Dylan is back (yay!)  and coincidentally so is mouse man (boo) for our discussions of episodes 2.08, “Save the Date”, and 2.09, “Picture This”. We talk about ableism, mustard, staring at your friends’ lips, and which Liars have the most medically invasive stuff happen to them. We fill Dylan in on the wild shit that happens in the final season of the show, and Cameron tries to convince Dylan that PLL has ginger representation. Did you hear that Emily has a hole in her stomach?

Fashion Analysis

Best outfit was controversial! Cameron & Dylan chose the candy striper outfits, which Deepa says is cheating, while Deepa liked Hanna’s pink dress that Cameron thinks is gaudy. But we found consensus on Hanna’s getaway outfit and burnt orange cardigan

For worst, Cameron loathed Spencer’s donkey sweater, Deepa disliked Spencer’s school uniform/yacht club look, and Dylan loathed Aria’s weird necklace with square (?) stones (??) strung on it
