Ashley is astounded that Ali had stayed so strong despite everything. Hanna’s mom is planning dinner, but Hanna says that she is going to go help Caleb study for his exit exams. Before leaving, Hanna reminds her mom that she asked to use the bath salts a lot of times but was never given to.

Turns out, all Rhonda wanted was a bag of Cheetos and soda. She spilled all about Bethany.

She tries to cover her tracks and says her “brain is mushed” from being under water so much.

Ella barges in on Aria at home, and demands to know why she blew off the maid of honor meeting at the bridal shop. Ella thinks that Aria blew it off because she doesn’t want her to get married again. After Aria apologizes, Ella agrees to reschedule the meeting, and warns her not to miss it.

That day in school, Hanna skipped language lab, but walked in hungover after class. She was so hungover that she had a crispy treat in her hair. She started complaining about having Alison as a roommate and she spilled about the weird moment with Zack. Spencer and Emily were a little hesitant about Hanna’s story, considering her current state and the fact that Ella was about to marry Zack.

Spencer and Emily checked out the horse stable to find out more about Bethany. Apparently, Bethany threw a fit and a bucket at Mrs. DiLaurentis after trying to bribe her.

Hanna was still creeped out by her run-in with Zack. Zack took a seat in her car to talk. He was totally into the idea of hooking up with Hanna. He wrote his number down and told her to hit him up. Then, he put his hand on her leg. It was obvious that Hanna felt uncomfortable.

Ashley Marin and Ali discuss dinner plans for the two of them because Hanna was again planning to be absent. She walks downstairs while making dinner reservations on the telephone when she sees the window open. She spins around to see that the front door is ajar as well.

While Tanner is giving Ali the third degree, Ashley interrupts and tells her to stop treating Alison like a criminal instead of a victim. Hanna headed to Aria’s soaking wet to tell her about Zack. She confessed that Zack wanted to hook up with her. Aria didn't go for it. “You’re the problem, Hanna.” she screamed. “You’re always the problem.” Aria didn't believe a word of Hanna’s story and wasn't going to let her self-destruct and bring her mom down too.
