Hanna Marin

"Alison, you were the best friend I ever had, but also my worst enemy."

- Hanna to Alison DiLaurentis

Hanna Marin is one of the main characters in the Pretty Little Liars television series on ABC Family. She is portrayed by Ashley Benson.

Biography
Hanna used to be overweight prior to Alison's disappearance. Despite being the sweetest of the bunch, she was constantly made fun of by Alison for being overweight, calling her Hefty Hanna. After Alison went missing, Hanna befriended Mona and lost weight and became popular over the summer. The newly minted queen bee, Hanna, wins Homecoming Queen but is constantly reminded by A of her dorky days as "Hefty Hanna".

Even though Hanna is one of the most popular and prettiest girls at school, she is generous and kind. She is the boldest and the most outspoken of the four girls often making snarky comments, not afraid to say what she really thinks of a person. However, she is very gullible and ends up trusting people easily.

Hanna is witty and sassy but also innocent, caring and thoughtful. She does everything to keep her loved ones safe from A. She is protective of her friends and shows her fierce side when defending them. Hanna's sarcasm and sense of humor often makes her come across as 'ditsy'. However, she is actually quite smart and bright. Her strong instinct has often led her to find many a clue about A and she also scored well on the SAT's. Hanna tends to get in trouble owing to her impulsive and rebellious nature. After Spencer, Hanna is the one who has shown most effort, strength and dedication to find out who A is.

Physical Appearance
Hanna has a beautiful heart shaped face complimented with piercing baby blue eyes, full lips and dimpled smile. She has a curvaceous frame with slim, shapely legs. Her golden blonde hair was long; she cut it short before the start of senior year in Season 3. Her skin is light with a milk and rose complexion which sums up her innocent and playful personality. In Season 5, Hanna again, after Alison comes back cuts her hair short with black highlights and has a curvy body. Hanna does this because she doesn't want to look like Alison or be associated with her, but still has to help cover and take care of her.

Prior to the "Pilot," Hanna was a larger form of herself, and because of her increased weight gained the nickname 'Hefty Hanna' from Alison.

Series
Pilot
 * -|Season 1=

The series begins with footage of the night Alison DiLaurentis disappeared, Alison, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin and Emily Fields were having a sleepover in Spencer's barn. Alison had scared them by sneaking up on the other girls in the barn's doorway. They had laughed and joked about it and sipped drinks with Alison. Later, Aria had awakened, followed by Hanna and Emily, to find Ali and Spencer missing. Spencer had returned to let the other girls know that Ali was missing and that she thinks she heard a scream.

One year later, at the local mall, Hanna and her friend Mona Vanderwaal are shopping. Hanna bumps into Spencer and takes the opportunity to catch up with her. She then shoplifts a pair of super expensive sunglasses, while Mona shoplifts a scarf. Just then, a security guard follows Hanna out of the store, but to hand her bag, which she forgot inside. Hanna smiles mock innocently, and her and Mona leave, scared, but relieved.

At school, the formerly chubby, gawky Hanna, has become the new Queen Bee, alongside formerly nerdy sidekick Mona, who has had a glam makeover of her own. In English class, Hanna picks up on the weirdness between Mr. Fitz and Aria.

That night, the police show up at Hanna Marin's doorstep, busting her for shoplifting the expensive sunglasses from the local mall. They caught her using the security tapes. At the precinct, she almost munches on candy corn to calm her nerves until "A" sends a mocking text, alluding to her overweight days. At this point, all four girls have been messaged by "A." The man on the case, Detective Wilden, has his sights more set on her newly single mother, Ashley Marin. Hanna is waiting in the station when Ashley prompts Hanna to get up and leave. Outside the station, dozens of cop cars are seen rushing somewhere with their sirens on.

In the car, Ashley scolds Hanna for her mistake, reminding her daughter that Rosewood is unforgiving of damaged reputations. She gleans from Hanna that she did it to get her father's attention, not because she couldn't obtain the merchandise on her own. Ashley lets Hanna know that she will take care of the situation and tells Hanna to admit nothing.

Later that night, Hanna stands in a crowd surrounding Alison DiLaurentis' old house with Spencer and Aria and they look on as a body bag rolls past on a stretcher.

Back at home, Hanna sits on the couch eating ice cream, eyes glued to the television set, as the news report of Ali's resurface unfolds. Apparently, her body was found under the gazebo in the backyard, which had been under construction the summer before when Ali had gone missing. Suddenly, Ashley loudly enters the house... with Darren. The two kiss animalistically. She then climbs the stairs with him, leading him to her bedroom, turning to exchange eye glances with Hanna, who watches guiltily frozen on the couch.

At the funeral, Hanna sits in the front pew with Spencer, Emily and Aria, the four friends reunited under such grim circumstances. Hanna sips from a flask and Aria receives a text message. The other three tense up waiting to hear who the text is from and they all realize the mysterious "A" has been contacting all four of them. Spencer turns and gasps when she spots Jenna Marshall being escorted down the aisle. No one expected Jenna to come to Ali's funeral.

After the service, Darren Wilden introduces himself to The Liars, though Hanna needs no introduction. He tells them that he will be reviewing their statements and watching them during this murder investigation. All four girls get a text that "A" will also be watching.

The Jenna Thing The Pretty Little Liars sit at the Apple Rose Grille, that night, discussing the new messages from "A" that they are receiving as well as Alison's disappearance. They also discuss their fears that "The Jenna Thing" will be revealed, but Spencer believes that no one knows the truth about their carefully guarded secret. Hanna pours some liquid from her hip flask into her beverage to her friends' disapproval. Spencer reveals that Ali had confided in her that she had been dating someone that summer, an older boy who had a girlfriend, but Ali never told her who. Just then, the girls cringe as they hear a tapping sound, instinctively knowing that blind Jenna Marshall has entered with her walking stick. They silently get up and leave.

The next morning, Ashley and Hanna get ready for their day in the kitchen. Suddenly, Detective Wilden's face appears on the news cast discussing the finding of Alison DiLaurentis' body. Ashley promptly shuts it off and asks Hanna is she's up to attending school that day. Hanna nods, and Ashley tells her not to let the news reports get into her head. Hanna apologizes for the cop, but Ashley reassures her daughter that she won't see him again.

At school, an announcement is made over the loudspeaker, calling Emily, Aria, Spencer and Hanna to the principal's office. The girls are slightly panicked, and a mocking text from "A" doesn't help their nerves any. At the office, Darren Wilden interrogates the girls about Alison DiLaurentis' disappearance, reviewing their stories with great skepticism that he makes sure to show. The girls answer unanimously, but he is sure that they are lying all the same, claiming that their story sounds rehearsed.

At lunch, the girls fret that their lies will get them in trouble. They try to rationalize that the secret they are hiding is unconnected to Ali's murder, but at the same time, their secret reveals that Ali had enemies, people who could have potentially wanted to hurt her. Almost on cue, Jenna walks into the lunch room, the tapping sound of her walking cane unmistakable. Aria invites Jenna to sit with the girls in the cafeteria, and so, the five of them share the most awkward lunch ever, as Jenna notes the dead silence on the part of the girls and the fact that Alison is no longer with them. They all flashback to the accident that blinded Jenna.

In the flashback, it is revealed that one night when the girls were trying on clothes, Ali claimed she spotted Toby Cavanaugh spying on them. So, Ali hatched a plan to drop a stink bomb in his garage for teaching him a lesson, though the others were reluctant. Ali had then ordered Spencer to pass the lighter and ignited the stink bomb, opening the door of the garage, and tossing it inside. But the prank went terribly wrong as the garage caught on fire, and Ali saw too late that someone - Jenna - was inside. As a result, Jenna was permanently blinded from the accident, and Ali made sure that Toby falsely took the blame for it.

While at lunch, the girls' phones go off, and of course it is from "A" letting them know she/he is privy to their guilt.

While Sean Ackard is over at Hanna's, the two sit down to study, but Hanna has other things on her mind. She refills Sean's drink and starts necking him, but he resists her moves as much as possible. Frustrated, she sits down and asks him if he likes her as more than a friend. He replies in the affirmative and kisses her on the lips. Basically, Hanna has come to an impasse with Sean on when to lose their virginity, because of his religious beliefs. Just then, Ashley walks through the door, chatting with Sean, who she clearly approves of. Then, Darren enters with takeout for dinner; Hanna is totally annoyed, and Sean is asked to leave.

The next day, Mona and Hanna are walking out of the mall, flanked with plenty of shopping bags. The two girls are happily chatting about the day's finds when suddenly they catch sight of Darren, standing in the parking lot. Mona reassures her friend that he has nothing on her, as she purchased everything legally. Hanna agrees and walks over to Darren to tell him to back off; she will pay off her debt for the sunglasses if he will only leave her mother alone. But Darren is following Hanna for reasons other than her shoplifting; he admits that he is stalking her because he believes that she is hiding who killed Alison DiLaurentis. Hanna is speechless and resentful.

To Kill a Mocking Girl

The girls decide to erect the memorial in the woods, near The Kissing Rock, where they used to hang out with Ali. When Emily and Spencer bring up Darren Wilden, that creepy detective, Hanna goes silent, clearly upset. The girls don't pick up on that though, but they think Hanna is crazy when she mentions that she thinks Ali is still alive. Just then they hear someone in the forest and a few seconds later, all four phones buzz with a new text from "A" telling them she's hunting them.

The next day, at the Marins', Hanna is sickened to find Detective Wilden opening her fridge shirtless, with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Ashley comes downstairs, offers to make breakfast, and sends Darren upstairs to put clothes on. Hanna is upset that her mother is pandering to Darren, when they don't even eat breakfast, but Ashley points out that the police have not dropped the charges yet, so she can't kick Darren out yet. Frustrated, Hanna leaves.

At school, Mona and Hanna discuss their recent shoplifts, when Sean and Noel Kahn walk over. They announce Noel's blowout cabin party planned for the next night. After they leave, Mona questions Hanna about when she is going to have sex with Sean, and Hanna reacts frustrated. Jenna walks by with her brother Toby, and his reappearance at Rosewood High comes after a mysterious, yearlong absence leaves the girls to wonder whether he had anything to do with Alison’s disappearance, or if he is in fact the omnipresent "A." Then, Detective Wilden appears to talk to Hanna. She tries to protest that she has class, but he has already taken care of that.

In the office, Darren brings up Hanna's ugly duckling past and the fact that Hanna started to dress more like Alison. Hanna argues that Alison helped her make those changes, but Darren is trying to portray her as the jealous fat girl who bumped off Alison to get ahead. Hanna flashbacks to the time in her chubby days when she asked Sean out to a party; he had accepted after pressure from Alison. Darren says he needs information about the past, so Hanna brings up his party boy drinking past as a comeback. She then accuses Darren of getting his information from her living room while he was half-naked and walks out.

At Noel's party, Sean is playing foosball with his friends. Hanna is totally annoyed by how much she feels Sean is ignoring her. So, she takes Sean to a private cabin room, where she starts passionately kissing him. Hanna starts rummaging through her purse for a condom, but when Sean catches sight of it, he gets up, and the two start arguing. Sean says he doesn't want to have sex with her and calls Hanna desperate to prove something. Hanna is totally hurt and turns away. Sean tries to comfort her by giving her his jacket, but she snaps at him, not wanting him to see her tears. He leaves, and she falls to the floor crying.

Sean resumes his place at the foosball table, and Hanna gets a text from "A" mocking her for being a loser that can't score a guy. The anger and embarrassment builds to a crescendo, and Hanna grabs Sean's keys and heads for his car. Mona sees her friend angrily marching across the lawn and getting into Sean's car; she tries to stop her, but Hanna doesn't even turn her head. She speeds off with Sean's black sports car. She later climbs out of the crashed car, which won't stop beeping.

The next day, the girls reconvene in the woods to memorialize Alison in the shed they used to play in. Spencer lets the other girls know that Alison had something on Toby, besides him being a supposed Peeping Tom. The other girls are surprised to find this information out from her so much after the fact. The girls change their minds and decide to pick a more public place for the memorial. They hear something with them in the forest, again, and this time they all run as soon as they hear it. The person gets away, but they do find the same friendship bracelet Alison was wearing the night she disappeared, perhaps planted by whoever was in the forest with them.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Hanna gets lectured by her mother who says she never wants to see another cop car in front of the house again. Going along with their new plan, the girls map out the details of Alison's new memorial park bench. Spencer then comes up with the idea of "A-proofing." She blocks all messages from people she doesn't know and does the same with the other girls' laptops and cellphones. The girls also appreciate the view when Mr. Fitz rides buy on his bicycle, wearing shorts. Just then, a crunched up missing Alison flier blows towards them with a celebratory remark about her death.

At school, Hanna's father calls, telling her that he is coming to Rosewood. She suspects that it is because he's heard of her crashing Sean's car, but doesn't have the guts to ask him directly.

In Spencer's room, Hanna tries on outfits for dinner with her father that night. Spencer reveals the trouble she is in with Melissa's stolen essay. Hanna also asks if Spencer peeked to see if she got any "A" messages, but Spencer has not, and neither has Hanna.

Later that evening, Tom shows up at Hanna's house to take her out to dinner. Ashley was under the impression that she was invited to dinner as well and clearly dressed for the occasion. She tries to hide her disappointment/hurt when he breaks the news that he intended to take only Hanna. Outside, Tom makes a comment about his car being new and therefore he should drive, and Hanna freezes, realizing that he is only there to see her because of the incident with Sean's car. He agrees, but asks to her to indulge him all the same, and after a pause, she goes along with him.

The next day, Hanna happily retells the details of the past night to the other Pretty Little Liars, how she had spent quality time with her father, and he had listened. She has another dinner date set with her father that night, and Hanna talks about visiting Maryland more to see him. The bell rings, and Ezra begins his English class. Hanna seems to pick up on the awkward tension when Mr. Fitz accuses a student of not understanding the book while vehemently defending Aria's interpretation.

That night, Tom brings more than Hanna bargained for to dinner. He starts off the evening having a conversation with his daughter about how she is doing, but then interrupts it to beckon two people over to them: a new fiancé with a daughter Hanna's age, to boot. Tom kisses both women, and Hanna is flabbergasted, though polite.

During dinner, Kate is telling a story about her sailing; Hanna smiles politely. Isabel suggests that Kate could teach Hanna how to sail, and Hanna makes a joke that nobody gets. Tom awkwardly uses that moment to embarrass Hanna and bring up Sean's car and the deal he's made with Mrs. Ackard, which is to have Hanna work in her dental office in order to pay off the damages. Hanna then gets an SOS text from Spencer.

Spencer walks Wren to his motel room, and before she leaves, the two kiss with Hanna watching in the car. He invites her in, but she doesn't take it that far. Suddenly, "A" dedicates a radio song - "I don't need you anymore" - to Hanna on the channel that Hanna happens to be listening to. Hanna is freaked out.

Hanna and Spencer return to Spencer's home and find a message scrawled in lipstick on her vanity: "It won't be that easy bitches." Spencer sends an SOS to Emily and Aria, and the girls survey the vanity together. The Alison bracelet has not been touched, and the broken flower pot downstairs has creepily been arranged to look like a tombstone.

Still reeling from the haunting message scrawled across Spencer’s vanity, the next morning the girls discover an additional, even spookier message from "A" – this one in the form of a video of the girls the previous night that was clearly recording them from inside Spencer’s closet. It is sent in a text to Hanna as an attachment. The girls reveal that they have unblocked their phones. They then go upstairs and open the closet to find the lipstick that was used to write the message on the vanity - Aria thinks it is the same shade of red that Jenna wears.

As a penance for crashing Sean’s car, Hanna is forced to take a filing job in his mom’s dental office working with kids. On her way from work, her shopping bag containing her uniform sneakers, and at that moment, she bumps into Sean. Sean lets Hanna know that he tried to take the blame for the car, but Hanna owns up to it herself. She brings up going with him to homecoming, and he says he'll think about it. Just then, a blonde cheerleader picks up Sean to drive him to school.

While on her way to work at Dr. Ackard's office, Hanna spots Jenna in the building's elevator. She applies that same shade of red lipstick, leaning into the mirror as she applies a fresh coat. Hanna follows her to her floor and she has been seeing a psychiatrist in the same building as Dr. Ackard's practice.

Later, jealous of Sean's new interest in this cheerleader, checks out her social networking page. Her name is Amber, and Hanna totally resents her. Ashley reassures her daughter that Sean isn't necessarily dating this girl, just because she has been driving him to school. Hanna also fills Ashley in on the fact that Tom is engaged, and she is somewhat taken aback. Just then, "A" sends a shocked Hanna an attached file of Maya and Emily kissing in an email.

Spencer and Hanna sit at the Grille, discussing about the lipstick. Just then, Emily walks by, and they fill her in. Later, the waitress hands Emily the mixed CD, leaving Hanna to believe Maya made it for her and encourages Emily not to bullied by pursuing a non-conventional relationship.

Ashley discusses relationships with Hanna at home. After bumping into Sean on her way to his mother's office, Hanna finds out that Amber is not Sean's love interest; she is a fellow member to "Real Love Waits," the virginity club at school. Sean expresses to her that he never meant to let her down; he's just serious about his abstinence pledge. So, Hanna decides to keep close tabs on Sean by joining his abstinence club in order to spend time with him.

Hanna, Spencer, and Emily arrive at Aria's to console her with Chinese take-out and rag mags – thinking she’s sullen from her parents' marriage troubles. While discussing their plans for homecoming dance, the girls open their fortune cookies to find another prank from "A" notes cluing them into the fact that he or she will be attending homecoming as well.

At school, Hanna attends a "Real Love Waits" meeting to keep an eye on Sean and his new friend Amber. There, Hanna finds an unlikely friend in Lucas Gottesman. The members are asked to role play situations in which they would be pressured to have sex. Sean and Amber pair off, with Sean convincingly acting the part of the instigator who wants to go all the way with Amber, and Amber refuses accordingly. Hanna is called to take a turn - with Lucas. Unenthusiastic, she pretends to ask Lucas upstairs to her room, and after initially refusing to play along, he then says "yes," making Hanna finally smile and Sean see red.

At lunch, Spencer urges Hanna to try and steal Jenna’s file from the psychiatrist’s office that’s in the same building as where she works, certain that it contains the key to the identity of "A" or at the very least what the Cavanaughs are hiding. They then catch sight of Toby, who temporarily picks up his shirt long enough for the girls to spot a tattoo that says "901 Free At Last," presumably memorializing the date Alison disappeared, but they haven't put this together yet. Then, Hanna makes a false move in nudging Maya to attend Homecoming and makes a comment that Emily wants her to come.

After school, Hanna goes to Mrs. Ackard's office building to try and sneak into the psychologist's office, but there are workers doing construction there. So, she rigs the door so that they can get back in later over the weekend. Hanna visits Aria's house later to get ready for homecoming. She comforts Aria about her family situation and unsuccessfully tries to get her to admit who she's crushing on. Hanna assumes it is a boy in Iceland and insists she move on.

At the dance, Hanna and Spencer joke with Aria that they will share their dates with her. Mona and Hanna get into a heated argument when Mona makes nasty comments to Lucas, who has come to photograph the dance for the yearbook. Hanna greets him warmly, but Mona shoos him away. After he leaves, the two argue over whether popularity is more important than befriending nerds.

Then Toby and Emily arrive at the door, shocking the other PLLs. Emily is particularly surprised by Hanna's reaction, as she had seemed so supportive of Emily following her heart. Hanna then confesses that she had thought Emily was referring to Maya, but before they can continue their conversation, Toby appears.

The girls try to enjoy by dancing with their dates, but then Spencer calls them to convene, convincing Hanna to go steal the file. She commissions Aria to keep Sean occupied on the dance floor while Hanna slips out to his mother's office building. Outside, Hanna sees Lucas leaving early as well, so she gets him to give her a ride to the office; he confesses that he had come to the dance in order to take photographs and also to cast his vote for her as homecoming queen.

Hanna is the homecoming queen, but she misses being crowned. So, Sean is photographed standing alone. She did manage to find the file, though. Hanna returns to school with the file and she, Spencer and Aria read it. They realize what information Alison blackmailed Toby with the night of the Jenna Thing - Toby's sexual relationship with his step-sister. Assuming that this was Toby's motive for murder, they send Emily a text message warning her that Toby killed Alison, then set out to find her.

They shout Emily's name while searching the hallways. Eventually they find her cell phone in the chemistry lab, along with an upturned lab table, broken beakers, and blood on the floor. They fear the worst.

The next day, Hanna joins Emily in her room, while Spencer and Aria try to convince Emily to come forward to the police. Hanna whips out Toby's psychological profile from her pocket; she had tried to return it, but when she arrived at the office, she saw cops looking for that very piece of evidence!

While Hanna and Emily are alone, Emily finds out from Hanna why she had thought Maya would have been her date to the dance. Hanna confesses that she saw the picture of them kissing and finds out in turn from Emily why she went with Toby and not Maya. Emily admits that she's afraid of everything changing.

Hanna finds herself increasingly attracted to the geeky, different Lucas, who takes photos of the discordant Sean and Hanna as a belated homecoming royalty shot for the yearbook. Lucas takes several shots of the two, (perhaps purposely) annoying Sean with his suggestions, such as to have Hanna pose sitting on his lap. Sean smiles through gritted teeth, and the shoot ends in a bitter argument between Hanna and Sean.

