NARRATOR: Previously on Pretty Little Liars:
ARIA: Check it out.
HANNA: That's Alison's color.
You cannot seriously think that a blind girl broke into my house.
I didn't say that Jenna was alone.
Let's not go to the Toby place, okay?
ARIA: You guys think her guide dog left behind his lipstick?
Do you like the color?
Uh-huh.
She lives in this town. I have to see her, I have to talk to her.
- Do you think they'll work this out? - I really don't know.
If you want me to answer any more questions, let me get in the office...
...and see what I can find.
Psychotherapy. You're her therapist.
[GRUNTS]
We have different ideas of friendly. That's an angry serve.
HANNA: Take someone else to homecoming if you want.
Why would I do that? It's not like I'd go with anyone else.
Pretty. Who made that?
Somebody from school.
HANNA: Whoever made it must like you a lot.
Dude, you are so screwed.
When this is over, she'll get her diploma.
You'll get a pink slip and an orange jumpsuit.
- How many friends did you tell? - I didn't.
Because if A knows, I'm thinking B and C and everybody else does too.
[ST. LOLA IN THE FIELDS' "HOLD ME" PLAYING]
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Sad and sweet the tale of love
[MUSIC STOPS]
SPENCER: Hey. - Hmm.
- What are you doing? - An intervention.
We brought takeout and rag mags.
But you cannot have those until you get out of these sweats.
- Why? What's wrong with these? SPENCER: Nothing.
- Except they're grafting to your skin. - They're comfy.
Yeah, so are mom jeans and platform flip-flops.
How can we help choose a homecoming dress if you don't try some on for us?
Well, that's easy. I'm not going.
- What do you mean? - Yeah, you can't just not go.
- What are you doing instead? - I guess I'll just read these...
...and then inhale a gallon of Chunky Monkey.
Hey, look, cutting yourself off from the rest of your life...
...is not gonna help your parents.
- They still might work it out. - They're barely speaking to each other.
People get angry, they blow up. Doesn't mean it's over.
They didn't blow up over her dad missing their anniversary.
He slept with one of his students.
- Sorry. SPENCER: I'm just saying...
...things can look over on Friday and by Monday, all is forgiven.
Some things just take time.
Yeah. Maybe.
Okay, so you're coming.
- Come on. - No.
I'll think about it.
Well, if you're not coming, can you at least cast an absentee ballot?
What? I need her vote.
Hanna, stop already.
You got homecoming queen locked down.
Really? You can rig the election?
Sorry. I have enough to do already, thanks.
I'm head of the committee, half of which is out sick.
So I'll be restocking the ice and refilling the hummus bowl...
...and trying to look cute for my first official date.
With Alex?
Wait, you're bringing him to homecoming?
So this is real.
- Look at her blush. - Stop.
Damn, now I have to come.
But he's not gonna know anybody there...
...so can you just do your best to make him feel included?
We were planning on freezing him out.
Okay. Moving on.
Em, who are you gonna bring?
I think I'm gonna go stag.
I will too.
SPENCER: Why don't you guys come together?
Oh, you'd make such a cute couple.
How did I just go from wearing mom jeans to being Samantha Ronson?
Who cares who anyone goes to this thing with? I mean, it's just a dance.
You should bring someone who you have fun with.
I might wanna go with someone.
I don't want people thinking it means more than it does.
- Are you and Ben back together? - No.
No. Of course not.
So who's the mystery dude?
I'm starving.
- What's wrong? Bad fortune? SPENCER: Yeah.
Confucius says, "Stop being such a drama queen."
"Lions and tigers and bitches, oh, my.
There's no place like homecoming."
See you there. A."
So my parents are going out of town this weekend...
...and I thought maybe you could stay the night.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and I'm ready...
...to do it.
Sean, I'm not ready.
I made a commitment to myself.
A commitment I wanna honor.
MAZARRA: Good. Nice work, you guys.
Sit down.
May I have two other volunteers, please?
Hanna?
- You wanna give it a go? - No.
- See? I can say no. MAZARRA: So can I.
Get up. You can be the instigator.
[MAZARRA SIGHS]
Lucas.
