Small Screen Saturdays: Conspiracies and Theories…
Recap from Pretty Little Liars and The Vampire Diaries for the week of 03/03 – 03/07…
Season 4: Episode 22 “Cover for Me” – Spencer faces a challenging time while trying to recover from her addiction as old memories rehash. Hanna is approached by Detective Holbrook concerning a suspicious note. Aria takes a break from Ezra but soon decides to meet him again and ends up discovering a new “A” theory.
As Spencer continues her detox she begins to remember bits and pieces of the night that Ali disappeared. We are now led to believe that Spencer did hurt Ali in some way but it still isn’t clear as to who knows what. Could her parents be aware of what happened? Was Ali’s mom also part of the few that know her secret? This theory that Ezra brought up about Ali’s mom being “A” does seem a bit plausible. She has a lot of anger towards her daughter and also seems so odd around the girls. But to imagine her being the mastermind behind the girl’s demise….it just seems far fetched. I mean, she might have her motives but so much has been orchestrated that it just seems crazy to think Ali’s mom could be the main one torturing the girls. And what did Toby tell Spencer in her letter?? The preview of next week’s episode shows her in a wedding dress….another “A” move? Ohhhh PLL, stop driving me crazy!! Until then folks….
Season 5: Episode 15 “Gone Girl” – While Nadia remembers her centuries-long search for her mother, Stefan, Caroline, and the gang come up with a plan to save Elena’s life. Damon lures Tyler into a nasty confrontation, then takes off to seek revenge on Dr. Wess. Bonnie learns of a terrifying secret that will threaten the lives of all her friends.
And Katherine is finally dead. Right? Did she pass to the other side? Well no. I feel like this is yet ANOTHER open door to allow her to come back somehow. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. And not sure if anyone else picked up on it, but major flaw in the whole Katherine and Elena debacle. How is it that everyone did not pick up on Katherine pretending to be Elena? Bonnie is the key and for some reason, it wasn’t considered. She is the anchor to the other side. So that being said, when Katherine allegedly died, would she have not noticed Katherine never showed up?! Boo for ignoring this detail! I didn’t realize initially but with Nadia and Katherine passing this time around, it just clicked! lol Anyway, now Elena is infected with something Katherine put in her body. I’m not sure what it is, but apparently its going to make her act differently. Let the fun begin.