The girls, without Emily, head toward the shed to hide Toby’s file that Hanna stole, but in a panic, Aria decides to throw it in the river instead – moments before Emily finally gets through to their cell phones pleading with them not to destroy it. All the while the girls bicker, panicked, and in the process Hanna complains that only she gets caught for her mistakes; unlike Spencer, who got away with stealing Melissa's essay, Hanna had to pay bitterly for shoplifting.

Later, Lucas and Hanna bond over funny internet videos. Lucas confesses how intimidated he used to be by Hanna when she was still a part of Alison's group. He reveals how much it had hurt that Alison called him "hermy, the hermaphrodite," and Hanna shares how Alison had called her "Hefty Hanna." Lucas can't understand how Hanna had been her friend.

The girls all gather in Emily's room and Emily tells them she saw Toby's motorcycle all smashed up and Jenna in tears on her porch. While processing this news with her friends, she receives a text from "A": "Thanks for getting Toby out of my way." They thought they were done with "A," but apparently not.

Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna begin to prepare for Alison’s memorial. The memorial sparks memories of a summer day that the girls had spent lounging by the shore of the lake. Ironically, the girls had spoken about immortality and the fantasy of living in this moment forever. Alison had said that one could attain that only by dying young and leaving behind a beautiful corpse. Getting into it, Alison had romanticized how fabulous it would be to die in a mysterious way.

At home, the Marins' financial woes grow deeper, evidenced by one of Hanna’s credit cards being declined. Ashley lets Hanna know that adjustments need to be made until their situation improves. Hanna steps up and decides to help out in a rather unorthodox and un-Hanna way: she agrees to put up a lot of her old clothes and handbags up for auction online, at the suggestion of her new ally Lucas.

They must contend with Alison’s older brother arriving in Rosewood a changed man – the formerly gawky and Gothic outsider is now as polished as a preppy politician, and he’s got plenty of plans for the memorial of his own. Jason surprises the girls with news that Jenna has asked to speak at Alison’s memorial, and he’s agreed to let her much to their dismay.

At school, Hanna and Sean have made up, though Sean is still wary of her hanging out with Lucas, even if it is for yearbook. Hanna lets Aria know that Sean's friend, Noel, wants to ask her out and tries to convince her to double date after school. Though reluctant at first, Aria eventually accepts.

Officer Wilden returns, visiting Hanna while she works on yearbook. He tries to intimidate her into revealing Toby's whereabouts, which he suspects she might know being Emily's friend. The possibility is far-fetched, and it is revealed that Officer Wilden is desperate to make progress in Alison's murder investigation. Jason's return has put extra pressure on the Rosewood Police Force to finally solve this case. Hanna coolly responds to his harassment, threatening to mention to Jason how Officer Wilden used to parade around her house in a towel.

While Lucas is helping Hanna, she remembers who else Alison had picked on that summer day. When Lucas had run in front of them to pick up his toy motor boat, she had incessantly made offensive comments to him. Finally, Hanna had exclaimed "hey" as if to stand up to Alison and stop her from teasing him, but she recoiled and sat silent. Alison then turned on her, warning her to never let a moment pass, as Lucas trudged away.

Later at Hanna's house, Hanna pushes an uneasy Aria closer to Noel Kahn. Then, Lucas briefly stops by, giving Sean pause. Hanna claims it is for yearbook, but really, Lucas has dropped off the cash proceeds from Hanna's old handbags.

When Ashley comes home, she is stunned to see a fully stocked fridge and is upset to learn that Hanna sold her belongings. She expresses appreciation, but asks Hanna never to do it again, as it makes her feel inadequate as a provider.

At the memorial, the girls are stunned by the sudden reappearance of Ian, Melissa’s ex, but even more surprised when Jenna takes the stage. As they wait with bated breath and anxiousness as to what she will say, or worse yet, spill - in the end, she offers quite possibly the kindest words for their dearly departed friend. Whether her moving speech was actually sincere, the Pretty Little Liars can’t be sure, because it could just as easily be another trick up Jenna’s sleeve.

After the memorial, Jason stops by Spencer's house to thank the girls, to give them a gift - the "Alison" friendship bracelet Alison had been wearing the day of her death. The girls quickly realize that the beaded "Alison" bracelet that they had found must have been a fake, fashioned by someone like "A."

Spencer, Aria, and Hanna study for the SAT while a storm brews in Rosewood. The next morning, Veronica escorts the girls into Rosewood High, leery of why the test is going to be administered as planned with a hurricane brewing outside.

Hanna and Lucas grow closer as Lucas continues to score Hanna big bucks selling her used accessories on the internet. But Mona is not enthusiastic about this new relationship development and mercilessly taunts Lucas, calling him "hermie" and "shim," names had Alison made up. Later, fed up, Hanna pulls Mona aside and calls her a hypocrite for treating someone of lesser social status so heartlessly when they used to be on that same strata themselves!

Soon, they all run into Detective Wilden bearing shocking news: somebody has trashed Alison’s memorial, and he’s there to investigate. The girls cover for Emily without knowing why. They lie about Emily's whereabouts the night before and claim that she was studying with them, although they are weirded out by Emily's secretiveness about what she was really doing, when even they don't know the truth.

They continue studying in the library. Emily goes off by herself. Later, while they are all in the locker room, Wilden hustles Emily into an empty classroom to question her. Although uninvited, the other girls follow, suspicious of the detective's shadiness. There, he accuses Emily of trashing Alison's memorial and even casts aspersions as to whether she murdered Alison. He pulls out the detached pieces of Alison's memorial and exposes Emily's letter to her friends. Flustered, Emily confesses that she loved Alison as more than a friend, but never intended any harm towards her. She felt bad about the mean things she wrote in that letter and went to Alison's memorial seeking closure and forgiveness. By the time she arrived, it had already been vandalized, and she took the figurines from the statue in her bag because they were the only pieces of the memorial that weren't broken. Just then, Veronica walks in, outraged that the girls' safety has been compromised when they should be in the locker room during this storm. She gives Detective Wilden a piece of her mind and blasts him for trying to interrogate minors without an adult present. The girls are quick to chime in and exclaim the absurdity of accusing sweet Emily of murdering Alison, never mind stealing her bag without a search warrant. It seems that Detective Wilden will be off the case.

At school, Mona hand delivers invitations for her camping birthday party on Saturday to select friends in the hallway. Of course, Hanna plans to go, but the rest of the girls are not planning to attend Mona's party, not caring for attitude-driven Mona all that much. They apologize to Hanna, but then "A" sends a message that she will also be in attendance and that the party is a scavenger hunt for her.

After school, Hanna discusses with her mother their strapped financial situation. Ashley doesn't want to reveal just how deep their money problems are, but Hanna gets an idea when she presses redial on the house phone to hear that she just called the delinquent accounts department of a mortgage company. Then, Mona comes over, hoping to convince Hanna to ditch school with her and celebrate her birthday by going shopping at designer stores and having lunch at Rive Gauche. Ashley, though tight on cash, proudly forks over $100 to her daughter when she hears Hanna refusing to join Mona based on the fact that things have been tight for them lately. She expresses disapproval over the idea of ditching school though.

At school, the girls are called to the principal's office, once again, for questioning by the police. This forces Hanna to text Mona that she has to back out of their shopping date, as she is forced to sit in the office at school; Mona had warned her that she wouldn't be forgiving if Hanna backed out, and sure enough, Mona texts back: "Screw You." Then, an FBI agent named Agent Cooper arrives; she has been enlisted as the representative of the FBI to assist the Rosewood Police in the murder mystery. Her approach in questioning is far milder than that of Officer Wilden. She does not seem accusing, rather wanting information. She shows them footage (sent by an anonymous source to the Rosewood Police Department) of Alison on the day that she disappeared. In the video, she is calling to someone (a guy) and teasing him that he wants to kiss her. She asks the girls to provide as much information as they can to illuminate the finding. The girls are cooperative. Hanna, ever the fashionista, lets Agent Cooper know that she is positive that the sweater Alison takes off in the video did not belong to her.

Later, Hanna is abruptly dumped from the guest list of Mona’s birthday party because she ditched Mona and also due to an alleged text sent by "A" to Mona, spreading the rumor that Hanna got liposuction to lose weight. Apparently, the rumor made its way to more than just Mona, because an overweight girl randomly approaches Hanna and asks who her doctor was. Hanna laughs it off to this stranger, but not to Mona. Mona is so upset she even embarrasses her (former) friend in front of Naomi and Riley, as she dis-invites her from the party. At least Spencer and Emily are supportive and comfort Hanna about the falling out. It is ironic that Hanna mentions that Mona was her friend when the girls were no longer, and now that she is in a fight with Mona, she has them to fall back on. Can't she have both?

At Spencer's house, Spencer confides to her friends that she had kissed Ian, and, after the two broke up, she had dated Ian for a while early last summer. The girls are understanding, unlike Alison had been. Speaking of Alison, the girls suddenly see Alison's photograph on the television screen. The report is talking about a sweater found in Alison's home with a matching blood stain. It is then revealed that the police have issued an arrest for Toby Cavanaugh, being wanted for Alison's murder. The girls are led to believe that Toby was Alison's mystery boyfriend, since the sweater was identified as his.

That evening, the girls plan to attend the party at the Rosewood Camping Grounds, and Hanna plans to secretly stake out the woods near the party, should "A" rear his or her head.

At the party, Hanna is on lookout with binoculars in the woods. She sees a car pull up and someone get in. She strains to see in the dark and realizes it is Mr. Fitz's car and Aria just got into it! Sure enough, a figure Hanna assumes to be the elusive "A" shows up and writes "I see you" in the condensation on the back windshield. Hanna tries to get a hold of Aria to warn her, but Aria is deep in conversation with Ezra and doesn't pick up her phone.

Hanna texts the girls "I know who A is" and directs them to meet her in the parking lot. Hanna's discovery yields possibly fatal results because when she gets to the parking lot and spots the girls, she’s quickly hit and flung over the top of an unknown car, whose driver doesn't stop to assess the damage. The girls rush to her side and call 911. A text from "A" reveals that she/he is responsible. Hanna "knew too much."

The next morning, Hanna wakes up in the hospital with her mother by her side. Hanna asks about her friends, and her mom tells her that the girls were there the night before, along with Sean and Lucas. Mom is of course concerned by this nerdy acquaintance her daughter has made, but seems placated to hear that he's nothing more than a yearbook colleague.

The other girls come to the hospital to see Hanna, but first they have to get rid of Ashley so that they can talk candidly. Once Hanna manages that, she reveals two bombshells she discovered: that Aria is involved with Ezra and that Noel must be ―"A." She witnessed Noel run up to Ezra's car while Aria was inside and write "I SEE YOU" on his windshield, albeit without signing it from "A."

Later, Hanna wakes up from a bad dream and gets creeped out by the teddy bear staring at her. Then, Mona comes in waving a white bra as a peace flag. Mona tells Hanna that she admires her for taking a bow after puking on a trampoline during a backflip. It's the reason she wanted to be her friend. Mona feels guilty about the fight they had, and the two quickly resume their friendship. Next, Mona breaks out makeup to make Hanna look fabulous again.

That night, Hanna's door creepily opens until is revealed that it is just Lucas coming to visit her. He leans over to kiss her on the forehead while she sleeps. After he walks away, Hanna opens her eyes because she was totally awake and knew that he kissed her.

The next morning Hanna wakes up to see Ashley standing over her. Hanna tells her mother that she doesn't need a private room, since it’s expensive. Hanna's mom makes up something about a temporary bank loan to placate her daughter.

After that, Hanna has a painkiller-induced hallucination (or is it?) – as our favorite troublemaker, donned in a candy striper outfit, drops subtle hints about her disappearance that fateful night. Hanna tries to ask her what happened, but all Alison will say is that the four of them combined already know the truth. She says that she finds "A" to be a bitch and tells Hanna that she needs to do something about her. She also says that it is dangerous for her to come, but she did it for Hanna, worried about her being in the hospital. After she leaves, Hanna spots a styrofoam cup near her bed with a berry-colored lipstick stain on the rim, matching the exact shade of lipstick Alison is wearing during her "visit."

In the afternoon, Lucas brings Hanna vanilla, tapioca, and butterscotch pudding, but no chocolate (?). Hanna tells Lucas he's a good friend. When he doesn't take the hint, she brings up his nighttime smooch, and he confirms that it did in fact happen. Lucas thinks she can do better than Sean and leaves her alone with her thoughts and her pudding.

Later, the girls are contemplating the possibility of "A" and the killer being two different people when they discover an "A" message on Hanna's cast, indicating that "A" had visited Hanna in the hospital. Hanna is visibly freaked out.

The next day, the girls wheel their helpless friend Hanna back into her home, where she‘ll be on bed rest for a few more days before returning to school. They leave to get the rest of her belongings. While attempting to reach something on a high shelf, she knocks some boxes down and discovers the wads of cash in a lasagna box that Ashley's been hiding from her mini-heist. The girls return, and Hanna gets rid of them so she can be alone with her stack of money. She's not too alone though, because she gets a text from "A!" A little while later, Hanna confronts her mom about the money, which she plays off as a "loan.” Ashley insists that it's her problem and that Hanna should just worry about getting better.

Mona, feeling guilty for dumping Hanna the night she was hit, decides to throw her a surprise welcome home party, but it doesn’t turn out well. Not only does Noel show up, but Lucas drinks too much. Just the sight of Noel prompts Hanna to have a flashback about him at a different party, when Alison had manipulated a girl to dump Noel so Aria could have him. Hanna tries to talk to Lucas, but he's too busy pounding alcohol to put up with her niceties.

Hanna and Sean are telling a story about skiing when Lucas interrupts to pick a fight with Sean by calling him a Saint Bernard. Lucas is clearly still upset about Hanna rejecting him and makes a big scene. When Sean finally gets mad, Noel hilariously stops him by declaring, "It's like fighting a kid that needs a telethon!" Hanna requests an audience with Lucas outside. She tells him not to pick a fight with Sean when he's really mad at her. Lucas says not everything is about her. He goes off on a rant that ends with him revealing that he destroyed Alison's memorial since she was such a bitch to him for so long. Hanna tells him she'll keep it between them, but that just makes him sadder because when she's nice to him, it makes him like her more. Hanna brings up her suspicious feelings about Noel to Sean, who just wants to party. Hanna's not really in the party mood, though.

Alone at her house, Hanna hears creepy noises from upstairs. She wheels around with one of her crutches and then hides in the kitchen in the dark. Just when she's starting to freak the out, her mom comes home and asks what happened. When she hears that people were over, she promptly heads to the pasta box to find that their money has been stolen.

Hanna and her mom are saddened by the fact that their stolen money has been stolen, so Hanna shares her sleeping pills with her mom as a condolence prize. Once she's alone, Hanna finds a note from "A" in one of her pill boxes promising to give the money back if she does what A says.

The next day, as Ashley drops Hanna off at school, sans cast, Hanna brings up her guilt over losing the money. Her mom says she already paid off their debt, but now she can't invest the rest to earn enough to pay it all back. Then her mom insists that "it's only a felony if they find out."

Meanwhile, Hanna finds a note attached to a Benjamin Franklin in her locker, telling her to pick up an order for "Hefty Hanna" from Lucky Leons on Main Street. Hanna quickly hides the money when Aria appears, then lies about having physical therapy in order to avoid getting coffee with Aria after school.

Hanna has flashbacks to her heavier days while "A" forces her to go on a cupcake binge, cruelly decorated like piglets, in public to earn back more of her mom's stolen money; she recalls the time Alison gave her advice to purge after binges to drop the pounds. She eats, as lacrosse jocks from school, including Noel, look on and taunt her. Hanna sees this as proof of Noel's identity as "A."

After Hanna finishes the cupcakes, she receives a text from "A" presumably taunting her to purge the cupcakes. Just then, Aria spots her and comes over, capably getting rid of the athletes, who are still oinking at her. Aria asks Hanna why she lied about physical therapy, and Hanna confesses about the bulimia. Hanna goes to the bathroom, but not to take "A" up on the second part of her dare; instead, she goes to wash her face and reaches for the paper towels. The first one reads "Oink, Oink Hanna," followed by a few hundred dollar bills, also courtesy of "A."

At home, Hanna tries to sneak her hard-earned cash back into the lasagna box, but her mom walks in and busts her. Hanna claims that she found it in the bathroom at the cupcake place, and mom is skeptical, but not going to complain about the influx of cash. Hanna's mom also refuses to reveal how she can tell when Hanna is lying, so Hanna stands in front of the mirror and declares she is a virgin, then says she isn't a virgin, hoping to catch the difference in her demeanor.

The next day, Spencer spills the beans about Melissa's impending pregnancy to Hanna. Spencer voices her suspicion about Melissa sudden decision for children. Emily comes over and reveals that Maya is being shipped off to juvie camp for three months because of the joint Pam found.

The girls are at Spencer's house, and Aria is all smiles because "A" saved her relationship. Hanna reminds Aria that "A" also tried to run her down, but as long as Ezra gets to stay in town, she's happy. Melissa comes in and makes some pleasantries with the girls, which ends in her telling the girls that she doesn't have to worry about Ian looking at other women. Then, the girls surprise Emily by sneaking her away for one last, romantic night between the two in Spencer‘s room – with lit candles and plenty of privacy.

The rest of the girls go through Ian's boxes downstairs while Emily and Maya have a bittersweet farewell dance upstairs. The girls downstairs accomplish nothing. Maya thanks them and hugs everyone goodbye while someone watches from the window. After she's gone, Emily thanks them and Hanna mentions another girl who went where Maya is heading for huffing spray paint and came back as a drummer in a gospel band.

They then receive a shocking video (no doubt from "A") about the night Alison disappeared. It is the same footage that Officer Cooper had shown them, but there's extra in this video: seconds of footage center on a smiling Ian. Then the camera angle shifts, and we hear signs of struggling. Alison's hand comes into the view of the lens, groping the leaves on the ground, as she seems to have fallen, until the hand stops moving and goes limp. The girls scream as they see this and hear a noise outside. Whoever it is runs through the woods, and the girls try to chase the stalker, but it's gone by the time they're outside.

The girls examine the video "A" left for them that illuminates what looks to be the final moments of Alison’s life near the Kissing Rock the night she disappeared. Right after Ian's cameo on the video, he surprises them in person, as he tries to grab a late-night snack from the Hastings' kitchen. The girls all freak out while Ian makes small talk, acting nonchalant, so there's no indication whether he saw his face on the computer screen or not. After he leaves, they decide they need to hand the video over to the police.

At school, the girls are decorating for the school's upcoming dance-a-thon, but take a break to discuss whether they should turn the video into the police. They question "A's" motives, but Emily doesn't care; as far as she is concerned, she doesn't want Toby to go to jail, and this video could prevent that. Aria agrees with Emily and offers to drive Spencer to the police station during their lunch break.

Later, Hanna tries to get a job to alleviate the Marins' financial strife. She asks Sean if she can work for his mother as a dental assistant again, but Sean says no, because last time she threatened a kid with a drill bit for aiming his spit at her. Sean is suspicious of why she needs money and can't get it from her mother, so she makes up an excuse about wanting to save up for some expensive earrings. She tries to get a job with a local store clark, who is also a family friend, and finds out just how strapped their situation is when the woman lets her know that her mother owes their store money. Hanna offers to pay off the debt, but the woman says that Hanna alone couldn't pay off the debt, "there are not enough days in the week." Just then, "A" sends Hanna a text offering her money in exchange for a "job" - no doubt shady dealings.

We then see Emily on the phone, arguing with Maya's guards at her rehab center, True North. The guards won't allow her to speak to her girlfriend. Apparently, she can only receive calls from her mother and father. So, Hanna offers up the phone-hacking services of a new kid with tech-cred, who can wire Emily's phone to make it seem that she is one of the St. Germains when she calls Maya.

At lunch, the girls are getting ready to head to the police station when they realize that Spencer's laptop is missing, despite the fact that it has been in her bag, plastered to her side all day, save when she kept it in her gym locker. A notebook seems to have been swapped with her bag, camouflaging the weight difference. The girls deduce that it must have been taken when she left it in her gym locker, which Ian has access to since he is an athletic coach.

That night, Spencer and Hanna wait in the coat check line at the dance, and Hanna shows off her hip flask. Meanwhile, Emily watches Ian lock his suspicious briefcase away in his desk drawer. Ian checks his coat with his keys in the pocket, and the girls begin to hatch a plan to get the keys and get into his desk, where they think Spencer's laptop is clearly hidden. Hanna wonders if he has already erased the video, but Spencer says that if he did, it would indicate definite guilt and that they should inform the police.

Caleb Rivers shows up with Emily's newly souped-up phone, and Hanna calls him out for overcharging poor Emily. They exchange words about not knowing the first thing about Hanna, and he leaves. Hanna then gets a text from "A" telling her to dance with dorky Lucas for $200 per dance.

Hanna is dancing with Sean, but tells him she should dance with poor, lonely Lucas, who reminds her so much of herself in her own dork days. Sean is not happy, and claims that Hanna was different than Lucas, because she was sweet, while Lucas seems deserving of a beating. He then tells her if she wants to perform charity she should save a whale... But Sean leaves, and Hanna convinces Lucas to dance with her. As the song is over, Hanna convinces Lucas to dance with her for just one more song, which happens to be a slow one.

