NARRATOR: Previously on Pretty Little Liars:
EMILY: We've wanted this for so long. A life without "A," and Ali back.
People are preparing for Ali's return, and not with flowers and banners.
I'm going back to school.
If we stick together, everything is gonna be fine.
There is still a girl in that grave. Someone killed her.
And Jessica was going to say it was you.
I'm really worried that my dad tried to stop her.
- You think that your dad... - Yeah.
And so does my mom. She practically admitted it.
I can't stop thinking about Shana's family.
Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is her grandmother.
You're just gonna have to find a way to forgive yourself.
I can't tell if that's Mars or a satellite. Do you have the coordinates?
It says we're supposed to dress "appropriately" for the presentation.
Like, business conservative?
I'd rather wear vomit.
Okay, but we have to find the planet, so that we can study it.
Hanna.
There's no rule that says you have to walk into school with her.
Well, it's not written down, but it's understood.
I'm gonna walk with Ali, and everyone will think what they've always thought.
Which is what?
- That we're her puppets. - But you're not.
So who cares what they think? Hey.
People know who you are, Hanna.
They do?
Because lately, I don't.
EZRA: Are you still having nightmares about Shana?
I see her everywhere. Everywhere.
Like she's haunting me for what I did to her.
Aria, all right.
This isn't about Shana.
This is you doing this to yourself.
Okay?
I wish I could fix this for you.
And I know it's silly, but...
You know, I keep waiting for that A message.
You know, that text that's gonna come in...
...with a picture of me standing over Shana's dead body.
That picture doesn't exist.
You don't have to live in fear of your cell phone anymore.
Tell that to my right eye.
It still twitches every time I get a text.
[ALISON SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
EZRA: What is she doing out this late? - I don't know.
Since she's been back, she's practically lived in her bedroom.
Alison?
Is this a date?
- No. - No.
Ali, what are you doing? Who was that?
Oh, my dad forgot my enrollment forms on his desk.
And he's stuck at home on a call, so his flunky dropped me off.
I guess school is the kind of thing that my mom handled.
I haven't had a chance to say how sorry I am about your Mom.
[BUS DOOR OPENS] [CANE TAPPING]

[KETTLE WHISTLING]
Do you want me to talk to your Dad?
Good luck finding him. He's avoiding me like the plague.
Does Alison know? What you think he did to her mom?
It's not the kind of information I want to arm her with...
...until I know for sure that he did it.
So if action is character, then who is Alison now?
Been reading Fitzgerald?
I've been re-reading Fitzgerald.
I already know Alison's story, but I find it hard to picture her as a victim.
She seems really genuine...
...when she says what she's been through changed her.
- And I want to believe her. - But you don't.
Well, how can I believe a story that I haven't been told?
If the truth is in the details, we still don't know what happened.
Well, Spencer.
We wouldn't be us if we didn't believe in second chances.
But it's okay to close the door on someone if they're toxic.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
It's Jenna.
I didn't know you two were talking again.
We're not. I haven't talked to her since she moved to New York.
Hello?
- I'll be right there. - What's going on?
Shana is dead.
She could hardly get out the words, but Jenna said she was murdered.
EMILY: I'm sorry, Spence. Okay, nobody likes lying to Toby.
If he finds out what happened in New York...
Just tell him the truth.
If you're lying to protect me, you don't need to.
It's your decision, Spencer. It's not hers.
EMILY: Alison, you don't have to stand watch.
Spencer said that Toby was taking her home.
Jenna's not coming here.
He said she sounded broken.
She's still full-on blind, right?
Maybe she came back because she wants to be close to her family.
Okay, no offense, but if she's sad, she could cry in New York.
Let's face it. We blinded Jenna, we killed her girlfriend.
She's back to punish us for it.
Said with absolutely no tact, but you're right.
I had no idea that Jenna was living in New York.
Which means that Shana was lying...
...when she said that Jenna didn't know she was after us.
