Till next week bitches!
