NARRATOR: Previously on Pretty Little Liars:
We'll find out where they're taking him and get you there.
[SIRENS WAILING]
The plan was to get Ali out of town, but now that we know A is after Ezra...
I get that A wants to shut Ezra up. Ali is a target.
- Exactly what is it you want us to do? - I want us to stick together.
The bigger we are, the harder she falls.
- Oh, my God. Are you okay? - What happened?
I saw Mrs. DiLaurentis in the woods and I tried to follow her.
She was giving a suitcase to somebody. I thought maybe it was Ali.
Jason, what's going on?
- I need space between me and Spencer. - Why?
Mom needs me, I'm here to help her.
- This isn't a game. - So, what is it?
Justice.
- For who? - Jenna.
- Spencer? - Surprise.
Hey, Shana.
[ALL SCREAMING]
You did what you had to do. Go home.
Ali? Are you okay?
Stop. You don't need to run anymore.
A is gone. Come on.
Ali, look. We talked about this.
You know it's the right decision.
Maybe I should go home first.
Speak to my mom.
Ali, your mother buried you.
I think it's more important that the police know you're alive before your mom does.
Yeah, you need to walk in there and tell them everything.
I mean, about Mona being A...
...Shana taking over where Mona left off, all of it.
Start with the night that you ran way.
No. Before that, you have to start with the Jenna thing.
Wait. What? Why?
She has to.
Shana was after us for payback for what happened to Jenna.
I can't do this.
- I can't. - No, you can.
Okay? You're not in this alone. A tortured all of us.
- And what happened to Shana... - Happened because of me.
And I can handle that part.
I think.
But, Ali, look, you're gonna have to cover the rest.
Ali.
Are we in agreement?
Ripped By mstoll
- Are you Detective Holbrook? HOLBROOK: I am.
I think you've been looking for me.
- I'm... - I know who you are.
I'm glad you're with your friends. Welcome home.
You have a lot to tell me.
Maybe we can begin with the night that you disappeared.
I didn't disappear.
I was kidnapped.
I was kidnapped and held hostage for two years.
And if it weren't for my friends, I wouldn't be standing here.
They saved my life.
We don't know who took this photo but it is dated.
So I'm assuming this wasn't your first visit home.
You have any memory of this night?
It was the night that I got away from him.
From your captor. How?
I jumped out of the car.
While you were blindfolded?
I tore it off, I ran into the woods so that he couldn't catch me.
But on the night of this photo...
...you managed to make it back to Rosewood and you found your friends.
I asked them to hide me.
You thought that they would be more helpful than the police?
Your parents?
I was scared. Okay?
I was scared that if I came back home and I was out in the open...
...that he'd find me again.
So how did you protect her?
They hid me in the woods.
In a shed that we all used to hang out in. After school, the weekends.
But you just said that they came to your rescue in Philadelphia.
Oh, Dad.
- Oh, my God. ALISON: Dad.
Was I sleeping on that bus? When did we discuss kidnapping?
- We didn't. - Why is it just her dad?
- Where's her mother? - I don't know.
Emily, call your mother.
Her flight was canceled because of the storm.
You're welcome to stay here as long as you need to.
Thank you.
I'II, uh, call her from outside.
Hold it.
Where are you going?
I'm so tired. I just wanted to go and take a shower.
And what? Go to bed?
Really?
Without telling me where you've been for the past few days.
You might have a hard time falling asleep...
...if I'm poking you every five seconds with a new question.
You knew Alison was alive for over a month...
...and you never said a word?
- I didn't mean to... - Why would you?
We made a promise.
Well, you obviously didn't think it through, did you?
Because there's still a dead girl in Alison's grave that the police...
I don't know who that is and I had nothing to do with it.
And whether you believe me or not, Mom, that is the truth.
[SOBS]
Wait.
I'm not accusing you of anything right now but poorjudgment.
While you were gone...
...your father and I were dragged down to that precinct.
Where's Dad?
In Philly.
They found your car and impounded it.
He went down there with Melissa to get it out.
Wait. Melissa's here?
- Is she back from London? - Oh, yes.
And don't expect any souvenirs because all she brought back was attitude.
And secrets.
Go on, get ready for bed.
ASHLEY: Did you ever plan on telling me the truth?
Of course I did.
But we had to wait until it felt safe.
Do you feel that way now?
- Yeah, kind of. - How?
The person who did this to Alison is still out there.
- Is this cheese old? - It's Havarti.
- Does it melt? - All cheese melts, Hanna.
Hey, look at me.
How did you feel when you found out Alison was alive?
What do you mean?
Sweetie, you have kept a lot of secrets from me...