She came to finish what Shana started.
I still don't have time for a hobby.
What?
New normal was supposed to be a care-free senior year.
A is dead. And we're still plotting our zone defense in the dark.
You guys have put up with so much to help me.
And I've made a lot of enemies.
But it's not gonna be us against them tomorrow.
Just like I'm working to earn back your trust...
...I'm gonna try and make amends with everyone I hurt.
Does that include Jenna?
You've been through a lot worse.
You can do this.
Maybe she's not coming.
- No, she's coming. - We should've picked her up.
- Why didn't we? - Her dad wanted to drop her off.
Guys, I don't think she's coming. I think she's here.
BOY 1: Dead girl walking.
GIRL 1: It's her.
[CHATTERING]
GIRL 2: Once a bitch, always a bitch.
BOY 2: Hey, Ali, remember me?
- Do they love her or do they hate her? - Can't tell.
HANNA: Wait, Ali knows Cindy and Mindy?
- She used to call them gayrons. - Gayrons?
Yeah, like "gay morons."
So that's the Queen of Mean.
I can't watch this.
You're leaving?
- Ready? - Thanks for waiting for me.
Ali, do you know where your first class is?
I'm supposed to go to the guidance counselor's office.
But I can't remember where it is.
I've got chem lab. It's close. I can walk with you.
Thanks, Em.
I hope you have a good first day back.
Yeah, call us if you need us.
We'll meet up for lunch, okay?
Thanks.
For everything.
I can't believe she's actually back in school.
As abnormal as this is, it kind of feels normal.
Baby steps.
ADMIN [OVER PA]: Spencer Hastings, please report to the office.
Spencer Hastings, please report to the principal's office.
Mom?
Honey, I'm sorry to have to do this at school.
What's going on?
We have to go home and pack.
What for?
I'm leaving your father.
And you're coming with me.
Let's do something nobody else in school is doing today.
Let's talk about somebody other than Alison.
Gladly.
So my girlfriend is coming into town from Philly tonight.
I'm having a party so she can meet my friends.
I didn't know you had a girlfriend.
- What's she like? - See for yourself.
Party starts at 7.
- Can I bring Travis? - Of course.
Great. See you later.
Is Melissa coming with us?
You need a jacket, and, uh, that gray sweater that you love, let's bring that.
Mom...
I will answer questions when we get to the hotel.
Right now, stay focused on helping me get us out of here.
Mom, I need you to be honest with me. I will help, but I need to understand...
...what we're running from. - We're not running.
You pulled me out of school so we could be gone before Dad gets home.
- Does he even know we're leaving? - Spencer, when you latch onto things...
I just want to know the truth!
Your father did take me to a spa.
But I never checked in.
I was working with a private investigator.
And the night that Jessica was killed...
...your dad and Melissa told me that they went to a diner in Ridgeville.
That was a lie.
You think that both of them...
I thought your father and I had an understanding.
We had always agreed that no matter what, we would...
We would never involve you and Melissa in all of the...
All of the what?
Mom.
I want you to know that I'll take care of you.
We'll take care of each other.
Spence, call us back. We're getting worried.
I haven't seen Ali since first period. Maybe they skipped.
No, Ali sent a text. She's in guidance counselor hell.
God, with everything going on, I don't like not knowing where she is.
I was thinking about going to Jenna's after school.
I can swing by Spencer's.
Back up. Why would you be going to Jenna's?
Because I believe what Toby told Spencer.
And if Jenna's broken because of what I did...
...I don't know, maybe there's something I can do to help.
What could you do?
Yeah, you thought she was staring blind daggers at you.
Both of you back off, okay?
I'm just saying, if she's not looking for us or smelling for us, then...
Look, Hanna. I really hope that you find a hobby...
...and I hope you have a care-free senior year, Em.
I've got to find a way to live with what I did.
- Okay, Aria... - I can be sorry for her loss.
All right? That's what I can do.
