Say what you will about Pretty Little Liars but at least it was not copaganda, like it was probably the most negative depiction of the police force I've ever seen in a teen show. All the cops in Rosewood were either pervs or corrupt (or both, looking at you Wilden) or flat-out incompetent to the point where it put the Liars in real danger, like Tanner. Once in a while I'll see a post about how the Liars should've gone to the police, and why didn't they go to the police, like the police has ever protected them. Every time they tried the police just accused them of something else, the police was as much of a threatening figure to their lives as A was, and frankly that was probably the most realistic part of the show

A week later, [Y/N] came to an empty home from school. After grabbing a snack, she decided to do some reading before starting her homework.

Just as she finished up a chapter, her phone rang from next to her on her bed. When she saw the caller was Spencer, she frowned in worry. Placing the bookmark on the recent page, she closed the book before answering her phone.

"Hey, Spence," she greeted, placing her book on the nightstand before sitting up on the bed again. "Everything okay?"

"Hey, [y/n/n]. Yeah, everything's fine!" Spencer answered rather enthusiastically, which made [Y/N]'s brows furrow.

"Alright, Spence, spill," she said in a playful stern voice and heard Spencer sigh on the other end.

"I may have called you to ask a favor," the brunette answered slowly.

"Sure, what is it?" asked [Y/N].

"Toby's working for Jason and I'm really worried," Spencer explained. "Can you check on him for me, please?"

"Wait, since when did Toby start working for Jason?" [Y/N] questioned, surprised.

"Since this afternoon," Spencer replied.

"You don't sound too happy about it," [Y/N] said.

"How can I be?" Spencer sighed. "For all we know, Jason could be hiding Ian, protecting him, in that creepy house."

"Spence," [Y/N] sighed this time. "I still don't think Jason would want to help his sister's murderer."

"Then, how do you explain the shadow I saw in his house yesterday?" Spencer challenged. "[y/n/n], I was right outside talking to him when I saw someone move upstairs. And, he told me he lived alone. He was clearly lying."

[Y/N] remained silent, processing Spencer's words. She still didn't believe Jason could be helping Ian hide.

However, she did find Jason's sudden return to Rosewood pretty strange. It was true that he didn't owe anyone explanation; yet, his cold demeanor towards her friends confused her because she had thought he had changed after working on Ali's memorial with them.

"Hello? Earth to [y/n/n]?" Spencer interrupted her from her thoughts.

"Sorry, I'm here," [Y/N] replied, shaking her head, hoping to remove her suspicious thoughts regarding Jason. "But, yeah, I'll go check on him."

"Thanks so much, [y/n/n], I owe you one," Spencer breathed out.

"No problem," smiled [Y/N]. "But, I have to ask you something."

"Sure," Spencer replied.

"You literally live right next door to Jason," [Y/N] spoke. "Why not just peak and make sure Toby's okay?"

"I tried," Spencer sighed out. "But, I couldn't see anything."

"It's okay," [Y/N] chuckled. "Alright, I'll check on your defenseless boyfriend and update you soon."

"You're very funny, you know that?" Spencer deadpanned.

"Sorry, I just had to," [Y/N] giggled. "Don't worry too much, alright? I'm sure Toby's okay."

"I'll try," Spencer replied. "Thanks again, [y/n/n]."

"Of course, talk to you later," [Y/N] answered and the two said their goodbyes before hanging up.

…

Once [Y/N] got near the DiLaurentis house, she noticed a shirtless and sweaty Toby first, who seemed to be hard at work with a shovel in his hands. With another few steps, she noticed Jason who was dressed in a tight blue t-shirt and faded denim jeans as he placed some heavy bags in a wheelbarrow.

She took a deep breath in to calm her racing heart as she walked closer to the two men. Her steps must've been quiet because neither Toby nor Jason took notice of her, lost in their work.

"Hello," she greeted, causing the two men to look up at her in surprise.

"Hello, [Y/N]," Jason greeted her back with a smile, standing straight as Toby did the same.

"Hey, [y/n/n], what are you doing here?" Toby asked, resting his hands on top of the shovel.