No. I'm really more comfortable in an observational role during sexercise.
MAZARRA: Come on, you two, let's go.
So you wanna come up to my room?
I can't do this.
But you make me so hot.
No. I mean, I can't do this with you.
Girls like her don't approach guys like me...
...unless they have deep self-esteem issues...
...and a serious drinking problem.
Just play along, Lucas.
- This is embarrassing. - Why?
I don't need to know how to rebuff the advances of a genetic splice...
...between Barbie and Shakira.
It's just never gonna happen.
The point of this is to be prepared for the situation when it does arise.
Let's look at the facts. I have the upper-body strength of Screech...
...and I spend my weekends playing Wii. Alone.
I think my virginity is pretty well safeguarded.
Both of you, start again.
- So you wanna come up to my room? - Yes.
[KIDS LAUGH]
[BELL RINGS]
Hey.
- Can I talk to you? - I can't. I have a staff meeting.
- No, I just have to... - I'm late.
[SCOFFS]
- Hey. - Hey.
Haven't seen you in a while.
Yeah.
Things have been kind of busy.
Me and the girls have been working on the memorial for Alison.
Oh, right.
You going to homecoming?
Um...
I don't think so.
Dance music isn't my thing.
I'm not really gaga for Gaga.
[CHUCKLES]
So maybe we should try to catch up sometime?
Yeah. We should.
I have to go to class.
Way to sneak up on people.
Sorry. Look, can you get it today?
- Get what? - Jenna's file.
No. They canceled my shift at work.
Go in anyway. It's a therapist's office. Pretend you're having a breakdown.
If I lose the crown to Heather Perez, I won't have to pretend.
Hanna, I'm serious.
That file might be our only chance to find out what Jenna knows.
If she and her stepbrother are planning revenge...
I'll get it. Why the panic attack? Because of the fortune cookie?
It's because Toby Cavanaugh, who's never had a date in his life...
...just bought two tickets to homecoming.
So Jenna's coming too.
Well, A did promise to see us there, right?
MONA: Hey, Han.
Spencer.
So is it true you're taking the country club's towel boy to homecoming?
His name's Alex. And, yes, I am.
Knock it off, Mona.
What?
I think it's cute she's taking her Cinderfella to the ball.
Can you go get me fro-yo?
With sprinkles?
Wow, that was exactly the reaction I want to avoid.
Don't pay any attention to her. She's just insecure.
Yeah, like a pit bull. Why are you friends with her?
Once you get to know her, she's funny...
...and she's always there for me...
...even if it's just to watch me try on shoes.
She's a good person.
She just talks tough so people will forget what a geek she used to be.
Ow!
Okay, you need to chillax or I need to start carrying a tranq gun.
SPENCER: Shh!
What is that?
- Hi. - Hey.
I was about to look for you.
You were? How come?
Well, I wanted to talk to you about something.
Um...
Do you wanna hang out tomorrow?
Um, I would, but I can't.
I'm going with my friends to homecoming.
That's too bad. I...
I was hoping maybe you'd go with me.
To homecoming?
L... I didn't think that was your scene.
I have a scene? Ha.
I didn't think listening to the Smiths alone in my room was a scene.
You know what I mean.
I think what you mean is that you don't wanna go with me.
No, it's not that.
It's just...
I would have thought you'd think homecoming was lame.
It is pretty lame.
But you're not.
Okay.
So I'll pick you up at 9.
Sure.
But it starts at 8.
Lame.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Hey. Need any help?
You're a little early.
- The dance doesn't start for 27 hours. - But I wanted to do a dry run.
Test out the route, time myself door to door and...
You sound like me.
Yeah, but I was joking.
Oh.
I'm about to buy a suit.
I wanted to know what color your dress is so we can match.
Don't bother. I'll match my outfit to yours. Just wear whatever you have.
We can't both show up in jeans and a T-shirt.
- Are you sure that you want to? - Yes. I want to.
It's a good excuse to buy a suit. And, uh, here.
- What's that for? - The tickets.
No. Don't worry about it. This is my treat.
I just... I know how hard you work...
