This week, we cover 2.02, “The Goodbye Look”, and 2.03, “My Name is Trouble”! We discuss apologies, ableism, Ali flashbacks, whether there’s anyone buried in the DiLaurentis yard yet, and of course, the most chaotic characters. We use too many phrases from cooking shows, and Cameron sings a Deepa not-so-original song for us.
Our awesome theme song is composed by Ashok R. Chandran! You can find his other work at his website.

Things We Referenced Related to PLL:

- The Danby scout being Community’s banana man (content warning for zombies. yes, zombies)
- Scouting in Friday Night Lights
- Sooo many Kesha songs (We’ve decided the hummus song is referencing The Harold Song, a not super popular Kesha song from 2010)