"A little birdie told me that you got a job so I figured I'd stop by and say congratulations," she replied, hoping her breathy voice didn't give away how nervous she was -- especially with Jason's gaze on her.

"Is that little birdie's name Spencer?" Toby asked, smiling mischievously.

"Of course, not," [Y/N] said, a little too fast for her liking. "Haven't you heard? My friends and I are spending some time apart. Doctor's orders."

"I just saw you guys together recently," Jason replied before Toby could and [Y/N] looked at him. She knew he was talking about the time he caught the girls sneaking out at night a couple of days ago.

[Y/N] looked back at Toby, who had a Cheshire cat grin on his face.

"I wonder if that was before or after the doctor's orders," he commented.

"It- it was before," [Y/N] replied slowly and shifted to look at Jason when she noticed Toby didn't believe her words.

"It's alright, I won't tell anyone," Jason chuckled, holding up his hands. A few moments later, he cleared his throat before asking, "I'm gonna grab a drink. Do you guys want something?"

"I'm okay," Toby replied just as [Y/N] said, "No, thank you."

Jason gave her a smile in return before turning to walk inside the house.

"Alright, [y/n/n], what are you really doing here?" Toby asked quietly once Jason had disappeared inside the house.

[Y/N] sighed and walked closer to Toby, glancing at the closed door of the DiLaurentis house once.

"Spencer sent me," she admitted, making sure to keep her voice as quiet as Toby.

"I had a feeling," Toby sighed.

"She's really worried," [Y/N] said.

"Why is she so scared about me working for Jason?" Toby asked in genuine confusion. "I mean, he's been nothing but nice to me so far."

"She thinks he's hiding Ian," [Y/N] whispered, taking another glance at the shut door.

"That's insane!" Toby said a little loudly when [Y/N] shushed him.

"I don't know what goes through your girlfriend's brain," [Y/N] shrugged playfully.

"What do you think?" Toby asked her suddenly.

"Sorry?" [Y/N] frowned.

"Do you think Jason's suspicious too?" Toby questioned her and [Y/N] dropped her gaze from his for a moment.

"He hasn't really given me a reason to be suspicious about him so far," she finally said, looking up at Toby, who nodded at her in understanding.

Before Toby could reply to her, Jason walked out of the house, carrying out a trash bag with him.

"I would invite you guys in but the place is kind of crazy," he said once he was closer to Toby and [Y/N].

He threw the bag to the side when it opened and several bloodied gauze fell out of it.

[Y/N] stiffened in her spot and her eyes widened at the sight. She looked at Toby, who looked at her, concerned. She had a feeling Toby might've been reconsidering their conversation and to be honest, so was she.

"Uh, I cut myself," Jason explained with an awkward chuckle, rubbing his palms in his jeans.

"Hope you're okay now," [Y/N] said meekly once she was able to get some words out.

"Yeah, it was just a small cut," Jason replied and [Y/N] nodded.

"Well, I should get going now," she said, slowly backing out of the DiLaurentis yard. "It was nice seeing you two. Good night."

"Good night, [Y/N]," Jason answered.

"Thanks for stopping by, [y/n/n]," Toby told her with a smile. "Text me when you get home, okay?"

"Will do," [Y/N] smiled back at him and gave one last wave to Jason before turning around and making her way towards her home.

While walking, she sent a quick text to Spencer, letting the latter know that Toby was okay. She decided to keep the suspicious-bloodied-gauze from Jason's trash to herself as she knew sharing this with Spencer would make her friend go on a dangerous hunt to know what was up with Jason.

Made a college of Hannily!! Hanna Marin and Emily Fields!!

