It's a Father-Daughter Freakout! While normally the idea of any kind of father-daughter dance in Rosewood would have me clutching at my Purity Balls in terror, this one was actually kind of sweet. It's nice to know that a show so honest about the predatory nastiness that surrounds you can balance that out with some positive male images on occasion, if merely to demonstrate that they're technically possible.

Emily's dad, for example, uses his Patriarchy Power of being in the military and talking to other dudes from the military to help her track down Maya's last known location, although that's a dead end since she probably got into a car with A before she ever left for San Francisco. It's a bittersweet reunion, considering he's shipping out again, but it seems left in the air as to where that puts Pam, moving forward.

Or how about Peter Hastings, who paid a PI that $15 grand to track down Alison so that he could prove Melissa didn't kill her? Yeah, turns out she was only one of the people sending Ali threatening texts, which is why Jonah led us to that law firm. Over the course of the episode, Spencer flips over on whether she killed Ali like a dozen times, but who knows. I still don't trust her, not that Peter's hotness is that trustworthy either... All I know is, A stole his gun and he's probably going to jail whenever A kills whoever is going to die.

Even little Mikey Montgomery gets some time in the sun, first advising Aria to drop Fitz and go back to being normal, and then telling Byron to lay off her and try to figure out where things went wrong. Byron, less amazing, although of course Ella and Ashley rock the house as usual. To throw Ashley off A's trail, Hanna lays waste to yet another phone before Mona suggests that Aria simply confess to being A so Ashley will leave it alone. Ashley doesn't buy it, in an actually very surprising twist, and ends up taking her A story to Ella, who knows exactly how scary A can be and warns her to tread lightly... Which, of course, A overhears.

(Oh, and the most amazing part -- beyond Hanna destroying her phone and the dropping the mic on her mom -- is when, during the dance itself, Toby rides up on a motorcycle and then speeds away into the night, sending Spencer's heart atwitter and crushing my Wren dreams anew.)

As everybody deals with the aftermath of yet another horrible town function, Aria gets another call from Jonah: Apparently there were multiple numbers sending Alison threatening texts and emails -- of course there were -- and he's somehow located the origin of a second one: a completely terrifying doll hospital in nearby Brookhaven. As the girls commiserate on how they once used to actually enjoy dolls, Aria puts on the red coat -- transforming into Vivian and summoning new hottie Duncan into the picture.

Two episodes left! In which... Toby is back in Jenna's thrall, with a cute haircut! A is revealed! And Jenna and possibly Hanna are blown up once again! God, I love this show. Of course the second Jenna gets her sight back they're gonna blow her creepy ass up again. And of course Hanna is going to run into a house that's about to explode. Of course those things. I cannot wait!