...but this one is right up there with the Manhattan Project.
The what?
I don't understand how you got up in the morning...
...knowing that Alison was still in danger. Poor girl...
Mom, she wants to move on, okay?
The more people talk about it and ask a billion questions...
...the harder it's gonna be for her.
Yes, it was a nightmare, but it's over. And she needs it to end.
Hey.
Just sit down, okay? I'll make this for you.
Yes, it's Fitz. F-I-T-Z.
He got admitted on Saturday and he had surgery.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Yeah, come in.
Oh, I thought you were Dad.
He's downstairs. Hey, is it true?
Is Alison alive and back in her house?
Wow, that's insane.
I heard Dad telling Mom that some freak had her blindfolded and...
It's not a video game, Mike.
I'm not making a joke.
She's tough. I'm surprised she didn't kill the creep with her hands.
Just stop.
Please, stop.
Why is Mr. Fitz in the hospital?
What?
The door is made of wood, not plutonium.
He was in New York for the weekend and he got hurt.
What happened?
Is he gonna be okay?
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
I saw him yesterday. He's gonna be just fine.
Wait, you said he was in New York.
How did you see him if you guys were in Philly?
I didn't see him. I spoke to him.
Look, Mike, I'm exhausted, so I'm gonna go to sleep.
[SIGHS]
She never saw this person, Mom. She only heard his voice.
I guess he had her locked in a room or... I don't know.
Look, can we talk about this later, please?
Okay. Yeah, I love you too. Bye.
- What's wrong? - What's not?
We made a pact, Emily.
A is finally dead and we were all ready to get back to our lives.
Now, all of a sudden, we're back on Planet Alison.
- Okay, Spencer... - It's like its ninth grade all over again.
And we're here on the Whirly Girlie Ride.
Ali goes rogue and we're just expected to back up her story?
You're even adding to the lie. Why is she still controlling us?
Maybe she flipped last minute because she wanted to protect her mom.
Maybe she wants to hear why her mom did what she did...
...before it gets forced out of her.
- You're gonna stand here, defend Ali? - I'm not...
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
Okay, is it just me or is this a really weird time to detail your car?
EMILY: Does Jason not know that she's home?
Of course he knows.
The question is, why would you be squeegeeing your backseat...
...if your sister just got back from the dead?
What is that? Her phone?
Who sent you this?
KENNETH: Hey there.
I was thinking maybe you wanna sleep downstairs tonight.
You won't have to be in here by yourself.
It's okay, Dad.
I've been dreaming about this moment for a long time.
Sleeping in my own bed.
I understand.
I just...
I don't think I can ever let you out of my sight again.
Have you heard from Mom?
Uh, your brother and I have been trying to reach her.
I can't say I'm not worried, because I am.
I'm sure she's fine.
Alison, I know this may be asking for too much...
...but, um, I want you to feel safe.
I've asked the police to put up a barrier at the end of the street.
A lot of people are gonna wanna hear your story.
But you don't have to leave this house or talk to anybody until you're ready.
I, um...
I can't give you those years back, Alison. I can't.
But I promise I will do everything I can...
...to help you forget them.
Uh...
You remember this?
I've had it in my wallet since the night we lost you.
This is the little girl I refused to let go of.
Honey, you need to know that, ahem, your mom and I...
...we aren't living together anymore.
We decided a few months ago to get a divorce.
I know.
Emily told me.
I'm sorry, Dad.
So am I.
She's dead.
[CLASSICAL VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYING NEARBY]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
ARIA [OVER PHONE]: Hanna, what's going on?
- I have no idea. Who do you think sent it? - Sent what?
Hold on. Emily and Spencer seriously didn't tell you?
Not tell me what?
We thought you were freaked out about everything still.
- Hanna, talk to me. - Ali got a message on her phone.
She saw it when she opened up her purse at the station.
- That's why she lied to Holbrook. - A message from A?
A is dead, Aria. Remember?
ASHLEY: Hanna? Honey, you still up?
I gotta go.
[DOOR OPENS IN DISTANCE]
[FLOOR CREAKS]
Good morning. May I come in?
Of course.
KENNETH: I'm sorry to bother you.
ASHLEY: Please, you're not bothering me.
- I've been thinking about your family. KENNETH: Ashley, I need your help.
ASHLEY: Okay.
Can I offer you some coffee?
I can't imagine what this must be like for you and Jessica.
KENNETH: Have you heard from her?
ASHLEY: No.
I didn't go to the office today.
Our daughter is alive and home.
And her own mother isn't there to greet her.
Where is she?
ASHLEY: I believe that Jessica doesn't know that Alison's home.