Hannily is and was one of the best ships in PLL, in the pilot you see Hanna offering Em a flask just incase if Em needed it! Then when Emily was attacked at the homecoming dance by Toby, Hanna sat with Emily in her bedroom. She wanted to make sure she was OK and Hanna supported Emily by saying "We love Emily nobody cares who you're with" Hanna opened her heart to Em because Hanna has always been so supportive of her ❤ especially the scene from 4 or 3 Hanna sees that someone gave Emily a CD 💿 "pretty who made that?" She asks. "Somebody from school." Em days. Hanna gave her a smile. And said. "Well whoever made it must like you a lot. If there's someone in your life that cares about you then I'm happy for you. No matter who they are." Hanna says smiling. Opening her heart ❤ to Em. Then when Emily is sad that Toby got in a accident with his bike. Hanna comforted Em by saying to Spencer. "Spence if she liked him she can cry about it." Hanna says rubbing Emily’s shoulder. Then when Hanna got hit by a car, Emily called 911 and told them what happened. Emily was so scared that Hanna was going to die, she didn't die. Then in another episode, Hanna sits on Em's steps waited for Emily because she didn't want to be alone. Hanna comforted Emily about her move to Texas! In season 2, em is moved into Hanna’s room where they can bond more. When Hanna noticed Em's hurting because of her stomach pains, she asks em if she's OK. Hanna has always been the most caring supportive friend to Em! Emily should've been with Hanna, who has supported her, who has been there for her because they have so much in common and they are each other's partners! Partners in crime! I really wished Hannily happened!!

(Tyler honestly didn’t mind school. Sure people were jerks and the teacher were rude. But he didn’t mind. He was happy to have his friends Ruth and Richie….well….they were his nephew Pete’s friends but he loved to tag along with them. He had decided to hide in the library….he kinda was hiding from Jagerman after biting him again. He took out his anime book and read it, messing with his rubric cube)

“ stupid max…thinks he can hurt my nephew and his friends. Lucky I didn’t bite his arm off” he grumbles

[Toby is sitting at the library, he was supposed to meet up with his friend Spence, but he was busy, so Toby was sitting alone, finishing up his homework]

pll rewatch 2x06

it's time for a fashion show! (and hairspray. so much hairspray.)

In this discussion of Ian not being Ali’s murderer, Spencer would like everyone to remember that he still did try to kill her

Hanna calls Ezra “Ezra”, in the previous episode Emily called him “Fitz”, might pay attention to when Emily switches to “Ezra”

Spencer: I was always a romantic, under a thin veneer of pragmatism and few shockingly bad choices

I’ve always loved that quote as a self-aware summation of Spencer, but I’d forgotten it was said this early or so casually, in the middle of getting her friends to help her fold fashion show programs and being excited that they all! have! SOs!

Jason says Ali lived for this fashion show and we will never hear about the fashion show again, I do not think Jason knew his sister

Spencer is so horny re:kissing Toby, I am recalling the canonical order of when each liar gets to have sex for first time and chuckling

Spencer’s dad greets her with “Hey, champ”. Sometimes Spencer is so sportsball son-coded with him.

You know, out of all the Bad Dads on this show, Peter Hastings might be the more fun one. And there’s a real undercurrent of affection between him and Spence that I get. 

Speaking of fathers, Emily interrupts Pam giggling on the phone with Wayne (right outside Emily’s bedroom!) about how they totally had sex in Texas because she wants to him to look at her school essay before she submits it. I wonder if she’s always asked him or if it’s something they started doing when he got deployed. 

Who the fuck is in Jason’s house??? I’m going to be surprised by this ig

Jessica DiLaurentis’s lunch features an Alison flashback where she does the classic flashback one-two to Em and Hanna. (“Em tell me I’m hot” / “Hanna you are fat”)

Do you think Spencer puts “fashion show” next to “almost dying” on her resume?

I bet Spencer was MIA but I also bet Mona did not cc her on any of the relevant emails

Ella wins some good parent points with me by telling Aria that hey, if wearing Ali’s dress and looking through pictures of her is too much, she can tell Ali’s mom to fuck off

Ella immediately loses all those points and then some, because when her daughter tells her that some guy she knows blacked out for an entire night, maybe did something bad, and that her friends think it’s really convenient he doesn’t remember anything, Ella is not alarmed by this at all. I would have sirens going off in my head, that sounds so bad.

Toby is here to be a sweet boy building things while Spencer rants to him and I am completely okay with that. 

Poor Emily. She wants to sanity-check Samara flirting with Quinn right in front of her, but Hanna is too in her dad and Caleb feelings to care. Aria does not even notice anything wrong. I bet Aria’s like, that’s just how friends are, given her random slapping of Spencer’s butt while they share a runway later

Where is Spencer to defend Emily's honor in a relationship when you need her

Mom drink session! Ella and Ashley and Pam and some wine!

