Spencer tells her friends that she has the $2,000 to give to the man who has the information on ‘A,’ but the only ones that are going to meet with this man are Spencer and Aria. Emily and Hanna are peeved that their friends will be the first to find out who ‘A’ is, but Spencer is the bank and Aria is the face the man would only recognize.
Mona interrupts the girls to remind Hanna about picking out a dress for a party, but Hanna naturally forgets. During her conversation with Hanna, Mona is interrupted herself with a text from ‘A.’
At the Marin household, Officer Wilden pays a visit to ask Hanna a few follow-up questions about the day Hanna and her friends were at the morgue in their candy stripe outfits.
Meanwhile, Spencer reveals to her pregnant sister, Melissa, about Jason’s biological father and how their mother knew all along. She also tells Melissa that Ali knew about Jason.
At Rosewood High, Emily is with Paige finishing up a project, all the while still trying to make contact with Maya.
When Hanna is watching Mona try on her outfits for the party, she sees that Mona receives a text. Mona tells Hanna the threats that have been going on, like how ‘A’ knows that Mona stole the necklace she was wearing. Despite it being stolen, Mona refuses to return it, but Hanna knows the extent in which ‘A’ will go to destroy someone’s life.
Mona even shows Hanna a photo of Officer Wilden and Hanna’s mom, but Hanna tells Mona it’s PhotoShopped.
When Aria and Spencer meet the man who’s supposed to give them the identity of ‘A,’ all they get in return is an address. No name. No number. Just an address. What’s even creepier is that Officer Garrett has been lurking in the background this whole time!
As Aria’s finishing up a call from Ezra, Aria’s mother walks in to her room to confront her about the note that was left on Aria’s father’s windshield from ‘A.’ Aria’s mother said that she would look into who ‘A’ is.
At school, Paige tells Emily that she came out to her parents. “I have you to thank for it,” Paige says to Emily. Paige also hints that she’s still into Emily.
Hanna sends a S.O.S. to her friends to tell her friends about Mona. And since the Liars are on a roll with dropping bombshells, Aria shares that ‘A’ has been sending notes to her parents. This bugs Spencer because Spencer had to break up with Toby for his protection, while Aria had been carrying on her relationship with Ezra.
When Hanna receives decrypted footage from Caleb of the time when Ian, Jenna, and Garrett were in Ali’s room, Melissa shows up on that video, surprising the Liars big time.
Spencer wants to talk to her sister first, but the other girls want to turn the video in.
Back at Hanna’s house, Mona confronts her friend about her shoplifting record, courtesy of ‘A.’ Hanna reluctantly reveals to Mona that Hanna and her friends have been tormented by ‘A,’ too. Will Mona have to throw Hanna under the bus or sacrifice herself?
Spencer plans on meeting with Melissa at a bar, but she bumps into Wren. Just when Melissa’s about to enter the place, Garrett drives up and Melissa gets into his car as Spencer and Wren watch. Moments later, Spencer receives a text from Melissa stating that class was running late.
Spencer thinks that Melissa doesn’t know Garrett that well, but Wren tells Spencer that he saw Garrett with Melissa at a doctor’s appointment.
Aria, Emily, and Hanna head to the address that the man gave them earlier. The girls poke around the house, but when Aria goes to pull the mail out of the mail slot, an elderly pops out with the sound of alarms.
A drunk Spencer goes home with Wren, and let me tell you tipsy Spencer is so much more fun than in-control Spencer.
Near the end, Aria and Ezra first have a heart-breaking moment filled with ironic, cheesy song, then a hopeful moment when Aria’s mom comes around in somewhat supporting Aria and Ezra’s relationship.
Thoughts to ponder until the next episode:
- Is this the light at the end of the tunnel for Ezra and Aria or are they on a tough road ahead?
- What role do you think Melissa plays in Ali’s murder?
- Do you think Spencer is better with Toby or Wren?
- If you know Mona’s role in the books, do you think it’s still going down that path? Is Mona a new ally for the Liars or a closer enemy?
