TV Review: Pretty Little Liars 4×05 “Gamma Zeta Die!”

Prepare yourselves… *SPOILER ALERT*

Aria’s mom decides that she wants to tell Zach that she no longer wants to go on that trip with him. Aria was surprised by her mom’s comment, but her mom says that Aria’s brother didn’t feel comfortable with her leaving the house while he’s still recuperating

When Aria leaves the car – her mom’s car is invested with bugs…clearly “A” had something to do with that.

While Emily is working at the coffee house, she meets a man that was waiting for Spencer to discuss college visits. However, the man offers Emily a seat to talk about different colleges. Spencer, Emily and the college-advisor all agree to go together to visit a college, as he is family friends with someone in the admissions department .

At Hannah’s home, Ashley and Hannah discuss college visits, but then receives a mysterious phone call. Once Ashley leaves the room, Hannah picks up the phone to hear the conversation, discovering that it was Spencer’s mother.

Aria goes to her dad and asks him to convince her mother to go on the trip to Europe. Her dad refuses because its silly, but Aria convinces him to proceed.

At a college campus, Spencer lays down the plan with Emily. Spencer goes back to the hotel to “freshen-up.” She then goes to another table on the college campus to figure out the number of a phone number she discovered that believes can track down “A” and what happened to Ali.

Emily confronts that she actually wants to go to the college they are attending; not to discover the meaning behind a phone number. Spencer claims that the entire time, Emily had been flirty with the college advisor but neglected to tell him that she was gay. Spencer’s comment appalled Emily, as she then said that Spencer can get away with anything because her parent’s money can cover up any wrong-doings; her friendliness was charm so the advisor could give the admissions department a good word for her.

When Hannah calls Spencer, we discover that Hannah is the one with her father’s gun…the gun that killed Wilden.

Aria’s parents discuss the trip to Europe, and her father convinces her mother to go.

Emily goes to a sorority party to get a better feel of the school. Spencer travels throughout the same party with a picture of Ali, asking people if anyone knew her; no one did. Hannah crashes the party and reveals that she has the gun. Spencer goes on the search to find Emily but enters a dark, empty room with a phone. Spencer calls Aria from the phone and they question why someone would call Ali from that exact phone with that exact number.

Hannah escapes the party…with the gun in her bag. Moments later, the police find her and she’s arrested. Emily and Spencer find Hannah as she gets her hands cuffed. Spencer receives a text from “A’ giving the impression that Hannah and her mom were caught for killing Wilden.

Definitely a lot is going on, and lots of drama happening. However, Spencer keeps coming up with these wicked plans that just confuse the heck out of me. I love that Spencer is over-zealous about finding out the mysteries of  “A” and the remains of Ali, but sometimes she gets a bit over-board. I loved that Aria’s brother was re-introduced into the series (as I’m sure every other girl was) and I am interested to see how the writers will incorporate him back into the series. Will he be a part of “A”?

I guess we will have to find out more in next weeks episode of Pretty Little Liars at 8PM on ABC Family!