Intriguing to me that Pam asks Ashley to lodge Emily and not Ella. Pam is the most conservative parent but I bet she sees the Ashley single-mom household as Tom being the one to have fucked up, Ashley is more supervisory than Ella, and Ella let her kid dye her hair

Pam held on to that comment about the dyed hair for a year.

Best A message: MY DRESSES. MY GAME. MY RULES.

Over that messed up memorial video

A sort of goes back and forth on whether they are speaking from Ali's PoV, yeah?

I really like it when Emily gets jealous, she’s so funny when she pretends not to be because it comes out as snark

Also like Emily asking her mom about whether Wayne and her were exclusive when they dated, despite the obviousness of the answer. Samara is a nonentity but I think a fine mechanism for Emily and Pam to build a closer relationship

Emily says “till summer vacation” and “till the semester ends” at different times this episode about her staying in Rosewood and those are different times because we’re still in the first semester, yeah??

I would be less judgy about Pam ditching her kid if it was more marriage problems with Wayne than mere “I miss him.” Though Pam would not tell Emily if there were marriage problems so maybe that is what’s going on.

Just want you all to know that my dad has solved all of Spurs’ problems:

1. Direct quote: ‘why the fuck are they useless in the first half when they play like that in the second half?’

2. We never replaced Eriksen and we need a creative midfielder. And we need someone who can take free kicks.

3. Our defence hasn’t been the same since Jan and Toby left and while Cuti is amazing, we still need another centre half since we look like dog shit when he doesn’t play.

4. Conte is a quality manager, but given that our strength is our attack, we don’t need a defence minded manager. We need a manger who will allow us to play to our strengths.

5. Lolo is our best midfielder. Perisic is our best crosser.

6. Emerson is a better defender than attacker and he should not be getting up the pitch.

7. Bissouma and Skipp should play more since they are good players but instead we’d rather run the legs off Pierre (who he also thinks is a great player, but should be able to take a break sometimes). He also thinks Spence and Sessegnon are quality and should get more game time too.

8. He doesn’t necessarily think we needed to buy Richy (I disagree because he can play anywherealong the front 3 and a quality back up to Kane if he can’t play isn’t a bad thing) and playing Richy as a 9 will only work if we get a creative midfielder or play him with Kane, since Kane is our creative midfielder most of the time.

9. Our tactics should always be to go after teams, since we arguably have the best team of forward players in the League. Other teams should be scared of playing us, because of Kane, Richy, Deki and Sonny, but they aren’t because we spend the entire first half allowing them to come on to us and build confidence.

So basically sack Conte and get my dad in yeah?

ITV‘s post office drama that has led to an intense period of reckoning for multiple institutions and pushed the issue to the front pages of UK newspapers for weeks has found a U.S. home.

PBS Masterpiece has picked up Mr Bates vs the Post Office, which will air in April.

Starring BAFTA-winners Toby Jones and Monica Dolan, the four-part show launched at the start of 2024 and dramatizes what is now deemed one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in UK legal history.

When money started to seemingly disappear from its local branches, the government-owned Post Office wrongly blamed their own managers for its apparent loss. For more than a decade, hundreds were accused of theft and fraud, and many were even sent to prison – leaving lives, marriages, and reputations in ruins. But the issue was actually caused by errors in the Post Office’s own computer system – something it denied for years.

Since launch, the post office scandal has dominated UK newspapers and news websites for weeks now and numerous strides have been made in the drive for justice for hundreds of post office workers.

It has beaten Downton Abbey to become ITV’s biggest new drama launch in over a decade and is averaging 13.1M viewers per episode – a rare feet for a British show.

“Our ambition in telling this story was simply that the Subpostmasters felt heard,” said EP Patrick Spence, who produced for ITV Studios alongside Little Gem.

Susanne Simpson, Masterpiece EP, added: “Mr Bates vs The Post Office is a testament to the people who persisted in their search for truth and justice. The producers of this powerful drama have reignited the public interest in the Subpostmasters’ 20-year quest for justice. I’m incredibly proud that we will bring this story to the American audience.”
