The previous season ended when each of the girls received a doll that decided their fates, and as this season nears its finale, the dolls are more than just a creepy present from ‘A’.  

Last week, the girls discovered the tiny shop where the dolls came from, and this week, they’re back for more answers.

In this week's episode of “Pretty Little Liars,” the girls finally got ahold of the woman who owns the doll shop, but it wasn’t her that they were particularly interested in getting to know.

A little boy in the store claimed he saw “Vivian” when she came in asking about a voodoo doll seen in the front window—the same doll Allie had received from ‘A’. 

He also told the girls that he warned Vivian to stop looking for answers because a man and woman wanted to hurt her. 

After figuring out that the couple both had dark hair and that the woman could see—therefore eliminating Jenna as a suspect—the girls’ prime target became Melissa (and quite frankly, Officer Garrett seems a bit fishy too). 

Meanwhile, ‘A’ had sent Mona another text message telling her to break up Hanna and Caleb. 

With Melissa as their number one suspect, the girls decided to stage a make-out scene between Caleb and Mona just as Melissa was walking by. 

Why? Well, the girls figured that if Melissa really was ‘A’, she would text Hanna immediately after witnessing the two. 

And that’s exactly what happened. Talk about making sacrifices for the better, Hanna!

Melissa became even more suspicious when she threatened Spencer for her plans to show police the video of Melissa in Allie’s room.

But before the girls could turn Melissa into the police, they had to be sure that all the other suspects—a.k.a. Jenna—were completely out of the question. 

In this week’s show, Jenna apologized to the girls and asked them to move on and away from the anger and hatred. Oh yeah, and she can see!

More importantly, she proved her innocence—or intelligence—when she gave Toby the missing page of Allison’s autopsy report, removing herself from the criminal spotlight and blaming Garrett at the same time. 

Meanwhile, Aria severed family ties after finding an application for a girls’ boarding school and threatening to publicize her father’s affair with his student. 

Spencer had dreams of Allison rummaging in her bag of old stuff, woke up to an open door and saw an open container of painkillers—the same one that Allie had been messing with in her dream.

At the end of the episode, Melissa and Garrett shared a very revealing kiss in the Hastings household.

The show reached a shocking close when the police interrupted their secret romance. 

After being told to hand over his gun, Officer Garrett was put under arrest for the murder of Allison Dilaurentis. 

Watch next week's episode to find out who 'A' is!
