Previously on Pretty Little Liars:
- Hey, you okay? - Hey, cowboy. Where have you been?
- I think you've had enough. - You don't know what I think.
People are preparing for Ali's return, and it's not with flowers and welcome home banners.
What are you saying?
Your friend hurt a lot of people. Me included. And I'm not interested in continuing that.
I'm also not gonna out those who want to protect themselves.
- Maybe she's not coming. - Oh, she's coming.
Do you know where your first class is?
- What's going on? - I'm leaving your father.
Caleb, when did you get back?
I don't ever wanna hear you say you're sorry again.
Alison attacked me last night.
You're scared. You know it's not gonna take me long to win over your army of losers.
And you know I can do it again.
Why wouldn't you just tell us the truth?
It's not gonna fix this.
I've called this press conference because we received confirmation tonight...
... that the name of the victim that was buried alive on the DiLaurentis property...
... was Bethany Young.
She was a 17-year-old patient at the Radley Institution.
It's your house.
Was there anyone in there?
Toby.
- It's from A. - What does it say?
"Did you miss me, bitches?"
It can't be. Shana's dead.
Where's Toby?
I don't know.
Ripped By mstoll
Will you please call me later?
Okay. Bye.
- Well? What did Toby say? - Nobody was inside the house.
- Thank God. - Yeah, but his dad broke his leg...
...trying to avoid a tree coming down. - Well, it could've been worse.
Yeah. Caleb's with them at the hospital.
What does this mean?
- That we were wrong about Shana? - A's alive and knows that I killed her.
That's impossible. We all heard what Shana said.
She never said she was A. She never used those words.
- She had everything but the letter painted on her. - Em, come on.
We got a text seconds after the house blew up.
Either Shana can cause explosions from the grave, or A is back.
Or never left.
- Wait. What are you saying? - I think A took a nap and woke up tonight.
A's been here the whole time just watching us.
- Waiting for the right moment to resurface. - But why now?
That's what we have to figure out.
Hey.
You look like you got as much sleep as I did.
I was with Toby until about an hour ago.
How is he?
Still pretty shaken.
I still don't get why A would blow up his house...
...when we were all just three doors down. - A doesn't shoot and miss.
There has to be a reason.
Did you see this?
Wait. That's it?
They're not looking into what caused the leak?
The cops in this town should be riding around in clown cars.
You guys need to tell them who's behind this.
Tell them what?
- We don't have a face or a name. - Hanna, this isn't a game.
A blew up a house.
We can't.
- It would unravel too much. - Meaning?
Things happened while you were gone.
It's not the same as when you left.
I've noticed.
Caleb, I had no idea when you'd come back. Or if you'd ever come back.
I won't be staying long.
I'm thinking of going to Montecito for a while.
Well, I just assumed if...
...you weren't in Ravenswood, that you'd be here.
I don't wanna commit to anything.
Well, um...
...it's late. I should probably get to school.
Shana wasn't A. I killed an innocent person.
Shana wasn't innocent, Aria.
The cops won't believe that when they find I've been covering this up.
Only a matter of time before A exposes what I did.
We don't know if this person has any idea about what happened in New York.
What are you doing?
Looking for a connection.
A connection to what?
Between Mrs. DiLaurentis and Bethany Young.
Why?
I'm starting to think I wasn't too far off about my Mrs. D. Theory.
Mrs. D. Was on the board at Radley Sanitarium. Bethany was a patient there.
Bethany was buried in her yard in the same spot where Ali was buried.
You think that A killed Bethany and Mrs. D?
That would be a connection.
When I was writing my book, I interviewed some of the staff at Radley.
And I think the name "Bethany Young" came up.
I just don't know which file it's in.
Okay. I can help you look after school.
Hey. Hey.
We're gonna get through this.
Yeah.
I'll see you later.
Dad.
I didn't see your car outside.
It's in the garage.
Why aren't you at work?
A little hard to concentrate when your wife and daughter are living at a hotel.
- I have class in 10 minutes. - Spencer.
What the hell is going on?
You have to discuss that with mom.
I'd love to, but she won't return my calls.
We know that you lied about where you and Melissa were the night Mrs. DiLaurentis died.
How do you know that?
What will you do when the cops find the same pills that killed her in your cabinet?
- You think I did it? - You were just trying to protect me.
Damn right I've been trying.
But I'd never take a life to cover up something.
- I didn't do anything. - Neither did I.
