Hannah is focused on finding out who is in Ali’s coffin.
Aria and Emily finding Mona in Aria’s room. Mona barely can get a word in before Aria is in wth mode. Apparently Mike invited her, Emily ask the obvious question, why would Mike do that? Mona seems to think its because not everyone wants to avoid her, so I guess she is a little upset with our girls. She tells Aria she loves her wallpaper, zips her purse, wonder what she put in it out of Aria’s room and then storms out. Leaving Aria and Emily to still wonder wth?
Next morning before Aria and Mike leave for school Aria wants to chit chat about Mona. He tells her that met in a after school program.

Hannah is at a book rake looking for Patterson no doubt, the new detective walks over and attempts to apologize and then ask Hannah how her and her mom are picks out a book for her gives a smile and walks away. Could this be Hannah’s new guy? Before she and I can ponder that further her phone goes off and she looks at it with concern.

Hannah is trying to sound all smart and detective ish. Emily tells her to quit picking up rocks that keep getting thrown at Ali. Spencer comes over to talk to Emily who proceeds to slam her locker and walk away.
Aria sees Mike and Mona is a very thought provoking conversation, mind you it’s more what they aren’t saying that causes the provoking.

Cute detective thinks she needs to go back and read the middle, Hannah tells him to just tell her the twist, he says no but then gives in and tells her it has to do with the dental records, since that’s what it always comes down to.

Spencer is reading Ali’s story with the words she filled in. Spencer finds out that he takes her to a bar called The Hart and The Huntsman. Alison has him reading some of her stories, he tells her that her voice will grow as she gets more mature. Ali questions if he thinks she is mature enough now, he didn’t say that he thinks all great literature boils down to two things love and death ….who does that sound like. Ali simply says whatever, who orders boysenberry pie and beer. She tells him she should write a story about him about that moment, she leans in and kisses him.
Hannah lets Spencer in. Spencer tells her she has a lead it involves a pub outside of Hollis. Spencer ask her if she wants to go. Hannah tells her she can’t she has a cleaning at the dentist that afternoon. Spencer can’t believe she is passing up a opportunity to find out who was after Ali.

At school Aria tells Emily all about it and then tells her because of her Maggie will probably never let EzrA see Malcolm. Emily tries to make her feel better. It doesn’t work. Emily realizes Aria is back with EzrA, Aria ask her to cover for her when she misses class. Emily tells her it shouldn’t be a problem since she is helping with the school play now that her dad thinks she is a nut job. Before that conversation can go any further Aria sees her brother kissing Mona, Aria turns and walks away.

Back at the pub the waitress brings Spencer a beer that EzrA had ordered to go with his pie. Ding ding ding , Spencer puts it together. EzrA is the guy Ali met. Oh btw board shorts is the name of the beer. So basically the reveal is something we all had assumed for awhile now. EzrA is the college boy Ali was seeing.
Emily is at the school making copies when she hears a door slam. Naturally she goes telling down the hallway. She goes to EzrA’s classroom and the door shuts. Emily gets her phone out to call her dad. The PA system starts blaring music. Emily leaves the room while leaving a message for her dad. She looks at the sign above the entrance of the school it says “ACT NORMAL, BITCH.” Emily locks herself in the room with the copier and continues to talk to her dads answering machine.
Hannah wakes up with a sore mouth and blood on her lip. She reaches for the files she took but they are gone.