The glee club's sponsoring a Frozen sing-along tonight.
I think I'm more of an Adele Dazeem than Idina Menzel.
It's free pizza on a school night.
You sure that doesn't trump 20 Questions with your mom?
Is it okay if I hum?
- I'll see you at 7? - Yeah.
Surprised you came to practice.
I heard you went home early.
I wasn't feeling well, but it passed.
Sure you didn't leave because of Alison?
I know she's your friend, but even being in the same room with her makes me feel sick.
If you're staying out of school to try and avoid her, she still has power over you.
Then she still has power over me.
Because I can't stand to be in the same room with her.
I hate seeing you so upset.
- I'm fine. - No, you're not.
You're one of the bravest people I know. Not gonna let you forget that.
Jenna?
[JENNA SOBBING]
JENNA: Who's there?
Is someone there?
Do you want me to leave?
It's okay if you stay.
Paige.
It's up to you, Emily.
Thanks for getting us together, Em.
Paige and I are both lucky to have you as a friend.
That's the only thing we have in common.
Paige?
I am ashamed...
...of the way I treated you.
I put people down...
...to feel better about myself.
You were a terrible person, Alison.
And I hated you for it.
I didn't care if you were dead.
I was happy you were gone.
- I'm sorry. - For what you did to me or for yourself?
For all of it.
I can't believe you can think about homework tonight.
And that you would trust me to give you your assignments.
You are actually the first person I thought of when she said that she was leaving him.
Because I remembered how hard it was for you when your dad left.
But I can't believe he'd risk everything to kill Mrs. D.
The police were asking questions about the girl that was in Ali's grave.
And he was just trying to protect me.
He thought Mrs. D was gonna set me up to take the fall for it.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Travis is downstairs.
Spencer, I saw your mom at the Bradbury yesterday. Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah. We're just having plumbing issues.
Oh. Tell Veronica we're here to help if you need anything.
Thanks, Mrs. Marin.
Spence, you could have told her the truth.
Not the murder, but about your parents splitting up.
She would never judge that.
I'm not really even sure why I lied.
I know that we've never really been a warm and fuzzy family...
...but I always thought that my parents were gonna stay together.
We're here for you, Spence.
I promise.
You want to order some food?
Uh, I already have plans. It's a school thing.
Can I tag along?
I invited Paige. So...
Oh.
Yeah, I get it.
So I'm sure this sounds lame, but do you care if I stay for a little bit?
My dad's working late and I just...
I don't want to go home to an empty house.
Yeah.
My mom's in the den if you need anything.
Em?
When I was talking to Paige...
...I realized that I owe you an apology too.
I always made you think that your feelings for me were totally one-sided.
That wasn't true.
Those kisses weren't just for practice.
I don't know what you want me to say.
You don't have to say anything.
Why are you telling me this now?
I just thought you should know.
[CHATTERING]
Caleb?
What are you doing here?
JOCK: Blondie, come hang out with us.
Could you keep it down, Biff?
This is a coffee shop, not the locker room.
JOCK: Are you looking for a fight?
No, no. He's just a little bit irritable.
He hasn't had his coffee yet.
- Caleb, when did you get back? BARISTA: Two coffees for Hanna.
And why haven't you called me?
BARISTA: Hanna?
Better get your coffees.
Caleb, where are you?
Why aren't you answering my calls? Are you mad at me?
Can you just call me back so I can find you?
[CHATTERING]
Oh. Dropped your phone.
Thank you.
God, this punch is so tasty.
Well, it's best consumed rapidly and repeatedly.
HANNA: Oh.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
LUCAS: Oh! Ha, ha.
HANNA: So, Lucas...
...where is your girlfriend?
Uh, I don't see her right now.
- Are you sure that she's even real? - Oh, she's real, all right.
Lucas, you're doing it with her.
Hanna. Shh.
Okay, now, that is consumed best rapidly and repeatedly.
Whoa, you okay?
Where have you been? I've been looking for you.
