Shippers aren't always the audience majority in any case, sometimes they're just the loudest *g*
So true.
It almost came across like he left Spencer to have a mental breakdown in order to convince Mona that he really was on her team and Spencer had to believe that too, but that seems kind of a cold stance to take from someone that was in love with Spencer...
I'm torn on the subject, myself. It was quite an effective tactic to be convincing to both the characters and the audience, but at the same time, once Spencer joined in she was able to go under the radar to get in contact with Toby, then it really shouldn't have been a hard task on doing the same thing to explain himself earlier on. I mean, I definitely liked Spencer's arc during that, as painful as it was seeing her go down that road, because I love watching Troian's acting as she spun out of control. But, idk, I felt that in the end everything she went through sort of disappeared in light of the revelation, you know?
But I have to admit, this made me really wish they had extended that storyline a bit more, especially with Spencer being recruited and both she and Toby being on the inside and seeing the goings on and whatnot. That would have been interesting, imo.