...and I don't want you to spend your money on some stupid dance.
Well, tough luck.
Because I want to.
I'm wearing a silver strapless dress.
Can't wait to see you in it.
[ALEX CHUCKLES]
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
HANNA: Thanks so much, guys.
- Hi. - Hey.
- I didn't know you were in a band. - Jazz band.
I don't march.
And, yes, I'm voting for you.
Thank you.
Um...
Okay, well, I'll see you at homecoming.
I don't think so.
Too bad. I know Emily really wanted you to come.
Oh.
Well, um...
...I'll think about it.
Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
Were you talking to her?
- Who? - Emily.
- Why are you doing this? - What are you talking about?
You know you're only fooling yourself, right?
I mean, once she finds out the truth about you, she'll hate you.
Who's gonna tell her?
SECRETARY: Doctor's office.
Yes.
Careful with that. Are you blind?
Can we help you?
- What are you guys doing? - Baking a cake.
Well, are you gonna be done soon?
No.
ARIA: How long did you wait?
Well, I finally left when Chewy's 5 o'clock shadow turned into a beard.
- Well, did you tell Spencer? - Relax.
I rigged the door so we can get back inside this weekend.
Do you have anything a little less hippie and little more bourgie?
- Whatever's in there is what I have. - Okay, what do you think?
"It's an honor just to be nominated," or, "It's about time, where's my throne?"
They both look good.
Aria, I know what you're going through.
When my parents were fighting, I barely left my room.
I wore my headphones and blasted Jay-Z to drown them out.
It got to the point where I'd only take them off to shower.
Look, the worst part is now. Waiting.
Which is why you need to get out of the house.
We will have an amazing time.
And I know someone who has a huge crush on you.
- Who? - Chris Buzzini.
- I thought he was bringing Lisa. - He is.
But he told Sean he'd rather take you. He just thinks you're not into him.
Well, I'm not.
So who are you into?
Oh, my gosh. I knew it.
You're already seeing someone.
- No. No. - Yes.
You met someone when you were living in Iceland. What's his name?
Forget it, I probably can't pronounce it anyways.
Look, Aria, this guy may be cute and all...
...but that booty call is a long, long distance.
It's time to say goodbye to your Viking and move on.
You're in two completely different places right now.
Maybe you're right.
Of course I am.
So, what are you gonna wear?
The Bell Jar, or, "Let's get this party started"?
[BAND SINGING 2AM CLUB'S "WORRY ABOUT YOU"]
For as long, long as I can remember
It's been December
No sun, no summertime to treasure
We weren't grown
And every time That they told us, "Surrender
It will be better"
We'd just go holding on till forever
To what we know
Broken lover Yes, I made you
Believe that I Would be the one to heal you
And if you go now out that doorway...
- Hey. There she is. - I was worried you were gonna bail.
No. No.
I'm ready to have a fantastic time tonight.
With no date?
My, how the mighty have fallen.
- Whatever. She can share my date. - Yeah.
I have no problem with that.
- And mine. - Yep.
Hey. I'm Aria.
- Alex. Nice to meet you. - You too.
But unfortunately, you have to work before you can play.
Because you've got the first shift at the bean bag toss.
You're a hero.
- Um, will you excuse me for just one sec? - Yeah, sure.
- Talk to him. - Yeah.
GIRL: It was nice to see you. MELISSA: Good to see you too.
- What are you doing here? - Nice to see you too, sis.
No, seriously. What are you doing here?
I was asked. The alumni has a former homecoming queen present the crown.
Right. And this year, it's some chick from the class of 2000.
I'm filling in.
Apparently, she's been vomiting since Thursday. Ha.
Great.
Oh, by the way, they posted the winning Golden Orchid essays online...
...and I had a chance to read yours.
Or should I say mine.
Look, I've already told Mom and Dad.
And they think a retraction would be more of an embarrassment for us.
It was a stupid thing to do and I'm so sorry...
No, you're not. You never are.
TRISH: Oh, my gosh, Melissa.
Hey, Trish.
TRISH: You look gorgeous.
HANNA: Ugh, that's awful.
Is that Becky Neumann?