You know things have not been good between me and her.
She changed the password on our business account.
If you could go through her e-mail...
Oh, I don't know if I could do that.
Is there a chance Jason might know where she is?
Oh, forget about Jason.
Maybe he's in a state of shock or maybe his brain is so deadened from drugs...
...that he can't act like a human anymore.
He hasn't shed a tear since he saw his sister.
I'm guessing it's shock.
Please, help me.
JASON: What are you doing? Ali, you can't be out here.
There is about 10 cars at the end of our street, all right?
- Press, police... - I'm not twerking though town, okay?
I just wanna sit on my porch.
You haven't asked me many questions.
How come?
Figured you might need your space.
What was Mom's reaction when she found out I was still alive?
She was stunned. What did you expect?
Get inside.
Can I help you?
I have an appointment with Mrs. DiLaurentis.
- Who are you? - Cathy Perez, County Shelter.
We arranged to bring Pepe over this morning.
Mrs. DiLaurentis wants to adopt him. Sit.
Oh, good boy.
My mother didn't order this.
It's a dog, cowboy. Not a pizza.
- And she did. - He's so smart.
Why was he at the shelter?
He's got issues.
Mostly with men.
Put him back in the van. Now.
What happens if we don't take him?
Basically, Mrs. D was the last stop on his train.
It's not pretty.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Need any help?
Oh, hey. Um...
No, I got it.
Hey, you heard about Alison, right?
She's alive.
Pretty twisted what happened to her.
Quite a story.
And that psycho's probably circling this town looking for his next victim.
Which is why we need to fight back.
What's in the box?
Whistles. I ordered one for every girl in this school.
I'm also asking the principal to get us special apps for our phones.
It's either this, or we all hire full-time bodyguards.
I'd apply for that job if you could stand being around me that much.
Gotta go. Principal Hackett's waiting for me.
Mona.
I miss you.
Em.
Wait up, my mom said to stay close to home.
I'm not going to school. I'm just giving Ali's phone back to her.
Hanna told Aria about the text.
- Why would she do that? - Because she's Hanna.
And now Aria's freaked out.
She thinks A is back and she's one text away from being turned in to the police.
A is dead.
Yeah, I know that.
But part of me thinks that text was Jenna's way of welcoming Alison home.
We can handle Jenna now. There's five of us and one of her.
Yeah, but we killed that her's her.
EMILY: What are you doing?
We never looked last night to see what Jason threw out.
And we probably should have. Look at this.
When was Jason in New York?
That's why no rush.
Are you channeling your Filipino grandmother?
To see Alison.
We knew that his whole visit to rehab was a big fat lie.
What if he's been following her for weeks?
What if Mrs. D's had him tracking her for months? Years?
You think Jason sent that text?
Spencer, if Ali told the whole truth, her mother would go down.
If Mrs. D thought that someone just killed her child...
...who else would she cover for besides her other one?
[HEAVY ENGLISH'S "21 FLIGHTS" PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]
She's so hard to love
[CLASSICAL VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]
[MUSIC STOPS]
EMILY: Ali, it can't be a coincidence.
Jason came back from New York the same night as us.
He was in my room last night.
Watching me sleep.
EMILY: Jason?
Oh, my God.
You can't stay here tonight.
Tell your dad you wanna sleep at Spencer's.
Never gonna happen.
He won't even let me walk to the mailbox.
Where are you in this, Spencer?
You haven't even said a word.
Should I be afraid of our big brother?
I know you told him.
Don't sweat it.
I'm even starting to think that my dad knows too.
So you think Jason's the one that slammed that rock in my head?
Is that why my mom has just magically disappeared...
...as soon as I decided to come home? - I don't know, maybe.
You were needling both of our families with that secret.
They probably both wanted you to shut up.
- You think that's why he went after me? - I can't say for sure.
But if your mom did choose him over you...
...she had every reason to make the rest of us look bad.
And we have been framed as pathological liars ever since then.
So if we ever did find out who hit you, nobody would believe us.
Wow, you really have given it some thought.
Look, my mom comes back tomorrow.
You can stay with us.
Emily, I just got back.
Dad's not gonna let me out for sleepovers.
Well, what are you gonna do?
I have a few ideas.
Well, can you let us in on them?
So we're not caught paddling around trying to play catch-up.
I told you, Spencer.
I made up that lie to protect Aria.
She kind of killed someone, remember?
- You could've consulted us first! EMILY: Okay, guys, please.
Stop.
What's done is done.
We need to focus our energy on who's trying to sink us now.
Hey, you just get up?
Yeah. What are you doing?
I'm, um, doing some work for Alison's father.
