Pretty Little Liars Eps 3 & 4

Episode 3

So this season is all about wearing masks? Aria, Emily, and Hanna track down a very creepy mask maker who made the Alli mask that they found in Mona's things. In order for him to tell them about making Alli's masks (she had a bunch made and then destroyed the mold, or so we're told), Emily has to have her own made. Good thing she's a swimmer, because that must have been a long breath with her face covered in plaster with absolutely no air holes. Meanwhile Hanna snoops out back and find a... Melissa mask.

Melissa is back in town, acting extra snooty, and meeting the new cop.

Toby and Spencer sneak into Radley and discover that his mother couldn't have jumped out of the window that she's reported to have jumped out of.

A is apparently plotting against the PPLs' moms:

• Emily's mom grabs Emily while confronting her about stealing her painkillers for her shoulder and then gets "Family Services" called. 
• Aria's mom is maybe off to Austria with her hot, young pastry chef bf. 
• Hanna's mom looks progressively more guilty of Wilden's murder through Caleb's very blunt detective work. Not only did she skip the play in NY to come back to Rosewood, but she met Hanna's dad to ask him for money, and now Hanna's dad's gun is missing! At first, I thought that Hanna and Ashley's conversation through the locked door was going to end badly, somehow, but she was just running a bath. 
• Is Spencer's mom invincible? Does that mean Melissa is A?

And Aria hangs out with Jake again. Her "TV at home date with new guy" outfit consisting of knee high boots and a shredded shirt was almost my favorite outfit of the episode, but Spencer wins out with this bananas high-low dress and boot combo that she wore to school: 

Episode 4

This episode was pretty uneventful (even wardrobe-wise) until the Melissa information-dump at the end. 

• Toby found out basically nothing from his mom's now-senile doctor except a vague warning about a "blonde girl."
• Wilden had some vaguely criminal-seeming items in his safety deposit box.
• Emily's torn rotator cuff will keep her from swimming.
• Aria is not ready to be dating Jake yet, as demonstrated by her run in with Malcom (without Ezra).

After the hilarious segment of Spencer narrating their very A-like plot to find out Melissa's connection to the masks, we find out that:

• Melissa traded her face to the mask guy for info to see if Alli had it made before or after her disappearance.
• Wilden and Melissa wore the same costume on the Halloween train, and it was Wilden who tried to kill Spencer and Aria, on orders from someone else. (I feel like I need to rewatch that ep, I can't remember what happened.)
• Jenna and Shauna were at the lodge to watch what was happening, but didn't start or save anyone from the fire. 

So basically, we still know nothing. Quote of the ep goes to Aria, when Jake asks about Ezra. "Is he a friend of the family?" he asks, to which Aria replies, "No, just one of my teachers." Awesome.
