Aria and Emily returns from a movie

Aria and Emily returns from a movie. Aria is seen commenting on how she missed half the movie because the dude in front of them was making sales call and that if Spencer was there she would have pegged the dude with her jelly beans. Emily gets a little annoyed to hear Spencer’s name. Aria tells Emily that she was sorry but Emily should not keep holding on to the grudge she felt. According to Aria, Spencer was “just trying to protect” Emily. But Emily thinks that Spencer was trying to control the situation like she always does and she did a mistake by trusting Spencer.

They are at Aria’s front door when they hear loud music coming from inside the house. They go in and find that Mike had turned the whole place into a party. Aria orders Mike to get all the people out in ten minutes. She and Emily go upstairs.

Spencer reading Ali's journal

Ali shows this mystery guy her stories and asks him what he thinks about them. He tells her that she has a strong voice and that it is going to get more distinctive as she grows up or becomes mature. Ali asks he does not think that she is mature enough? He says he did not say that. According to him, all great literature boils down to two things: love and death. Ali ignores his advice saying that his choice of ordering is bad. Ali asks him that who eats boysenberry pie with beer. Spencer reads “Don’t knock it till you try it.” Ali says that she is going to write a story about this dude and they kiss. But we never see his face.

We are back at Spencer’s room. She rolls her eyeballs around.


Spencer arrives at Hanna's bedroom and Hanna comments on how loud Spencer was. Spencer defends herself by saying that Hanna was not answering her phone. Hanna tells Spencer that it is 4 a.m. Spencer tells Hanna about “The Hart And The Huntsman”, the pub outside Hollis college, where Ali met her mystery guy for pie and beer. Spencer asks Hanna if she wants to go with her after period. But Hanna declines saying that she has a dentist’s appointment. Spencer comments on how Hanna is giving up the chance to go after the person who tried to hurt Ali to clean her plaque. Hanna tells her that Ali went to the same dentist and if she can find out who switched the X-ray of Ali’s teeth with the teeth of the person who was actually buried in Ali’s place, they can find out who A is. Spencer agrees with Hanna’s plan and they both agree not to update Aria and Emily about any of this. Spencer comments that she does not want to make Emily angrier than she already is. Hanna tells her that once they find out who “A” is everything will be alright.

The next morning, Aria comes out of The Brew and sees Maggie coming out of her car.

She goes over and tells her that it was not good of her to come to Rosewood without Malcolm as Ezra really wanted to see him. Maggie tells Aria that it is none of her business but Aria does not stop lecturing her about how she lied and screwed Ezra’s life and also blackmailed his family to pay her. Maggie becomes irritated and tells Aria that coming from her, the lecture does not affect her as Aria sleeps with Ezra to maintain her grades. Maggie starts walking but Aria grabs her hands to stop her, dropping the box in Maggie’s hand. Maggie tells Aria to leave her and go.

Ali and Ezra?

Spencer is still at The Hart and The Huntsman. She is sitting at the table and reading Ali's story about the mystery dude when the server comes and brings her a bottle of beer. Spencer asks the waiter why she was serving her with the beer. The waiter tells her that Ezra already paid for the beer and so she thought that she should give it to Spencer. Spencer starts to get suspicious. The server comments on how the mixture of boysonberry pie and beer is kind of gross.

We flash back to Ali's date with the mystery dude. Only this time he is no longer mysterious. Ezra and Ali. Having boysonberry pie and beer. Kissing.
