Thoughts While Watching PLL “In The Eye Abides the Heart”
1) Did Sasha Pieterse and Shay Mitchell win any awards for this twisted baby plot? Because...damn, the scenes between the two of them are just a whole new level of incredible.
2) Seriously, the way Sasha gently steps around the script and the way Shay uses her whole face and her voice to convey her feelings. Her voice fucking CRACKED with raw emotion. It’s really amazing.
3) These creepy-ass face-chats with AD and Aria are horrifying.
4) If one puts a gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, fat free cupcake inside a box…does said cupcake actually even exist? Food for thought.
5) A.D. does not like her calls being screened. She would fucking hate me.
6) I bet Hanna and Caleb were adorable babies. And I bet their babies are going to be adorable, too.
7) Bahahaha, Hanna and Emily got REALLY into that comic book Lucas and Charles wrote. My beautiful nerds.
8) When Aria brought up the possibility of Lucas being A.D. and possibly being the father of the Emison babies I automatically started to wish they HAD made a little baby Lucas/Emily. Because that baby would be gorgeous.
9) Emily’s “no, no more…” *pause* “…maybe just a splash” is totally me with my vodka.
10) Emily: “I didn’t come here for you to tell me what to do.” *takes a beat* “What am I gonna do?”
11) Typical Emily Fields talking about how mad she is someone did this to Ali, and typical Spencer Hastings reminding her that it’s okay if she’s hurting, too, because it’s happening to her as well. Team Spemily.
12) Spencer and Mary writing each other letters in bottles like they live in 13th century England.
13) Paige’s response after she finds out about the Emison baby: “I’m buying the next round. And probably the one after that.” I finally like Paige.
14) “I thought it (the game) ran on bitchiness.” *snort* Classic Hanna.
15) The board game ain’t afraid to cut a bitch. And the fab bitch Mona ain’t afraid to cut back.
16) “I have learned so much from loving you. One of the most important things you taught me was not to get greedy.” The episode where Paige actually becomes a likeable character is her last. Shame.
17) Awww, “This is the third time I’ve said goodbye to you. I’m never gonna say it again.” Paige really did grow a lot throughout the series. I didn’t see that the first time I watched this.
18) Emily: “I have to do this.” Paige: “Of course you do. That’s what makes you Emily.” Then that kiss and Paige gently nudging Emily’s jaw to help her keep her chin up. What a way to end Paily. Lindsey Shaw did an incredible job with that. Okay, bye Paily. I’m over it.
19) Ezra: “Aria, what Nicole went through…it was the worst thing in the world.” Me: “Um, you do realize all the shit Aria’s been through, too, right?”
20) Paige creepin’ into Ali’s house…that shit was fucked up.
21) That scene between Paige and Ali where Paige confronts Ali about her feelings for Emily was beautifully executed by Lindsey and Sasha.
22) “I know how I feel when she looks at me. I’ve never felt that with anyone before. It’s like she sees who you really are. Maybe that’s the scariest part. You look at her. You look at…you look at her eyes and you want to be worth the effort. You wanna be the person she sees.” Powerful words, perfect delivery. GIVE SASHA A DAMN EMMY!
23) Hanna, giving Mona the game is like giving a crackhead their fix. Don’t mess with the queen’s head.
24) If anyone didn’t suspect the twin theory when Ezra ran into “Spencer” and Wren at the airport then they are as blind as Jenna Marshall.
25) Troian, you fabulous creature…you directed the shit out of this episode. It was phenomenal.