It looks like her hair got in a fight with her face and they both lost.
LUCAS: Yearbook pictures.
- Hey. - Hey.
Nice bowtie.
Oh, thanks.
It's my grandpa's.
Hey. I'm Lucas.
Great. Can you be Lucas over there?
[CHUCKLES]
Um...
- I'll see you around, Hanna. - Yeah. See you around. Have fun.
WOMAN [OVER PA]: Raffle tickets for our grand-prize drawing, a brand-new car.
HANNA: Rude much?
Am I in a parallel universe or did you just engage in conversation with Hermie?
- Isn't that what Alison called him? - Yeah, he's not a hermaphrodite, okay?
He's a nice guy. And saying hi to him is not a crime.
It should be. You didn't bust your ass to become Rosewood's it girl...
...just to make chitchat with shim.
If you and I start slipping up, we'll be right back at the bottom again.
Yeah. Well, I'm starting to think I've lost a few things on the climb up.
Look, you can go kamikaze if you want.
But I will cut your rip cord before I let you drag me down with you.
Hello?
MELISSA: Hey.
- Hi. I'm Melissa. Spencer's sister. - Alex. Nice to meet you.
We've met. At the club.
Are you on the homecoming committee as well?
Alex goes to school across town.
- Where do you go? - P.S. 187, on Elmhurst.
You wouldn't have heard of it. It's not the same zip code as the Prada outlet.
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]
Catering crisis.
[MOUTHS] Bye.
I didn't plan this.
I already said I believe you.
Yeah, but you don't.
I do. Can you hand me those, please?
WOMAN [OVER PA]: Let's hear it for 2AM Club!
Hey. Nice haircut.
Thanks.
Great. Well done.
BOY: Cool. Thanks.
I didn't tell anyone about us.
Let's just drop this, okay?
I'm just grateful it ended before one of us got seriously hurt.
Too late for that.
It wasn't a friend who sent that text.
Hi.
Oh, that's all right. He's missed it, but there you go.
Have a good one. I'll see you tonight.
So who's A?
It's someone who's messing with me.
Aria, why would someone wanna mess with you?
Because last summer...
I don't know. L...
It's complicated.
When you've had enough, I'd happy to relieve you.
Oh, thanks, Miss Welch. I'm fine.
I was talking to her.
Oh, I've had enough.
So who's up?
You know, they're showing a Fritz Lang double feature...
...at Rosewood Cinema tonight.
If we leave now, we'll only miss the credits.
I might be a little overdressed.
This may sound stupid, but I've never been to one of these things before.
What are you so nervous about?
Meeting up with my friends.
Who think I'm a freak.
Not all of them.
I mean, they'll get over it because they want me to be happy.
It's just a party.
You know, if we get hungry, we eat some chips, have some punch.
Punch? Really?
Are we gonna jitterbug too?
You don't have to dance.
Good. Because I don't.
Okay. So how about you stand there and do this?
And I'll dance around you.
I think I'd rather drink the punch.
Okay.
Hey, that was a quick shift. You okay?
No. My claustrophobia kicked in.
Can you find someone to take my place?
Yeah. Alone in a dark booth with Fitz? It's like every freshman girl's dream.
- Hey, Hanna. - Hi.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Have you guys seen Emily? - No. I was just about to text her.
Don't bother.
MAN [OVER PA]: Come on, guys, let 2AM Club hear it!
Hey, guys.
I'll go get us some drinks.
You're here with Toby?
Either you've got some plan of sleeping with the enemy or you've lost your mind.
You don't know him.
Who else could've helped Jenna? He has every reason to hate us.
Well, he doesn't.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a fricking duck.
Wow. I thought at least you'd understand.
Emily, wait.
Why are you doing this?
You told me to follow my feelings...
...and not to let other's opinions stop me.
Yes, I did, but that was when I thought you were taking Maya.
Maya?
Why would I take Maya?
Hey.
You wanna go play some games?
Sure.
MAN [OVER PA]: Rosewood High Sharks, check out the fortune teller's booth...
...and find out what's in the cards for you and your date.
MELISSA: So did you buy a raffle ticket yet?