You're the one who's been on your phone.
Aw. Let me rub that bald head of yours.
Okay, come on.
- I think you've had enough. - Actually, you don't know what I think.
You don't even know the half of it.
Come on. Oh, there we go. Okay.
Did I just say "You don't know the half of it"?
TRAVIS: Mm-hm.
Here you go.
Bridget Wu just told me she saw Jenna tonight.
She's probably drunk.
Jenna or Bridget?
EMILY & PAIGE: Bridget.
She also told me Shana's dead.
- Who are these people? - Jenna is blind.
Used to go to our school. Her and Shana were dating, right?
- I don't know what they were. - You don't like her?
Alison and Jenna hated each other.
I didn't realize we had been drafted into their war before it was too late.
Too late for what?
EMCEE [OVER SPEAKER]: Three minutes till showtime, folks.
Find your seats and your duet partners.
So are you Anna or Elsa?
I'm humming.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
[ENGINE STARTS]
[GASPS]
I knew it was you in my room today.
You scared me.
- What were you doing in my house? - Um...
Do you want to?
Do you want to come inside? I can make some tea.
What I would like is an answer.
I heard about Shana.
So I was just coming to see if you were okay.
Why would you care if I'm okay?
Look, with Ali back, it's just...
It's bringing up a lot of stuff for everyone...
...and we all feel terrible about our part in the accident. I was...
Placating your guilt?
Jenna.
Look, I might be the last person on Earth that you want to talk to right now.
But for two years, we thought that Alison was dead.
So I know how it feels to lose someone.
Right. But you still have your friends.
I don't have anybody left.
Right. But I guess that is nobody's fault but my own.
Hey.
Are you sure you don't want to come in for that tea?
I didn't really know Shana that well, but if you...
If you wanted to come in and talk and tell me about her...
I think that would help.
Thank you.
- Aria. - Yeah.
[DOOR OPENS]
[CLATTERING NEARBY]
[WIND WHISTLING]
You don't scare me, Mona.
You're not as good of a liar as you used to be.
I know you were all in New York the night Shana was murdered.
And I can prove it.
What do you want, Mona?
What I've always wanted.
And that's for you to leave town.
I don't care where you go or how you get there.
I want you gone.
I'm not a threat to you.
You may have convinced Hanna and the others that you changed...
...and maybe you are trying to be a decent person.
But that won't last for long
People do change.
When someone shows me who they are, I believe them.
I don't need to be taught a lesson more than once.
You're suddenly the victim of what, Mona? My bullying?
What do you call what you did to those girls? You almost killed Hanna.
No one feels worse about that than I do.
But I'm all better now. Even the doctors say so.
I don't believe you.
If you could prove that we were in New York, you would have done it.
I'm back, and I'm staying. So get used to it.
- No one wants you here. - You're wrong, Mona.
Just like before.
Everyone wants to be my friend, and that's what you're afraid of.
All I had to do was say "I'm sorry" to Cindy and Mindy...
...and they were begging me to sit at their table.
You're scared.
Because you know it's not gonna take long for me to win over your army of losers.
I made you Loser Mona once, and you know I can do it again.
We don't have to do this.
Leave me alone.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]
ARIA: Hey, Han, we're all at Ali's.
Um, you might be asleep. Call when you get this.
I don't think it was a coincidence that all of you were busy tonight.
- Did you see who was driving? - It couldn't have been Mona.
She got into that church way too fast.
She had help.
It sounds like an ambush.
EMILY: Here. You're shaking.
Hey. Here.
Well, what did you do when she slapped you?
I just stared at her.
SPENCER: I think you're right.
If Mona had proof we were in New York, she would have used it.
She was just trying to scare you.
Well, she succeeded.
I would be madder than a skunk at Travis...
...if he weren't as baffled at your behavior as I am.
When you sober up, we're having a talk about consequences.
And yours won't just be a hangover.
HANNA: Okay, Mother.