Then where were you and Melissa?
Wait. They drove to the lake to talk?
That's what he said. Wouldn't say what they talked about or why he lied.
- Have you talked to Melissa? - Yeah. I left her, like, five messages.
Your mom did the right thing by leaving.
Yeah.
It's Ezra.
Hey.
I'm with Spencer.
Okay.
Yeah. Well, thanks for checking in. I'll see you later.
He's trying to find a link between Bethany and Mrs. D.
- Has he found one yet? - No.
He's left messages for his contacts at Radley. But so far, nothing.
And you're going over to Ezra's place later?
Yeah. I'm gonna help him sort through his files.
Is that the only reason?
Is there something going on between you?
No.
Then why did you bring him to Emily's last night?
Okay. We had a slip.
- "A slip"? - Well...
...technically, it was two slips. - Oh, my God. Aria.
- You said you'd never go there again. - I meant it when I said it.
Are you forgetting what he did to you?
- What he did to us? - Of course not.
You couldn't sleep for weeks after you found out about that book.
- He took a bullet for us. - Yeah...
...but that doesn't change the fact that he deceived you for years.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Somebody dropped their lunch tray, and she jumped out of her skin.
- So much for the new normal. - Yeah, it was too good to be true.
Too good to be true?
These last two weeks have been nothing but crap.
Is Toby still at the hospital? - Yeah. He's there with Jenna and her mom.
What's up with Caleb?
How long is he in town for?
- Who knows? - Oh, my God.
What is it?
Oh, my God. Ali.
"I buried your mom the same way I watched her bury you. A."
A killed my mother.
Who could it be? Mona? Someone working with Shana?
Yeah. Or someone we haven't even thought of yet.
Spence, are you okay?
My dad didn't do it.
I accused him of murder, but he didn't do it.
- Well, it made sense why you thought he did. - Unless your dad's A.
I'm sorry. I'm just putting it out there.
No. He can't be.
He thought that I killed Alison.
Now Bethany.
- Well, it still doesn't rule out your sister. - Some things never change.
And now we're back to square one.
No. Ezra thinks Bethany can ultimately lead us to A.
Okay. Then we should help Ezra, find out as much as we can about her.
- Aren't we stretching a little here? - You have a better plan?
I can't wait around for answers. I need to leave town. Now.
But you just got back here.
The only reason I came back is because I thought that A was dead.
If A wanted to kill you, why not just do it?
Why play games and blow up a house?
I have no idea.
But I'm not sticking around to find out.
Okay. But if you leave Rosewood, then we can't protect you.
And besides, it's not like before. The cops are watching your every move.
The whole world knows you're alive. - Even if you could run...
...where would you hide?
This is absolutely ridiculous.
I am so disappointed in your lack of cooperation.
When you change your mind, there's my number. Think. Give me a call.
Okay. We're out of here. Let's go.
- Spencer. - Eddie. Hi.
Thank you for coming out.
- I hope I wasn't interrupting anything. - I have a few minutes.
- Great. - You look good. How are you doing?
Well.
Well enough to stay out of this place.
Did you hear about the Cavanaugh settlement?
I'm glad the family got some money.
They would have preferred the truth.
Heard about Mrs. DiLaurentis too.
Yeah.
I don't really think that it was a coincidence...
...that Bethany Young was found buried in her backyard. Do you?
Probably not.
Did you know Bethany well?
If I did, I can't talk about it.
Right. Okay.
Do you maybe wanna go get coffee later?
I can't talk about Bethany or any other patient.
Not to cops, or reporters...
...or you.
Look. I know that you have a set of rules that you have to stick to.
And I understand that. But somebody very close to me...
...might be framed for her murder.
So if you could just tell me anything at all...
...like if anybody from Rosewood ever visited her...
...or anything, it'd be such a great help. - I wish I could.
Eddie, you got a phone call.
- Good seeing you, Spencer. - Yeah.
I should never have come back here.
Look. I get that you're scared, Ali. We all do. That's why you're staying with me.
You can't just babysit me forever.
Wait. Don't just open it.
It's just Travis.
I'll be in the kitchen.
Hey, you.
This is a nice surprise.
Is it? Because we had plans to go to the Grille at 7.
Ah, I know you weren't drunk when we made them.
Look. I'm sorry. With everything going on, I totally spaced.
Travis, I would go, but Ali's in there.
And I really don't wanna leave her alone right now.
She's going through a tough time.
