ABC Family

Pulled Into the Mystery of Pretty Little Liars

By  | 

Tonight was the ABC Family premiere of the new series, Pretty Little Liars. They ran back-to-back-to-back episodes. I watched all three times. That’s right, I did. I was pulled into the mystery surrounding Alison’s disappearance and death. I love a good mystery, and this show has more than one. Here is my list of ten questions raised in tonight’s show:

  • who’s Jenna?
  • what’s ‘the Jenna thing’?
  • where did Alison go that night?
  • what does Spencer know about that night?
  • who killed Alison and why?
  • is Jenna pretending to be Alison  and sending the notes to the girls?
  • if so, why?
  • if Jenna was no friend of Alison’s, what was she doing at her funeral?
  • how are those messages getting to the girls just at the right moment? As if ‘A’ was watching them.
  • why did we never once see Emily’s boyfriend?

As if those questions weren’t enough, the secretive ‘A’ sent me a text on my handy iPhone. You remember I told you that inside the box containing the the phone was a small vial of silver glitter? Well, my new mission, or I should say Spencer’s new mission, is to watch the premiere and tell ‘A’ which scene I think that glitter could have come from. After carefully studying the episode THREE TIMES I still don’t get it. Help!

If you can help Spencer find that scene, she’ll reward you with a very special gift. Of course, she could be lying.

Heather: well whatever, it was on her own property is my meaning
me: yeah
8:24 PM Heather: i’m a little surprised she’s playing a teenager

but considering she played a teen in a movie almost 10 years ago???

8:39 PM WHAT’S THE JENNA THING?
Heather: i don’t know but i think it’s the key to this whole thing
but who killed allison?
and why?
8:40 PM me: maybe, but there
Heather: do you think it’s jenna pretending to be allison and sending the notes to the girls?
me: s a lot of secrets here
yes i do but wouldn’t that be too easy?
Heather: not necessarily
8:41 PM consider the fact that jenna and allison were apparently never friends
so how would those secrets that only allison knew end up in jenna’s keeping?
8:42 PM me: that’s true
unles one of the girls was feeding them to her?
nah
8:44 PM Heather: yeah i don’t think so
8:45 PM is he the same guy at the end who approached the girls about allison’s case being a murder now?
8:46 PM me: i was just wondering the same thing
i think so
where’s the damn glitter?
Heather: ok and how is she sending these messages at the right moments??
like she’s there watching???
i don’t know where the glitter is
is mel watching this too?
8:47 PM me: yes
8:48 PM Heather: where does she think the glitter is?
is it supposed to be actual glitter in a scene or what the glitter represents
8:49 PM ?
me: i don’t know she’s not online
Heather: oh
8:50 PM i’ve liked all the music that’s been played too
8:51 PM me: it
s alright
8:52 PM heather that’s the cop guy!!!!
8:53 PM that’s how her mom “took care of it”
Heather: yeah
i put that together
me: i didn’t
Heather: well that’s why i asked if it was the same cop
8:54 PM i didn’t make the connection the first time
me: i thought you meant just in that scene where they arested hana
8:58 PM Heather: it started with jenna
and whatever happened to her
me: yea they all know about the jenna thing
8:59 PM Heather: oh definitely
but i think this whole thing leading up to allison’s murder started with whatever happened to jenna
me: i don’t get the glitter thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Heather: yeah i didn’t get it either
9:00 PM me: i may have to post it on NGTV
9:02 PM Heather: so……..what were they drinking? i wonder if that’s got something to do with it
9:03 PM me: yea i don’t know
9:04 PM Heather: or they know something about what happened to allison and aren’t saying
me: i wonder if spencer knows something more about that night
Heather: hmm……
9:05 PM yeah she kinda seemed the one who was most upset with allison
of course you notice melissa isn’t dating the same guy right?
me: ya
9:06 PM Heather: so did the secret come out? or did melissa break up with the guy anyway
?
9:07 PM like it none of the other girls seemed as pissed at her as spencer was
9:09 PM me: yeah
9:10 PM oh and i thought spencer didn’t like any of melissa’s other BFsa
9:11 PM Heather: yeah that confused me too
