Okay, this Season 6B “A” — can we call them “A”? — is getting to be a very strange mix of old and new. Old: Still texts, still knows way too much (and knows it way too fast) about the Liars, and still loves a good disguise. New: Has a disturbing penchant for off-brand emojis, texts

when the Liars respond, and has traded in the black hoodie and leather gloves outfit for some other garb (now we understand why they were searching “uniforms” at the end of last week). Character traits aside, this week we see relationships get more complicated, meet some new characters…and some new suspects.

We open with Spencer and Caleb waking up in a blissfully sun-soaked bedroom after their night of passion. But the haze wears off quickly when Spencer picks up her phone, sees the new “A” text (with devil emoji), and realizes that not only has everyone been freaking out all night while she was…getting freaky (sorry), but they’re all waiting for her at Chateau Radley. It’s not called that, but I refuse to call it “The Radley.” The Liars discuss who this new texter might be and seem convinced it’s Sara Harvey because a) she’s the worst and it’s probably her and b) Ali is on some dairy farm with Dr. Rollins (will she be Mrs. Rollins when she comes back, or is that still later? Hmm). Hanna decides to get really crazy and REPLY TO “A”. “Do I know you?” she writes. And in a bizarre turn of events, “A” replies: “Yes.” (But sans emoji. I sort of wish “A” would just commit to signing off each text with that devil face like old “A” signed with the initial.)

Another reason this “A” is weird: They seem less threatening and more…asking for help? After Hot Adult Lorenzo gives a press conference about Charlotte’s case from what looks like the White House (it’s not, but what was that?!), “A” texts the girls a picture of a 9-iron golf club and says, “I found what they’re looking for. Tell me who it belongs to.”

Since shifty Ezra exploded on the girls last week — and forgot to preface his rage with a simple “I didn’t kill Charlotte” — he’s the No. 1 suspect. And white guys

play golf, so Aria enlists Emily to help her investigate. While Aria gets the keys to Ezra’s vacant apartment (he’s gone because his new thing is to get depressed and leave town for a few days every so often), Emily has to distract Stoner Sabrina at the Brew. Emily doesn’t want to do it: “Breaking and entering,” she says. “It’s a crime.” Aria says, “It’s not like we’re stealing anything.” Aria, she literally just said the crime is just BREAKING in and ENTERING the apartment. That IS the crime. But okay, do it. They’re not really sure what to do when Aria gets inside — “Do we text a photo to Sara Harvey?” — but that question quickly becomes irrelevant when Aria hears a voicemail on Ezra’s machine 

“I have to talk to you about…what you think you saw last night,” Byron says. Woof. Just when you forget someone exists on this show, here they come a-murderin’.

Spencer and Caleb are cute and awkward in the Hastings campaign office, but the mood changes when a minion sets a stack of papers down in front of Spencer about the opposition (a.k.a. Mona’s employer). Here’s a fun twist: Not only is this the other candidate running against Spencer’s mom, but she has a perfect daughter named Yvonne Phillips, who is gorgeous, is pals with Caleb,

Not only that, but Spencer reads in this top-secret info packet that Toby has purchased a ring and is planning to propose to Yvonne at a family lunch. New relationship not feeling so light and fun anymore, is it? AND ALSO: While Spencer is outside reading the packet, someone takes photos of her — with the flash on — from inside a town car with tinted windows. Putting aside the fact that using the flash

the car would prevent the photos from actually turning out…this is creepy.

Caleb, with Spencer’s permission, decides to go out and visit Toby (and confess his sins). Yvonne shows up, too, and she and Toby giggle about watching old reruns of

(like, really old). Caleb mentions that when

likes a girl, he cooks her dinner, but when Toby likes a girl, he builds her a house. Ah, so the house wasn’t a Ryan-Gosling-in-

-like project to win Spencer back — it’s actually for Yvonne? You’d think, given the fact of this house and that engagement ring, that Toby might not be upset when Caleb eventually tells him about Spencer, but he is. Toby even takes one long, heartbroken glance at Caleb as he walks back into his trailer.

Hanna, the other side of this love hexagon, is talking to Emily about her nuptials, which still don’t have a date set. Does Hanna really want to marry Jordan if she hasn’t set a date? Hanna assures Emily that she does, but that she needs to tell Jordan and her mother about erasing the Chateau Radley footage and see if Jordan still wants to marry her after.

When Hanna tells Ashley what she’s done, Ashley is understandably horrified because the server farm that hosts the backup security footage will obviously have a copy — and not only will Aria show up on the tape, but the fact that Hanna erased it will come back to them, too. Hanna asks if they can go to the farm and get the tape, but Ashley tells her it’s not possible.

Jordan arrives (Hanna picks him up in Lucas’s Jag. This is not real life!), Hanna confesses, and he isn’t mad at all — in fact, he loves that she’s such a loyal friend she’d go to these lengths to protect her girls. Yeah, that’s sort of the way to look at it, Jordan. He calls the family lawyer to come save the day, but as Hanna is sharing her story, she gets a text from new “A,” warning her not to squeal to the “pig emoji, pig emoji” (cops, get it? “A” is funny…sort of) about the texts, or she’ll get blown up and broken hearted and — so many emojis, so little time to translate, you know? (I am really, really loving the onscreen texts, though.) Talking about the situation to Spencer, Hanna says my favorite line of the night — which sort of sums up the whole show — “My brain is telling me to be honest, but my PTSD is telling me to shut the hell up.”

When Jordan, Hanna, and Lawyer go to see Hot Lorenzo at the police station, Hanna is worried he’ll know she’s lying. But it turns out she doesn’t even need to speak to him (or gaze into those deep, brown eyes) — the server farm can’t find the footage, so Hanna’s safe for now. No one can figure out what happened, but then we cut to Ashley Marin, drinking scotch alone in her kitchen and holding the backup hard drive in her hand. She’s the most ferocious mama of them all — I would even call her an Honorary Liar, though that’s not a badge I imagine many people would want.