I saw Mona's video. Ali was the one making it tough.
Don't believe everything that you see. And about Lucas's party.
I hope that I didn't do anything too embarrassing.
You were trying to call someone all night.
I was?
I don't remember that, heh.
But I don't really remember anything after the room started spinning.
- Figured you wanted to be somewhere else. - Yeah. In bed with an ice pack.
So...
...we're okay?
Yeah. We're great.
I'll call you when Ali leaves.
Okay.
Later.
Ali?
I don't know. Just get there. Okay?
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. See you then.
Who were you on the phone with?
Doesn't matter.
Well, it sounded like you were making plans to go somewhere.
Were you?
Alison.
I can't live in a world where I jump every time the doorbell rings.
So, what, you're just gonna run away?
Please don't tell the girls...
...or try to stop me.
What are you gonna do?
Say that you were kidnapped again?
Do you think I wanna live like this?
Because I don't.
I'd love to stay, Hanna, but I can't.
Not while that psychopath is still out there.
And don't worry. After I'm gone...
...you can go back to focusing on your little love triangle.
Ali, wait.
I've made my decision, Hanna.
So have I.
I'm gonna help you.
Nothing in this pile either.
Okay.
That was a fun day.
Look, Ezra. What happened the other night...
Felt right. Didn't it?
- Doesn't mean that things can go back to the way that they were.
So, what does it mean?
Well, I'm not gonna pretend like I don't miss it. Us.
Because I do.
I do too.
Yeah, but then I remember...
...everything that happened. How we met. All the lies that you told.
- I wish I could go back and change things. - But you can't.
Now, the other night was a mistake.
Evening, Mr. Fitz. I'm Lieutenant Tanner, State Police.
- Mind if I ask you a few questions? - Sure. Yeah.
Oh, this was outside your door.
Great. Thank you so much.
Mind if I come in?
Sure. Of course.
Come in.
Moving out?
Oh, no. Just getting rid of some old school-files.
So, uh, what can I help you with, lieutenant?
Just some questions about Shana Fring.
Oh, I thought the New York detectives were handling the case.
They are.
But Shana was a former resident of Rosewood...
...so we're helping them gather further information.
Yeah. I see. I see.
Did you know Shana well?
Uh, no. She was never actually a student of mine.
Hmm. Ever tell her that your mother owned a theater in New York?
No. I never mentioned that to any of my students.
Wow, so it's just a coincidence that her body was found there.
It came as quite a shock to me and my family.
You were shot the night before Shana was killed.
That's right.
When we found Shana...
...she had some gun residue on her sweatshirt.
Oh.
Sorry. What was the question?
Oh, um, do you remember anything about your mugger?
Something that would help the investigation.
Nothing that I haven't already said.
Well, that's all for now.
- Thank you for your time. - Yes. Of course.
Well, let me know if I can be of any further help, lieutenant.
I certainly will.
Give me those names, Paige. The ones conspiring with Mona.
I can't tell you.
Especially after the way Alison treated her.
Mona altered that video, Paige.
Even if she did, Mona didn't make her say those things.
Alison isn't sorry about the way she treated anybody.
She's still the same manipulative person she always was.
Whoever blew up the Cavanaugh house is now threatening her.
- I thought it was a gas leak. - Someone caused that leak.
And you think it's Mona?
It's possible.
With a little help from her friends.
Why would Mona blow up the Cavanaugh house?
That's what we're trying to figure out.
Look. I know how you feel about Alison. But could you live with yourself...
...if something happened to her knowing that you could've stopped it.
All your father did was substitute one ridiculous lie for another.
Maybe you'll change your mind if you talk to him.
- I don't even wanna look at him. - You're going to have to.
He, at least, deserves to know that you're gonna leave him.
Unless you expect me to deliver that news as well.
Oh, great. Your father's here.
I asked him to come.
Yeah. I got it. Okay.
Thanks.
Um, Noel's gonna pick me up from Princeton Station at 10.
You're taking the train?
Not from here. I need you to take me to Newton Station at 8.
No. No, I'll drive you to Princeton.
I wanna make sure you get there safely.
And my mom's out with Ted, so we can use her car.
You don't have to give me so much.
You can't just walk out of your house with a bag of clothes.
You're right.
But I wanna see my dad.
Before I leave.
I need to get a few things from my house.
Well, I'll drop you off now.
And then I'll go get cash for you.
Then just call me whenever you're ready to leave.
Thank you.
