PEMILY
Even though Emily made a joke about how she wasn't going to dress up as a guy to complete Hanna's Romeo & Juliet costume -- which Caleb ended up doing anyway -- Paige shows up dressed as a dude. I'm not a lesbian, but I think I get it more now because Paige looks fine as hell.
A-LAIR
Is a-mazing, a-stonishing, and a-bsolutely bananas. Clown head! A million pictures of Alison with the eyes stabbed out! Dollhouse with Bratz dolls of the Liars sitting in it! Every photo we've seen and tons we haven't, tons of spycraft and surveillance equipment, the burlap Babyface costume from Halloween, monsters and demons and shadows everywhere! Newspapers arranged hilariously in chronological order: GIRL LOST! GIRL STILL MISSING! GIRL FOUND STRANGLED WITH SKULL CAVED IN!
Mona: "Oh my God. This is crazytown."

Paige: "Sorry."
Emily: "That's okay, we can still be friends."
Mona: "Spencer, I just randomly found these fashion sketches of a Black Swan dress. I will call or not call Hanna to tell her to look out for that."

Who is just chilling out with Jenna and Lucas, of course. But what else is going on is, there's this other girl at the Dance who is unmistakeably but subtly in like every shot at this Dance: Red dress, gold mask. At one point she physically turns her mask toward the girls so they won't catch her face. I think this is the A-Prime, the A+, the person behind the A-Team. And I don't want to say more just yet, but if you think about Swan Lake some things come to the fore:
