EscApe From New York: episode recap!

Season 5 of Pretty Little Liars premiered last night (June 10), with the first episode titled 'EscApe From New York'. In my opinion, this episode was the best season premiere so far, beginning right where the season four finale left off, the episode gave so many answers - and revelations! So I'm writing a quick/kind of brief recap for you guys. 

Melissa's secret from the season four finale is still a secret, although she wants to tell Detective Holbrook about it. But of course, Mr Hastings is not going to let that happen - he says that Mrs Hastings doesn't need to know about it either. But what IS the secret she isn't allowed to tell anybody? We still don't know. 

Mona is far from happy about Alison's return, in fact she's so UNhappy that Alison and the girls' faces are all over the news that she created some sort of anti-Alison army. Her 'army' includes Lucas (Yes, Lucas is back!), Melissa and plenty of others that have been targeted by Alison at some point in the past. Mona did try to enlist Paige into her 'little' scheme, although - as far as we know - she refused.

Ezra is alive. Yes, liars, you read that right! Ezra IS alive. After he got shot, Aria and Alison headed to the hospital to try to see if they could find out who A is, once and for all - and to make sure he's alive and well (under the circumstances), obviously. And we also found out who shot him. Shana, Ali's helper, is indeed A, and the person who shot Ezra on the rooftop. 

Bye bye, Cece! Ali's old friend, Cece Drake, escaped police custody and went to New York to find the girls, but mainly Alison. After a heartwarming speech to Alison about how they always find their way back to eachother, it was time for Cece to run off to board a plane - using the passport and plane ticket Noel bought Ali in the season four finale. It was also revealed that Cece was never actually Redcoat, but Alison asked her to wear it to distract A while she turned the sawmill off to save Emily in Ravenswood. So really, Alison AND Cece saved Emily's life. 

Shana's face-off with the girls. After receiving a phone call from Detective Holbrook at the Fitzgerald Theatre where Alison and the girls were staying, and tipping the police off to where they were - silly Alison, answered the phone! The girls were about to grab their stuff and run, when Shana - armed with a gun - sprung an attack on them. Finally stating her reason for doing everything - it was some twisted idea of justice for Jenna - Shana threatened to shoot the girls, when Aria came to the rescue, and whacked her round the head causing her to fall of the stage, and die. Yes, Shana is dead. 

If you think I've missed anything, or think there is any other important factors I should put into this quick recap, let me know in the comments or DM me on my instagram account.