You're really saving me, Hanna.
Come on.
We need to get these boxes out of here, right now.
Let's just slow down for a second.
Tanner's probably coming back with a warrant.
- She's not on her way back here. - What? How can you say that?
She said she knows that Shana was the one that shot you.
Why would she wanna search my place?
She knows you're hiding something.
Well, she's gonna need more than suspicion to get a search warrant.
If she comes back, she'll prove you were lying about knowing Shana...
...and that Ali wasn't kidnapped.
I guess I could move the stuff into my storage unit.
Wait. No.
No. Because if it's registered in your name, they'll just gonna search that too.
Um...
Okay. Let's just put everything in my attic until we find a better place.
- My dad's in Syracuse until Sunday. - Okay. That's good idea.
Whoa, what is this?
My God, I think that's supposed to be Mrs. DiLaurentis.
How can you tell?
I mean, that's her house.
She was obsessed with her roses.
And she definitely wore scarves like that.
- Bethany. - How many Bethanys do you know?
One, and she was buried in Mrs. DiLaurentis's backyard.
Ezra, who would want you to have this?
And why?
My money's on A.
I still have my security cameras up in the hallway.
Hey. Didn't you hear me knocking?
No. Sorry.
Paige named names.
Lucas and Melissa are working with Mona.
- And they're all after Alison. - Wait. Melissa?
My God. Have you told Spencer?
No. Not yet. Where's Ali?
Um, she went home to have dinner with her dad.
- I'll go tell her. - No.
Why don't you wait till the morning to do that?
This is too important to wait.
- Eight o'clock train? - Yeah.
I was thinking of visiting my grandma.
Wrong direction, Hanna.
New Jersey isn't on the way to Oklahoma.
- Ali's leaving? - No. She's not.
She was going to, but I stopped her.
I don't believe you.
Emily, wait.
Okay. Fine. You're right.
How could you let her go without telling us?
- It's not safe for her here. - Yeah, like, she'll be safer out there all alone.
It's what she wants.
Are you sure that's the only reason why you're helping her?
What is that supposed to mean?
Your hair, your clothes.
A lot's changed with you since she's been back.
Oh, yeah. Nothing's changed with you?
I saw you holding her hand last night.
She was frightened.
She reached for me. What was I supposed to do? Slap her hand?
Don't you dare follow me.
Let's go, ladies.
Practice starts in one minute.
Dad?
Hey, where are you?
No, I didn't get your message.
No. It's okay.
Yeah. Don't worry. Um, I'll just sleep over at Hanna's tonight.
I love you too.
Bye, Dad.
Dad?
Help. No.
Oh, my God. Ali.
It's okay.
We're calling the police.
No, you can't do that.
And you can't call my dad either.
Ali, someone broke into your house and attacked you.
Exactly.
If anyone knows this happened, I'll never gonna be able to leave here.
Look. If you don't want anyone to know, fine. Okay?
But you're not going anywhere. At least, not tonight.
Mind if I come in?
Sure.
- Toby told me that I'd find you here. - What's up?
I don't know. Just wanted to see you.
Something happened?
Ali was gonna leave town tonight.
For good.
And I was helping her.
Look. Whoever killed Ali's mom is still out there.
I understand her wanting to go.
I realized I wasn't helping her to keep her safe.
Part of me wanted her gone.
That makes sense.
You never liked who you were when you were around her.
I still do...
...want her gone.
Hanna, whatever she stirred up inside of you, that's not gonna go away.
Even if she leaves.
I should know.
I left Ravenswood and what happened there is still with me.
What did happen?
And I know it's not just about you not knowing where Miranda is.
Well, I hope you decide to stay.
You see anything yet?
Just you arriving at my door.
Can't believe you still have camera in your hallway.
It makes sense with all the research material here.
So whoever dropped off that picture had to have done it after I arrived...
...but before Tanner came. - Yeah.
Okay. Now we wait.
You know, I've been thinking.
Maybe you should tell Tanner the truth about Shana.
You know, that she was the one that shot you.
Where's this coming from?
Ezra, you lied to the police. You could get into serious trouble.
Yeah, but if I tell truth now, they're gonna know I've been covering something up.
- God, I hate that I dragged you into this mess. - Hey. Hey.
You didn't.
I dragged myself into it when I decided to write a book.
Oh, did you see that?
No. Go back.
Do you know who that is?
It's Eddie Lamb, he works at Radley. One of the people I interviewed for the book.