Hanna then leaves Lucas on the dance floor when an angered Sean confronts Hanna about the fact that "one dance" with Lucas has turned into five. Sean is unforgiving of Hanna's unceremonious treatment of him and asks Hanna if she brought him to the dance just to diss him. Hanna then gets a text from "A" upping her payrate to $500 a dance. Any chance of Hanna dancing with Sean again that night, or possibly ever again, is now gone. She returns for another dance with Lucas, discreetly crying on his shoulder as they sway.

Emily drinks from Hanna's stolen hip flask and nearly causes an accusatory scene with Ian, about his murdering Alison. Spencer covers up, claiming her accusation was referring to their kiss, but this too angers Ian, who had hoped nobody else knew that damning secret.Spencer and Hanna get Emily outside and decide they'll all crash at Spencer's that night, so Emily doesn't have to deal with her mother, and Spencer doesn't have to be alone with Ian lurking about. Lucas approaches Hanna and offers her a ride home, but Hanna insists her friends need her. After Lucas walks off, Hanna finds that "A" did not disappoint; she pulls her scarf out of her coat pocket and a fat wad of cash falls out onto the ground. Before they leave, drunk-honest Emily accuses Hanna of pulling an Alison, leading a boy on, only to break his heart; Hanna is guilt-ridden.

At Spencer's home, Hanna prevents Emily from drunk-dialing Maya and puts her to bed. Emily starts to apologize, but Hanna says she was right, and Hanna feels bad for leading Lucas on, so insensitively. But Emily falls asleep, missing Hanna's admission; Hanna removes her shoes and pulls the covers over Emily.

When she goes downstairs, Hanna discovers that Spencer's laptop has reappeared on the coffee table under some newspaper with the incriminating video erased and a photo of Alison the night she disappeared in its stead. There is a message courtesy of "A" to accompany the pixels. The picture shows Alison walking through Spencer's backyard, with a shadow in tow; it seems to have been photographed from the perspective of the DiLaurentis house. Hanna notices the shadow behind Alison and asks Spencer if she knows who it is. Spencer claims not to know.

Aria rouses the girls early in the morning from their sleep at Spencer's house. She's been up all night analyzing the picture that "A" left them. The girls all huddle close to Aria, but Spencer stands aloof, not quite comfortable participating for some reason. Aria has figured out that the picture was taken from the perspective of Alison's bedroom window. She thinks Alison's brother, Jason, may have taken the picture. Hanna notes that her mother saw him at the bank, indicating that he is back in town. Aria proposes talking to Jason, but Emily and Hanna treat the thought of approaching him with disdain. Spencer quickly volunteers, wanting to know if he indeed took the picture.

At home, Hanna slips some big bills into the box of popsicles in the freezer. She manages to slide the door shut before her mother Ashley walks into the kitchen and can see what she's up to. Ashley is taking a work call, and she is nonchalant towards the other person on the line until she hears that a new development has been added to the schedule. Apparently, there is a meeting, previously unplanned, scheduled for later that day. When she gets off the phone, Ashley sits down heavily and lets Hanna know that Mrs. Potter, the lender of their loan, has made an appointment to see Ashley this week. But she tells Hanna to go to school, not outwardly panicking despite the fact that she could be busted very soon for her "unauthorized loan."

Later in the hallway, Hanna calls her mom, worried about their family situation, but Ashley again instructs her to stay calm. Aria and Spencer ask Hanna about her conversation, but she brushes it off. Then Spence gives Aria two tickets to a museum, as her father has no use for them, though he's a member. Aria plans to make a date night with Ezra out of the tickets.

Next, Hanna is notified by Coach Fulton that she has a week's worth of detention for skipping gym class three times. Hanna tries to use ankle pain and the fact that she was hit by a car to get out of it, but Coach Fulton points out that Hanna was on her feet for hours at the dance marathon. Caleb sees the exchange and doesn't miss the opportunity to tease Hanna. Then, Hanna opens her locker to find an envelope from "A" containing a third ticket to the museum opening that Aria plans to attend with Ezra. "A" has commissioned Hanna to give the ticket to Ella Montgomery, thereby busting Aria's illicit relationship, in exchange for getting her mother's cash back. "A" fashions the order in the form of a mother's day card, with a word bubble above the mother saying "I need money."

Hanna returns from school to find her pajama-clad mother asleep on a kitchen chair. When Hanna enters, Ashley stirs quickly and whimsically decides to make pancakes. While she's cracking eggs, she reminisces how she had saved Hanna at the hospital, when the doctors were stitching up her ear. They had wanted to shave the hair there, but Ashley had insisted that the effect could be detrimental to Hanna's state of mind when she woke up. Ashley then tears up and assures Hanna that she will always take care of her. Hanna breaks with her mother to remove the ticket-containing envelope from her bag and jot down the name "Ella Montgomery" on the front.

Hanna then delivers the envelope to Ella Montgomery's school mailbox, adding a line of thanks from the Rosewood PTA, passing it off as a token of appreciation. Aria then spots Hanna and invites her to a joint manicure after school. Hanna declines, using homework as an excuse, which makes Aria raise an eyebrow. Aria takes Hanna's glum mood to be about her breakup with Sean, which prompts her to mention the challenges of her own relationship with Ezra. While on the subject, Hanna suggests that Aria and Ezra cool off and not go to Philadelphia for her date that night. At first Aria is confused, but then she interprets Hanna's remarks as signs of jealousy and walks away, insulted by her friend.

In Ella Montgomery's history class, recalling the beginning of World War II, Spencer plays 'Hermione Granger' by answering all the teacher's questions. Spencer points out that bullies can never be appeased, which gives Hanna pause, as reflected by the expression on her face. When class ends, Hanna hurries over to her to try and stop Ella, but she had already left the classroom. She runs toward her, calling her name, but before she can follow her down the hallway, Coach Fulton corners her and forces her into the detention classroom.

At detention, Hanna finds the company in none other than Caleb. While joking around with her, Caleb learns that Hanna is trying to prevent Ella from driving Philadelphia. He uses his phone to stage that his social worker has dismissed him from detention.

Detention ends for Hanna at 4:00, and she leaves the classroom with a sinking feeling. Then, Hanna visits her mother at work, wanting to be there to support her when the bomb goes off. But, a different bomb is dropped when Denise, Ashley's coworker, interrupts the Marins' conversation to inform Ashley that Mrs. Potter has had a heart-attack and could not be revived. The law-evading women hug at the bittersweet news.

At school the next day, Hanna musters up the courage to approach Aria, planning to confess about almost exposing her relationship. But Aria is thrilled to be talking to Hanna again; they make up, and Aria gushes about her successful date with Ezra. Hanna just goes along with Aria and changes her mind about confessing.

Hanna goes to her locker to find Caleb leaning against it. She compares him to barnacles, making him smile. He then hands her a piece of Ella Montgomery's car, which he removed the day before. When Hanna finds out that Caleb had helped to prevent Ella from getting there, she is pleased, but isn't outwardly grateful. She does offer him money, but Caleb says he wants something else; he doesn't know what yet, but he'll think about it...

At night, the girls are in Spencer's room, where Spencer reveals to the other girls that it was HER shadow in the picture with Alison. She had gone after Ali after the two had a fight. Spencer admits that the reason she had never told the girls thus far was because she had felt responsible for wishing Alison dead. Aria wisely points out that Alison had said far worse, and the other girls comfort her similarly. Suddenly, the girls all move to Spencer's bedroom window, where they see Jason DiLaurentis in his old house across the street, looking out his own window in their direction... The girls are shocked to see him inside.

The next day, at school, Hanna and Aria discuss the new school news: someone has been breaking into the vending machines to steal food and also triggering the school alarm at 3:00 AM in order to leave the building. Who would want to be in school at that hour? Aria then changes the subject to Hanna's least favorite: the ticket to the art gallery. Hanna tries to persuade Aria that the whole thing was just a weird coincidence. She hurriedly leaves Aria to go over to where Caleb is sitting and bossily let him know that his playing with Ella's car is completely confidential. Caleb shoots back that Hanna owes him... Just then Hanna gets a text from "A" warning her that "A" will not keep her secret, even if Caleb will.

In the library, Hanna takes a break from reading with Emily and Spencer in order to meet with Caleb. Caleb has come up with an idea for what he would like Hanna to do to repay him: date him - in order to up his credibility at school and win himself some customers who will trust a guy that dates the homecoming queen. Reluctantly, Hanna arranges a time at Emily's swim match the next day, where she will be cheering on her friend.

In Aria's room, Hanna continues to try to distract Aria from stressing about the gallery ticket and what would have happened had her mother's car not stalled. Aria then overhears her father on the phone with someone, saying that he plans to meet him/her in the dark. Aria is sure from the conversation that Byron Montgomery is talking to a woman, and Byron denies that he was speaking to Ella when Aria asks. She is especially suspicious because he had said that he was going to a department dinner, but at least Byron has the sense to admit that those plans 'fell through." Aria's wants Hanna's help in getting to the bottom of this new mystery. She gets Hanna to join her in stalking her father.

Next, Aria's suspicions of her father having another extramarital affair lead her to Rosewood High School of all places. Hanna has the bright idea to have Aria call her mother, who is in the school library. On the phone, Ella tells her daughter that she is at home, and Aria lies likewise. Unsure, Aria goes into the building with Hanna on her heels to check out what's going on. Crouching inside the library, they see Byron and Ella making out, having an intra-marital affair! Aria's parents leave.

Then, while still in the library, Hanna notices some stuff inside the vents, including clothing, bags, cell phones and a fat wad of cash. Hanna posits that this stuff belongs to "A". Hanna then grabs the cash before being chased by a frightening figure in black. Aria and Hanna run for their lives, before, Hanna instinctively sprays her chaser with hairspray. Eventually, Aria and Hanna realize that their pursuer is Caleb, who has sleeping at the school and the one who had triggered the school's alarm system the night before. Hanna returns Caleb's money to him. Caleb even lets the girls in on his foster care situation that has driven him to find alternative places to live.

The next day, in the hallways, Hanna expresses her concern over Caleb living in school. He brushes off her concern and asks her to make good on her deal to up his reputation. So, Hanna helps Caleb scout out the fellow rich kids in school and become acquainted with them through her, in order to raise the profits of his underground business ventures. She introduces him to Bridget Wu in exchange for Caleb listing for Hanna all the places that he is from. The two continue like that, exchanging names for information, as their friendship grows.

During the meet, Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Caleb sit together. When Caleb gets up, Aria and Spencer express their surprise at and disapproval of Hanna's new buddy. Hanna isn't too affected.

After the match, Hanna finds Caleb digging his belongings out from a school trash bin; clearly the custodians found Caleb's stuff and disposed of them. In a friendly gesture, Hanna offers to help Caleb with his living situation; she offers to let him secretly crash in her basement, without her mother knowing. His main fear is that if Hanna's mom knows, she will call social services, landing him in an even worse situation. She hands him an address, and he looks like he is going to think about it.

Then, Aria approaches Hanna about a text from "A" alerting her that Hanna almost got her busted somehow. She is initially prepared to trust her friend before she trusts "A". When Hanna drops the bombshell that she was the one who gave Ella the ticket, Aria is unforgiving, leaving the two at an impasse. Aria doesn't give Hanna a chance to explain about Caleb messing with Ella's car.

At home, Hanna sits on the stairs, trying to reconcile with Aria. Caleb approaches her to ask if it is okay to use the towels in the bathroom after he showers. Apparently, he has decided to take Hanna up on her deal and stay over. Hanna mumbles an unconcerned answer, and Caleb detects she is upset. He prods a little before Hanna confesses that her mistake was not totally cleared by Caleb's helping pull the kill switch from Mrs. Montgomery's car. Her secret role in the endeavor was exposed, and she's afraid Aria will never speak to her again. She doesn't tell Caleb all the details, but he gets the point when he sees her tears. Hanna tells him he can leave her to shower; Caleb rises momentarily, then sits back down, letting her know that it can wait.

Aria is still hurt by Hanna’s betrayal, and so decides to sit apart from Hanna and the other Pretty Little Liars while they meet up in Spencer's room. The girls discuss the strangeness of Melissa's rapid change in life plans. They use a website to decipher the three letters of the Braille message: B-A-D. Aria decides it must be a joke that Toby is playing on them, but Emily doesn't think that he would mess with them at a time like this. Aria then leaves in a huff, completely forgetting their conversation.

The next day, at home, Ashley takes the remaining cash from the Popsicle box in the freezer in order to return it to Mrs. Potter's safe deposit box. Hanna tries to talk Ashley out of it, as Mrs. Potter has no use for it anymore, but Ashley insists that it is the right thing to do. As soon as Hanna hears her mother close the door behind her, she opens the basement door to let Caleb out. She makes him breakfast over conversation, trying to make sure if he wants to go back to the foster home, but soon the door reopens, and Caleb scatters, while Hanna hides his cereal bowl. But, Caleb's hat is still lying exposed on the kitchen counter. When Ashley walks back into the kitchen, she finds Hanna washing the dishes—or more precisely, Caleb's hat, in an attempt to hide it from her mother. But Ashely is unfazed and simply instructs Hanna to wear gloves while she does the dishes.

At school, Hanna gives Caleb back his soggy hat. Aria watches from a distance before determinedly approaching Hanna to forgive her, as she realizes that they’re both contending with a more evil power in "A," who is clearly trying to tear the friends apart. She acknowledges Hanna's attempt to undo her mistake by pulling the kill switch on Ella's car.

Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily sit down for lunch. Spencer expresses her disapproval of Hanna's growing relationship with Caleb, declaring him dark. But, Hanna reminds her friends that they had treated Toby the same way, silencing them.

Ashley agrees to go out with Mr. James Leland (Mrs. Potter's nephew) to find out more about what he wants. While Ashley is preparing for her date in the foyer, Caleb comes over—through the front door, surprising Hanna and disconcerting Mrs. Marin, who immediately forms a negative opinion of her daughter's new friend. In fact, Ashley worries that Hanna is rebounding from Sean in a bad way. When James comes over, Caleb takes the liberty of opening the door and greeting him. Hanna and Caleb are immediately suspicious of James, though for different reasons. Caleb claims architects don't use crappy pens, which Mr. Leland uses to sign some form that Ashley presents him for the bank. Hanna doesn't get good vibes, as she thinks the guy to be too smooth.

The girls shop at a clothing store, where Aria and Hanna explain to the other two what their past quarrel was about. They discuss "A" and Caleb, and Hanna reveals to her friends that Caleb is crashing at her house. The girls express their shock, but stop short when they spot Jenna trying something on in the lingerie section of a department store, overhearing her say to the clerk that her mysterious suitor "loves lace."

Caleb is not surprised to hear that Ashley had not taken Hanna's warnings about Mr. Leland being shady; he is used to parents ignoring their children's opinion. He announces that he did some sleuthing on their behalf and has discovered that Mr. Leland is not who he says he is; James Leland, indeed an architect from Syracuse, died two years prior, making this guy an impostor with a dark motive. Hanna informs Ashley later, but she is loathe to do anything about it, as it might draw attention to herself and the connection she has with the safe deposit box. She is also not too keen on Caleb being involved.

At night, Hanna thanks Caleb for his help that day. She walks Caleb to the basement before an exterminator shows up to take care of the infestation problem in the basement. Clearly, "A" wants Hanna to know that she is aware that Caleb is crashing there, even if her mother isn't.

As if Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily don't have enough drama in their lives, Mr. Fitz decides to put on a school production of the award-winning play The Bad Seed, the story about a girl who wreaks havoc on her small town – eerily echoing our Pretty Little Liars’ own troubles. Aria goes to the tryouts at 4 PM to support Hanna and act opposite her, with no intention of joining the play herself. However, the girls urge Aria to be Ezra‘s stage manager for the production, so that she can spend more time with him. The other girls, in addition to Mona, are interested in getting parts in the play. Jenna enters the scene and offers to compose flute music for the play, letting Mr. Fitz know that she approves of his choice of play, because she oddly finds it "inspiring," and thereby annoying Aria.

The next morning, at the Marin household, Ashley grows increasingly suspicious of their lack of food, as Hanna has been secretly housing foster kid Caleb in their basement. Hanna admits to having Caleb over a couple of times for dinner, but even that bothers Ashley, as she doesn't completely trust Caleb. (Caleb overhears Ashley's words about him.)

Next, Hanna walks into the bathroom to grab something while Caleb is showering. Ashley enters as well, looking for her phone, which she has put in the charger there, prompting Hanna to jump in the shower fully clothed so that her mother won't realize it is Caleb showering, not Hanna. She holds her hand over his mouth so he won't make noise and makes an awkward situation even worse when he catches her sneaking a peek when he turns around.

At play practice, Aria and Ezra prove to have an uncomfortable, awkward working relationship, namely Aria's slipping up by referring to Mr. Fitz as 'Ezra' while seated next to him. All the girls are present, as well as Mona, who raises an eyebrow. Spencer and Hanna have been cast as main characters. Hanna and Mona also catch up at play practice; when Mona sees Caleb spying Hanna, she is inquisitive, and Hanna confides in Mona about her morning shower. Hanna does not make much eye contact with Caleb, as she is too sheepish about seeing him naked. Suddenly, Ian walks into the room, expressing surprise that he's in the wrong room for the varsity team practice. The girls huddle close together and comment on how creepy Ian is.

Spencer flashes back to a college party Alison had snuck them into with fake ID's, probably in an effort to spy on Ian. Ian had been flirting with a particularly tipsy girl and had gone off with her to one of the rooms upstairs. Looking back, the girls wish they had said something to Melissa sooner about Ian.

After school, Hanna sits in her kitchen, making a sandwich while practicing her lines for the play. Caleb walks in and tries to divert her attention, but Hanna is cold towards him, choosing to focus on anything except Caleb. Finally, Hanna walks away, leaving Caleb with her unfinished sandwich. He tries to directly ask her to help, but she refuses.

Back at play practice, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna review their lines and discuss the motives of their characters, no doubt finding parallels to their own lives. They catch sight of Ian hanging around close to where they are standing, prompting Emily to have a flashback to the night of the party. The girl that Ian had left with had suddenly taken a nasty tumble down the stairs in the middle of the party. They had all exchanged looks after her fall, although Ali had been no where in sight, but Ian had been at the top of the stairs. In hindsight, the girls are left to question whether Ian had pushed that girl.

Caleb pulls Hanna aside from play practice to return Jenna's phone (which Spencer had given him) and let her know that he can't hack it. He tries to break Hanna's solid demeanor towards him, directly addressing the fact that they had been in the shower together and that Hanna's behavior has not been the same since.

Mr. Fitz ends practice for the day, leaving Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily alone in the rehearsal room. While packing her costume away in the prop box, Spencer stumbles across a trophy with Ian Thomas' name on it. Spencer twirls it in her fingers, seeing dried blood at the base of the trophy. The trophy is from a tournament in Hilton Head which took place the weekend Ali disappeared. Spencer posits that it is the murder weapon Ian used to kill Alison and decides to hand it over to the police, along with the other Liars.

As they leave the police station, the girls make plans to sleep at Emily's place, except Hanna who needs to go home to make sure Caleb doesn't accidentally scare her mom.

At home, Hanna also gets a chance to try to patch things up - with Caleb. Caleb sees that Hanna is ignoring him and so packs up his things, ready to leave her home. Hanna stops him, but when he brings up her poor treatment of him, she admits that seeing him naked caused her to avoid him. He lets her know that it doesn't mean that she has to "throw down too." It seems that Hanna was afraid of her feelings for Caleb, but isn't anymore. The two kiss for the first time.

The next day at school, some police officers and a detective appear. The detective, Detective Breyer, approaches the Liars and asks for Spencer. In turns out that while failures to turn evidence into the police before were mistakes, in this instance, reporting to the police was the mistake. He lets them know that the trophy was proven to be a fake - there was no golf tournament in Hilton Head on that date, and the blood on it wasn't human; it was from a rat... The girls are then taken to the police precinct for questioning. On their way out from school, the girls get a text from "A," letting them know just who was responsible for the trophy set up. Reflecting again on the night of the frat party, Aria considers the possibility that Ali had been the one to push the girl, and Spencer concurs that it was possible that she had done it in a jealous rage because the girl had been with Ian. Aria vividly recalls that Alison had been nowhere to be found most of the night. Suddenly, the girls look up to see Ian close by, slouching in front of the school entrance, lazily watching them. Chilled, the girls turn away.

The girls realize they've been duped when the bloody trophy lands them in hotter water than expected, with an angry police team more hell-bent than ever to find Alison‘s killer, despite these setbacks. Further complicating matters is Garrett Reynolds, a boy the girls all knew growing up in their neighborhood, who‘s a police officer now and has just been assigned to the case. The girls are being questioned by the police as to why they think Ian is the killer. Each of the girls lets Detective Breyer know about the video footage of Ian with Alison. Spencer suggests that Ian may have been into younger girls, but when asked to back that claim, she pointedly does not mention that she dated him, as she is being interrogated while sitting next to her mother. The girls' parents convene in the hall after the interrogation, believing they are the victims of a "cruel prank." The girls compare notes; none of them mentioned Spencer's fling with Ian.

At home, Hanna is having more trouble hiding Caleb. The latest evidence involves Caleb leaving the toilet seat up, alerting her mother to the fact that a boy has been in the upstairs portion of their house, which is against the rules. She also catches Hanna making breakfast for Caleb and grows suspicious when Hanna tries to pass off the cereal as her own.

