Watching Season 7, Episode 8. I just want to say how stupid are they not to make a copy of the flash drive?! Seriously, that's all it would have took...sometimes the writers don't even think. It makes the characters look stupid too. And at least Spencer is supposed to be the brains of the group. You would think she would have at least would have thought to make a copy before doing anything and hiding the copy...

The episode starts off with liars, Caleb & Mona trying to get a hold of Hanna one last time before calling the police fearing the worse has happened to her. The Rosewood PD show up at Spencer's house after putting an APB out for Noel Kahn who the liars assume kidnapped Hanna. Little do they know it's actually the other way around and Hanna has an unconscious Noel tied up trying to get him to admit he is A.D. Hannah gets frustrated that Noel won't wake up so she cuts his leg to take a sample of his blood to a lab along with Mary Drake's DNA to prove they're related. She then realizes she made a mistake after hearing the APB over the police scanners and she calls Mona to help her. A little while later Hanna appears and tells a bogus lie of how she went looking for the girl from the party that Noel pushed down the stairs. Hanna and Caleb go back to Lucas's place and admit they still have feelings for each other. Emily is staying the night at Alison's when Ali admits to her is pregnant. They are watching a movie when Ali kisses her & promises Emily it's not because of her feeling vulnerable about the pregnancy. The next morning Spencer and Toby share one last kiss before saying goodbye forever since Toby is moving away. The lab calls Hanna and of course Noel is not Mary Drake's child. She calls the girls and comes clean about what she did. They go to place where Hanna had Noel only to discover he had escaped and took the video camera with him. They get a text to meet Noel with the thumb drive in exchange for the camera. When the girls get to the location the soon realize it was death trap. Noel has a medieval axe chasing Hanna and Emily meanwhile Jenna has a gun going after Aria, Ali and Spencer. Jenna turns out lights saying now the girls mainly Ali will know what it's like to be her. Emily and Hanna fight off Noel when he lands on the axe and his head rolls down the stairs to the feet of the other girls. As they're trying to escape Jenna hears them and fires her gun but misses. As the girls are running down the stairs another shot and screaming is heard. The race back upstairs because they can't find Spencer. Mary Drake appears out of no where and helps Spencer who was shot in the shoulder. She then reveals to girls that she would never hurt Spencer because she is her daughter. The episode ends with Toby and Yvonne in a car accident with their fate up in the air and Jenna in the back of A.D.'s van. Overall I loved this episode and was by far the best mid-season finale.
A nice finale. Flawed but still good.

I know this finale is being rated the best episode ever. I just have to laugh at that because that is ridiculous. Because this episode has such a high rating, I am giving it a 1/10 just to try and lower it. my actual score would be 7.5/10 though.
First off, props to Marlene for FINALLY doing something. Noel is dead! Toby is dead! Yvonne is dead! Spencer is shot! All these sort of things! Yay! Something is finally happening.
However, they could have been done better. That ending should have been 15 minutes, not 7 minutes. Editing could have been better; A.D takes off his mask, drops it on Jenna, then within a LITERAL second he is in the front seat and driving the car. It doesn't make sense - clear it up editors.
Spencer being Mary's child was painfully obvious but I liked it. The music was excellent and Troian did a great job.
Disappointed in Toby's death. Toby has been a main character since season 1. They should have left it on a better cliffhanger. The -A ending should have come first, then the crash scene should have been last. It felt anti-climactic. I liked it, should have been placed at the end of the episode though. It is also HIGHLY, HIGHLY disappointing that his death was EXTREMELY predictable - Keegan Allen spoiled it weeks ago by saying his time on the set was up. It would have been amazing if him and others kept quiet and his death truly shocked us.
Paige is a waste. I liked Paige, but they're ruining her character. We all know that Emison is endgame, so they should have removed Paige from this season. The writers are turning her into an obsessive stalker just to make Emison happen. She should be gone and they should have developed Emison's relationship more throughout this season. Disappointed. I feel like Marlene is listening to those Twitter people who absolutely despise Paige. I like Emison and I want them developed more.
Nicole being alive - I predicted it but I was shocked when it was finally revealed.
Overall, a nice finale. It could have been better but I still liked it! It got things moving! 7/10.
Guys, please remember that Noel + Toby dying does not automatically make it the best episode of Pretty Little Liars ever.
