Pretty Little Liars Ep. 3.18 Recap: Emily Does Hypnotherapy, Spencer Speaks French

(continued)

Spencer’s emotional breakdown has carried over into her judgment abilities, since the only person she seems to be confiding in lately is the terrifying private investigator. He tells her that the A key is for a unit on Mayflower Hill, and she superfluously tells him that if she opens the door and he’s kept his secret (read: left some sort of clue), that means he loves her. Somehow to me, that wouldn’t scream Happy Valentine’s Day, but Spencer isn’t exactly the picture of stability right now.

After frightening Emily out of her wits, Dr. Sullivan’s day doesn’t get much better, as she is met by Mona bearing an orchid on her way out of the office. Mona tells a shaken up Dr. Sullivan, “I could never repay you for what you did.” While she could just be one of Mona’s pawns, I’m not so sure about Dr. S.

Spencer discovers that the A key leads to an apartment (Apt A, aptly), but when she opens it, she finds the small studio completely empty. At this point, I’m pretty sure I could create a macro on my computer for “Spencer breaks down again.” Incidentally, Spencer breaks down again.

Meanwhile, at the moratorium the girls are sad to see Spencer has not come to say goodbye to Ali, but when she does show up, they probably wish she would have just stayed home. Amidst the girls’ protests, Spencer tells Jason that Ali was pregnant with Detective Wilden’s baby. Jason storms out, and the girls follow, as Aria tells Spencer, “We’re your friends. We’re not your punching bags.” Later, Spencer, who has officially gone banana sandwich, carves Toby’s name into his mother’s tombstone. Yikes.

Emily has another flashback while walking in the cemetery (What’s with all the flashbacks? Did Dr. Sullivan give her something?) and realizes that she mixed up her blackouts. She was actually flashing back to the night Ali’s grave was dug up, and she sees a person in black breaking it open with a shovel. She sees a blonde girl in a red coat that she believes is in charge. Hanna suggests it could be Alison herself, an idea Aria immediately rejects.

In our final A moment, we see a figure all in black buying a bottle of whiskey. The mysterious person is carded, but sadly we’re left not seeing the ID. Is this the lady in red, or just Toby drinking his abs away? We’ll have to wait until next Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC Family.
