Spencer thinks Ian has stolen her laptop to erase the incriminating video of him and Ali in the woods, Emily is getting drunk and dropping hard truth bombs after Maya gets distant at True North, and Hanna is forced to dance with Lucas at the Dance-a-thon all night, finally ending her relationship with Sean.

Check out our commentary track for Pretty Little Liars s01e13 “Know Your Frenemies.” Aria can’t complain, because A saved her relationship. Maya gets shipped off to “juvie camp” because nosy Pam found a joint and some roach clips, so the other liars coordinate an evening of lovemaking for Emily, lending her Spencer’s bed. That’s a sentence. Hanna bears the brunt of A’s attentions, being forced to eat cupcakes and recall the time Ali tried to give her an eating disorder. And of course, Spencer has her hands full suspecting Ian of murder, and spying on Toby to watch him cry.

Aria comes clean to the Liars about the Ezra business, Spencer has to deal with shirtless Ian, Hanna’s got Lucas shooting his shot and dead Alison visiting her when she’s hazy on painkillers, and Emily comes out to her parents. It’s the first episode of season 1B of Pretty Little Liars, s01e10 “Moments Later.” Is this Noel Kahn’s origin story?

This week on the pod, we’re skipping s01e09 because we already did a commentary track for that pod last summer with the excellent LaToya Ferguson. Instead, we’re talking Pretty Little Liars s01e10 “Keep Your Friends Close” aka the Camp Mona episode. Mona breaks up with Hanna for being a bad friends and getting detained by the FBI, Aria attempts to emotionally manipulate the guy who’s grooming her, Spencer is looking for clues like Nancy Drew, and Emily is getting closer with Maya, and closer to coming out, even though A already secretly told her mom.

Our commentary pods continue with a revisit of Pretty Little Liars s01e08, “Please, Do Talk About Me When I’m Gone.” Old Jason is here, with all his oily anti-charm, looking to stick a foot up Wilden’s ass just to prove he can do it. Spencer pushes her sister on Ian out of guilt, Aria deigns to go on a date with Noel Kahn (Hi Noel Kahn!), Hanna sells her stolen goods online to buy groceries with the help of soft boi Lucas, and Emily is feeling things as she starts to move on from her Ali infatuation with Maya.

This week on the pod: is Toby dead? That’s right, we’re doing our commentary track for Pretty Little Liars s01e07 “The Homecoming Hangover.” Jenna has a creepy dog that talks to Emily and tells her to kill. Spencer walks into the club kitchen like she owns the place, because she practically does. Sean tries to show up Hanna by sending flowers to Aria, and the Shusher shuts that right down with extreme prejudice, and then interrogates substitute Sara Shepard about Ezra Fitz’s whereabouts.

Ezra. Dawg. Major party foul bringing your high school girlfriend to the bar poetry reading, bro. Your boy Hardy is trying to be chill about this, but, like, dude. Seriously. Also, Toby is that kid who goes to the cafe to read The Catcher in the Rye so everyone will see him reading The Catcher in the Rye. He’s barking up the wrong tree with Emily.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like Ezra’s gangly legs on a bike. We spy with our little eye, something that begins with a commentary track for Pretty Little Liars s01e04 “Can You Hear Me Now.” The liars have the only good idea in the entire run of the show: just blocking A’s calls. Also, this is the first collaboration between writer Joseph Dougherty and director Norman Buckley. Cheers!
