‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 4, episode 14 review: Are Hanna and Caleb no more?
“Pretty Little Liars” is back with all-new episodes, and this meant an opportunity to fully dive in and embrace the craziness yet again.
So what happened over the course of this hour? Let’s just say that we met a whole chorus of new people, saw Ezra in a new light thanks to the reveal that he was “A,” and also witnessed what was one heck of a quagmire when it comes to Hanna and Caleb. He had some unfinished business in Ravenswood, but the problem is that he was not really able to tell her much of anything as to what in the world was going on there. That is frustrating … and we get it, given that we did basically watch Caleb be all enigmatic and take the martyr approach with her. Are these two done? It seems like they could be.
Away from this relationship, the investigation to figure out who was buried in Ali’s casket took a turn, as we started to see whether or not a different young woman who died under similar circumstances could have been the victim. Unfortunately, they really did not learn anything about this “Jane Doe” outside of some more red herrings.
Meanwhile, Ezra showed Aria a new place that could very well be a lair of sorts for him, and these two continue to dance around the subject of whether or not they could be together again down the road. We are really just trying to get to the major point here in that other than the Hanna and Caleb story, we would have liked to see more actually happen in this episode. Instead, we had some conversations about taking down Radley and figuring out if Toby’s mom really killed herself, not really enough when it comes to answers. Grade: B-.

I didn’t like the way Hanna and Caleb said their goodbyes. I mean, of course she had a right to be suspicious, he wasn’t telling her anything! I’m actually watching Ravenswood right now and I saw a very interesting scene between Caleb and Miranda. Caleb tells Miranda that he and Hanna broke up, but that he didn’t tell Hanna that Miranda was dead (or anything at all really) in an attempt to protect Hanna. Apparently, Miranda hates the idea that Hanna thinks she stole Caleb from her. Caleb said he couldn’t get Hanna killed by involving her, after all, Miranda died. It the only time I really saw Caleb express himself about the situation. Also, I was so upset that Hanna and Caleb didn’t share a goodbye kiss! I feel like if Caleb would’ve trusted Hanna (I’m pretty sure she could handle the truth. She’s proven herself to be pretty strong), she would’ve understood, offered to help, given him support and they could’ve easily still been together!
I just think it was a weak way to end what was such a great relationship. It was obvious that the writers had no idea how to end the almost perfect relationship that was Haleb. Personally, they could have kept it long distance, but apparently the original idea (that Caleb and Miranda were not going to flirt and they we’re going to be a stable friendship/sibling relationship) wasn’t good enough, so they had to ruin Haleb.
I just always thought they were perfect since day one. Break-ups are hard.
