Previously on Pretty Little Liars:
We saw where he was standing. By the coolers where they keep our blood.
We don't know why he was visiting Ali, why he fought with Mona.
My dad doesn't think that I'm college material. He thinks Kate is.
- Who is Kate? - My stupid perfect step-sister.
- Kate. - You know, training a horse, it's an art.
Taking all the fight out of it until it is broken.
That's how you'll feel when I'm through.
Welcome to the family.
The winner gets a $20,000 scholarship. We'll have to pay for my tuition somehow.
- What's wrong? - You're married, Talia.
- Cyrus. - Back away from them, now.
You said you were hired to paint for Hollis.
- I didn't say hired. - Know what else you didn't say? Vandalism.
Although we did not find the body...
...the amount of blood would indicate that the victim's wounds are fatal.
Mona Vanderwaal was murdered.
"Thanks for donating to my Get Into Jail Fund, A."
What? Did you find something?
Yeah, my brother's got jock itch. Ew.
I wish I didn't know that.
- What's with all this new gym equipment? - I don't know, he's obsessed.
- It's nice. How much did he pay for this? - Hanna.
- We're not shopping here. - Hey, it's just a question.
I mean, I wanna know why Mike's all of a sudden training to become a ninja.
Maybe because he's running errands for a blond spider on cell block H.
Okay, guys, just stop. This feels wrong.
What's wrong is Mike stealing our stem cells and handing them to Ali's A-team.
We don't know what was that envelope he gave Cyrus.
- It could've been cash. - Right.
So maybe, he's hiding our DNA in here...
...until he gets further instructions. Has anybody checked that mini fridge yet?
- What about the gym bag? - Nope, I got it.
If your brother did send that bloody A text...
...we should be doing more than turning his room inside out. We should be setting fire...
Guys.
- Did you find that in here? - Under a disgusting gym sock.
Wait.
- He just bought this last Friday. - Who is it for?
- And when did your brother acquire taste? - Why does Mike have that?
Maybe he ordered it for Mona and it just got in.
Maybe it's a Mother's Day gift.
I don't think he's telling his mom, "I'm with you."
These aren't just beads, it's a message, Morse code. I've seen this online.
- The beads, they spell out words. - "I'm with you"? With who?
That necklace is probably for Alison that's who Mike's with.
Ripped By mstoll
Oh, please.
If my customers knew it was lard, they'd shove me in the oven. Heh.
It's your mom.
I'll e-mail it. Okay.
Bye.
Didn't she wanna talk to me?
No, she just called about that leftover cobbler you brought home last week.
What?
Isn't it nice that we have something in common besides you?
- Do you think she knows about...? - Us?
Not from me.
We are moving slowly, Emily.
And I am perfectly fine with you and me...
...staying just between you and me. - And your husband.
That's right.
Do you just wake up this beautiful?
Oh, hey, Mike.
We're, uh, not actually open yet.
Well, the door is open.
Can I get some coffee to go?
Yeah.
I'm gonna need two.
Okay.
Do you wanna bring a pastry or something?
No, they're both for me.
- It was a long night. - Oh, really?
What were you up to?
I already got one big sister.
I'm not looking for another.
I know you're mom loves the idea of shipping you off to Hogwarts but what about you?
- Are you freaked out about living overseas? - No.
- Why? Should I be? - No, you'll be fine.
I needed a horse pill just to get across the ocean.
Don't take it until the wheels are off the run way.
- Why? What happened? - Faulty equipment.
We had to get off the plane, I was fast asleep.
I got wheeled around on a luggage cart by a teller from Parma, Ohio.
- Wait, you slept the whole time? - I have no memory. Zip.
I mean, I'm told I ate a fish taco in my sleep.
- Hey. - Hey.
- How is it going? - Um...
Good. You remember Jonny?
Yeah. Hey.
Uh, what are you doing here at Hollis?
Uh, my dad just asked me to pick up some class schedules for Jenna.
What are you doing here?
Uh, Jonny has an old friend who's an Oxford connection and he just...
It doesn't matter. Um...
But, how have you been? Is Tanner still working you 24/7?
Pretty much.
- Well, if you're free tonight... - I'm not.
But I'll call you later.
Sure. Okay.
- It was nice to see you again. - Yeah, same here.
What was that?
It's an expression in Italian.
And completely pretentious.
The necklace said, "I'm with you."
- Why are you so sure it's for Ali? - Who else?
