I can’t even handle the mixed emotions this show has been giving me. It’s taken over my brain in a big way, and as such, I thought I’d share them with you in the form of an episode recap/review. The following contains my honest reactions to and thoughts about Pretty Little Liars episode 3x14, She’s Better Now…
From the title alone (and the sentence-long Netflix-approved recap), I am already super skeptical about the whole Rosewood criminal justice and health care system…okay, I was already pretty skeptical, but seriously? Mona escapes a literal mountain of criminal charges because she’s completely psycho and then they give her a “clean bill of health” after less than a year? How are adults on this show so easily influenced by teenagers? Hmmm…
We begin with, presumably, A (or some member of the A-Team) skateboarding down the deserted streets of Rosewood in the middle of the night. Because why not?
Cut to Hanna’s room, where someone is creepily standing over her bed. Oh look, it’s her BFF Mona! She asks if it’s a bad time, which I assume is meant to elicit the actual LOL response I experienced. She basically begs Hanna to be her friend again because her parents are making her go back to school—yep, Rosewood High—and, surprise, she’s got no allies!
Let’s just take a moment to pause and marvel at the fact that her parents think it’s a grand idea for their fresh-out-the-sanitarium daughter to immediately return to the school full of people she tortured for the better part of two years. Seems like there’s gotta be more to this story than Mona’s letting on…