Not yet.
Where's Spencer? Did she leave you all alone?
It's cool. I like people-watching.
I'm glad to hear that.
I mean, most guys would be uncomfortable being used like this.
But if you're not, then no one's getting hurt. Ha.
- What are you talking about? - I'm talking about Spencer.
You know, dating you to piss off our dad.
She's always trying something new to make him crazy.
You really should buy a ticket.
That is a beautiful car.
Did I miss something? When did she start hanging out with Toby?
I have no idea. I've never even seen her talk to him.
There you are. You keep disappearing on us.
Yeah, we had to get ice.
Hey. Wanna dance?
Let's do it.
[BAND SINGING 2AM CLUB'S "MAKE YOU MINE"]
I looked her right in the eyes, Right in the eyes
But I couldn't see
It burned when I looked I burned in my heart
My words wouldn't work
I listened to you loud and clear So loud and clear
But I couldn't hear
Her mouth moving fast All I hear is white noise
My life moving past
And I said please, please, please
Don't shine so bright
Please, please, please
Don't shine so bright Oh, no
You did it so right You gave me your life
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
I'll be right back.
Aria. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I figured out what Toby's tattoo means.
- What? - "901, free at last." It's September 1st.
That's the day Ali disappeared.
- Hanna, you've gotta get that file. - Tonight?
Emily won't believe us without proof. She could be walking into a trap.
Can't we do it after they announce homecoming queen, please?
Okay, fine. Fine. I'll get it. Keep an eye on Emily until I get the file.
- What about me? - Keep an eye on Sean.
- What? - I can't tell him where I'm going.
If I make something up, he'll come with me. Just keep him busy.
- But how am I supposed to do that? - I don't know. Just figure it out.
Come on.
ALEX: Spencer, wanna go to the fortune teller?
- Spencer? - What?
I asked if you wanted to go to the fortune teller.
Um...
No, I don't really think so. It's not really my kind of thing.
WOMAN: Let's go. Let's go.
You know what? On second thought, it might be kind of fun.
- Sean. Hey. - Hey.
- Where's Hanna? - She's with Spencer getting more ice.
More? Is there a heat wave going on in here I don't know about?
Oh, right.
Right. She actually said that there was a crisis with the band.
Do you want some food?
Hi. Could I get a cab to Rosewood High School, please?
Great. Thanks.
- Hey. - The homecoming queen is leaving?
Nominee. And, yeah. Sort of.
Isn't that kind of like Han Solo abandoning the Millennium Falcon?
Uh, honestly, I have no idea. Why are you leaving?
Got enough photos for yearbook.
You came just to take photos?
Yeah.
And to cast my vote for you.
Listen, um, I left the check for the band at the office where I work.
Would you mind driving me there and back?
It's either that or watch the new Hoarders episode with my parents.
So, yeah.
Here. You look cold.
Thank you. Let's go.
FORTUNE TELLER: There's a lot of anxiety in these cards.
Are you a worrier?
Spencer.
Hmm?
Um... Yeah, I guess so.
This indicates a journey.
It's unclear whether it's a journey from the past or in the future...
...but I'm seeing an image.
You could be taking care of someone.
They could be hurt.
What else do they say?
This is typical Hanna. She makes a big deal about coming to this thing...
...and then she ditches me. - Let's dance.
Come on. Come on. I love this song.
You're not gonna leave me to bump and grind by myself, are you?
I'll be back in a sec, okay?
What did you tell Hanna about us?
What are you talking about?
Why did she think you'd be my date?
I don't know.
She came up to me.
Shouldn't you be with your date?
- Don't make a big deal out of this. - I'm not.
You are. And I don't know why, since you've clearly moved on anyway.
I told you I needed space.
Yeah, and I'm giving you space.
To come to grips with who you are.
Not to hide it.
I'm not hiding anything.
Then look me in the eye and tell me you have no feelings for me...
...and I'll leave you alone for good.
FORTUNE TELLER: When this card is reversed...
...it indicates something from which you are running away.
The Lovers is a joyful card, but paired with Judgment...
...it means there's something wrong with this couple. It's a bad match.
