Pretty Little Liars Recap: "Pretty Isn't The Point" (S05E21)



The girls search Mike's room for clues and they find a necklace in his gym back that has Morse code on it saying "I'm with you". They are suspicious and assume the necklace is for Ali. 
Hanna hires a pageant coach to ensure that she wins the pageant. Quickly learning that you have to be more than a pretty face to win the grand prize, Hanna turns to Emily for help when she claims that dancing is her talent. 

Emily meets Talia's husband Eric when he comes to work looking for her. She realizes that Talia told him that she was just a one time thing and he believed that he would be with Talia forever. While she's waiting for Hanna, she asks Ashley for advice on what to do. Caleb meets the girls in the dance room and informs them that Hanna's stepsister Kate has signed up for the pageant as well which completely infuriates Hanna. 
 
When she performs her dance with Emily for her coach, she gets infuriated at Kate and ruins her chance. The coach tells Hanna she isn't pageant material and she shouldn't go through with it. Hanna disappears into the hallway and overhears her coach invite Emily to join because she thinks Emily would win. Hanna gets upset and runs away. Emily goes after her but is stopped by Talia. She tells Talia that she and Eric talked and she can't do this with her. She goes after Hanna and tells her that she didn't accept the offer, but that she's going to and she is going to win for Hanna and give her the money for college because that is "what you do when you love someone."
 
Mike interrupts a study session between Aria and Andrew by yelling at his sister accusing her of snooping in his room. Andrew excuses himself and steps outside before Mike flips out on Aria telling her that if she goes in there again she'd regret it. He flips the table before leaving the room and Andrew rushes in seeing a shaken up Aria. She asks Andrew to help keep tabs on Mike and he agrees. Andrew follows Mike into the woods behind Mona's house and sees him leave something in a tree. He tries to find what it was, but he thinks he hears Mike coming back so he leaves.
 
Andrew meets up with Aria at the cupcake shop and tells her what happened. He offers to go back and find out what Mike left and she insists on going. He offers to go with her but Aria declines insiting that she will be fine on her own. He's clearly worried about her staying at the house alone with Mike, but she insists that it will be ok because her dad will be back that night.
 
 
 Spencer finds out that Jonny vandalized Hollis and hadn't been hired to paint the mural. She flips out on him and informs him that she had been arrested for murder and even though the charges were dropped she can't afford to mess up again if she wants to go to college. She reaches out to Melissa, asking if Wren could help her get into Oxford University. Jonny and Spencer make up and go to the college where Toby sees them talking. He's not happy about it and leaves. While Spencer and Jonny are walking down the street, he sees some of his art work from the mural in a gallery window. The gallery owner says that someone brought them by from the school so he owns them and Jonny has no claim to them. When Jonny finds out that one is sold, he decides to get them back. Spencer is determined to help and since he won't let her get her mom involved, she decides to drive his getaway car. She picks the lock for him and brings him cutters for the chains holding up the paintings. While he's getting the last one down, he trips the alarm and the two speed off. While at a gas station, Toby shows up to arrest Jonny. He and Spencer have a heated argument where he tells her to walk away because Tanner is still watching her. She leaves and calls her mom who posts Jonny's bail and kicks him out of the barn. When he returns to the house he tells Spencer what happened and she's upset about him having to leave. After she gives him some packing tape, he kisses her.



Aria goes into the woods behind Mona's house and finds the tree Andrew had told her about. She finds a package in the spot he mentioned and pulls a vile of blood from it. Mike shows up and yells at her causing her to drop the vile and run. She gets in her car and races home, running the house hoping her dad was there. Mike comes in after her and she threatens to call the police if he got any closer to her. Mike tells her the truth about Mona's death. He informs her, that he walked in on Mona taking her own blood and she showed him all of the viles of her own blood that she had been storing. Her plan came from A and she had to fake her death, frame Alison, and then she planned to double cross A when she found out who he/she/they were- then she'd set the record straight and come back and then Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily would be safe and free and Mona would be their hero. Mike was against it and they argued about it but he eventually agreed to keep quiet. Mike was concerned that A had double crossed Mona though because she hadn't shown up to any of their meetings and he visited Ali to see if she knew anything about A or the plan. He broke down crying that the blood was all he had left of Mona and that she had given it to him. Aria held her brother before meeting with her friends to share what he told her.



The girls decide that they need to talk to Ali, and try to figure out what's going on.