Hanna and Caleb come home from school and start kissing passionately. They make their way to the kitchen, where Ashley confronts them. She asks Caleb to leave, but Hanna protests that he just arrived. Ashley contradicts Hanna and shows them Caleb's backpack, which she discovered in the basement. She knows that Hanna‘s been hiding Caleb, as the grocery bill has tripled and the toilet seat has been left up multiple times. Ashley evicts Caleb from her home just as he and Hanna were starting to become romantically involved. Caleb leaves, and Hanna follows slamming the door behind them.

That night, Caleb and Hanna camp out in the Rosewood camping grounds. Caleb is surprised by Hanna deftness at camping, and the two confide in each other about their upbringings. Hanna mentions her past weight problem, and Caleb discusses his experience with foster parents and social workers. After sharing intimate stories, the two share some kisses. Then, Hanna and Caleb take things to the next level before falling asleep in their tent.

The next day, after Hanna comes home, Ashley lets her know that she was about to call the police, worried about Hanna. But Hanna snaps back at her mother, surprised that she doesn't sympathize with Caleb's plight. Realizing that her relationship with Hanna is very compromised, Ashley picks up the phone when Caleb calls Hanna...to invite him to dinner.

Caleb comes over for dinner. Afterwards, he goes to thank Ashley, who lets Caleb know that he is allowed to stay, but warns him not to hurt her daughter. She is a bit rough with him when he thanks her, pointing out that she did it for her daughter, not him, but on a softer note she tells him to call her "Ashley," not "Mrs. Marin."

That night, Hanna and the others receive SOS texts from Spencer, and the three congregate on her front lawn to find out that the Rosewood police have made Spencer a "person of interest" in the murder of Alison DiLaurentis and have begun to stake out her house. The girls are texted this information by "A."

The next day, at the Marins', Caleb makes eggs for breakfast, and Ashley gets used to having a guy in the house. Before heading out to school, Hanna finds what she thinks is a present meant for her in Caleb's bag in the form of a jeweled owl, presumably in commemoration of their first night when they heard owls in the woods.

At school in the cafeteria, Hanna shows the other girls the picture she snuck of the owl before returning it to Caleb's bag. Just then, Aria spots Sean and Paige flirting with each other, as they share a table and jokes in the lunch room. Hanna, oblivious to Paige's questionable sexuality status, is happy for Sean to be moving on.

Later, in the courtyard, Aria and Emily overhear Caleb mysteriously speaking on the phone with someone, telling that person that something cannot happen that night. He keeps referring to "her," and it becomes clear after he mentions that he is living in her house that he means Hanna; the other person seems to be saying negative things, while Caleb is defending her. When he gets off the phone, Aria and Emily hide before Caleb can see them. The two interpret the phone conversation to mean that Caleb is talking to another girl in a romantic way. When they share their suspicions with Hanna at lunch, she is loathe to believe in his dishonesty. However, when Jenna walks into the lunch room wearing the owl around her neck, Hanna is devastated. She tries to text Caleb, but to no avail; he isn't responding.

Spencer then watches Jenna outside, who is wearing her headphones oblivious to those around her. Spencer figures out that the owl is a flash drive, when she sees Jenna insert it into her computer. Hanna tries to reach Caleb for answers, but he is M.I.A. So, she writes him a note, slipping it into his locker. She walks away, then pauses and turns around, then tries to crack the combination, using 2-1-4, and it works. She is furious and hashes it out with Caleb when she returns home from school. He says he never meant to hurt her and told Jenna he couldn't help her anymore once things between him and Hanna started happening. She is not satisfied with this though, and makes him leave.

The next day at school, Aria, Hanna, and Emily walk into the bathroom. When Hanna sees Jenna, she walks up to her and surprise slaps her across the face, to Emily and Aria's shock. At least, she has the decency to bend down and return Jenna's sunglasses to her without making her crawl on the floor.

That night, Hanna breaks down, heartbroken over what Caleb did to her, and Ashley is disheartened. Hanna pretends to be taking a bath, but her mother knows that she is really crying alone in the bathroom.

The next day, Ashley tries to engage Hanna, but she is still bummed out about Caleb. Ashley wants to know why he moved out, but Hanna doesn't reveal anything. Seeing her daughter distraught, Ashley offers to let Hanna stay home from school, but just then Mona shows up. Mona asks if Caleb is permanently gone, and Hanna responds in the affirmative. Mona then takes the blame for Hanna's getting hurt and wishes she had prevented him from getting so close to her friend. Their conversation clues Ashley into some of the details of what ensued.

At school, Hanna approaches Caleb, where he is sitting reading at an outdoor bench. Caleb is hopeful that this means that they are on speaking terms again when Hanna asks to sit next to him, but she just confronts Caleb for playing her and demands to at least know what he was supposed to be looking for. Caleb reveals that Jenna was looking for a key, though Hanna has no clue why or to what. Caleb explains that it was related to Alison. Caleb then asks Hanna why Jenna is so interested, but Hanna cuts him off, not allowing him to be the one asking questions. After she exhausts everything that Caleb knows, he brings up their relationship. Hanna nods for a moment, before shrugging and strutting away.

In Emily's room, the girls congregate to discuss what Jenna may have been looking for. They also discuss the creep factor in Caleb rifling through Hanna's belongings, invading her privacy. But, Aria comes to Caleb's defense, knowing how tempting it is sometimes to go through somebody else's information, such as her boyfriend's web page and find out about a fiancee. Emily suggests coming clean to Ezra about it, but Hanna tries to convince Aria to create a page of her own posing as one of Jackie's past classmates in order to sneakily find out more about the status of her involvement with Ezra. Later, Hanna coaches Aria how to set up a fake profile and get Jackie to accept her friend request.

Hanna is at the festival, setting up a booth. When she sees Caleb, she ducks into another tent, wishing to avoid her heart breaker. Caleb commissions Mona, who treats him unpleasantly, to deliver the letter to Hanna. Unfortunately, Mona intervenes by promising to deliver it, but instead tears it up, drops it in the trash can, and dumps a drink on it. (The last line on the letter reads, "I love you Hanna.")

At the Founder's Day Festival, Ashley approaches Hanna to ask whether she's seen Caleb, but Hanna hasn't seen him. Ashley lets her know that Caleb came over to say goodbye because he is leaving Rosewood.

Later, Hanna sees Caleb boarding the bus out of Rosewood, all the while thinking he is a complete jerk to not even bother to say goodbye to her. They make eye contact, but she is too hurt to speak to him.

Following her instinct, Emily examines a snow globe she had received from Alison, and at the bottom, she finds a key with numbers printed on it. There is also a tag attached, with the name of a storage place. Emily, Aria and Hanna track down the place, and there, they uncover a flash drive contained in a lunch box, stored in a garage that Alison had planted! The flash drive contains secret videos, mostly of the girls in intimate moments; Alison somehow knew that they were being spied on while she was alive. There is footage of July 4, moments before "The Jenna Thing," when Ali had been sure someone was spying on them in Emily's room.

There is even some footage of Jenna, and the girls begin to understand what Jenna was seeking in enlisting Caleb to search Hanna's hard drive—in the footage, she is seducing and blackmailing Toby. Spencer comes up with the idea of asking Jenna what she knows, before taking the information to the police to incriminate Ian. The other Liars aren't so sure; they don't think they can trust Jenna at all, but Spencer is adamant.

The next day, Ashley tries to snap Hanna out of moping over Caleb. She is surprised to hear that Caleb never delivered the letter he had planned to give her the day before.

After class, Hanna asks Mona whether Caleb had tried to give her anything at the Founder's Day Festival. Mona totally lies, seemingly trying to protect Hanna's well-being. Lucas overhears their conversation, and afterwards, makes a face at Hanna. He is still mad at her for treating him poorly at the dance-a-thon.

In the school music room, the Little Liars confront Jenna about the incriminating video they found of her and Toby. Jenna tells her story, how Alison had visited her at the hospital on the day that she disappeared and had threatened Jenna never to reveal the truth about "The Jenna Thing" or face having her inappropriate relationship exposed. Alison had played footage of her seducing Toby and used it as blackmail. Before she left Jenna, Alison had warned her never to return to Rosewood, or she would bury her. Jenna asks what the girls are going to do with the video. They assure her they’ll keep it safe – but she won’t be getting it. Jenna seems to be telling the truth, though, when she discloses what Ali said to her at the hospital, and they believe her, given how it explains Jenna's seemingly strange speech at the memorial dedication.

At lunch, Spencer presents the other Liars with an anonymous cell phone that they can use to anonymously text Ian. Hanna texts him a blackmail message, demanding $10,000 in exchange for the videos. While they plot, they spot Ian standing by the snack machine in the cafeteria. When Ian gets the text, he immediately leaves the cafeteria to take care of it. They set a place for Ian to meet, just before Mona swings by to sit with them. However, as soon as she arrives, the girls all split, leaving Mona by herself with her lunch tray.

At the meeting point, the girls (sans Spencer) get a text from "A," warning them to prepare, though the girls aren't sure for what. Emily takes Garrett up on his offer for help and confides in him about the Ian situation. He shows up in his personal car, wearing civilian clothes. Ian fails to show. Instead, a messenger boy with a sack of cash goes in his place, and Officer Garrett corners him. He turns the messenger away without telling the girls what he has done, though the girls have already caught sight of the messenger.

As they get into the car to join Spencer, Emily gets a call from Spencer. They are able to hear her entire fight with Ian at the church, including his entire plan for staging Spencer's suicide. Knowing how much danger she’s in, they rush to save her and dial 911. As they rush to the church, they see that she is physically okay, but very shaken, whereas Ian is dangling motionlessly, entangled in the church bell's ropes.

Later, the girls walk out of the church together, but are stopped when Officer Barry Maple calls them back to ask if their story is a joke. He can see the confusion on their faces, so he motions the girls to follow him into the church. Inside, the see that the bell tower is indeed empty, and Ian’s body is nowhere to be found. Much of the town emerges to see what the commotion is about, and Rosewood is left to wonder just how much truth the girls have been telling. Meanwhile, the girls all receive simultaneous messages, as "A" assures the girls that this is far from over….

Officer Garrett Reynolds takes the girls in his cop car to the police station, but shadily stops at an undisclosed location on the way to "straighten the girls’ stories out." He conveniently orders them to remove his participation from the retelling and not to mention blackmailing Ian at all. He claims that he is hiding the money the messenger brought and he won't be giving them any trouble. Most importantly, he asks them to keep the videos a secret. The next day, the girls chill out in Spencer’s room to review the events of the night. They are confused about "A’s" motives in saving Spencer’s life. They go downstairs to make coffee and find all of their parents standing in Spencer’s kitchen. The parents seem skeptical about the girls’ story. They call Spencer’s accusations an "obsession to pin Alison’s death on Ian." The girls are completely defensive, and their parents insist on them seeking therapy.
 * -|Season 2=

In the school hallways, a few girls gossip about Hanna, while practically standing next to her. But, Mona comes to the rescue and disses the girls for their pathetic gossip mongering. In the therapist's office, Hanna walks in late, hoping to have missed the whole appointment, but to her annoyance, the girls have "politely" waited for her. When they finally do get to talking, they speak minimally. Aria is the most tempted to confide in the inviting Dr. Sullivan, especially about "that thing," but their cellphones go off, scaring them with reminders of what "A" might do if they tell. The session ends with Dr. Sullivan remaining completely in the dark.

Later that day, Hanna returns home with shopping bags full of her day’s dealings. She rambles on about the sales until she catches sight of Caleb, seated quietly in her kitchen beside her mother. But, Hanna isn’t thrilled, and she treats Caleb coldly, even when he makes eyes at her. She learns that Caleb tried to give her a letter (via Mona) and say goodbye. He has come to apologize, but Hanna does not forgive him. He says, "I love you," but her mind is made up. When he leaves, she cries.

Hanna goes to the Grille, expresses her hurt to Mona for lying to her about Caleb and the letter. Mona tries to explain why she did it, but Hanna is not interested. Just then, Noel arrives to bestow a kiss on Mona. Apparently, they are dating now. Frustrated, Hanna walks away. The next day, Aria informs the crew about A's new fiasco—Ezra's key is missing key from under the doormat, and they consider "A’s" compulsively violent tendencies and violation of their personal space. They bring up Dr. Sullivan, who is sworn to confidentiality, and Emily and Aria are the loudest proponents in favor of cluing her in on their secrets. Spencer agrees, and even Hanna, the most unwilling to see a shrink, is in, as she approves of Dr. Sullivan’s fashion sense—a clear signal to Hanna about her character. At Dr. Sullivan’s the girls are about to tell all. Emily takes out her computer to show Anne the videos taken of them through the window, but decide to explain the situation first. Aria begins to speak, but is cut off by Spencer who catches sight of Ezra’s Hollis diploma on the wall, a subtle hint that "A" is privy to everything they say. They had scheduled the appointment last-minute, yet they suddenly cancel, leaving Dr. Sullivan completely baffled and frustrated with the lack of communication. We later find out she believes that the girls are not benefiting from therapy by coming as a group and so recommends to their parents to have them separate for a while, both during therapy and in general. The girls are all devastated as their parents inform them one by one.

Later, Spencer alerts the girls, who must sneak out of their homes to rendezvous in the middle of the night. They meet in an abandoned greenhouse, where Spencer tells them about the texts Melissa had received—It's not safe yet. I can't tell you. They discuss the possibility of Ian being alive and texting Melissa. They test the texter to see if he/she knows the name Ian and Melissa agreed upon for their unborn child. The texter answers correctly. The girls are spooked, but is the hooded figure watching overhead messing with them? Spencer did utter the name out loud BEFORE said texter gave the reply.

They discuss the possibility of Ian being alive and how to return Melissa's phone before she detects it missing. They hear rustling around them, the door shuts, and rocks are dropped onto the ceiling from above. It seems clear that someone is standing atop the greenhouse, observing their conversation, unbeknownst to the Pretty Little Liars. Spooked from the sound effects, the girls flee.

On their way home, they pass the DiLaurentis house, where Jason is standing on the curb, disposing the rest of the Ali memorial paraphernalia that Maya's family apparently didn't have the heart to get rid of. The girls are surprised to see him back in Rosewood and back in his old house.

The next day, during lunch, the girls stand on line in the cafeteria together, trying to discreetly catch up on each other's news. Hanna then plops her tray down at the same table where Aria is sitting, but Spencer protests, reminding her of their forced separation. Hanna is defiant, thinking this will only make them look more guilty and further arguing that they should stick together amidst all the confusion, but in the end, they opt to sit at different tables. Just then, Mona motions for Hanna to sit besides her at her lunch table, but Hanna leaves annoyed. With the girls all at separate tables, "A" sends the girls a text, mocking them for looking so lonely. Even after their therapist instructs them to stop socializing together, our girls continue to talk to each other because there’s just so much to discuss!

At home, Tom has returned to Rosewood, Hanna has to contend with both her parents trying to convince her to do something she doesn't want to do. Tom warms to the therapist idea, and Ashley has a 'why not' attitude, but Hanna has other ideas. She is angriest about the not seeing her friends aspect and balks when her father suggests that the decision can be 'adjusted' in the future. She finds her father's involvement hypocritical, when he has had such little interaction with his daughter in the first place. As a result, her father announces that he will be sticking around Rosewood for a while. Hanna is not impressed and walks away, rebuffing her father's attempt to endear his daughter.

Hanna ignores Mona's phone messages as she does the dishes. Her father lightly questions her about it, but she is mostly unresponsive. He apologizes for Hanna's not being able to see her friends, but calls it the right thing to do. Hanna then points out that she only sees him when she is in trouble, not ready for her father's return to her good graces. She accuses him of abandoning her and listens placidly as he apologizes.

Next, Hanna goes to the Grille, where Mona is sitting alone, ready to forgive her for hiding the letter. Mona is very pleased to have her friend back. They agree to disagree on each other's love interests (Noel and Caleb), deciding to avoid that subject altogether, as their relationship heals.

At school, the girls find ways to secretly meet by hiding in the bathroom stalls until the bathroom is empty. While they discuss the latest news, including the possibility that Melissa is hiding Ian, Hanna gives out hand cream, which she reveals that she pilfered from the mall. The girls are appalled to hear that Hanna is still shoplifting, but Hanna wants out anyway because shoplifiting with Mona is boring. When someone enters, they split as if being there all together is a coincidence.

Later, Hanna is eating when she sees Lucas, and she asks him to sit down with her. He reveals allowing Caleb at his house.

At home, Hanna finds it surprising that Ashley is pandering to Tom's food preferences in preparation for his return to their home in Rosewood. Ashley tries to convince her daughter to give her father another chance, even though he's made mistakes. Later at home, Tom tells his daughter about some of the differences that he is having with his fiancée, though Hanna isn't totally interested. She also doesn't seem upset to hear that his father is having problems with Isabel. When Hanna later sees that her father and her mother are getting along well together again, she also sees a text on her father's cell phone from Isabel apologizing for something. Hanna secretly deletes the message in hopes of giving her parents a second chance with each other.

Hanna also struggles to find activities outside her friends (besides Mona and shoplifting for a hobby together), and so decides to help Lucas with the yearbook. At first, Lucas wonders why Hanna is being so nice to him, worried that she has ulterior motives—but Hanna insists that people can change. She even gets a pretty girl named Danielle that Lucas is so obviously crushing on to agree to a date with Lucas. Hanna convinces Danielle that she is still stuck on Lucas in order to make him look good. Lucas is still suspicious and very nervous about Hanna's actions, but is eventually grateful to her.

Later, the Little Liars spy on Melissa. As soon as Melissa leaves the house, the secretly follow her, hiding behind the bushes in the yard. Someone pulls up late at night with his car. The girls are shocked when they realize the driver getting out of the car is Wren! He hands Melissa a closed shopping bag; Spencer wisely guesses it contains pain killers for Ian.

The next day, Aria, Hanna and Emily are waiting for Spencer in a skeevy parking lot next to a dumpster, discussing the oddness of Wren and Melissa's rendezvous the night before. Spencer comes out of a pawn shop and reports the bad news - she basically stole her sister's wedding ring. Just then, they look up to see a creepy sign for an optometrist, with eyes bearing down on them, as if someone is watching them, and they know someone always is.... Just then, they get a text from "A" cluing them into who has the ring.

At Hanna's home, Hanna's mom requires that Hanna has a solo session with the therapist, to Hanna's chagrin of course. At school, Lucas is a total mess; he is beyond nervous about his upcoming date with Danielle. He is persuaded to call it off, but Hanna pushes him not to. Lucas eventually gets Hanna to come along with Caleb, to make it a double date.

At lunch time, Caleb follows Hanna to try and convince her to agree to the double date with Lucas and Danielle. Hanna, still disgruntled by Caleb, refuses, but then gives in her Lucas' sake, letting Caleb know that she is only doing it for Lucas.

At the therapist's office, Hanna is impatient and annoyed. She barely speaks to the therapist, avoids opening up to her, and leaves as soon as time is up, avoiding the therapist's request for Hanna to role play what she is feeling as if Alison were sitting there with them.

At Hanna's place, Caleb, Danielle and Lucas have begun their evening. Danielle isn't enjoying the situation and suspects Hanna of still being in love with Lucas, being that she did sell Lucas on Danielle by claiming that she was still into him. She sees Hanna as ruining their date by walking over so frequently and constantly looking Lucas' way, misinterpreting Hanna's intention to see that Lucas shows Danielle a properly good time.

Lucas lets Hanna in on why Danielle is not enjoying their date, so to convince Danielle that she is not interested in dating Lucas, Hanna tells Caleb to put his arm around her. Seeing them together calms Danielle's suspicions and she reaches for Lucas' hand.

The next day, at the therapist's office, Hanna tells Dr. Sullivan her true feelings about Alison, in hopes of letting go. Her role playing makes it seem that Alison is really there, taunting Hanna for her feelings. She calls Alison her best friend, but also the worst enemy she ever had. Alison is condescending, but Hanna doesn't allow the mental torture to continue. In her head, Alison says Hanna wouldn't have her friends had Ali not given them to her and that Hanna can't live without her. But, mentally, Hanna lets the ghost know that she is over her, that she won't let her into her life anymore, and that she is ready to move on. Music sets in, as if Hanna has broken a spell...

At night, Just as Hanna is leaving home to join the others to follow Melissa, her mom lets Hanna in on what happened to Dr. Sullivan's office, afraid because her daughter was the last person in the office before everything went down. She asks Hanna what they discussed, but Hanna is reluctant; the point of confiding in the therapist is that it was confidential. But, Hanna's mom is not so sure... The police could blame Hanna for the incident. Hanna leaves in a huff, frustrated by all the false accusations that never stop flying around. She goes to find "answers."

In the car on their way to find Ian, the girls discuss how screwed they are that they can't call the police, since that only ever makes them suspicious. Emily wants to film this, so as to prove their honesty later on. From inside an old barn that Melissa led Wren to, they hear Melissa let out a gut-wrenching scream and then uncontrollable sobs. They run in and Spencer goes to hold her, for there on the floor of the barn lies Ian with dried blood around the wound on his head. He is holding a gun, and beside him lies a letter of confession that he killed Alison. Spencer and Wren exchange horrified looks and the girls stare at the awful site before them.

At school, the girls discuss Ian's death and the plausibility of him wanting to kill himself. The Liars are ready to move on with their lives, but Emily is stuck on the details not adding up to logical sense. She decides to investigate independently. Just as the girls are talking, Garrett Reynolds appears, and based on the police report, he lets the girls know that Ian was dead for about a week. That means that the texts sent to Melissa were not from Ian.