Mike has been to her jail cell more than once.
And he's meeting up with her sketchy friends, leaving candygrams in the woods...
...and he just took out a huge withdrawal from A's bank account last week.
Heh. So he's using Alison's money to buy gifts for Alison?
Classy.
- Want me to say something to Aria's brother? - No.
No. God, no.
Why aren't you answering it? Is that Aria?
No.
I'll just call her later.
Her?
What's going on?
Nothing.
I don't know if I'm gonna through with this.
The coach is pricey. If it's gonna cost me money just to be in this thing...
Slow down. Speak English.
I enrolled in a beauty pageant.
Ms. Teen, county wide.
- Ha, ha. - The winner gets a $20,000 prize.
- I could use that towards my tuition. - Okay. Stop.
There has to be a better way to bankroll college...
...than parading around in a bikini and being judged like a heifer at a 4-H fair.
Caleb, this is not about big hair and twirling a baton.
I have to have this money so I can get out of this town.
Okay. Let me help you.
You know, we'll call my mom in Santa Barbara.
The guy that she's married to, he's loaded.
- We'll ask them for a loan. - Yeah.
After my dad basically slammed the door in my face? No way.
I am not asking anyone for any more help.
Fine. But have you really thought this through?
That pageant world is squeaky clean.
And last week, you were modeling a hazmat suit...
...and pushing around a barrel with a liquefied friend in it.
I already talked myself into this.
I don't need any other reason to back out.
I'm going to do this.
I have to.
If that was awkward...
...you could've introduced me as the guy who lives in the barn.
I wasn't introducing you, Toby knows you.
I think he'd rather know me as the guy who lives in the barn.
Okay, well, this has nothing to do with you, Jonny.
I mean, a lot of stuff has been going on and Toby's just removed himself...
...not just from me but from everybody.
Jonny?
What's going on? What's wrong?
Isn't that...
...our vandalism?
Why did they call it the Trial of the Century?
Um...
- Because Clarence Darrow was... - No, there's no Clarence Darrow.
That was Scopes. Different decade.
Oh.
Uh, trial of the Century, Stanford White case...
...first time a psychiatric defense was ever successful.
Harry Thaw shot Stanford White because he?
Oh, um, because he was jealous of his relationship with Evelyn Biscuit.
Nesbit.
Nesbit, yeah. That's what I said.
Here.
- Oh. Thanks. - Do you wanna take a break?
Your head's not in the game and if you're worried about your brother...
I'm worried about a lot, actually.
You know what?
There is something that you can help me with.
So my brother goes down to this gym on East Elm.
Could you follow him there. Just go in and see if he's meeting someone?
- I mean, I'd go myself but if he saw me there... - I get it. I'm on it.
Were you in my room?
- What? - You were in my room.
- Why the hell were you in my room? - Mike, calm down.
- I was just doing laundry. - I don't keep underwear in my desk, Aria.
I'm gonna go outside, make a call.
You have no right to go through my things.
- What are you worried about me finding, Mike? - None of your damn business.
And I swear, you touch any of my things again, you will live to regret it.
Compelling, aren't they?
Is this a joke?
- This is my work. - Your work? Really.
Yeah. Mine too, I helped. I...
This was all one piece.
- Not when I received them. - Received them? From who?
You can't just stick these in fancy frames and then sell them without my permission.
I'm sorry, who brought these here?
Somebody from Hollis saved them from being hauled off in a garbage truck.
So technically, they're mine.
Until someone buys them.
I have a list of questions here from last year's pageant. Let's try a few.
"How would you reverse the extinction of today's endangered species?"
"What is your opinion of our country's current foreign policy?"
Hanna.
These pageants aren't just about being pretty anymore.
Pretty isn't the point.
Judges don't give out crowns to living lollipops.
You need to have an opinion about the world we live in.
- I do. - Good.
Let's talk about the talent portion. Have you given that any thought?
What do you do well?
- Lots of things. - As in?
Hanna. Look, if you really want this, you've gotta feel it on a cellular level.
There are girls that have been training for this...
...since they could flush the toilet themselves.
I dance.
That's your talent?
Yeah, I dance.
I've got a lot of love to give
And I've been over
Excuse me.
- I'm looking for Talia. Is she in the kitchen? - No, you just missed her.
She had to leave early for a catering gig in Philly.
Oh, right. I forgot.
I'll call the landlord.
