Description

It's season finale time again! We had an impromptu in-person recording to cover 2.24, ”If These Dolls Could Talk”, and 2.25, “UnmAsked”, where we got things we’ve been waiting for all season like Lost Woods Resort; Mona and Caleb kissing for... reasons; the A reveal; and, of course, DOLL HOSPITAL. We are confused about many different plot points, whether Mona actually caused the Liars to take Hanna away from her, and how peanut butter flavor could be confused for toffee. Turns out one of the Liars really is the unequivocal worst dressed, and we have data to prove it. See you next season, bitches!

Chickpeas Oh My Gosh: One-Pot Mediterranean Quinoa with Spinach and Chickpeas and Roasted Veggie Grain Bowl – make them separately, or take what you like from each recipe like Deepa’s mom did!

Fashion Analysis: Our best and worst outfits, and some others we mentioned!

Deepa’s Literary Analysis

• Ezra’s “forbidden love” (gross) collection includes Tristan and Isolde, a medieval chivalric romance (assumed to be 12th century Celtic in origin, later folded into the Arthurian legend), and the letters of (Peter) Abelard and Heloise, who were real-life 12th century French theologians 
• Psycho is in fact a book by Robert Bloch, but neither of us have ever read it, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Things We Referenced Related to PLL

• The plethora of Psycho references in this episode, including everything about Harold and the Lost Woods Resort, and Mona’s internal monologue at the end
• Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin’s “feminist” take on Psycho by…putting a dude in the shower

Things We Referenced Completely Unrelated to PLL

• The Annabelle doll legend – Unpacking The Eerie has a fun episode about this! 
• If you like creepy doll content, we recommend The Conjuring, M3GAN, and the creepy doll episodes of Supernatural ("Playthings") and อังคารคลุมโปง: เอ็กซ์ตรีม | Terror Tuesday: Extreme ("Our Little Sister")
