Max’s Pretty Little Liars: Summer School has had its creepy(ish) moments, with each “final” girl having to perform tasks as ordered by Bloody Rose or else their loved ones will be harmed. Episode six, “Hell House,” begins immediately after Noa (Maia Reficco) had her run-in with Bloody Rose.
She soaks her injured feet after being forced to walk on thorns as she gives her BFFs the rundown on what happened and how she escaped. Noa claims it was sheer luck that Jen (Ava Capri) saw her. After the girls welcome Jen to their nightmare, they discuss how there are only Imogen (Bailee Madison) and Tabby (Chandler Kinney) left on Bloody Rose’s list.
Later, Noa lies to Shawn (Alex Aiono) and says she has calluses on her feet from not breaking new shoes in. Jen insists he take the money she owes him when he tries not to.
Kelly (Mallory Bechtel) comes to summer school to promote Redemption House’s play. Imogen realizes the play is at her old house. Faran (Zaria) warns them whatever the Redemption House is, it’s going to be messed up. The girls agree to no more solo engagements with Bloody Rose.
Christian (Noah Alexander Gerry) informs Tabby that not only has Wes, the manager, not been in, but he also isn’t answering his calls. Tabby finds that to be weird.
The AC guy shows up at the theater to fix their unit and tells them he found their problem. Tabby thinks she sees a dead Wes, but it’s actually a dead critter. (The mistake is understandable, given all the craziness going on.)
Faran wants to know what Redemption House is, and Greg (Elias Kacavas) describes it as sort of like a play and also like a haunted house but religious. Curiosity piqued; she demands that he tell her everything about it.
Ash (Jordan Gonzalez) is irritated about Redemption House and Mouse (Malia Pyles) wants to know more. He claims it’s a Hell House, and Hell Houses are concentrated on hardcore hate. They take over locations and show “sinners” being punished.
Jen confronts Noa about what she plans to do about her and Shawn. Noa confesses that she has feelings for Jen but needs to hit pause. There’s too much going on right now.
The girls meet up at Imogen’s work, and Mouse fills them in on what is going on at Imogen’s old house. Imogen and Faran decide to go pay Kelly a visit.
Imogen asks Kelly why they are doing Redemption House at her place. According to Kelly, Pastor Malachi picked the location. Imogen wonders if Kelly even tried to stop him. Her nonresponse tells the girls the answer’s no. Kelly feels they are mistaken about Redemption House. Faran still isn’t buying it, so Kelly tries to sell it to Imogen. Faran leaves Kelly with the parting words, “Some people just can’t be saved.”
Imogen vents to Johnny (Antonio Cipriano) about what is happening at her house and why she is so upset. He knew her mother committed suicide, but he didn’t know she was the one who found her. Imogen tearfully tells Johnny about how she snuck into the house and cleaned her mother’s blood out of the bathtub and off the walls and how she, herself, almost died in that house.
Greg walks through the Redemption House setup for the first time and confronts Kelly about how messed up it is. She suggests he suck it up; he signed up for this and he is doing it. Period.
The girls stand across the street, debating if they want to go in. Suddenly, they find Chip’s mom standing in front of them, accusing Imogen and Tabby of lying about her son. After that run-in, they link arms and decide to go into Redemption House.
The girls quickly realize each room is about their lives, including the nights that Imogen and Tabby were raped. When they see Greg and Henry depicting gay men going to hell, Faran goes off on them, telling them they need to get their heads examined.
When they get to Imogen’s mom’s room, they find Kelly lying in bed with her wrists slit. Kelly, in character, says she’s sorry and doesn’t want to go to hell.
The girls have seen enough and leave, and Imogen spots an axe right outside the house. She smashes the electric box, cutting off power to the house.
The BFFs are done feeling sorry for Kelly. However, Imogen will not let Kelly off the hook without giving her a piece of her mind.
Pastor Malachi heads to the basement and discovers Bloody Rose is there. He thinks she’s just someone goofing around and offers to give Bloody Rose a tour. She responds by pulling out a knife and stabbing him in the head.
Tabby talks to Christian about what happened at Redemption House. He was right that it was a Hell House setup and was all about spreading hate. She also informs him about Chip’s crazy mom not believing them.
Mouse also informs Ash of what happened. Ash is concerned about trans kids, and Mouse suggests they throw a Pride party to offset what Hell House is doing.
Tuesday
Imogen shows up at Kelly’s house to confront her. How could Kelly ever think any of that was okay? Imogen threatens her, saying, “For someone who is so afraid of going to hell, get ready because I am about to make your life a living, breathing hell on earth every goddamn second of the day. Pray on that, b*tch.”
Tabby and Christian head over to Wes’s place to check on him since he hasn’t even bothered texting. After letting themselves in, they discover he’s been making masks – including an A mask. Christian believes Wes has been copying him. And it turns out, Wes has been trolling on Spooky Spaghetti.
Mouse pulls off a Pride party at the community pool. Noa sees Jen flirting with a girl, and Imogen and Tabby notice Johnny and Christian are getting along well. Greg tells Faran he not only quit Redemption House, but the church as well.
Noa comes clean about her and Jen in juvie…and not just juvie, but that they hooked up recently. Faran advises Noa to break up with Shawn sooner rather than later. Noa is so torn!
The girls decide to “turn” into demons, using Christian’s collection of masks, and scare everyone at Redemption House. They run into Greg and he wants to help. Faran agrees to let him join in on their plan.
Noa has plans to tell Shawn about Jen, but her plans hit a snag when an angry Shawn says someone broke into his house and stole jewelry. He accuses Noa of doing it and Noa realizes it was most likely Jen.
Noa confronts Jen and she admits she did indeed break into his house. Jen wants to know what is going with them and Noa, seemingly forgetting that Jen is a thief, asks her to give her one more night to think about things.
Back at Redemption House, the girls plan to sneak in and scare everyone while Christian stays outside to video it. As the girls go about the house scaring people, Imogen leaves the group to confront Kelly. But instead of finding Kelly, she finds a note from Bloody Rose that reads: “Sometimes a final girl doesn’t get a warning call.”
As the episode nears its end, Bloody Rose attacks Imogen. While she fights for her life, the guys are outside filming everyone running out of the house.
The girls realize Imogen isn’t back and then hear her scream. As they race to find her, Imogen’s putting up one hell of a fight. She is able to peel away Bloody Rose’s mask and when the girls ask her who it was, she replies, “My mom.”