Caleb visits Hanna's home to see how she is after the traumatic incident. Hanna is still snappy towards Caleb, but she softens seeing that Caleb is sincere. Ashley returns home frazzled that Hanna hasn't answered her phone, revealing how much stress Alison's death has placed on her, leading her to worry for her daughter's safety every time she leaves the house.

At school, Hanna thanks Caleb for coming over. She is also concerned about his foster mother's treatment of him, getting money while treating Caleb like garbage when she does see him and ignoring him the rest of the time. Caleb is touched, but not interested in trying to change anything, believing it hopeless. But, Hanna is outraged, especially when she later sees his mother at school blaming Caleb for making her look bad, when she is the one who doesn't know anything about her foster son's well being. Caleb retorts back, but does nothing else. So, later, Hanna takes matters into her own hands and threatens Janet, Caleb's foster mom, to pay up or face a lawsuit filed by her (pretend lawyer) mom.

Caleb later visits Hanna to thank her, revealing that Janet took the threats seriously and indeed, paid up. Hanna's heart is officially melted and she kisses Caleb before he leaves to hang out with Lucas.

Hanna talks with her mother about the upcoming funeral, experimenting with what to wear in preparation. She has a conversation with her mother about Ashley's father's funeral, and it revealed that although Ashley paid for it, she never attended and does not regret that decision.

The girls are summoned to another creepy midnight outing when Emily gets a message instructing her to go the cemetery to visit a plot. The Liars join Emily, despite her being vague about why they are there, and they end up at Alison's grave. Then, the wall across from the lights up. A projector is showing the footage of Alison with Ian the night she died, the footage they thought was lost. This time, after falling to the floor, Alison gets up, giggling. Ian puts on his jacket, gives her a kiss, then turns to walk away.

The girls are now led to believe that Ian did not kill Alison, and, just as Emily suspected, Ian's suicide was faked.

On the eve of the Rosewood Charity Fashion Show, Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer are folding show programs on Emily's bed, trying to help Spencer make up for the fact that she has missed a bunch of fashion show committee meetings. They discuss their love lives, and the fact that Hanna has recently kissed Caleb, though she refuses to call him her boyfriend.

Back at the Marin residence, Tom and Ashley are cooking a farewell dinner but Hanna is snappy with her father, who plans to leave Rosewood tomorrow. She thinks it typical of him to leave.

In the afternoon, the Liars meet with Jessica DiLaurentis for lunch, despite their awkward reservations. The subject shifts to Jason and his moving back in, and Jessica reveals that she doesn't think of the house in Rosewood as their family's anymore, but as Jason is paying for the house himself, she has little choice but to respect her son's decision. She then presents the girls with presents, four high fashion dresses. However, the girls are uneasy, as they remember Alison having picked them out and trying them on in a flashback. But, that is precisely why Jessica asks the girls to model those dresses in the fashion show; she wants them to realize Ali’s dream and pay tribute to her.

When the girls have a chance to think it over amongst themselves, Hanna is first to express the creepy factor, but out of sympathy for Jessica, they consent. They also discuss Jason now that they are alone, and only Aria does not think that Jason is being freaky. She sticks up for him saying he's coping with Ali's death the best he can.

Back at the Marin's, a carefree Hanna is in the kitchen dancing to her iPod. When she catches sight of her dad, she yells at him for scaring her. She is cold towards him, mentioning that he was supposed to leave (although he has come with Thai take-out, trying to win Hanna over). He replies that he has decided to stay so that he won't be again leaving while she’s mad. He adds that he would like to stay for the fashion show. But, Hanna doesn't accept this explanation and accuses him of still loving her mom and staying for that reason, not believing he would stay for her alone. He denies it, so she tunes him out. After Tom leaves the kitchen, Hanna unceremoniously throws the Thai takeout in the trash.

At the rehearsal before the show, Hanna asks if anyone has a spare ticket for her dad. It also becomes clear that Hanna has not invited Caleb to come, not fully considering him her boyfriend again.

On the day of the fashion show, Hanna leaves the dressing room in search of champagne, while Aria questions whether cat walking tipsy is a good idea.

Just then, Tom arrives on the floor for cocktails, and Ashley approaches Tom to reassure him that the distance between him and his daughter is due to complications with Hanna at this time, not due to any fault of his. But Tom disagrees and takes the blame for the distance between them. He compliments Ashley on her dress and apologizes for not complimenting her enough while they were together. He then asks her to dance. Hanna passes by at this auspicious moment, and her suspicions about why her father has stayed are confirmed.

Hanna returns to the dressing room sans champagne. The Liars then reveal to Hanna that Caleb has come to the show, dressed to impress, despite not being invited, and they push Hanna to officially get back together with Caleb.

The fashion show starts, and the outfits do not disappoint. Then the tribute to Alison begins, with her image prominent on the runway screen and the girls walking the runway in her dresses. Suddenly, the image changes so as to make Alison look like the devil, with fire around and peeling black eyes. The screen flashes "the bitch is dead," and the music changes from sentimental to hellish. The audience and the models are shocked and dismayed. Horrified, Jessica leaves her seat and runs off. Spencer runs to Noel to make him turn it off, but he claims he can't. She unplugs all the wires around his equipment until the images and sound effects stop. Immediately after the show, the girls try to comfort Jessica, but she doesn't return their calls, too disturbed for words.

Hanna then goes to talk to Caleb and finally thanks him for coming. He asks to walk her home, and she asks him to wait, basically agreeing to the romantic possibility between them. "A" then projects a note on the screen: "My Dresses. My Game. My Rules."

At the Marin's, Hanna cuts off her dad's congratulations by again bringing up the fact that he was expected elsewhere, this time supposed to be in his hotel. He lets Hanna know that he agrees with her assessment, although he previously denied it: he still has feelings for Ashley. He admits he wants to stay for her and not pretend it's for Hanna. At this Hanna finally softens, smiles, and bids him farewell for the night.

The next day, the Pretty Little Liars stand in the kitchen talking. Apparently, a pipe has broken in the guest bedroom, so Emily and Hanna will be sharing a room now that Emily is set to move in. The subject changes to surmising about who would have done such a thing at the fashion show. They realize "A's" actions are getting bolder and it worries them. They want to forget about "A," but it isn't so easy. Just then, a special delivery from "A" arrives - a gift basket, letting Emily and Hanna know how easy it will be to mess with them under the same roof.

Emily moves into the Marin household and to express her gratitude, after her morning run, makes a sit-down breakfast for Hanna and her mother. She sets the table and puts out real napkins and pays attention to details like separating out the egg yolks from the egg whites. Hanna and Ashley try to assure Emily that she is now a part of their family and doesn't need to act like a guest. But the transition isn't so natural for Emily.

Hanna and Emily then go to school together. Hanna meets up with Caleb; who has just been stiffed by someone whose phone he was commissioned to "pimp out." Caleb acts nonchalant about his continued shady "business" dealings, but Hanna feels uneasy. He brushes it off, and she gives up for now.

That night, Hanna is sitting on her bed listening to music with her headphones, while Emily sits in the corner. Both are doing school work, but Emily can't concentrate when Hanna starts singing loudly along to the music in her ears. The two new roommates seem to be clashing over differences already. So, Hanna takes off her headphones when Emily complains, and Emily brings up Caleb's business deals. Hanna is annoyed at the question and compares Emily to Dr. Sullivan. Just like Mike, Hanna puts her headphones on to tune the other out.

Frustrated with not being able to study at Hanna's, Emily leaves for the library to study. Caleb then comes over, and the two make use of the fact that Ashley is out with her father. The two go to Hanna's room, where they talk again about Caleb's way of making money. Hanna is disapproving, but then changes the subject. Caleb voluntarily changes it back and lets Hanna know that he used to work for hustlers who stole cars as a way of life. He used to be their hacker, tapping into computer records for phone numbers and other information. He pulled out, afraid of the prospect of getting arrested, knowing that it was only a matter of time. His employers were angered, but couldn't deal with Caleb, as he ran away first. Hanna is touched that Caleb has made another confession to her, a secret that he has never told anyone else.

After Caleb leaves, Hanna revels in the fact that Caleb has entrusted her with his deep, dark secret. She tells Emily that Caleb has confided something in her that he has never told anyone else, but Emily is content with listening to Hanna without knowing the actual details of the case; she has no desire for more secrets, after all. But that wish is not to be honored; suddenly, the two girls hear the door open, along with whispering at the bottom of the stairs. They peep their heads out to look - and spy Ashley and Tom, giggling before kissing. The two make their way up the stairs, and Emily and Hanna duck their heads back in before Hanna's parents realize that they were being watched. Ashley warns Tom to tiptoe and lower his voice so that they can make it upstairs undetected—towards Ashley's bedroom!

Later that night, Aria and Hanna talk with Spencer in her car in front of Emily's house, and then, Emily joins them. Suddenly Garrett parks in front of the Cavanaugh house, which is across the street from his parents' house. He could go either way, but he chooses Jenna's house. Toby is out on an errand picking up his parents from the airport. The girls trod closer to take a better look, when the light flicks on, revealing Jenna, who slowly strips to reveal the same black negligee the girls had seen her trying on in the store! Garrett nears her, starts to caress her shoulders, then starts kissing her slowly, and Jenna kisses him back.

The next morning, Hanna enters the kitchen to find Emily doing sit-ups. They both reveal that they haven't slept since seeing what they saw. Emily then joins Hanna for breakfast, not in the best of moods. Her muscles are still sore, so she has Hanna pass her the medical cream that she bought the day before. Apparently, she's used half the tube in less than 24 hours. Hanna thinks Emily is being way too intense for a swim meet. Emily explains that she is concerned about the Danby scout, who is supposed to be speculating her meet today. She hopes she can make the Danby lie less untrue.

Just then, Tom enters, and Hanna plays dumb, putting on a surprise face. He starts making excuses, but Hanna makes a "yeah, right" face. Then Ashley enters, expressing her surprise at seeing Tom awake. She then catches sight of a pile of mail and asks about it. Emily says it was on the doormat when she came back last night. Ashley hands Hanna an envelope addressed to her, and Hanna reluctantly admits to her mother that it is from Isabel. She pointedly uses it as a coaster for her coffee instead of opening it. But, Ashley wants to know what her competition is writing her daughter and tears the envelope to expose Tom and Isabel's "Save the Date." Curtly, she informs Tom that he is getting married in six weeks. It's all awkward turtles after that.

On their way into school, Emily and Hanna discuss Emily's upcoming meet. They then catch sight of Caleb, conducting another shady business deal in the front yard of the school. Hanna walks towards him, and on her way, sees a man in a black sports car writing on a file with glossy pictures of Caleb attached to it. (Was that who was watching them the previous week?) Alarmed, Hanna tries to discreetly warn Caleb by suggesting conducting business out in the wide open may not be the best idea, but he rebuts her idea, refusing to work in a lowly part-time job at a fast-food establishment. She sighs as the stubborn boy walks away and the car speeds off.

Spencer and Hanna visit the hospital to see Emily, the latter of whom is none too happy to be back in Rosewood Community so soon. She dismisses a call from Caleb, making Spencer raise an eyebrow. Hanna confesses her fear that an undercover cop is following her boyfriend. Spencer expects her best friend to say that she alerted her boyfriend to this fact, but she doesn't, and Spencer is shocked. She makes a strong argument for when she warns that Hanna could lose him either way.

Then, Hanna rides by in her car and grabs Caleb off the sidewalk, while dressed as 1930's movie starlet with headscarf and glamorous sunglasses. She drives away from the man in the black sports car, who gets out of the car to take a better look as she speeds off.

Hanna takes Caleb to Spencer's family's log cabin, where they crash to avoid the man following him. They light a fire and remove the furniture slips to cozy up. Caleb says that he won't hide from him, while Hanna is worried that he is going to skip town, but Caleb insists that he is staying in Rosewood. They make out.

At the Marin's, Ashley cleans out the fridge of all the food items she bought her father. Hanna reveals that she knows everything about her father's past romance, so she can openly argue with her mother to give her father another chance. But, Ashley insists that it is the right thing; Tom is about to marry Isabel, and now he is sleeping with another woman. She feels like their situations have been completely reversed. Frustrated with her mother's conclusion, Hanna leaves.

Hanna goes to the black stake out sports car to let stalker driver know that there are people in town who love Caleb and will protect him. She tells him to get lost and leave her boyfriend alone.

The next day, at the morgue, Emily and Hanna don the familiar candy-striper outfits, while keeping watch for Spencer, who is inside hoping to find the missing page of Alison’s coroner’s report. Spencer returns empty-handed. The page is still gone, and she even tried the computer system, but it is password protected. Her suspicions of Jason are worsened. Just then, the elevator door opens to reveal Jenna, being led by a nurse. She comments about how she can’t wait to remove some bandages, and go to Cape May, where she hopes to see the ocean again. The girls stare after smiling Jenna, who hasn’t made note of the silent by standing girls.

At school, Hanna plops her tray down next to the other Pretty Little Liars - not far from where Jenna is sitting. Spencer fills the girls in on what Toby has let her in on since their discovery at the hospital - that Jenna is a candidate for prosthetic cornea transplant, which means there is a hope that she will see again.

That night, Hanna catches sight of the guy staking out Caleb talking to him. It turns out that the man is a private investigator hired by Caleb’s biological mother to track him down.

Hanna and Caleb check out Caleb’s mother’s, Claudia Dawson, online profile. They learn that she has two children, James and Clay, and lives in a very upscale neighborhood in California called Montecito. Caleb is vague about whether he plans to call her and leaves to pick up pizza instead of stay and chat.

At the playground, Hanna locates Caleb, who has failed to deliver the pizza hours ago. He finally opens up to Hanna about his feelings. Hanna wisely suggests that he at least call his mother in order to find out what happened; he can always decide never to call her again, or he can start a relationship with her. He’s wanted to find out this information for the past twelve years.

At night, Caleb enters the Marin’s foyer to fill Hanna in on the conversation he just had with his mother. He shares with her how his mother said that his voice sounds like his father’s and how she invited him to California for a reunion. Hanna is taking everything in when Caleb reveals that he is planning to fly to California that night; after waiting twelve years, he doesn’t want to wait a moment longer. Hanna feels dejected that Caleb will be leaving, but is overall happy for him. They will be conducting a long distance relationship until he returns, which date is unsettled. They share kisses and "I love you's" before Caleb leaves Rosewood to head for the airport. Hanna closes the door and starts to cry over losing Caleb for the second time.

With Caleb’s complicated family relationship in view, Hanna has new perspective on her own family matters. She finally picks up the phone to call her father and agree to partake in his wedding plans.

The next day, Ashley is in the kitchen when Hanna comes down for breakfast. Emily had left earlier that morning, apparently to watch swim practice, but not participate. The two comment on how high-strung she's been, so Ashley digs up a gift certificate for a free massage for Hanna to give to Emily. Hanna expresses benign jealousy, but agrees with her mother that Emily needs it. Ashley also finds a letter from Tom expressing his appreciation of Hanna agreeing to attend his wedding. Hanna shrugs it off, but Ashley assures her that she will happy if Hanna is happy for her father. Ashley then realizes that Hanna is late for school, but Hanna explains she isn't going, as the college fair is that day, and attendance is optional. Ashley gives Hanna a look, and Hanna promises to go, but whether she means it is up for interpretation.

Hanna and Emily pass through the hallways to Emily's locker. Hanna gives her the body massage certificate before leaving school to join Mona in trying on her bridesmaid dress.

At the bridal shop, Hanna tries on a brown gown, and Mona expresses her contempt for the garment. Hanna is annoyed, but intent on giving Isabel a chance. Mona calls her and her daughter hillbillies. Just then, Kate walks in with a matching brown gown. But Mona changes her tune about Kate when she sees how stylishly she is dressed. Hanna makes a joke, and Kate gives a half laugh. She then invites them along for lunch with her older cousins, and Mona accepts while Hanna refuses. Kate only seems to pick up on Mona's response though, and the three make plans for later. Hanna fumes, but Mona points out that Hanna did say she wanted to give her future step family a chance, silencing Hanna.

So, they go to the West Maple Riding Club, where riding horses are being led. Apparently, Mona's and Hanna's lunch plans fell through once Mona had falsely mentioned that she had attended equestrian camp. Kate had invited them to go riding, and the two are now standing, suited in riding gear. Kate and two of her friends arrive, leading horses. She asks Hanna and Mona to pass her friends their helmets, which read "Elizabeth" and "Margaux." The former goes by Bitsy, and Hanna cluelessly pronounces the "x" at the end of the latter's name, while Mona flashes her language skills, conversing momentarily with Margaux in French. Hanna reveals more ignorance when Kate asks her a question, and Mona saves the day, laughing as if Hanna intended her words as a joke. They all mount their horses, and only Hanna struggles. Kate piteously asks if Hanna would like to turn back, but Mona quickly assures her that they will be fine and that she will help Hanna learn the ropes. She suggests that the other three head out first, while they trail behind.

Next, Mona and Hanna are walking through some random woods, their faces stained with dirt. Apparently, Hanna's horse bit her ankle, and the girls managed to lose Kate's horses. Hanna gets Mona to admit that summer spent at equestrian camp never happened. Hanna snaps at Mona, accusing her of befriending Kate for selfish reasons, and Mona counters that Hanna has been bad-tempered ever since Caleb left.

Mona and Hanna finally get a chance to sit down. Hanna apologizes to Mona for snapping earlier and expresses her frustration with having tried hard to make a good impression and befriend Kate and her friends. Mona tries to comfort her, but Hanna rails on about how she felt that Kate and her friends were giving her dirty looks and assuming she was clueless. When Mona suggests that Hanna hadn't tried hard enough, she recoils, calling Isabel, "Isahell, the skank" and Kate and her friends, bitches who can go to hell. Suddenly, Mona catches the sound of a gasp, and realizes that everything Hanna is saying is being amplified over a loud speaker attached to the building they are in. Mona alerts Hanna to what's happened and picks up her riding hat, which had clearly tripped the microphone switch when she set it down moments before. Hanna rushes outside to apologize, but Kate walks off miffed, her lackeys at her heels.

At home, Hanna grabs for a chocolate pudding. Ashley steps in, and Hanna nervously asks her if Tom called. Ashley answers no and asks how the college fair was. Hanna reveals that she left school early to try on a dress, but only reveals that it wasn't a great fit, not disclosing the rest of the day's failed events. Suddenly, the phone rings, and Tom tells Ashley something that Hanna cannot hear, which makes Ashley respond, "No, I didn't know that." Hanna thinks she's in trouble, but is surprised when Ashley chirpily hands her the phone, telling her it is from Kate. Out of her mother's earshot, Hanna begins by thanking Kate, but the latter turns sinister and creepily warns Hanna that she will break her like a horse.

The next day, early in the morning, Emily leaves Hanna's room to get into her car and leave, waking Hanna. When Hanna calls Emily, she discovers Em left her phone in her bag. The Liars gather in Hanna's room and discuss where Emily could have gone. Looking through Emily's phone, Spencer finds a picture of Ezra and Aria kissing sent by "A," along with the caption "Clue Ella in, and I'll let you out."

Emily goes to Dr. Sullivan's office and surprisingly, the three other Liars are there waiting for her. As the girls talk about how they are being threatened, Dr. Sullivan can't help but ask who is threatening them. The Liars decide to tell her about "A." Emily tells Dr. Sullivan that the threats began even before Alison’s funeral. At first they thought it was Alison, but then they found her body. They also mention that "A" is an expert at making other people look guilty. They have clues about who he/she/they might be, but they’ve been wrong before. Dr. Sullivan, in turn, is astounded that the girls have not told anybody else about "A" and that she is only person they have ever told.

At school, the Liars debate whether or not they should have mentioned Jenna in their talk with Dr. Sullivan. Hanna then changes the subject by asking Spencer if she's brought the horse books. Hanna is gifting these to her new stepsister, Kate. Aria finds it weird that Hanna is being so nice to her mean stepsister, but Hanna insists she's doing this for her dad. The topic shifts back to Jenna when the Liars see her talking on the phone. Emily thinks it was Jenna who sent the Ezria picture. Just then, Hanna's grandma comes over and says hello to the girls. She's in town early for the rehearsal dinner the next night.

At the Marin's, Hanna flirts with Caleb on the phone, who seems to be enjoying California and his new family. Hanna gets off the phone to face Regina, who bluntly tells Hanna that she disapproves of Tom marrying Isabel. Then Ashley enters, and to her annoyance, realizes that Regina is rearranging the kitchen. Unabashed, Regina boldly tells Ashley that she should try to win Tom back, as Isabel is not the one for him. Ashely brushes off her request and tries to convince her to revert the kitchen to its earlier state, which she does not.

In a school assembly, Dr. Sullivan makes a speech that addresses technology’s role in school bullying. The school bullies behave typically, with bored and snide expressions on their faces. The girls wear uncomfortable expressions, as Dr. Sullivan encourages the students being bullied to speak out if they don't feel safe. Mona files her nails, and Jenna looks snide.

Right after the assembly, the girls congregate outside the building, discussing their feelings of vulnerability. Hanna questions whether confiding in Dr. Sullivan was a good idea in the first place. Just then, Jenna walks over and reminds the girls that Alison could have benefited from such an assembly. She looks smug, and Emily rebuts her by calling Jenna a bully and asking her to move her stick. (Who's the bully, now?)