If you don't stop spinning the room, I'm gonna throw up.
Thanks for not being mad at me.
Oh, I'm mad at you, Hanna.
But I know you won't remember, so we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Okay, Mother.
Why would you do this to yourself?
Caleb's back.
Ali is really missing her mom tonight.
Okay.
I will.
She's okay with me staying over.
She said to give you a big hug.
You probably don't remember what I told you when I pulled you out of that barn.
I remember every word.
I don't know what's real and what I made up.
You said you missed me the most.
You were the hardest one to leave behind.
- Hey. - Hey.
Look, I know that there's no more A, but you should seriously still lock your door.
You stopped by Paula's.
Yeah, it's key lime.
Why pie?
Why not pie?
Jenna's all alone now.
She's all alone, and she's blaming herself.
I wanted to tell her she should blame me.
You should both be blaming Shana. She was the one holding the gun, remember?
ARIA: Um...
Ali...
...she always thought that Jenna was manipulating Shana...
...but I think that Jenna actually loved her. - Look, Aria.
You have to stop beating yourself up for this.
I don't know how I'm gonna get past it.
Do you see this? This is what she did to me.
I'm lucky to be alive, and so are you.
Just like she told you. Remember?
Shana wasn't playing a game.
I'm so sorry.
I don't ever want to hear you say you're sorry again.
Ali, are you asleep?
Does that hurt?
I can handle it.
If you feel as bad as you look...
Not so loud.
Okay, so how does Mona know that we were in New York?
She's Mona.
But how did she send that text to your burner phone the night we got back into town?
The other day I learned how to make my own satellite on the web.
- What are you gonna do with a satellite? - Point is you can learn anything on the web.
Using a Bluetooth sniper rifle, the hacker can receive signals from 1000 yards away.
You can be bluesnarfed in seconds.
And the entire contents of your phone will be uploaded.
Wait, so Mona bluesnarfed us?
What's going on?
Some people really did hope that you changed.
We're not afraid of you, Mona.
Afraid of me?
[SCOFFS]
What lies has she told you?
Alison attacked me last night.
And when she started saying things like she could make me disappear...
...I turned my phone to video.
You're scared, because it's not gonna take long for me to win over your army of losers.
I made you Loser Mona once, and you know I can do it again.
[ALL GASP]
It's... Heh.
- That is the last time I underestimate that bitch. - How are you gonna spin this one, Ali?
We know you're a great liar, so I'm sure this is gonna be good.
Everything I told you last night was true. She slapped me first, I swear it.
I didn't tell you I slapped her back, because I felt terrible.
"Loser Mona"? Really? Are we back to that again?
I know how it looks, but you know what she's capable of. I mean, she set me up.
Come on. Mona's found ways to trick us into believing things were real when they're not.
I mean, Spence, you landed in Radley because of one of those elaborate stunts she pulled.
Maybe Mona deserved it. But you went out of your way to lie to us. Again.
Nice car.
It used to be mine.
They don't want things the way they were.
They remember how Alison treated them. Like they were her dolls.
Good. Then maybe we can really get rid of her.
[VEHICLE APPROACHES]
So, what does a world without A look like?
Well, it turns out the Hastings don't need A to make a mess of things.
We can do that all on our own.
Are you mad at me for waiting so long to tell you?
Spence. Get over here.
All I want you to know...
...is that you're never alone.
Not even for a second.
I thought I'd find you here.
Why haven't you returned my calls?
Travis is a nice guy.
I didn't come back to screw that up.
So why did you come back?
Did you change your hair because Alison is back?
Probably.
ALISON: Em. - Hello.
ALISON: I know I screwed up.
Em, will you look at me, please?
Why wouldn't you just tell us the truth?
It's so much easier than lying.
I didn't tell you everything because I was afraid that I was gonna lose you.
Please.
It's not gonna fix this.
ANCHOR [ON TV]: Breaking news tonight in the investigation of the Jane Doe...