Here. There's darkness in him.
Maybe even violence.
Or vengeance.
Where did this come from?
Ezra, wait.
Just let me talk for a second, please?
And I don't wanna argue or try to convince you of anything.
I know it's over. I know that.
But I just... I can't stand the idea of you walking around and hating me.
Hate you?
The only person I hate right now is myself, for asking too much of you.
Seeing you out there, out on the dance floor...
...having fun with guys your age...
...not sneaking around and holing up with me in my apartment...
...to watch videos and eat one of the three things I can actually cook.
Because...
Because I can't take you to the movies.
I can't take you out to a nice restaurant.
And for the record...
...I could never hate you.
I figured you'd be here tonight.
My new haircut wasn't to impress Mrs. Welch.
I gotta go.
Hanna, wanna tell me why they lock the elevator again?
Can you wait here?
I'll only be a couple minutes, okay?
Oh, yeah. Take your time. Hoarders always, you know, has two cases.
You okay?
You wanna talk about it?
[STUDENTS LAUGHING]
Why don't we go upstairs to the chem lab?
It's quiet up there.
What's going on?
You seem distracted.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I promise, this is the last time.
The phone's not the problem.
Maybe my work for the night's done.
What do you mean?
Just go ahead, answer.
I'm sorry. I'll just be a minute.
Sorry. What is it?
Hey, I'm looking through the M section and there's no Jenna Marshall.
Check under Cavanaugh. She's Toby's stepsister. Maybe his dad adopted her.
No, but... Hey, my phone's dying. What'd you say?
SPENCER [OVER PHONE]: I said, check under Cavanaugh.
But what if the...?
Hanna?
- Where's Alex? - He left.
- What do you mean? - He left.
- Do you need me to tweet it to you? - What'd you say to him?
I didn't have to say much. You screwed up this one all by yourself.
It's so weird to be here at night.
Wanna talk about what happened?
I just got upset.
Did it have to do with Maya?
No.
Yes.
Emily...
...did you come with the wrong person to homecoming?
Maybe.
I understand.
Why do you like me?
- What? - Why are you so nice to me when...?
When you know what me and my friends did?
Oh.
I guess it's because I've also done things that I'm not proud of.
We've all got secrets, Emily.
MELISSA [OVER PA]: Don't forget to buy your raffle tickets...
...for a chance to win a brand-new Toyota Corolla.
That is one sweet ride.
[MOUTHS] Come on.
MELISSA: Now for the reason we're all here.
I can still remember the feeling of joy I had when, as a Rosewood student...
...I heard my name called.
Please welcome your new homecoming king and queen:
Sean Ackard and Hanna Marin.
Is that Jenna's file?
No. I got Toby's. Turns out Jenna wasn't the patient.
The therapist had her come in to see how she felt about Toby coming back home.
Oh, my God. Well, what else does it say?
The dates prove he wasn't away at school when Ali disappeared.
- He was still here in Rosewood. - Well, what else?
See for yourself.
"Session 12, August 15th."
Think I didn't see what was going on?
- It's not what it looked like. - Not to you.
What were you doing here? What did I ever do to you?
- You've peeped in my window. - I've never looked in your window.
I've looked in yours. We're not taking the blame for this.
- Oh, yes, you are. - No.
Not unless you want the world to know how close you are with your stepsister.
Talk, I'll make sure everybody knows you've been doing it with her.
So that's what Ali had on him?
- That's enough to want her dead. - And us.
Emily.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
- Can you please not answer that? - Why?
Because I'm trying to find a way to tell you about what happened last summer.
I want you to hear it from me.
- She's not picking up. - Text her.
We have to find her. Come on.
Toby, you're scaring me. Please stop.
- I haven't said anything yet. - Please stop talking.
So you're allowed to be honest, but I'm not?
Who's that from? Is that from one of your friends?
- I've gotta go. - Why?
- I've got... No, I've gotta go. - Wait, just hear me out.
Let... Leave me alone.
Somebody help me!
Emily, wait.
Where is she?

Somebody help me. Please.

Somebody help me. Get away.
Leave me alone.