Can I tell her who stopped by?
Sorry, of course. Uh, I'm Eric, Talia's husband.
You must be Emily.
Of course.
Right. Um, Talia talks about you all the time.
- She does? - Yeah.
You must be special if you can get her to take a bike ride.
I can't get her to stop working long enough to walk to the mailbox.
Yeah, well...
It was just an easy ride, you know, single lane, we hardly, uh, got off the bikes.
Emily.
I know what's going on with you and Talia.
You don't have to feel weird.
Sorry. I do.
- I didn't know about you until... - It's okay. I understand.
- Really? Because I'm still... - Look.
Talia and I have been together a long time and if she needs to experiment...
...and have a one-time thing, I can live with that.
Because I love her.
And I expect to be doing that way longer than anyone else.
- Hey, come on in. - Hey.
Hanna's still in the shower. Can I get you some breakfast?
No, I'm okay. Thanks. I can't dance on a full stomach.
I didn't know you could dance at all.
Hanna said you've been taking lessons since you were 4.
Three, I stopped when I was in seventh grade.
My mother was hoping for a ballerina instead of a jock.
Emily, do you think she knows what she's getting herself into?
I'm having disturbing flashbacks to that campaign for homecoming queen.
That was different.
This pageant isn't about proving something to herself.
It's only about winning tuition money.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean... - It's okay.
It is what it is.
I didn't expect to be in this position.
- Mrs. Marin, can I ask you something? - Sure.
Do you think it's okay to date a person...
...if some part of you knows it's not gonna last forever?
I mean, if it's amazing in the moment, but ultimately you think it's probably doomed.
Are you asking me about me or are you asking me about you?
Neither. I'm just curious.
Emily, people get hurt and disappointed in relationships every day.
But no one should jump in to one with that intention.
So wait. Then he put in inside the tree? What was it?
I don't know. I started to climb up but I heard something.
I thought he was coming back so I took off.
- I could go back. - No, it's okay.
- You did the right thing. - Your instincts were right.
He's up to something. It's in the woods behind Mona's house.
- I know which tree it is, I could show you. - If you could just describe it, I got it.
You shouldn't go alone, seriously.
I don't think you should be in the house with him.
I won't be. My dad gets back later.
I'm fine. Really.
Are you sure?
Because you know I'm here if you need me.
- Hi. - Hey.
Where's your toolbox?
- Why? Did something break? - I just need your toolbox.
Jonny, there's nothing in there that's gonna help you pick a lock on a gallery door.
No. But I can take it off its hinges.
Before you plan on stealing back your own work, let me talk to my mom.
You must have legal recourse.
Is she into representing vandals?
- Besides, judges don't like me. - What do you mean?
I've been screwed over by enough authority figures to know not to start trusting them.
Well, amen to that.
Don't get that look in your eye. You're not driving my getaway car.
If you're aiming for Oxford, you need to be buttoned down, not badlands.
I know I said I needed to be on the straight and narrow but this is different.
You're being exploited. If he even sells those paintings...
- He already has. - What?
- I checked online. - Which one?
- Corner rabbit. - I painted that.
Where's your tool box?
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive Oh
You've been waiting for that
Step on up, swing your bat
See anybody could be bad to you
You need a good girl to blow your mind
That's where you applaud.
I'm holding two cheesesteaks, I don't have enough hands.
- Okay, well, seriously, what'd you think? - Uh, it was good.
Good?
- Good is not good enough. - Hey, Hanna, relax.
- We still have time to make it great. - Two hours.
My coach is coming over here to check on my progress.
She's your coach, she's coming by to support you.
Have you met Nan Zabriskie?
She makes you feel like the girl in fat camp who got caught eating her toothpaste.
What? It was minty.
Um, did you forget the mustard?
- No, it's on there. - Oh.
Caleb, what's going on?
Somebody else signed up to be in this pageant.
What do you mean? Who?
- No freaking way. - What? Who is it?
Kate Randall has this room reserved tomorrow at 7.
Kate Randall?
As in your step-sister Kate Randall? No, this has to be someone else.
Really? That goes to the same high school as her?
It wasn't enough that she stole my father and my college money.
Now she wants to go after my crown too.
- Where are you going? - You cannot just go and punch her out.
I am going to the bathroom to pee.
And when I get back, we are going to rehearse until it's perfect.
I am not gonna let her take this away from me.
Can I help?
This deadbolt may require more than I brought.