At the dinner toast for Tom’s wedding, Hanna makes one last effort to bond with her stepsister, Kate. At first, Kate follows Hanna's suit when she apologizes for her earlier behavior and claims that she didn't mean her threats in their last phone conversation. Chipper, Kate offers Hanna some vodka disguised in water bottles from her purse. Hanna accepts, none too thrilled to be asked to make a speech.

Hanna is getting drunker by the minute, while Kate pens cheesy words for a toast. She notices Hanna checking out the picture of Caleb on her phone and declares him cute after Hanna shows her the screen. Suddenly, Kate's Uncle Roy passes by, and Kate becomes agitated. Not wanting him to see them, she asks Hanna to drink up quickly. The two sip from their drinks as he passes, and makes no notice of them. But, Kate doesn't explain her strange behavior and instead asks a waiter for more drinks before they enter the dining room.

Kate leads Hanna into the bridal suite, rather than the dining room, where they have yet to make their joint speech. By now, Hanna is totally wasted and plops down on the bed. However, Kate is somehow mostly or completely in control of her senses and carries her mother's wedding dress into the room. She brings the dress to Hanna's attention once more, parading it in front of her and commenting on how beautiful it looks. Hanna agrees, but is more interested in getting something to eat. Kate leaves to get such a thing, and Hanna suddenly obeys her urge to play with Isabel's gown for the next night. She holds it to her body and spins around the room with it, but the motion makes her dizzy, and she collapses on the bed before vomiting on the dress. While she is throwing up, Kate returns with a plate of food. When she sees what Hanna is doing, she smirks and turns back around.

Hanna tries against all odds to rid the wedding dress of her vomit stains. But, she is busted when Tom enters the ladies' room, having heard that Hanna is ill. Luckily, Hanna’s grandmother is there to support Hanna. Realizing what Hanna has done, he becomes livid with her. He accuses her of trying to sabotage his wedding and ignores her defense that Kate had been drinking as well. He simultaneously ejects his mother and daughter from the party and leaves the room in a huff.

Grandma Marin helps Hanna recover with some tea. The dress seems hopeless. Kate enters and offers Hanna some ginger ale, under the guise of being sympathetic. Regina grabs her purse and reveals that Kate had water bottles full of Vodka for Hanna and unspiked water bottles for herself, exposing Kate for tripping Hanna and trying to win over her in the eyes of Tom. Angry, Hanna vows her revenge, but Kate just shrugs and leaves.

Emily texts Hanna and the others to meet Dr. Sullivan at her office; she claims to know "A's" identity. However, when the girls arrive, the office is empty. They receive a message from "A" stating: "The doctor is out!"

The next day, the Liars are seen ringing the doorbell on Dr. Sullivan's home. Dr. Sullivan isn’t there and hasn’t picked up the latest copies of The Rosewood Observer from off her stoop. Her voicemail says she’s been called out of town on a family emergency. Spencer reminds them that the last time somebody thought she knew who "A" was, she got hit by a car. They also agree going to the police will not help, as Garrett, Jenna, Ian, and Jason all seem to be linked to the Rosewood Police Department.

Later, Spencer calls the Liars to come over to look at a huge box that was mysteriously delivered to her house, bearing the inscription, "Open or she dies." Trepidly, the girls remove the lid to find a list of ransom demands. The instructions are made of letters cut out from magazines. Beneath the letter are three creepy, talking dolls with pull-strings, resembling Spencer, Hanna and Aria. Hanna’s blonde look-alike says "Stop the wedding." Emily is disconcerted that there is no doll for her. The others speculate that it’s because she’s been a target for weeks, but Emily is slow to believe that the seemingly omniscient "A" would make such an oversight.

Spencer realizes that "A" is being their "ultimate frenemy" by pushing them to do things they want anyway; knowing that all hell will break loose when they do. It’s 2 PM. They now have 5 hours remaining. Spencer remembers that there was no hesitation when "A" pushed Ian off the belltower, fully believing "A" to be capable of murder.

Emily and Hanna dress for the upcoming wedding. Hanna expresses her fears of losing her dad, who was gone for the past two years. If she screws up the wedding, he’ll surely leave again. Tom knocks on the door, and Emily leaves to give them privacy. Dad and daughter both say sorry about the vomit on Isabel's dress incident. Hanna tries to dissuade her father one last time, asking him whether he truly loves Isabel. Tom is firm that his fling with Ashley was only in order to evade a commitment that deep down he wants to make and that Isabel makes him happy.

As the wedding begins, the girls are worried that Emily has not yet arrived. Hanna, with Caleb at the wedding, mopes that her father and projected step-mother really do look happy together. Kate comes over to taunt Hanna, and Hanna makes a pretext of her phone beeping to hurriedly leave. The text message Hanna has received is from "A" warning her that Dr. Sullivan is about to suffocate...

As the officiating minister preaches, Hanna shockingly interrupts the ceremony to ask for a private word with Isabel. Tom tries to see if it can wait, but Hanna insists. So Isabel complies and leads Hanna to the rectory. Meanwhile, Spencer and Aria realize that Hanna will need backup and so leave the church to get their car, a move not unnoticed by Caleb. Alone with Isabel, Hanna spills that Tom "hooked up" with Ashley when he returned to Rosewood. Isabel asks whether this is true, and Hanna turns around to see that her father has been observing their conversation. When he doesn't deny it, Isabel sets down her bouquet and walks off. Hanna mumbles an apology. But, there is little time to process as "A" directs the girls to the barn on Grover road, where Emily is.

At the barn, the girls make sense of the clues "A's" left for them. Suddenly, Emily sees a rusty curved shovel perched on the barn door and affirms that the shovel must have been placed there recently. Spencer picks it up to see a note taped to the inside of the shovel, with latitude and longitude coordinates. Hanna remembers that her text during the ceremony read that Dr. Sullivan was about to run out of air. Did "A" bury Dr. Sullivan alive?

In their heels, they stumble towards the undisclosed location in the middle of some woods, but there is nothing, then a clearing. The girls then catch sight of a stick protruding from a spot in the ground. Hanna notices it and gets texted, prompting Hanna to say she’s still alive and that they should start digging. First they find her boots, and eventually, a face that belongs to a mannequin. Then, a helicopter roars overheard, and the girls realize that they have been set up.

Spencer, Hanna, and Aria are seated in an isolated investigation room. The girls are numb and silent. Their nice dresses are covered in dirt stains, and their whole bodies are smudged with dirt. Unbeknownst to them, they are being watched by Officer Garrett and Detective Wilden on the other side of the mirror; Garrett is eager to convict the girls of their supposed guilt. Darren then walks into the room, shocking the girls with his presence. He accuses the girls of having committed homicide.

Detective Wilden confronts the girls, saying he’s given them so many chances to be honest with them, and evidence doesn’t lie. He asserts that he has caught the girls with the murder weapon, which the police have known about all along. He puts the now-bagged shovel from the barn on the table.

In October 2008, Alison is narrating a scary story to a frightened kid that Hanna is babysitting. It’s about two blonde twins, who are shown on screen. After getting into a fight over a doll, one of them gets mad and stabs the other in the heart with a knife on Halloween. Hanna thinks Alison should stop, but the child is riveted. So, Alison continues on about how the murderess little girl went to the asylum—“until yesterday!” and vows to kill every kid who goes trick-or-treating. Alison then maniacally stabs the butcher's knife she is holding deep into the pumpkin they are carving on the table.

The girls walk to school debating Halloween costumes—should Hanna go as bald Britney? Alison is bossy with regards to Hanna's decision and makes a jab about Hanna's weight. Noel drives up in a convertible with his jock friends to greet the Liars and especially Alison. Spying Aria, he says "come prepared to be scared," exciting her with the knowledge that they are invited to Noel's bash. As Noel drives away, Alison mocks the other Liars for being so excited to attend a party.

They continue walking and pass a run-down abandoned house. A figure is seen in one of the upstairs windows, and Emily calls it out, frightening the other girls. Aria comments that she gets a bad feeling from this place, feeling as if something bad had happened there. Spencer attributes the movement to typical Rosewood kid activity on Halloween, and Alison is equally nonchalant.

In her bedroom that night, pajama-clad Hanna watches a scary movie beside a huge bowl of popcorn. The phone rings, just as a voice on the film says not to answer the phone. Hanna reluctantly picks up, but nobody responds. Next, the power goes off then on, making the lights flicker momentarily, and the phone rings again. Hanna picks up, and this time, it’s Alison asking if she was at the costume shop and had sent her a text. When Hanna responds in the negative, Alison doesn't bother to explain her questioning and hangs up.

Just then, there is a knock at the door—but it’s not the bogeyman, exactly, but policeman Darren driving a drunken Ashley home. Apparently, Ashley had binged on martinis at The Grille. It is revealed that Ashley is upset about her husband leaving and is stressed about dealing with the situation he has left behind in Rosewood. As Ashley falls asleep on the couch, Hanna consoles her that her dad’s new girlfriend is pretty ugly.

The next day, Hanna enters the kitchen, as her mother sits reading the newspaper on the counter. She is looking through the job listings, glum at having found little better than maid openings. When she spots an opening for a bank branch manager in Rosewood, she pauses considering. Suddenly, Darren comes by to "check" on Ashley. Ashley takes him aside, not wanting Hanna to hear. Darren makes implied advances, but Ashley lets him down, calling his expectations a misunderstanding. He ominously warns her to be careful out there. When Ashley returns inside, Hanna questions the behavior. “That was a horny cop,” Ashley replies, writing it away firmly.

That night, the girls get dressed in Spencer’s bedroom. Hanna is donning her Britney costume, Emily is dressed as a Native American, and Spencer is wearing a corset dress. Alison is dressed as Lady Gaga. Suddenly, someone dressed in a burlap cowl with a doll mask is seen outside the window. Spencer notices him/her, and the girls all squeal with worry. The doorbell then rings, presumably for a pizza delivery, but Spencer insists on going downstairs in company.

At the Halloween party, Noel, dressed as a gynecologist, approaches to greet them, correctly characterizing Ali as Lady GaGa (or hot chick), Emily as a Native American, Hanna as cute Britney, and Aria as a witch. Only Spencer as Mary Queen of Scots he can't place.

Hanna and Aria go in search of the bathroom. They follow the arrow on the sign at the edge of some woods that reads "Killer Drinks this way." As they move deeper into the bushes, they are scared by someone in a scary costume who creeps up on them.

Some time later, Emily is sitting outside alone. Hanna joins her, wondering where Alison is. The other Liars join up, and they get a text that reads "I’m in trouble, come alone" from Ali, directing them to the scary house's address. So, they all hurry over there.

It’s abandoned except for torn lace curtains and antique dolls in a corresponding dollhouse. They are startled to see a lonely suit hanging in the middle of a room, giving the appearance of someone being hanged with the shadow it casts.

They find Ali in a locked room. Seemingly terrified, she recounts that someone grabbed her and brought her there threatening to kill her with a knife. Nobody can get a signal to dial 911 from their cell phones, so Ali goes out alone. Then she screams, but the door is now bolted and they can’t open it. Through the keyhole they see a big fight with her and costumed guy with a knife. Ali knees him and runs off, and the Liars get out through a conveniently open window.

They go back in the house, and Ali is rocking in a chair, brandishing a knife and looking completely insane, but she says it was all a hoax. Noel was the zombie, the blood was ketchup (which she meanly offers to a tearing Hanna), and they "passed the test." Spencer is the only who can voice her betrayed feelings at Alison's dumb joke, but she unabashedly counters that she now knows that she can count on them as her friends when she needs them. They all look really annoyed and betrayed by Alison's crying wolf, but are silent.

Back at the party, Noel approaches Ali to apologize, but she tells him it was perfect—but then realizes he’s apologizing because he didn’t make it to the plot; he was stuck at the party, not because he had been too rough with her. Now Alison is taken aback. Who was it then?

Back in real time, a month has passed since the night of their arrest. The four girls are picking up trash for community service on the Rosewood Camp grounds. Two strangers also doing time make snarky comments in front of the girls about them, and when one says they killed someone, Emily snaps at her by saying they didn't do anything. Spencer tells Emily to stop talking to them. Emily tells the other girls that Spencer's mom would sell them out in a second to save Spencer and that they should consider making a deal with "A." A fight ensues. Hanna and the guards break it up, earning both Spencer and Emily two extra weeks of community service.

The next morning, Hanna talks to Ashley in the kitchen. She asks why Hanna ruined her father's wedding. She said it had to be done and regrets they wound up at a Justice of the Peace to get married anyway. Hanna leaves the room when Emily enters.

After class, Aria walks down the hall with Hanna recounting the awkward morning with Ezra and wishing she could have explained why she had to break up with him. Hanna reminds her she had no choice. Emily passes by and they both give her the cold shoulder. It appears Hanna and Aria are closer than ever while Emily is being outed.

Outside, Lucas tells Hanna he found another photo of her doing community service on the internet. She debates whether she wants to see it, then decides she does. Lucas minimizes the site he was looking at to show her the photo and insists she looks pretty in it.

Caleb returns and Hanna is very happy to see him. They kiss in her foyer while Lucas looks on awkwardly.

That night, all 4 girls meet at the greenhouse. Emily shows them the text she got from "A" earlier. It becomes clear that all the fighting and sniping earlier had been for show. Spencer revels in the knowledge that she rattled Garrett's cage. They openly discuss the details of their plan to trap "A". Emily will go to the greenhouse with the box of "evidence" while Spencer, Aria, and Hanna hide outside and come to aid her when the time is right.

Aria arrives late to the swim meet, apologizing to Spencer, saying "it's complicated." She made it just in the nick of time to put their plan into action. Emily exits the gym after the swim meet, spots the girls, and demands the box Jason gave Aria for all to hear. She declares she knows where Spencer hid the box and storms off. The other girls feign annoyance with Caleb, Lucas, Toby, Garrett and other students looking on.

That night, Ashley prevents Hanna from leaving the house by telling her Tom is coming over to talk. Hanna learns that her dad, step-mom, and step-sister Kate will be moving to Rosewood and doesn't hide her displeasure. Tom doesn't hide his frustration with Hanna either, so Ashley steps in to remind them he is moving to Rosewood to be close with his daughter because he loves her.

Hanna arrives at the greenhouse just in time to see "A" running away and accidentally hits him/her with her car. "A," however, shows to suffer no major damage and continues to run through the woods, losing the girls. Spencer shouts that now they have nothing. Frustrated, they return to greenhouse and discover "A"s phone on the ground under Hanna's front headlight. They all stare at it thinking the same thing - they may have actually found hard evidence to expose the identity of "A."

They head back into the greenhouse to look for the box and decide what to do next. They have a contest over who has had the worse day. Spencer suggests calling Caleb to help them recover information from the phone, but Hanna doesn't want to get him involved. The phone rings, caller unknown; each girl is afraid to answer it. They never get the chance because more glass comes crashing down from the ceiling. They drive away, heading straight to Caleb against Hanna's wishes.

Caleb hooks the phone up to his laptop and explains the recovery process. While downloading the information, the owner of the phone shuts it down remotely. Caleb agrees to try to unlock the files they do have if Hanna is okay with it. She reluctantly agrees.

Caleb works on decrypting the files on his laptop at school. Hanna is concerned someone may figure out what he's doing, but he assures her he hasn't told anyone. He tries to get her to tell him what it is all about. Hanna calls out Lucas' name as he walks by and makes plans for a study session later on, even though Lucas doesn't seem to have time for it.

Hanna is unhappy with Spencer at the moment for dragging Caleb into their "A" investigation. Emily suggests Spencer let Hanna use her lake house for face time with Caleb. She accidentally lets slip that Hanna has used it for that purpose before, which comes as news to Spencer.

At Hanna's house, Hanna tries to study while Lucas seems distracted. She gets a text from Spencer offering her the lake house. She gets the brilliant idea to use it to throw Caleb a surprise birthday party and enlists Lucas' help in planning it. Lucas says he cannot contribute financially, but reluctantly agrees to help.

The next day at school, Mona flags down Hanna in the hall to ask where her invitation is. Hanna didn't think Mona, and by extension, Noel, would want to attend a surprise party for Caleb, but Mona assures her all is forgiven between them; they would love to attend a cool party at Spencer's lake house.

Caleb beckons them into a nearby classroom to show them what he recovered from the mystery phone. It is a photo of 4 porcelain dolls sitting in a row on a wooden surface in front of green floral wallpaper. The girls pretend like the photo means nothing to them.

They thank Caleb for his help and exit. Hanna stays behind trying to make a plan for Caleb's birthday, takeout perhaps, so he doesn't suspect a surprise party. He worries that her keeping the information surrounding this phone a secret could be a problem for their relationship. She assures him it is not important and they kiss.

In the neighborhood to pick up a cake, Hanna pops in on Ezra in his office to let him know she and Aria's other friends approve of their relationship.

At the party, which seems well underway, Hanna is distracted by all her party-planning responsibilities. Mona and Noel inform her the pizzas she ordered all came with green peppers, then Noel leaves, offering to help hang the birthday banner. Hanna is clearly stressed out and refuses to listen to anything Spencer has to say. Then, Hanna takes the rowboat out with Lucas to set up the fireworks across the lake.

Halfway across the lake, Lucas stops rowing. She becomes more and more frightened by Lucas' tone and asks to go back, hearing Spencer calling her name from shore. Lucas stands and shouts at her. Hanna flips, pushes him overboard, and takes the oars. She doesn't get far before a hand latches onto one of the oars and Hanna herself falls overboard.

After a few tense moments, Hanna swims to shore. Spencer tries to warm Hanna up and find out what happened. Mona and Noel appear, half-dressed and dripping because they just "took a dip." Caleb arrives and Hanna meekly mumbles "surprise."

Next, the four girls are sitting in Spencer's house, warming Hanna up by the fire. She is certain that Lucas is still alive and out there, though the other girls say he never came back up to shore. Hanna is about to take a drink of water when the other girls notice it's lake water and stop her. An accompanying text from "A" is sent seconds after Hanna drinks a little bit of the lake water.

Mrs. Marin has a lot of questions for Emily and Hanna the next morning. Ashley is concerned and feels partially responsible for Lucas not coming home last night. Hanna informs her that Lucas called his parents earlier. Ashley tries to comfort Hanna, saying Lucas will talk to her when he is ready. They leave to go to Spencer's, claiming they need to run a group presentation once more.

Spencer has found cell phones and an old receipt up in her attic at the lake house, certain that "A" was up there. The date on the receipt is from around the time that Hanna and Caleb went up to the lake house. The receipt lists an address in Philadelphia. Aria and Spencer agree to check out the place in Philly later this afternoon.

At school, Mona confesses to Hanna how she thinks she is losing Noel after Caleb's party, but Hanna, lost in thought, doesn't really listen, and only snaps to full attention when she sees a guy taking down her homecoming picture, stating that the administration doesn't think that "tiaras and orange jumpsuits" are a good mix. Mona snaps that she is not giving up the crown then returns to discussing her problems. She asks if she's being paranoid, and finds out that Hanna wasn't listening. Hanna explains she has her own problems to deal with, but since she can't explain those problems to Mona, Mona thinks she is just being selfish. Hanna goes into the girls room, locks herself in a stall and starts crying.

Hanna, still crying in the bathroom, suddenly notices that water is flowing into her stall. She walks out to discover an overflowing sink, with a small wooden boat floating in the sink. "A," of course, texts Hanna: Life is but a dream, Hanna. And I'm your worst nightmare. -A

Hanna and Caleb are in Hanna's kitchen. Caleb wants to go look for Lucas, knowing he isn't at his cousin's house like he told his parents. Hanna says he'll come home when he's ready and Caleb catches on that maybe she doesn't want to find him. This causes a fight between the two, and she says that he can look for Lucas and no one is stopping him. He leaves, then Mona texts Hanna, saying she needs to talk. Hanna ignores it and continues to mope.

In the evening, Hanna calls Caleb a few times, concerned about his safety and whereabouts. She notices the wind blew the door open, and thinks the latch is broken. When she goes into her bedroom, Lucas surprises her there, claiming that he never wanted to hurt her. Hanna asks what he did to Caleb while covertly calling Caleb on her cell. Caleb, who is already downstairs, gets the call and rushes up to Hanna's room, hearing Lucas' threatening voice in the background. Caleb asks what Lucas did and where he has been. Lucas reveals why he was MIA: He lost $4,000 in a bet over a basketball game, money which belonged to Caleb. It was a sure thing until the team got disqualified. After the rowboat incident, he drove all over selling his comic books to try to get some of Caleb's money back. Now they're all on good terms again, but Hanna now is unsure of who they met in the greenhouse.

The girls ponder this new information over unopened Chinese food. Spencer shows them the sign-in book from the rehab center. They learn that Garrett visited Jenna there for 20 minutes, then signed her out. They could both have been in Rosewood at the time of Alison's murder. They open the food, and, to their horror, find it was replaced with live earthworms. "A" sends a text about this being what live bait looks like.

The next day, the girls are checking out what Caleb got from "A's" cell phone. They see the video of Ali and Ian at the Kissing Rock and wonder if this is all there is. Hanna hopes it is so Caleb doesn't have to be involved anymore. Then a new video starts. Ian hides a video camera on a shelf in Ali's bedroom, and then Garrett and Jenna enter the room. Ian called them to help search for the N.A.T. Club videos that Ali won't hand over. Garrett accuses Ian of going too far, which is why he bailed on the club in the first place. They start searching Ali's bedroom for the videos at Ian's request. Garrett finds something "weird" in a wooden box, then the video cuts off. The girls are left wondering if those missing videos are what got Ali killed.

