"Pretty Little Liars" Season 2, Episode 13, "The First Secret"


"The First Secret," which is episode 13 of the second season of "Pretty Little Liars," is a unique episode. This Halloween special is shot from Allison's point of view. This has not been done before since all of the other episodes take place after Allison's death. In this episode we find out how Allison knew about each of the other four girls' biggest secrets and we get to witness how she uses them to manipulate and bully the other four girls, Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily. Allison finds out that Aria's father, Byron, is cheating on her mother, Ella, when Aria and Allison see Byron kissing one of his students, Merideth, in his car. Throughout the episode, Allison makes fun of Hanna's weight with several fat jokes and she knows that this is an issue that is taking a toll on Hanna's self-esteem. Allison threatens to tell Spencer's sister Melissa that Spencer kissed her boyfriend if Spencer does not mention this to Melissa within a timely manner. Also, at the Halloween party that the girls attend, Allison catches Emily staring at another girl while the girl dances and realizes that Emily is gay. Allison uses all the girls' secrets to control them and to make sure that she is in charge at all times. She knows that the girls will be loyal to her because they would not want her to reveal their secrets. I love this episode because we get a chance to see Allison without it being a flashback from one of the other girls' perspective and we get to see how things were while Allison was still alive. I cannot wait until the second half of season 2 begins!
