For Jenna, being evil and manipulative has always been easy, and she’s blind…talk about scary, huh?

This week, Jenna’s back in Rosewood, and if you thought she was crazy before, you’ll love to know that she’s now one step closer to getting her eyesight back (which means all hell is about to break loose!). 

In this week’s episode of “Pretty Little Liars,” Jenna and Toby returned to town after she finally had her eye operation done. While Toby was kept busy catering to her hand-and-foot, Spencer struggled internally as she was reunited with her lost love.

Aria, who was mistaken for Vivian at the end of last week’s show, met up with Vivian’s friend Duncan and learned more about his relationship to Allie.

After first finding out that Vivian’s real name was Allison and that she was murdered the same weekend he last saw her, Duncan invited Aria for a second, more private meeting.

In an unexpected flight above town, he revealed to her that he may have loved Allie and that she had asked him to fly her from South Carolina to a field in Philadelphia the weekend she disappeared.

It was then that Aria realized that Allie had been back in town six to seven hours before she said she was. But where did she go, and how did anyone not see her?

Later, Jason gave a bag that belonged to Allison to the girls. In it was a bunch of junk, toys, an old music box, and a torn postcard. Strange, right? 

There didn’t seem to be anything useful in the collection of stuff, so the girls returned the bag to Jason, leaving it on his back porch. 

But it wasn’t the contents that were significant. It was the newspaper wrappings that protected the items that were unusual.

Hanna and Spencer noticed that they were dated from July 2009, meaning Allie had to have wrapped her belongings before she died. As they kept looking, they found one page that was dated from August that year.

Unlike the other pages, this one had a concert advertisement circled in bright red. Was this where Allie went during her secret hours in town?

When Hanna went back to retrieve the bag for more information, she heard a loud crash inside and saw Jenna trying to escape Jason’s house.

At the hospital, Jenna said Jason texted her saying he needed to talk, but he said he didn’t send that message. In fact, he wasn’t even home when Jenna arrived.

After finding out that Hanna saved her, Jenna was emotionally overwhelmed and extremely shocked. Her one question to Hanna was, why? 

Hanna’s one response was, “You’re welcome.” (Girls are so dramatic.)

Good deeds are still surrounded by bad intentions as ‘A’ remains on the loose. One thing we know for sure is that Jenna is not ‘A’, since 'A' clearly set Jason's house on fire. 

“Where there’s smoke, there’s payback.” –A
