Hmm. Some very strange writing choices w/r/t the characters' voices as established, but it's fine because there was so very much plot happening the entire time -- and some truly amazing moments, most of them involving Hanna being awesome after her breakthrough last week -- that you don't even really notice.

The action centers on the lead-up and follow-through of Ian's funeral, after the girls' grisly discovery of his apparent suicide last week. Hanna wants to wear red and dance on his grave, while Spencer just wants to get the funeral done so Melissa will stop being so scarily comatose -- and because, with Ian in the ground, she's increasingly wary of letting A lead them down this path of obsession for the rest of their lives. Aria, of course, views the funeral as the chance for her to debut her relationship with Ezra publicly, because have you met Aria.

Emily, though, Emily just can't let it go. In the wake of Spencer suddenly chilling out -- requiring a new head to grow back in her place to contain the crazy -- and given the fact that she was in love with Alison and always cared more about solving her murder than the rest of them, eventually figures out that the suicide note/confession was a creation of A -- most likely to get the cops off her case once and for all, while still using the Liars to solve it while also torturing them.

With a little further investigation, Emily also figures out that Ian wasn't even involved in the whole midnight bribe situation that nearly got Spencer killed -- and, it seems, killed Ian after all -- but she doesn't figure out that Garrett and Jenna are behind that part. I guess maybe the Jason Thing had to do with getting Ian out of town, but then A murdering him threw them off? Anyway, Logan Reed reappears for about five seconds of tender and gracious Emily-style interrogation before leaving town again.

During the brief calm, Hanna has a really neat moment reconnecting with her mom, and threatens Caleb's foster mother -- so she'll stop extorting his state checks -- in an absurdly beautiful, totally Hanna fashion. End result, Hanna's finally back together with Caleb.

Jackie makes her first move on Aria and Ezra's secret love affair, but between Ezra's weenieness about going public and Aria's intensifying attraction to Jason DiLaurentis, she needn't have bothered. In other news, it was Mikey that was breaking into everybody's houses and bodyslammed Aria that time, but we're still not clear on why he's being so awful all the time.

But the most effed-up one is definitely Spencer, who's getting a face full of awful from A this week, like, Hanna amounts: First her mom gives her the most wonderful, loving speech full of praise and vindication, so you already know something awful is coming. Then A threatens to tell everybody about the ring unless Spence comes clean, so she spends the whole episode trying to do that.

But then she doesn't even get to, because just as Melissa is about to tell her something dreadfully important, Ian's phone starts ringing! Inside her purse! Where it's been since they found the body, and which now implies that Spencer's been texting her sister as Ian, after he was already dead! Melissa goes ballistic, like it's honestly pretty scary... And all the calm and cool that Spencer finally located this week goes draining out into the ether.

In the end, the girls follow Emily's blinding flurry of detective work to the cemetery, where it's confirmed -- via A's stylish projection of it onto a nearby mausoleum -- that the Kissing Rock murder video is a sex tape after all, and that Jason had nothing to do with Ali's death!

Anyway, next week: Fashion show! Gone horrifically wrong! The most beautiful words in the English language!
