Remember where we left off? Toby was part of the A team and Mona was sneaking out of her room. Well, we are right back there. Mona is singing the Teddy bear picnic song and painting a mask. She puts it in her bed and sneaks out for the night. Just in time for Noel Cahn's Halloween party on a train. How much money does this kid have to reserve a WHOLE train? Of course everyone is there, except Caleb who cannot be seen with Hannah and Ezra who cannot go. But Paige goes with Emily and Spencer and Toby of course go. Before they get on the train, Garrett shows up at Spencer's and tells her they need to talk. Toby tells him to leave and he does. We know that A will be there, since in last episode he booked two tickets.
We also have a creepy scene with Hannah's mom and the priest handing out candy. A small, blonde girl comes in and wants to call her mom. If you remember her, she is the one from the tale that Alison told about the twins who stabbed one another and got locked up. I wonder if they are trying to allude to Ali's twin still being out there, etc. She goes to make a call and is freezing (aka ghost) and Hannah's mom puts two and two together, but not before the apparition is literally out the door.
On the train.....
We have live music by Adam Lambert! He sings two really great songs and even hits on Aria. Very cute! She is dressed as a flapper, Hannah as Marilyn, Spencer and Toby as Bonnie & Clyde, Emily as a sexy alien and Paige as someone in a suit. Jenna is there with Noel and they are still together. She has an eye patch on and gets made fun of, which is pretty fitting. At some point we see Caleb has snuck on as Phantom of the opera and kisses Hannah in secret.
The scary baby mask is there and puts something into Aria's drink. Cut to her locked in a crate in the back of the train as the baby is trying to kick her off. The rest of the girls notice her missing, but cannot find her yet. Hannah thinks she is kissing Caleb, but reveals the mask to be another masked figure, which I think is Mona.
Spencer is confronted by Garret who snuck onto the train. He tells her his story about fighting with Ali that night. Ali pushed Jenna so Jenna told him to kill her. He pretends to, but doesn't and since Jenna is blind, she doesn't know. He then leaves and comes back and sees Byron (yes, Aria's dad) talking to Ali. Weird right? She tells him to stay put as she gets Aria. Then Spencer gets attacked by the scary baby and almost choked up and Paige is there to save her. I have a feeling this was Toby. It seemed too tall and too strong to be Mona and she was busy with Hannah.
They finally find Aria in the crate and save her from being destroyed. A texts them saying someone wont make it. They set her free and in the same box is Garrett who is dead. They call the cops on board and everyone is shocked, but of course Noel swears that Aria did it. Jason is on board as well and somehow Toby shows up to comfort Spencer. Ezra rode alongside the train, heard about the danger and was there to hug Aria. The ice box with drinks gets knocked over and underneath it all is the dead body from the grave, Ali's. Everyone, even Noel, is mortified.
We cut back to Mona back in her bed, with the mask under her bead. And the real kicker? We see some dirt and land and a hand sticking up from under the ground. Is that Maya? Allison? Her twin? WHO? OMG.
We won't know anything until January 8th!! And I cannot WAIT - can you?
Thoughts.....
1. Jason is the only one left in NAT that is not dead. Ian and Garrett are both gone.
2. Do you think Ali had a thing with Byron and that is why she wanted Meredith out of the picture so bad?
3. Do you think Allison is alive?