I got it.
How many times have you been in the barn when I'm not there?
You're new at this, aren't you?
Bang, bang, bang, bang, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Bang, bang, bang, bang, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
B to the A to the N to the...
- Hey. - Hi.
- How is she doing? - Uh, she's doing good.
I'm not convinced.
Is she having a hard time keeping up with Emily?
No, no, no. She's keeping up.
It's, uh, who she's competing against that's the problem.
That's it. The last one.
Come on, come on.
Toby?
What are you doing?
- Is this your van? - Yep.
- That's my painting in the seat. - Jonny.
- I got the rest in the back. - He was just taking back what's his.
Would you step back, please.
What are you...? He didn't do anything wrong.
If you wanna question somebody, you should be questioning the creep who runs the gallery.
Open this up for me.
Toby. No. Leave it alone. Okay? What are you even doing here?
I'm doing my job, responding to a call. The question is, what are you doing here?
She didn't have anything to do with this. You can let her go.
That's not your call to make.
Come down to the station with me. Put your hands behind your back.
- Toby, stop it. - Spencer, it's okay, I got this.
No, it's not okay. He's doing this because he's mad at me.
No, I'm doing this because a business was burglarized...
...and there are stolen goods in the vehicle.
Wait, you cannot arrest him. What are you doing?
Have you even heard a word that I've been saying?
Will you please just stop being a cop for a minute?
Toby.
- Just walk away, Spencer. - No, I won't. Will you please just talk to me.
- I can't do this here. - Okay, when do you wanna talk about this?
You're still on Tanner's radar.
She wants to take advantage of my relationship to you.
- This isn't about Tanner. - It is.
Don't give her ammunition. Just walk away.
Walk away.
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive Oh
You've been waiting for that
Step on up, swing your bat
See, anybody could be bad to you
You need a good girl to blow your mind Yeah
Bang, bang into the room I know you want it
Bang, bang all over you I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there Ah
Wait a minute till you Ah
Bang, bang, there goes your heart I know you want it
Back, back seat of my car I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there Ah
Wait a minute till you Ah
Bang, bang, bang, bang, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Bang, bang, bang, bang, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
B to the A to the N to the G to the
See anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind Your mind
Bang, bang into the room I know you want it
Bang, bang all over you I'll let you have it
Bang, bang, there goes your heart I know you want it
Back, back seat of my car I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there Ah
Wait a minute till you Ah
Well...
...that was revealing.
Hanna...
...the girls who take this crown home all have one thing in common.
They have allure, mystery.
You, however, need to learn to keep a secret in this age of over sharing.
I have lots of secrets.
Well, anger isn't one of them.
Look, I know that I messed up on that one move but...
It's not about the one move.
It's the whole package.
Everything your putting out there.
You're not pageant material.
It was, um... It's my fault.
I picked the song, it doesn't show what Hanna can do.
Oh, I think I've seen more than enough of what Hanna can really do.
I'm sorry. This isn't going to work for me.
That was a really lousy thing for you to say.
I'm doing her a favor, dear.
Taking her money would be criminal.
She'd only crash and burn in a much more humiliating and a public setting.
She doesn't have what it takes to go the distance.
You, however, do.
- I only came here to help a friend. - That's very generous of you.
You know, Hanna needs to win this.
She might need it, but she doesn't want it.
There's a big difference.
God. Hanna!
Hanna, wait.
Emily.
What are you doing here? How did you know that I was...?
Your mom told me. I got your message from earlier and you sounded weird.
What happened at the Brew yesterday?
- Did Ezra find out about us? - No.
But I met Eric. You told him I was an experiment.
A one-time thing.
- I didn't know where this was going? - It's going nowhere.
- I'm not into girls because it's trendy. - I don't think of you that way.
This relationship now has three people in it, Talia.
And you've been lying to every one of them.
Look, I need to go. Okay?
I have a friend who needs me right now.
- What are you doing here? - Never mind what I'm doing here.
Why is this here?
Mike, why are you stashing my blood in the woods.
- It's not yours. - Really?
Whose is it? Spencer's?
Is it Hanna's?
Mona's. Now, give it to me.
Didn't you hear me calling you in front of school? Hanna.
That woman is not a coach. She's a gorgon.
I don't care how many beauty pageants she's won, she's an ugly person.
Hey, girls. I didn't hear you come in.
Hanna, I spoke to your father.