The secret compartment inside the doll in Ali's box pops open while Hanna holds the doll. They find a series of threatening notes. The one about a pumpkin catches their attention. The girls flash back to walking home the night of Noel's Halloween party. The jack-o-lanterns on her porch are destroyed; a carving knife stabs through a note into one of the pumpkins. Alison laughs it off as the work of "Jason's beer buddies." She apologizes for the prank she pulled earlier, then asks the girls to stay over. In the present day, they realize the note that Alison got actually said "next time it'll be your face." And it was signed by "A!"

Hanna tries to console Mona over her break-up with Noel, but Mona is still upset with Hanna. Mona grabs a necklace out of her locker and tries to return it to Noel, who is standing nearby with his friends. He promptly dumps it in the trash and laughs when Mona begins to cry. Hanna follows a tearful Mona into the bathroom and tries to comfort her, though she can't seem to find the right words. They agree to use their fake IDs at Rive Gauche later that night.

Caleb confronts Hanna in her kitchen about the cell phone having something to do with Alison's murder. Hanna doesn't want him working on the videos at all because it is too dangerous. Caleb tells her Garrett has been watching him. That is the last straw for Hanna; she thrusts the memory card from "A's" phone into the blender and holds the lid down while it spins and breaks into pieces.

At night, Ashley spots the blender in the trash and questions Hanna about it. Hanna asks her if she ever kept a secret from her father while they were together. Ashley recounts a few stories from the past then asks what Hanna is keeping from Caleb, but Hanna isn't talking.

Hanna and Mona spot Jenna and Noel sitting together in Rive Gauche.

One night, Hanna calls Caleb, Aria and Emily but all of them decline. Eventually, Spencer answers her phone and says she is with her family. However, Hanna hears someone break a glass, and Aria shout out Emily's name in surprise, making her realize that the girls are together. Hanna is hurt, thinking the girls are mad at her for destroying the flash drive, but doesn't force the subject.

In the Marin's kitchen, Hanna and Ashley eat dinner in silence, when Ashley asks about the elephant in the room. Hanna says that Kate isn't an elephant, but a snake who is going to ruin her life. Ashley assures her that Tom made it clear to Kate that if there was any problem between her and Hanna, there would be consequences. Hanna isn't convinced Kate will listen, but Ashley gets her to promise that she will do everything she can to make Kate feel welcome in Rosewood.

At school the next day, Hanna asks the girls what they did the previous night, and they lie that they were studying. It's Kate's first day at Rosewood High, and a worried Hanna keeps looking around for her. As they walk back to their table, Kate approaches them, looking a little nervous and awkwardly makes conversation with the girls. Spencer asks Kate if they have met before. Kate says it was at the wedding, but Spencer thinks it was somewhere else. Hanna shows Kate to her next class, and gets a text from "A," who warns her to keep Caleb out of their business or they will expose Ashley's theft of the money from the bank.

Hanna later joins the others and asks them if they know anything about Caleb still investigating the files from "A's" phone. The girls brush it off and quickly leave, but Hanna confronts Spencer, saying that she knows they are annoyed she destroyed the memory drive, but they shouldn't just push her away as she was only doing it to protect Caleb and would do the same for anyone of them.

The girls are eating lunch with Kate, who is being disturbingly nice. Spencer asks Kate if she has ever been to Maine, along with many other questions, trying to figure out where they had met, clearly making Kate uncomfortable. When Kate leaves to meet her teachers, Hanna tells Spencer to back off because Kate might tell her dad her friends are grilling her. Spencer insists she knows Kate from somewhere, but doesn't know from where.

Hanna and Spencer hang out in Spencer's house, preparing to watch a movie. Hanna is still worried about Kate, sure that her nice personality is just an act. To convince Hanna that she has nothing to worry about, Spencer shows Hanna the photo of Kate from camp, covered in bug bites. However, Hanna's good mood suddenly shifts when she finds a picture of Ali's fake ID on Spencer's phone. Spencer confesses that Caleb is still working on the information from "A's" phone, and they kept it a secret from her. Hanna is furious. She says that while she was worried about Kate backstabbing her, she didn't realize Spencer was the one holding the knife and storms out.

Hanna waits for Caleb outside her house. She confronts him about going behind her back. He says that he knows she is trying to protect him, but he is worried about her. Hanna says he isn't the only one she is trying to protect and tells him the last year was really hard on her and Ashley. She confesses that they had serious money issues and almost lost their house, and Ashley stole money from the bank to support them. Hanna says she never told anyone that before, and Caleb thanks Hanna for trusting him. Hanna says someone else knows and is holding it over her. Caleb asks if it's Jenna, but Hanna says she doesn't know, and that it is this unknown person's phone that Caleb is working on.

Spencer comes to Hanna's to apologize, and says that going behind her back wasn't an act of betrayal; it was desperation. "A" has taken everything from her and she can't lose Hanna too. Hanna hugs Spencer and says that she hasn't lost her.

In Hanna's room, Hanna says that she has seen Ali with dark hair before. Flashback to a chubby Hanna entering a hair salon and being sat next to a dark-haired girl named Vivian Darkbloom. Hanna recognizes Ali's voice and is surprised to see that Vivian is actually Alison! Ali says she is pretending to be someone else and asks Hanna to play along. When Hanna asks why, Ali says she does it all the time because she is bored and suggests Hanna do the same sometime. Ali hints she gets sick of being herself sometimes, and pulls off the wig.

Spencer does an internet search for Vivian Darkbloom, which she finds to be an anagram of Vladimir Nabokov, the Russian author who wrote 'Lolita'. Hanna realizes she still has Ali's copy of that book and grabs it off the shelf. Spencer finds a claim ticket inside.

At school, the next day, Noel approaches Hanna and thanks her for making his day. Hanna is confused, but Noel just grins and walks away. Emily, Spencer and Aria come up to Hanna, shocked that she would do such a thing, asking for an explanation. Hanna asks what she did, and Emily shows Hanna her phone, which displays a picture of Kate naked in the girls locker room. Hanna is horrified and insists she didn't send it to them, but Aria says she didn't just send it to them, she sent it to her entire contact list. As they look around, everybody stares at Hanna, disgusted by what she has done. The girls don't need to guess who the real culprit is.

Hanna, Ashley, Isabel and Kate sit outside the Vice Principal's office in silence. Hanna's phone rings, but Ashley glares at her when she goes to answer it. Eventually, Vice Principal Tamborelli calls in Mrs. Marin, and both Isabel and Ashley respond.

Back in Tamborelli's office, Isabel is furious about the situation and implies that Ashley is a bad mother, and that Hanna has it out for Kate. Ashley defends Hanna, while Isabel demands that Hanna be punished. Tamborelli assures them that Hanna will not be let off the hook, and under any other circumstances Hanna would be expelled, but due to the 'unusual' situation, he insists they attend the Rosewood High Truth Up Day, a guided workshop where students can own up to bad behavior and build barriers, until the school board decide what to do. Ashley volunteers to supervise.

The girls stand by Hanna's locker, discussing the situation "A" got Hanna into. Spencer says at least Hanna wasn't suspended, and eventually it will all blow over, but Hanna isn't convinced, "A" won't get hungry and lash out again. Annoyed, she points out how they thought they had all the power because they had "A's" phone, but now "A" is using their own phones against them.

Hanna walks down the hall, and is met with glares from the other students. She sees Kate and Isabel talking with Tamborelli and quickly turns around.

In her bedroom, Hanna is looking at the picture of Kate when Ashley comes in. Hanna says she doesn't have to go to Truth Up day, but Ashley says she wants some answers for herself. She sits beside Hanna on her bed and says she loves her very much and will crush anyone who tries to hurt her. Hanna doesn't want to talk about it, but Ashley says it isn't the first time Hanna said someone framed her, and wants to know who it is, asking for a name, but Hanna says there is no name. Ashley asks Hanna if she sent the picture of Kate, and, crying, Hanna finally says she did not.

During Truth Up Day, Hanna, Kate and Noel participate in an activity where they make suggestions on how to improve the school. Noel suggests hot tubs, and Kate simply says she wants to go back to her old school. Ella intervenes, asking for reasonable suggestions. She asks Kate what her old school has that Rosewood doesn't, and Kate simply says "nice people." Ella asks what else, and Kate says that students should have their own say, and if someone has messed with them, they should get to choose how to punish them, which Noel agrees to. He says that if someone messed with him, he would want payback, and explains how bad boys have nothing on mean girls, as a guy throws a few punches, whereas girls gang up on one another and don't fight fair, while glaring at Hanna. Hanna snaps back, saying Noel is the worst person in Rosewood, and when Ella tries to intervene, Hanna asks if she really thinks she is as bad as Noel described. Is she really a bully? When Ella doesn't respond, Hanna storms off.

Caleb and Hanna sit together on the roof of the school. He asks why she is upset, and Hanna says that her mom thinks that she sent the picture. Caleb doesn't believe it, but Hanna points out that only four people know the truth, and suggests that they run away to California. Hanna is startled by a noise behind them, but Caleb says it is just the plastic sheets moving in the wind and that no one ever comes up there. He says he wants to help her by tracing the IP address of the person who sent the photo. Hanna wants to him to forget about that and asks him to just hold her. Then, they kiss.

In the hall, Aria, Hanna and Emily are sitting together eating dinner, when they notice Kate nearby. Aria suggests they move somewhere else, but Hanna says she is fine. As Kate pulls off her sweater, Hanna notices a birthmark on Kate's waist. Realizing something, she looks at the picture of Kate on Emily's phone and sees that the birthmark isn't in the photo, which could mean it was Photoshopped. Aria asks why "A" would go through so much trouble to do that and improve Kate's image when they were trying to embarrass her, and Hanna says that maybe "A" didn't send the text.

Hanna leads Kate into the girls bathroom and confronts her about the picture, saying she didn't take the picture, but she knows who did. Kate insists she doesn't know what Hanna is talking about, and Hanna says that there was no birthmark in the photo, and that Kate should be more careful when taking a sweater off in public. Kate yells at Hanna, saying that she had no choice, as she knew Spencer would download the hideous pictures of her at riding camp. Hanna asks Aria if she can borrow her phone, and Aria and Emily emerge from the bathroom stalls, having recorded the conversation and Kate's confession.

Aria, Emily and Hanna exit the bathroom, and Aria notes how genius Kate's plan was. Hanna asks them to get Caleb to keep out of their business with "A." Hanna goes to find Ashley, while Aria looks for Caleb. Later, Kate and Hanna are seen leaving Tamborelli's office, and Hanna hugs Ashley while Isabel stares at Kate in disbelief.

Later that night, everyone is asleep in the assembly hall. Emily wakes up and checks her phone, and finds six missed calls from the number Aria called. She wakes Hanna and Aria, and the person calls them again. This time Emily speaks. A man answers and asks if she is Vivian's friend and what she wants. Emily says she has a few questions, and the man says he has some of his own, but he doesn't want to talk over the phone and asks her to meet him. Emily looks at the others and agrees.

The next day, at Rosewood High, Caleb is still hacking into "A's" files, and Hanna asks how he can get online in the school. Caleb explains he has his own wi-fi.

Suddenly, as they notice Garrett, along with another police officer, enter the school, looking around for someone. They head towards Caleb, who immediately locks his computer. Garrett shows Caleb a court order, which allows them to confiscate his laptop. When Caleb asks why, Garrett explains that someone is hacking into the school files, and he traced it back to his IP address. Caleb almost finds it humorous that they think he would be stupid enough to leave a trail, but Garrett says that they will find out, and a reluctant Caleb hands over his laptop. Garrett asks if there are any passwords they will need, but Caleb notes that the court order is allowing them to take his laptop, and doesn't say anything about what information is in his head.

When Garrett leaves, Hanna asks Caleb what that was about. Caleb tells her not to worry, as there is no way they will be able to get into his computer. Hanna returns to the girls, and tells them what happened, when they all receive a text. They nervously read it, and of course, it's from the ever so mysterious "A" (Now it's Caleb's turn. - A).

Caleb and Hanna talk in the empty computer room, where Hanna is freaking out, but Caleb is calm. He assures Hanna that he didn't do what they think he did, and there is no way they will be able to get past his firewall without his help. Plus the files from A's phone are all on flashdrives, backed up online. Hanna says that someone did get into his laptop, and they put the evidence in there somewhere he wouldn't find it, and she thinks the person who did that might be Garrett. Caleb asks how she knows that, and Hanna says she just does and asks Caleb if he can go online, log into his computer remotely and delete the files. Caleb says he can do that, and logs on to a computer.

Caleb types in his password, noting that the initials are the cities he grew up in, in the order that he lived there, with alternating capital letters. He ends it with 1105!, which confuses Hanna, but Caleb says it's just a good idea to add numbers and punctuation marks. However, Caleb can't connect to his laptop, which he says means one of two things: either the police haven't tried messing with it yet, or they're smart enough to keep it offline.

Later on, Aria sits in a booth at a diner with Ali's copy of Lolita! on the table in front of her, and Hanna, Emily and Spencer in the booth behind her. A man comes over and taps the book, noting that Aria is a friend of Vivian's. He sits down and asks Aria how much Vivian owed her, to which Aria is shocked to hear. Aria asks what Vivian did, and he explains that he worked at Allegheny Cellular in human resources, and Vivian wanted information. Aria asks what information Vivian wanted, and the man says that Vivian told him about a friend called Alison who was getting texts from somebody, but the number was blocked and she wanted to know where they were coming from, and would pay to find out. Aria asks if he found out, and he says he did, but made the mistake of telling Vivian before he had the money in his hand, and then he got fired for accessing restricted information. Aria asks what he knows about the person sending the texts, but the man is not talking without the money Vivian owes him. Aria reaches for her purse and asks how much, to which he says $2000 and the price could go up. He writes down his number and as he gets up to leave, Aria asks who she should ask for when she calls, and he tells her to ask for Jonah.

After he leaves, the four discuss this new information, and how if he finds out Ali is dead, there won't be enough money in the world to make him talk. Emily says if Jonah found out who "A" was and told Ali, it must be why she was killed. They need to find out what Jonah knows, but they don't have the money. Aria asks Spencer, but her bank account has been on lockdown since she was arrested.

The following day at school, Caleb argues with someone on the phone. When he hangs up, Caleb tells Hanna that the police will let him have his laptop back if he cooperates. Hanna asks what he is going to do, but Caleb shakes his head and leaves.

At the Marin house, Hanna asks if they could get Caleb a lawyer, but Ashley says they can't help; he has his own family. Hanna says he won't ask them for help, and barely even talks to her about it. Ashley leaves to answer the phone, and Maya arrives, asking Emily if they can talk. Ashley returns to the kitchen and tells Hanna they've been invited to the police station.

At the police station, Ashley and Hanna meet with Wilden, who takes the time to mention to Ashley that it's been a while. He explains that he called them in to discuss Alison's murder investigation; pages of her autopsy have been stolen. The police have been looking into it, and they found a photo, which he hands to Ashley, who looks at it for a moment and gives it to Hanna. It shows Hanna, Spencer and Emily in the hospital, outside the morgue, dressed as candy-strippers.

Sometime later, Hanna and Ashley are allowed to leave. Ashley wonders why Spencer and Emily's parents weren't called in as well. She pulls Hanna aside and says although Hanna didn't answer Darren's questions, she has to answer hers, and asks why they were dressed in those outfits. Hanna quickly lies that she and Emily dared Spencer to go in the morgue as a joke, and insists they had no idea there were files in there. Ashley says she already told Hanna that she knows when she is lying, and Hanna swears that they didn't take the page from the autopsy. Ashley stares at her daughter in silence for a moment, before leading her out of the building.

Back home, Hanna talks to Caleb on the phone. He is at the police station ad plans to cooperate, as he doesn't seem to have a choice. He quickly tells Hanna that he is in a very hot spot and that he needs her help, hanging up before he can elaborate.

Hanna is in her bedroom with her laptop open, trying to hack into Caleb's computer to delete the files, but she can't remember his password. Spencer arrives, having gotten Hanna's SOS, and Hanna asks if she knows how to hack into computers, which Spencer doesn't, reminding her that is what Caleb is for. Hanna explains that she needs to get into his computer and delete the incriminating files, or he will be arrested. Spencer tries to help.

She remembers what Caleb told her about his password, and manages to remember all the cities he's lived in, in their precise order, as well as alternating caps. She remembers the exclamation point at the end, but can't remember the last four numbers.

Hanna and Spencer are having little luck with the password, having only one more try before the system locks. Hanna remembers 1-1-something-5, but is stumped with the last number. Spencer asks if it could be a code, a date, part of a phone number, a birthday or an anniversary, when something clicks in Hanna's mind. Without elaborating, Hanna types in the last number, which turns out to be correct. The girls are ecstatic they got in, until they realise they don't know what to do next.

Hanna and Spencer find the school files in a folder named 'Hefty'. Hanna asks how much is on there, and Spencer says that someone really wants Caleb out of their way. Spencer yells at Hanna to highlight all the files and press CTRL: A on the keyboard, which she does, and the files are deleted one by one, just in time.

Caleb leaves the station, and is greeted by a thrilled Hanna. They hug, and Hanna says he could have told him the meaning of 1105 - November 5, the night they had sex for the first time. Caleb notes that there was an exclamation mark next to it, and they embrace. Behind them, a frustrated Garrett leaves. Caleb says they should go, but Hanna says they should throw it in his face a little while longer, and begins making out with Caleb.

At school, the Liars discuss the payoff they arranged with Jonah. When Emily asks how Spencer got the money so fast, she replies that it is from a relative who didn't want to be named. Aria and Spencer plan to meet Jonah at 6 pm and ask Emily and Hanna not to join them because he might get suspicious if they crowd him. Emily and Hanna want to come along, but eventually agree not to go.

Just then, Mona comes by and pulls Hanna aside to ask her about plans they'd made to shop for a dress for Mona to wear to a party. It is clear that Hanna forgot about their plans and tries to reschedule for tomorrow. At the same time, Mona receives a text from someone. When Hanna asks who it is from, she brushes it off, saying it's just a wrong number.

Later, at Hanna's house, Officer Wilden appears at the backdoor and wants to ask Hanna more questions. Ashley blows Wilden off and tells him that coming to their house is like this is harassment and so he decides to see them at the police station later.

Hanna is with Mona, who is trying to decide on a dress. Mona gets another text from "A" and this time tells Hanna about it. She says it's been happening since a few days ago and that the texts have been accusing her of shoplifting things. Hanna asks if any of the texts are about her, to which Mona replies that there are more about Hanna's mom. She shows her a suggestive photo of Ashley and Officer Wilden. Hanna lies and says it's obviously photo-shopped, to which Mona agrees. When Hanna questions what Mona would do with the picture if the mystery texter started threatening her, Mona replies that if she can live through Alison, she can survive this radioactive texting.

Hanna is still troubled by the picture Mona had shown her. So, she tries to talk to Ashley diplomatically about what would happen if anybody found out. Ashley replies that she could lose Hanna, because if Hanna's father wanted to sue for full custody, he would easily get it with this information.

The girls gather in Spencer's bedroom where Hanna tells the girls about Ashley's sleeping with Officer Wilden to get the shoplifting charges dropped. She also tells them Mona has been getting texts from "A" about it. When Emily asks Hanna how much she's told Mona, she replies that she's told her nothing, but she feels bad about lying to her. When Hanna goes downstairs to get food, Spencer asks Hanna to check if Garrett is still outside, as he followed her home after meeting Jonah.

Downstairs, Hanna has received an email from Caleb. It's another part of Ian's video from Alison's room. Surprisingly, instead of Alison walking into the room as they expected, Melissa storms in angrily, asking "Where is she?" The girls are shocked and Aria, Hanna, and Emily immediately want to turn Melissa in, but Spencer gets extremely defensive. The girls reluctantly decide to let Spencer talk to Melissa before they do anything.

At Hanna's House, Mona shows Hanna the incident report from when Hanna shoplifted the sunglasses. The report was put into Mona's mailbox by "A." "A" had threatened Mona to give the report and the photo of Ashley and Wilden to the Rosewood Observer or else she'll be charged with shoplifting.

Hanna tells Mona about "A" and that the threat isn't a joke. When Mona asks about what "A" has done to her, Hanna doesn't know where to start. When Mona wants to know what to do about the report, Hanna isn't sure, but promises she will think of something in time. Mona asks her to hurry, showing her the text she got from "A" which gives her only until 10 am the next day to make a decision.

Later, Hanna, Aria and Emily go the address Jonah gave them. It is the house of an abandoned law firm office. The door is locked, so they look around. Aria sees a stack of letters in the mail slot and goes to investigate. She pulls at a letter when suddenly a creepy old man yells back at her from inside. An alarm goes off. Terrified, she falls backward and hurts her leg. The other girls help her up and they run away.

At Hanna's house, Aria nurses her wounds, while Hanna researches the law firm. She finds out that the firm closed down 3 months ago. She wants to find out who worked there, hoping it leads them to another clue, but Aria decides they got scammed. Hanna is frustrated and realizes that either her mom or Mona is going down, and she doesn't like either possibility.

