The episode opened with the Liars discussing the absence of Ezra, who had been busy catching up with his newborn seven-year-old son. Aria (Lucy Hale) hadn’t heard from him since his departure. Meanwhile, Spencer was more concerned with updates from her private investigator, Miles, who had been hot on Toby’s trail since Spencer’s big discovery. Jason (Drew Van Acker) arrived to announce the re-burial of Alison’s remains. Apparently, the family felt it safer to stow Ali away in a mausoleum this time around, and all of the Liars were invited to say one more farewell. I’m fond of Spencer’s sharp new frankness, and I have to say, had it been me in her position, I’d probably be sick of this mystery, too. I’m not even sure why they like Alison to begin with, at this point. Isn’t hindsight 20/20?
Jason tipped the girls off to the fact that the mementos they’d left in Ali’s casket were still missing and that the police were looking to peg the crime on whoever ended up in possession of the “souvenirs.” For the moment, only Hanna’s (Ashley Benson) Ouija Board pointer and Aria’s earrings had turned up. Hanna got it in her head that the best idea was to toss the evidence, but Aria, having learned form past mistakes, realized that making rash decisions often lands them in hot water.
Mona (Janel Parrish) was on hand at Rosewood High, if only to make Spencer’s life frustratingly less bearable. As she put it, Spencer had been “off her A-game” when it came to Mathletes, or whatever geek group they’re a part of. Mona knew to bring up Toby as a means of pushing Spencer’s buttons. Scary Spencer barely acknowledged her existence. Seriously, though, isn’t not giving a sh*t kind of a good way to defeat the A-Team, or at least, a great means of pissing them the hell off?