He doesn't know anything about the pageant or how Kate could've signed up for that room.
- She's not even in Pennsylvania this weekend. - What?
It doesn't matter anyway. Thinking I could do this was asinine.
- Says who? - My coach.
Who'd rather be your coach.
I'm gonna go take my shower.
Did you stick around long enough to hear what happened after she said that?
I told her off, Hanna.
She had no right...
Who's that from?
Oh, my God. Did A put Kate's name on the signup sheet?
A is sitting in jail, Emily.
Mike did this.
And Alison's gonna use whoever she can to keep us here forever.
And guess what, it worked.
I'm not doing that pageant.
Well, I am. For you.
I know how much you need that money. And I swear I will win that prize for you.
Emily, stop. A is just gonna come after you too.
A can come after me any day of the week, anywhere.
That's not gonna stop me from helping someone I love.
Hey, why didn't you call me? Did my mom come down to the station?
She did. And posted my bail.
- Okay. Okay, you'll pay her back. - I already have.
She took it out of the security deposit for the lease, which expired about 20 minutes ago.
She's not kicking you out.
I believe the words she used were, "Effective now."
Is there room for interpretation?
Do you guys have any packing tape?
It's that scumbag from the gallery who should be punished.
Not you. If Toby had made just one call.
I don't think Officer Toby was in a calling mood.
I'm really sorry.
- I can't believe that he just acted like such a... - Such a what?
An over-zealous cop?
Over-zealous boyfriend?
Where are you gonna go?
Who knows?
Maybe I'll live in my car for a while.
I got some cool art to hang on the walls.
Wait.
Take this too. Okay.
Dad!
Dad, are you here?
Dad!
- Stay away from me. Do you hear? - Listen to me...
- No, I swear to God, I'll call the police. - Just listen, okay?
I can explain.
Do you wanna know what happened to Mona or not?
Look, I know what you're thinking, but I didn't hurt her.
A few nights before Thanksgiving, I went to Mona's house and l...
I surprised her.
When did he get the axe?
I can't keep up with you, Lesley.
I swear, we're gonna need the entire weekend just to catch up.
Oh, come on, Lesley, just try, please.
Mona.
Lesley, I have to call you back.
What is all that?
What is this? What the hell is going on?
Don't touch that, okay? Just leave it alone and I'll explain.
What are you doing?
I've been offered a chance to make things right for your sister and her friends.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about exposing A and finally bringing that person down.
Is that your blood?
Yes.
And soon, it's gonna be smeared all over this house.
And Alison DiLaurentis is gonna look responsible for killing me.
Because A wants to see her locked up.
Why would you wanna be involved in all this?
Because A came up with this plan and it's brilliant.
Wait, wait, wait. Stop.
You've been talking to A?
Not directly.
But I will, eventually.
I have to earn it.
And to do that, I have to commit to this 100 percent.
That means I go away.
And when I find out who A is, I come back.
Alison gets out of jail and your sister and her friends are finally safe.
And I'm everyone's hero.
What do you mean, go away?
For how long?
You have to look at the big picture, Mike.
It's only temporary.
Mike.
- If what you're telling me is true... - It is.
I swear.
We fought about this for days...
...and she convinced me that she had it all under control.
That she would be safe.
I don't believe that anymore.
Is this why you've been visiting Alison in jail?
You told her Mona's plan?
Mona and I were supposed to meet a bunch of times but she's never shown up.
I only went there to find out if she knew anything about A.
Because you think that A double-crossed Mona and killed her.
- But why are you so sure that Alison isn't A. - She can't be.
Alison wasn't even here when it happened.
Cyrus told me that A had him get Alison out of town that day.
Mike, why do have Mona's blood.
She gave it to me.
As a promise that she would be coming back.
I wasn't hiding it in that tree because I hurt her.
I was hiding it because I didn't want you to find it and ask questions.
It was all I had left of her.
So that necklace was for Mona?
Mike was holding on to any grain of hope but not anymore.
He realized that she's really dead.
I guess your brother didn't realize how vicious A can be.
I can't believe that your brother knows about A at all.
If Mona told Mike, she must have really trusted him.
More than I did.
So, what now?
- Do we tell Alison? - How can we?
We destroyed a lot of evidence that could've proved that she was innocent.
Made a barricade so the police had to throw her behind bars.
- Are we gonna say anything before her trial? - We have to.
We accused her of being A. To her face.
How do we take that back?