He wants me to get a lead on where Jessica might be.
I was about to open up some of her e-mails.
And I just can't do this.
Why?
Hanna, the last thing I wanna do is get in the middle of two people...
...who are going through a divorce.
It's not just invasion of privacy, it feels like betrayal.
I'm betting Mrs. D would rather have you...
...looking through her e-mails than the police.
And besides, Ali needs her mom right now.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
VERONICA: You take milk? Sugar? TOBY: Milk's great.
- Hey. - Hi.
When did you get back?
Late last night.
Or this morning.
- I think I had dinner on two continents. - Why didn't you call me?
Well, I thought I'd come by and see you.
Why? What's going on?
Melissa told your father and me that she saw Toby in London.
That's why she rushed back.
But apparently, that never happened.
What?
When I went to her place, Wren answered the door.
Said he was staying there and she wasn't in London.
Doesn't make sense.
Well, if you want, you can call him.
Wren? Oh, please. I'd rather stick a knife in the toaster.
I have a client to meet in town.
You, on the other hand, are staying close to home.
- Is that clear? - Yes.
Okay. Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Why did you go to London? - I wanted answers for you.
I figured if I could get your sister to look me in the eye...
...and tell me something... - Something truthful?
Right.
- Do you know about...? - Alison?
Yeah. I've heard some pretty weird stuff.
But I'd rather hear it from you.
Aria?
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
I just got your text, I was with Ali.
What are you doing?
If we've been out here hiding her for a month...
...it sure as hell needs to start looking like it.
- Seriously, you can't do this right now. - Yeah, you're right.
We should've been out here last night, filling this place after Alison got that text.
Oh, and thank you for keeping me in the dark about that.
What, am I your child?
We only did that because you were such a mess...
...when your dad came to the police station.
What? You thought if I got a good night's sleep...
...I just wake up in Candyland?
Okay, Aria, calm down.
- That text wasn't from A. - How do you know that?
Because I was there when Shana/A was killed.
Look, Spencer was right.
It's one thing not to contradict Ali's story, and it's another to add to it.
- We can't go down that rabbit hole again. - Yeah, well, I can't do nothing, all right?
Because if A knows I took down Shana, I'm gonna be the one...
Aria, Shana had been using us as target practice for months.
- What you did was purely self-defense. - It doesn't matter!
Someone is dead, all right?
And she will never be able to recover or apologize...
...or even graduate from high school because I killed her.
I killed her, Emily, and I don't know how I'm gonna be able to live with that.
[SIGHS]
Aria...
...in that moment, it was you or her.
Okay? I went through this after Nate.
You think that no one can understand what this feels like...
...but I've been there.
Remember when we used to sneak out here?
Our biggest problem was how to eat peanut butter with braces.
Is there enough paper in that printer?
Uh, yeah, there should be a couple pages in there.
- Do you want me to get you some more? - No, that's all right. I'll get it.

KENNETH: What's so pressing that you have to leave?
What's in Philly? Or should I ask who?
- I need to drop something off to a friend. - Right now?
I said after dinner.
- Your sister's been gone for nearly... - I'll wait till she sleeps.
What makes you think she can sleep?
Her mother is still not here.
And I'm thinking you're the only one who knows where she is.
Think what you want. I don't.
Jason, every time someone in this family walks out of this house, it's a new story.
And the last thing I want is you speaking to a damn reporter.
Oh, don't worry, Dad.
I won't embarrass you any more than I already have.
KENNETH: Emily.
I didn't know you were here.
Ali asked me to take Pepe for a walk.
Whose dog is that?
You brought home a dog?
JASON: He was dropped off this morning.
- Mom rescued him from the shelter. KENNETH: Really?
Well, maybe when you get to Philly...
...you can tell her there's more than a dog waiting for her back home.
It's okay.
- I can't do it anymore. MONA: Are you gonna go for it?
MIKE: I'm gonna do it. - You wanted it.
- Hello, Aria. - Hey, where have you been?
Dad told me to order dinner. There's a veggie...
I'm not hungry.
Were you walking in the dark all by yourself?
- Excuse me? MONA: Given what happened to Alison...
...I can't believe you'd walk to the curb without a police escort.
Hey, I borrowed this again.
What do you mean you borrowed it?
- As in I didn't take it and keep it. - Why would you borrow it at all?
I needed to put some music together for a project.
That violin music, was that coming from your room last night?
I guess. Sorry. I'll grab my jacket, take you home.
You can drop me off at the library. I still have some research to do.
- Mona? - Yeah.
You're doing your research in the library or in this house?
Your brother invited me to dinner.
But I'm actually really glad to see because I can give you this in person.