Eddie Lamb?
That's who Spencer talked to today.
He wouldn't tell her a thing. Said it was against Radley policy.
I guess he's had a change of heart.
Okay, but why leave it for you and not Spencer?
It wasn't A, and whoever it was could've killed me and chose not to.
Who would wanna scare you like that?
Lucas.
- Your sister. - Melissa?
She's part of Mona's gang.
Look. We don't know who it is.
It was too dark to see anything.
Oh, my God.
How could this happen?
Because she was alone. Hanna wasn't with her.
- Where is Hanna? - I didn't call her.
- She was gonna help Ali leave town tonight. - What?
- Don't be pissed at her.
What happened is more proof that I should go.
We are no close to figuring out who A is.
That might not be true.
Eddie Lamb gave this to Ezra.
- Eddie? Wait. From Radley? - Yeah.
What is it supposed to be?
It's a drawing of my mother.
We think that Bethany drew that while she was in there.
So they did know each other.
Doesn't look like Bethany liked your mom too much.
Really? What gave it away?
Was it the demon or the spear?
- What did Eddie say? - He didn't.
He left it anonymously.
Ezra still has a camera in his hallway, and we saw it on the video.
I don't get it. Why would Eddie leave that?
Eddie wants Ezra to know that there's something to look into at Radley.
- One of us has to get in there. - I vote Spencer.
What? You know the place the best.
I can't go back in there. I was committed.
And her dad helped Toby's family win a settlement against Radley.
I think I have a way in.
"See how easy it is for me to kill you?"
"If you leave Rosewood, I will. A"
I don't get it.
Two years, A's been hunting you down like a warrior cat.
- Now... - A wants you alive and in town.
- But why? - What's worse than death?
I never thanked you for what you did tonight.
I didn't do anything.
You risked your life for me, Em.
Most people see danger, and they run in the opposite direction as fast as they can.
It's getting late.
Do you want me to take you home?
I don't wanna be alone tonight.
Can I stay here?
We'll just sleep.
I promise.
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
Hi.
Hey. I got you banana nut.
Thank you.
- Is Toby coming? - No.
He went with his step-mom over to the house to see if anything survived the fire.
Oh, that poor family.
If there's something I can do, let me know.
Yeah.
Hi.
I am with Spencer at the Brew.
Uh, I'll be there around noon.
I still have to get our stuff and check out of the hotel first.
Okay. Bye.
- Was that dad? - It was.
- Are we moving back home? - Yes.
But your father is moving out.
We decided it was the best thing for everyone.
You both decided this?
I don't understand, though. You said that everything went well.
- That you believed he was telling the truth. - I do.
- So? - Honey, leaving your dad...
...isn't about one lie. It's about years of them.
I thought you guys were happy.
We were.
Some of the time.
Mom, can't you please, please just give him one more chance?
Oh, honey.
I already have.
Too many.
- Good morning. - Yeah.
I did.
- It was a blast. - Yeah.
I didn't think that would happen.
You know what, I thought the same thing.
Hey.
- Hi. - What are you doing for lunch later?
Do you wanna eat with me? My treat.
I can't. I got things to do.
Look. I'm sorry for not calling you back last night.
- It just... There's been a lot... - Going on?
Right?
Yeah.
- I mean, with Ali back... - Caleb?
I saw him this morning at the Grille. I figured that's why you've been so distracted.
That's not the only reason.
Well, I'll give you one less thing to worry about.
Travis, wait.
I can't keep doing this if you're only in it halfway.
I like you too much for that.
You have a great school record, and we are looking for volunteers.
But you need to know that our patients can be challenging.
Even aggressive at times.
Are you sure you'd be comfortable working in this environment?
I'm comfortable.
Thank you for stopping here.
What's she doing here?
I don't know.
Hi.
Good morning, girls.
- Is your dad home? - You just missed him.
- He left for work a minute ago. - Oh.
- Is there anything I can help you with? - Well, actually, there is.
I would like it if you would come to the station with your dad and answer some questions.
- About what? - Your childhood friend.
Shana Fring.
I still can't believe she's gone.
Yeah. It's so sad.
So much tragedy for such a small town.
- Lf there's anything I can help you with... - Well, we we're hoping you could tell us...
...where you were the night she died. - I already did.
I was in Philly with the girls.
Specifically where in Philly?
You know, that kind of thing.
Well, you tell your dad to give me a call.
"A."
