Pretty Little Liars Recap - "Playtime" (S07E11)


Pretty Little Liars is back for the final season!

We open with Spencer being rushed to the hospital followed by the Liars. As she is rushed into the emergency room they try and piece together what just happened and where Jenna and Mary Drake disappeared to. As they talk they see Toby being rushed in on a gurney.

Flash forward to a week later and we learn that both Toby and Spencer survived their respective injuries, but poor Yvonne is in a medically induced coma. Aria visits with Toby to see how he's doing before heading to Ezra's apartment. She packs a bag and as she is leaving, he finally arrives. He asks where she's going then basically asks her to stay. They talk a little about Nicole, but Ezra doesn't say much. Aria gets a text from Spencer and goes to see her.

Meanwhile, Hanna wakes up next to Caleb and wants to start looking for Jenna. He hands Hanna her sketchbook and tries to remind her of her passion. He encourages her to continue pursing fashion even though it almost broke them up before. He wants her to find herself again. Emily and Paige both get hired at the high school, Emily as the swim coach and Paige as an athletic department head. They both now work with Alison who shows up late for work. When Emily asks if she's ok, she says yes and she was late because she went to the doctor. She starts pushing Emily away already.


Aria arrives at Spencer's and the Liars are waiting for her with a big gift box sent from AD. They are upset to realize that Noel Kahn was not AD and they were wrong. They open the box to find a giant interactive board game set up like Rosewood with each of the girls as a game piece. It's so creepy! Spencer thinks AD wants them to play, but Hanna thinks AD want to play with them. They all agree not to play the game.



Hanna asks Aria what's going on with her and Ezra and Aria tells her about their conversation. Hanna assures her that Ezra will tell Nicole about them and things will work out between Ezra and Aria. She suggests Aria works on planning the wedding so that when Ezra is ready, everything is set. Mona runs into Hanna while she is sketching and looks through her book. She comes up with a way to get Hanna's name out there in the fashion world.

Spencer meets with Detective Fury and he tells her that they don't think Dr. Rollins is actually in France anymore. He shows her a gun and Spencer insists it's the one she saw Jenna holding. Fury tells her that it doesn't match the bullet that they pulled out of her shoulder. Spencer doesn't understand, and he suggests that someone else may have been there and took the shot at Spencer. Spencer heads home and awaits the arrivial of her mother. When Veronica arrives she apologizes for not making it home sooner and says Mr. H is on his way. She asks what happened and Spencer gives her the run down of what went down with Jenna, Noel, and Mary Drake. She tells her that Mary Drake claimed to be her birth mother. Veronica doesn't deny it, just reminds Spencer that Mary is crazy. Finally Veronica breaks down and tells her that Jessica DiLaurentis had come to visit her and told her about her twin sister who was in Radley. They said she was pregnant and while they didn't know the father of Charles/Charlotte, they knew the father of this baby. Apparently Mr. Hastings thought he had run into Jessica, when it was actually Mary Drake, they slept together and she got pregnant. Veronica agreed to take the baby. She waited outside and Spencer was brought to her. Spencer can't believe it. She doesn't understand why her mother stayed with her father with everything he has done to her. She disappears into the barn.



Hanna takes Aria to look at wedding venues. At their favorite one they run into Holden. Remember him from high school? Yeah. Hanna gets a call from Mona and disappears. Holden offers to show Aria around his sister's place. He asks how she's doing and who she is getting married to. When he finds out it's Mr. Fitz, he is supportive. He asks Aria what they want for their wedding, and she can't answer. Holden and Aria run into Ezra on the street. He tells her that Nicole's parents called and he's going to New York. Aria looks visibly saddened about this, but says goodbye.

At Rosewood High, tension brews between Paige and Ali when they resort trading insults during a committee meeting. Emily tries to intervene, but is unsuccessful. These three working together is going to be nothing if not interesting. Emily confronts Ali about it afterwards and she blames it on her pregnancy and her ruined life. Em reminds her that nothing is going well for anyone and Ali brings up that she's pregnant with her scheming sham of a husband who used her, robbed her, medicated her, and is now gone. Emily tried to remind her that she's not alone. Ali questions if she should tell the others.



Meanwhile, Spencer drinks some wine to drown her sorrows and decides to play the game. She picks up the phone attached to the side and places it on the "home" section. The creepy game lights up and asks her to pick "truth or dare." Spencer picks "dare" and is told to visit Toby. She visits him and they sit and talk in the hospital. He can't believe a deer caused his accident and wonders if they'll ever really get out of Rosewood. After she meets with Toby, she returns home and the fame spits out an envelope. She reads a letter from Mary written while she was in Radley to her newborn daughter. She wishes her daughter well and is sorry she was born in a madhouse. Spencer falls asleep with the letter and Veronica is saddened when she sees it.

Hanna meets Mona who introduces her to a Senator's daughter who is interested in her clothes. The woman comes to Hanna's and tries on some outfits before telling Hanna that she'd email the boss lady her top choices to wear. When she leaves, Hanna is furious that Mona is selling herself as the boss. Mona comes over and the girls talk it out. Mona tells Hanna that it was a misunderstanding and she will fix it, she promises that she knows Hanna is running the show.


The girls meet at Spencer's and she confesses that she started playing the game. Everyone is pissed. She apologizes and says she wasn't thinking. The girls try to decide what to do and Hanna goes to destroy the game, but before she does a video starts playing on the phone screen. It's a video of them where they buried Rollins' body. It says "can't stop playing now." They realize that they're trapped and must finish the game or the video will go to the police and the accidental murder and ensuing cover up of Archer/Elliot will be discovered.

We finally see Jenna who looks a little scared until she is handed a book by a stranger. She begins reading the book in Braille and slowly smiles as she says "endgame." This is not good.