Go on, take it. I've got hundreds more.
If anything else, we can use what happened to Alison as a wake-up call.
- Nobody's safe. - What are you trying to prove, Mona?
- Is this a threat? - No, it's a whistle.
Put it between your lips and blow.
We all know where you were the night that Alison disappeared.
She told us about the time you spent together at the Lost Woods.
You have a few stories of your own to keep quiet, don't you?
Tell me, how is Mr. Fitz doing?
Will he make a full recovery?
MIKE: Can I have the car keys?
Aria?
There's a meditation center that Mrs. D once went to.
- You can try calling there. - Thank you.
And thank your mother for me.
We're just about to have dinner, if you girls wanna join us.
- Sure. - We can't tonight.
- Oh, right. Maybe tomorrow. - Anytime.
What's going on? Why can't I eat dinner?
Just get in the car, I have to show you something.
It's an update on Mrs. D.
Ali's dad thinks he's hiding her in Philly.
- Wait. Who's hiding her? - Jason.
Jason told his dad he had to drop something off to a friend in Philly.
Could that be code for New York?
What is this?
Mrs. D wrote that e-mail the night she skipped town but she never sent it.
It says, "I can't protect you anymore." Who would she have written that to?
[BOTH GASP]
What's up, Jason?
I just saw what you delivered.
- Your dad asked my mother... - Yeah, well, my mother didn't.
So maybe it's time people stay the hell out of places they don't belong.
That includes you.
- Follow him. - No, you follow him.
- I have to change my underwear. - Hanna, hurry up.
Okay? He might be going to see his mother. Hurry up.
There's no way his mom is in there.
Mrs. D wouldn't even walk down this street.
Why not? If she's hiding out...
...she's not gonna be doing it at the Four Seasons.
We need to ring the buzzer he pressed.
Maybe, Mrs. D will answer.
Come on.
Was it this one?
Or was it that one?
Who are you looking for?
Well, can I help you?
Um...
I heard that there might be a vacancy available for a sublet.
A sublet?
Who told you that, huh?
Who are you? Her real-estate agent?
Get out of here. Now!

No.

Please don't tell...
Someone really wants to reach you.
Well, they can wait.
- Never enough When I fought for you
Spence? What's going on?
- Nothing. - Does this have to do with Alison?
No.
Is this about Melissa?
No.
Trust me
We will fight that slowly
Did you follow me?
I'm not supposed to be out of my house.
But I had to come here to say goodbye.
The girl they made that for, she really is gone.
I can't be that person anymore, Mona.
I know you hated me.
And wanted me to go straight to hell.
Going there was easy.
It's the coming back that's hard.
But you and me, we understand each other.
I need you, Mona.
As a friend.
The truth will bury you in a New York minute.
In case you're wondering, that was me.
I sent that text.
I guess I should've signed my name...
...because I don't have to pretend to be anyone else anymore.
I don't have to hide, you do.
And you're gonna wish you stayed dead.
I'm going to the cops tonight. I have to.
- You guys, I can't hold on to this. - Aria, breathe.
Can we discuss this with all of us here?
- Where is Spencer? - She went next door...
...to distract Mr. DiLaurentis so we could sneak Ali over here.
She'd better haul ass, Jason's not making more stops tonight.
Guys, please, enough with Jason for a minute.
Mona knows that we were in New York. Don't you understand?
Only a matter of time...
...before she hands out balloons that say "Aria Killed Shana."
- Whistles? - Aria, stop. Okay?
- Mona does not know about Shana. - Then who does? Who?
Who is screwing with me?
- You keep telling me that A is dead. - A is dead, Aria.
Then why am I hearing a violin in my backyard?
- Who's the fiddler on my freaking roof? - Aria, listen to us.
Jason was the one in New York.
Once we can prove he's a threat that made Ali tell that kidnapping lie...
- How are we doing that? - I don't know.
That's why we're having a meeting.
Once the police are on to Mrs. D and Jason, then everything we've done...
...can be explained, Alison can finally tell the truth.
Ali?
Hey, you up there?
Hello?
It's late.
She may be asleep.
Or did you come by to take out the trash?
Jason.
Were you in New York the night that Ali came back to Rosewood?
Why? Why is that important?
I think you know why.
If you're trying to make a squirm because of something that you did...
What it is you think I did?
You think I'm the one who kidnapped her?
Where did that theory come from, huh? My father?
- No. - Really?
Because he is probably down at that precinct right now...
...sharing that theory with the cops.
Without my mother, who's gonna stop him?
Jason, why were you in New York?
[DOG BARKING]
Pepe?
- Pepe, what's wrong? - How does she know his name?