The next day, at 10:15 am, Hanna, believing that Mona turned her mom in, goes to tell Mona that she doesn't blame her. Mona reveals that she went to the jewelry store and returned the necklace she stole. The store owners called the police and it ended with Mona's mom working it out so Mona would get community service - serving food to the homeless. Hanna thanks her and Mona replies that she wouldn't do anything that would hurt her best friend and her mom.

At school, Emily sits down with Aria at the lunch table. Hanna passes by Mona and sees the creepy message "A" slipped into her lunch. Mona wants to leave school and not be a sitting target, but Hanna invites her to sit with her and Aria and Emily. Mona agrees.

In the Marin home, that night, Ashley spots the letter Aria had picked up lying on Hanna's bed. She asks Hanna what it is and Hanna lies that it came in the mail by mistake. Ashley says it's odd because it is addressed to FWL Law Firm, the one that she used for her divorce. Hanna asks why she would use a law firm so far away, and Ashley says Melissa Hastings interned there that summer.

Later that night, Emily wakes Hanna when she returns from being questioned by Officer Barry. Apparently Maya left her parents a note and packed a bag. Emily is frustrated that she hasn't heard from Maya. Hanna thinks she should tell the cops that because every detail helps. Emily believes Maya ran away just like she said she would and just wants to get some sleep.

The next morning, Hanna tells Ashley that Tom is bailing on the Father/Daughter dance at school due to a "prior commitment." Ashley offers to take her to the dance, despite it being for fathers and daughters because missing out on something Hanna is looking forward to is lamer than showing up with her mother. Hanna agrees and seems to like the idea.

The girls stand outside at school to discuss the latest text from "A." They accuse Melissa of being "A," but Spencer insists it is impossible. Aria worries that Melissa may know about the N.A.T. videos. Spencer explains how devastated Melissa was to find Ian dead and continues to insist there is no way she could be "A." Hanna thinks they should turn the video over to the cops anyway because it is evidence, but the other girls all agree turning over evidence to the cops has not worked in their favor in the past. They allow Spencer to try to get to the bottom of it on her own before doing anything.

Hanna tells Mona that Caleb is in Montecito with his family as they walk down Main Street at night. Then she asks if Mona has gotten any new texts from "A." She says no and begins to complain about the community service she has to do. They spot Ashley and Wilden parked across the street talking. Hanna looks worried.

Hanna confronts her mom as soon as she arrives home. She asks if they are back together. Ashley denies it and tells Hanna the truth. She found the stolen police report amongst Hanna's things and wants to know where it came from. Hanna pretends not to know and is scared that it may get out. Ashley says she did the right thing by giving it to Wilden because maybe he can keep her safe. Hanna walks away realizing nothing she says could convince Ashley otherwise.

The next day, Ashley gives Hanna one more chance to tell her everything she knows about that police report. Hanna still refuses to talk. Ashley demands Hanna hand over her cell phone. Hanna can tell it was Wilden's idea even though Ashley denies it. Instead of giving her mom the phone, she tosses into a sink full of sudsy water and walks out.

Hanna goes to the Father/Daughter Dance and meets Aria, Mona, Spencer, and Emily and informs them her mom is "hot on the A trail." Ashley thinks the police report was sent to Hanna, not Mona, and gave it to Wilden because she think it will keep them safe. Aria is worried now that both of their mom's are looing for "A" and scared what "A" might do if they get too close. Hanna almost brings up Dr. Sullivan, but Spencer cuts her off, and says they need a creative solution to this problem. Mona has an idea. It requires a big lie and apparently she is terrible at that. She asks which one of them is the best liar and they all point to Aria. Slightly affronted, she asks Mona what lie she has to tell.

Aria sits in Mrs. Marin's kitchen and confesses to sending Hanna that police report. She tells Ashley she had begged Hanna to stop shoplifting because if she were to be caught again, she could end up in jail. Aria says she made up that police report to scare Hanna straight and admits that she is A (for Aria, for anonymous). Aria apologizes and asks if there is anything else she can do, but Ashley says she can take it from here.

Hanna arrives at Aria's room the next day, wanting to know if her mom bought Aria's story. Aria has no idea. She gets a call from Jonah, of all people, which Hanna urges her to answer.

Spencer's car pulls up next to some stores in Brookhaven, a nearby town. The girls all get out of the car and Aria explains that Jonah told her Alison had been getting texts from more than one number, one of which led them here. Hanna wonders if Melissa could still be "A." They stand on the sidewalk wondering where the calls could have originated from when Aria spots a "Doll Hospital," a store full of antique dolls very similar to the dolls "A" sent. When Aria says she is cold, Spencer hands her the keys to get a coat out of the trunk, not just any coat - Vivian's coat. Aria puts it on, then hears a voice call out "Vivian." She turns to see a young man staring at her.

Later, Sitting outside Lucky Leon's, Aria tells the others about Duncan, the boy who thought she was Vivian. She told him she was a friend of Vivian's and hasn't seen her since she gave her the coat. He doesn't know Alison/Vivian is dead because he has been in Florida the past year. Aria shows Spencer Duncan's number and tells her he met Vivian in a bookstore a few doors down from the creepy doll hospital Jonah sent them to. Emily questions if Duncan is just a random guy Alison flirted with, but Spencer is sure Ali wouldn't have wasted time flirting while trying to track down "A." Aria decides to call him. Just then, a car pulls up and Jenna and Toby emerge, Jenna's eye bandaged post-surgery.

In the morning, Hanna argues with her mom about getting a replacement phone. Ashley won't get her a new one since Hanna purposefully destroyed the old one. She assures Hanna that Emily would allow her to use her phone in an emergency, which Emily can't argue with. Hanna is not satisfied with this solution. Ashley says when Hanna is willing to share more about what is going on in her life, they can talk about a new phone.

In the hall at school, Mona hands Hanna an old cell phone which will bill to her account and stay off her mom's radar. When she leaves, Spencer makes a joke about Mona's sense of entitlement. Hanna is grateful she didn't need to ask Caleb to help with the phone situation, still worried about "A" hurting him.

While walking past the Cavanaugh house, Aria tells the others that Duncan admitted to seeing Alison the weekend she disappeared. Spencer is surprised to hear this and Hanna doubts if Duncan is telling the truth, but Aria believes his reaction to hearing Ali is dead was real. Garrett pulls away from the curb in a big hurry and the girls, besides Hanna, all receive a text from "A." They see Toby and Jenna across the street discussing something with the fire department. The girls all wonder if Toby is telling them about the night of the Jenna Thing.

The next day, at school, Mona makes some jokes (and threats) about Jenna to Hanna, unhappy about how she poached Noel Kahn right out from under her. She expresses that Spencer should be grateful she's not with Toby anymore, but Hanna knows how much Spencer has been hurting, she isn't so sure. Mona tells Hanna that Spencer is really smart and helped her through a tough breakup. Hanna wishes she could get Toby away from Jenna for 5 minutes to talk some sense into him. Mona immediately formulates a plan.

She texts Toby and meets him in an empty classroom, pretending to be looking for a truck for her cousin. Hanna enters the room and Toby picks up on the scheme. Hanna tells him he can't let Jenna back into his life just because he's angry with Spencer. Toby tells her she has no idea what he's doing or why he's doing it and defends Jenna, his sister. Hanna asks if he's forgotten everything Jenna did to him. Toby pointedly asks if Hanna's forgotten what she did to Jenna, then walks out.

That night, Hanna shows up to Spencer's house while Spencer was returning the bag of Ali's things to Jason's back porch. They prepare a snack and Hanna hopes she didn't make things worse with Toby. Hanna accidentally sits on some newspaper and recognizes the First Lady's outfit as something she wore 2 years ago. Spencer realizes the paper Ali's trinkets were wrapped in was from over a month before her disappearance indicating Ali packed that stuff up herself well before her disappearance. They find certain passages within the newspaper to be highlighted. Spencer instructs Hanna to get the bag back off Jason's porch while she calls Aria and Emily. She pulls the other newspaper pages out of the trash.

When Hanna picks up the bag off Jason's porch, she hears a noise come from inside. She looks in the window and sees Jenna collapse to the floor. Hanna runs inside and drags Jenna out as Spencer arrives to help. Smoke pours out the windows then an explosion rocks the house. Hanna and Spencer stare in shock.

In the hospital, Aria fills in Emily and Hanna about the new information she got from Duncan—he flew Alison back to Philly Labor Day weekend and she didn't take the bus like they thought. Hanna's mom arrives and gives Hanna a hug.

The girls go to see Jenna in her room. Spencer and Emily think Jenna is going to accuse them of sending the text luring her to the house since Jason didn't send it. Jenna starts crying and says she doesn't blame them. She asks Hanna why she dragged her out. Hanna simply replies, 'You're welcome."

The girls gather in Spencer's bedroom to reexamine Ali's items. Hanna says they are the key to solving the mystery. They assume "A" must have lured Jenna into that house with the intention of killing her. At the bottom of the bag, Emily finds a torn postcard and Hanna finds a newspaper dated August filled with advertisements for events Labor Day weekend. An event in Rosewood is circled in red ink - a concert at the gazebo. The music box creepily starts playing on its own, startling the girls.

The next morning, Ashley hears a phone ringing and finds out about Hanna's secret phone, which Mona had given her. Hanna explains Mona needs to be able to reach her 24/7, which Ashley finds hard to believe. Mona walks in, picking up Hanna for school. Ashley gives her a warning and hands the phone back to her, suggesting she should sleep over if the crisis is really that bad. Mona then pays Mrs. Marin a compliment before leaving for school.

At school, Spencer finds out that Alison and "A" had been communicating via newspaper classified ads and had planned to meet in person. The girls realize the meeting place was on Spruce Street, near the creepy doll hospital. Just then, Jenna and Toby approach them. Hanna gets jumps right to the chase, bluntly asking if Jenna can see or not. She shakes her head no and she says that Hanna saving her made her realize that people can grow, so now it's her turn. She is sorry and she wants to move on. Jenna then apologizes for hating them and for holding a grudge. She goes on to say she's never been the person they really needed to fear and walks away.

The girls discuss what just transpired. Aria believes Jenna to be sincere, but Emily doesn't buy her story, thinking she must be as angry as ever if the surgery failed. They ponder who Jenna may have been referring to, guessing Garrett, or Melissa. Spencer believes Ali had the answer and decides they must retrace her steps if they ever want to figure it out.

Mona marches up to Hanna in the hall, upset about the latest hex, er, text from "A" that says if she doesn't break up "Hanna and her hottie" she'll go back to being "a junior high nottie." Hanna lets slip she thinks Jenna may be sending the texts and mentions going to Brookhaven later. Before Mona can find out more details, Caleb shows up. When Hanna invites Mona to hang out with them that evening, Caleb doesn't look thrilled. Mona can't make it anyway, but promises to be there afterwards for their slumber party.

The girls go to the doll store in Brookhaven. There, they run into the owner, an older woman named Martha. They ask if anyone had ever bought a voodoo doll (the same as one Alison received), but Martha says they don't sell those. Inside they speak with a creepy young boy named Seth, who apparently has a "gift" that allows him to see things that haven't happened yet. He tells them that Alison was in the store two summers ago looking for a voodoo doll. He said he warned her against it, since a man and a woman with dark hair were trying to hurt her. The couple was not Jenna and Garrett as the woman was not blind. Martha sends him upstairs, but on his way out he says he's sorry for what happened to Alison, specifically citing her cause of death. The girls are visibly freaked out.

Later that night, the girls argue about the validity of Seth's claims. Spencer comes clean about her parents' belief that her sister could have had something to do with Alison's death. She also tells them about Jason being her brother. The girls are stunned. Spencer doesn't know what to think, but she knows Melissa had motive and opportunity to kill Ali.

At school the next day, Hanna decides enough is enough. They will trick Melissa into texting them, proving she is "A" once and for all. Hanna asks Caleb to help with the plan to trap "A." He does not like the idea, especially since it involves Mona, but ultimately agrees.

That night, Emily watches Melissa as she runs errands while Mona and Caleb pull up to a curb nearby. They make awkward small talk until Mona explains that though neither of them want to be there, they are doing it for Hanna. She describes how her close friendship with Hanna changed once Caleb entered the picture and admits that she had been jealous of their relationship. Emily texts Mona "Showtime," and they proceed to make out as Melissa walks out of a building. Caleb pulls away, but Mona assures him they are doing it "for Hanna" and kisses him again. Melissa definitely takes notice as she walks to her car. Hanna and Spencer wait in Hanna's bedroom for the text they know is coming. When it does, Hanna takes it as proof that Melissa is "A." Spencer looks stunned.

Downstairs, Hanna packs up her laptop to bring to the police. Spencer has mixed feelings about turning in her own sister, but Hanna insists it is the right thing to do. Emily arrives after driving Caleb home and agrees with Spencer it may be wise to get more proof; that Jenna and Garrett could still be involved. Emily suggests they show Seth the video from Alison's room so he could point out the couple who wanted to hurt Ali. Hanna thinks the idea is nuts, but Spencer points out that Seth somehow knew how Alison died, which was never made public. Mona arrives interrupting their argument. She goes upstairs to shower and Hanna agrees not to tell Mona what's going on. Hanna agrees to stop by the doll store on the way to the police station.

Hanna, Spencer and Emily find the door of the doll shop unlocked. The enter, calling out Martha's name. They find a box full of the voodoo dolls Martha claimed not to sell. The lights go out and a doll's voice begins chanting "Follow me, end up like me" on a loop. Instead of running away, the open a cupboard and find a bloody blonde doll half in a grave holding a shovel - recreating Alison's death! Things begin crashing to the floor around them as they try to run out, almost leaving Hanna's laptop in the process. Hanna grabs the laptop and gets out moments before the entire shelf comes crashing down.

They come back to Spencer's house and gather up all the items they are going to take to the police, including all of Ali's things, when they hear a noise downstairs. Melissa and Garrett are in the kitchen. He helps her lift the package she picked up earlier and then they kiss. She assures him that there is no way Spencer is turning in the video, thinking that she scared her into keeping quiet. There is a knock at the door. Two detectives enter and they ask Garrett to surrender his weapon. They place him under arrest for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis. Melissa locks eyes with Spencer, who has witnessed the whole thing with Hanna and Emily from the stairs.

In UnmAsked One week later, the girls are in Spencer's kitchen, watching the news. The local news station reports the arrest of Garrett Reynolds for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis. He became a cop in order to destroy evidence, page 5 the girls surmise. Melissa appears and tell the girls she always knew Ian didn't kill Alison, and never believed they did either, though she knows about "The Jenna Thing." If Garrett killed Alison, then he must have had a good reason. She helps herself to Aria's frozen yogurt and leaves the girls feeling more suspicious of her then ever.

They all receive a text from "A" instructing them to return the cell phone as a messenger delivers invitations to a masquerade ball along with a message from "A" that demands their attendance. Spencer is sure they can discover who "A" is before the midnight deadline because hide and seek is her favorite game.

Outside school, the girls discuss how smart and untrustworthy Melissa is. Spencer insists they overlooked a clue in Ali's bag. They change the subject to costume choices when Mona approaches. Mona suggests they all go shopping after school together. They all turn her down one by one, including Hanna, who lies about studying with Caleb.

Aria brings the girls to Ezra's apartment while he is out of town for a safe place to search Ali's bag. The girls look through his book collection and photo albums and plenty of comments. Hanna gets a text from Mona asking where she is since she's not with Caleb. They comb through the contents of Alison’s bag once more and find the clue they were looking for.

That evening, during a thunderstorm, they drive to the Lost Woods Resort. The innkeeper, a dead ringer for Norman Bates, taps on the window, scaring them on top of their already frayed nerves. Spencer asks for Room 1, the number on the postcard they found in Ali’s things. Hanna trips in the mud on the way to the room. Once inside the room, Hanna and Emily try to warm up while Spencer keeps an eye on the front office waiting for the innkeeper to leave. Aria volunteers to go with Spencer to get a closer look at the guestbook.

Hanna decides to take a shower to wash off the mud. Emily gets a call from Maya and goes outside to try to get a better signal, and closes the door. However she does not notice that "A" was behind her for a short time while she was showering. When Hanna gets out of the shower, she discovers the door of the room has been left wide open.

Later, the girls arrive at the masquerade together. They have 3 hours to figure out who "A" is and agree to split up for the next hour to investigate separately. A masked individual sneaks up behind Hanna and whispers in her ear. He corrects Hanna that his name is Romeo, not Caleb. Mona walks up and reveals she helped Caleb pick out his costume. Hanna thanks Mona and goes to dance with Caleb.

During the dance, Hanna happens to notice the Black Swan make an entrance. Aria and Emily reunite with Hanna and they are curious about the identity of the Black Swan. They see her talking to Jenna and Lucas. When they try to get a closer look, the mystery woman runs away, escaping out the back door which locks behind her. All she leaves behind is a feather from her dress.

Hanna tries to call Spencer, who has gone to the Lost Woods Resort again with Mona, but her phone isn't working. Aria makes the call instead as they realize Hanna's phone has been set to record every time it is turned on. Spencer covertly answers Aria's video call so that her friends can see and hear her conversation with Mona. The girls come to the realization that Mona is in fact "A," leaving Hanna in a state of disbelief that her so-called friend is "A." A quick-thinking Spencer drops the hint that they are headed to Look Out Point. Aria knows a shortcut and they race to get there first.

While arriving at the lookout point, Hanna careens towards Mona but at the girls' screams, slams on the brakes just before she strikes her down. Mona screams, runs and tackles Spencer and tries to push her off Look Out Point. They struggle and Mona slips and falls off the edge. The girls run to Spencer's side and stare in horror down at Mona.

Shortly after, the authorities and an ambulance arrive, surprisingly, along with Dr. Sullivan, and they discover Mona survived the fall. Dr. Sullivan comforts the girls, who are all visibly shaken by what has happened. Dr. Sullivan reveals that "A" blackmailed her by threatening her son, which is why she disappeared. Dr. Sullivan diagnoses Mona with a personality disorder which caused her to experience a sense of hyper-reality and omnipresence.

Later, the girls head to Emily's house to spend the night when an ambulance rushes past them. The police are waiting, and Emily runs up to her mom, who tells her that the police found a body… and they think it is Maya's. Emily is distraught. She falls into Spencer's arms and screams and sobs at the sight of the stretcher taking the body away while the girls try to comfort her.

In It Happened 'That Night', five months have passed since Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer found out about Mona being "A" and Maya's death. The girls are having a sleepover and discussing their summer plans: Aria has been taking photography classes; Spencer has been taking a full course load at Hollis; Hanna has been expanding her vocabulary and taking cooking classes with Caleb; and Emily has been constructing houses in Haiti. Emily has clearly not been taking Maya's death well, excessively drinking, and snapping at her friends when they try to take away the bottle from her.
 * -|Season 3=

Later, Aria and Hanna wake up to find Spencer and Emily missing and the door left wide open. Then, Spencer returns, saying she's looked everywhere for Emily. Hanna tries to call Emily.

They find her standing over Alison's grave, holding a shovel. The grave has been dug up, and Alison's body is missing from the casket. The other girls join Emily at the graveyard. A dazed Emily doesn’t remember a thing after getting so wasted at the sleepover. Spencer goes through Emily's phone and finds out that Emily had received a blocked call from somebody at 11pm, and from Spencer's phone at midnight, meaning someone was in Spencer's house, while they were all sleeping. That means it’s a setup for Emily to take the fall.

The girls decide to cover for Emily, so Hanna and Aria wipe any fingerprints off the shovel and bury it in the middle of the woods. On the way back to Spencer's house, they see Lucas drive off in the middle of the night. At Spencer's house, Spencer burns the clothes Emily was wearing so that there is no evidence against her. She then leaves a note to her mom saying they were at the lakehouse since that afternoon, providing them a solid alibi.

The next day, at the lakehouse, Spencer receives a call from her mother, stating that there were no witnesses, and relief spreads across the girls. Emily feels guilty, but the others comfort her saying that it was not her fault. They get their stories straight, and make a decision to pretend like last night never happened.

Later, Hanna and her mother are shopping, along with Spencer and her mother. When Hanna pulls Spencer away, they notice some people gossiping about them. Hanna tells them if they take a picture, it'll last longer and the women disappear, still whispering to each other. Spencer asks Hanna to go to a movie with her, but Hanna says she has to see Dr. Sullivan. Spencer is surprised to hear this and immediately worries that Hanna would tell her about last night. Hanna assures her that she wouldn't do that to Emily, or the rest of the girls since they were all there. When Ashley say it's time to go, Hanna almost leaves with a necklace from the store, but puts it back. Clearly, she has come a long way since her shoplifting days.

We then see Hanna going to visit Mona under the name "Rivers." So, she lied about seeing Dr. Sullivan. Apparently, Hanna has been doing this for weeks now. She tries to talk to Mona, but Mona does not acknowledge her presence. Hanna gets fed up and tells her that it's not easy for her to visit her. She is doing it because she wants to know what she ever did to make Mona hate her so much.

Just as she leaves the room, she runs into Wren, who is surprised to see her. She immediately asks him not to tell anyone about seeing her. She tells him that she has been visiting because she really needs some answers from Mona, but it's starting to prove futile.

During senior registration, Hanna and Caleb make plans to make dinner together later. Then Aria, Spencer and Hanna notice Lucas talking to a skinny brunette who resembles the Black Swan. It seems that he suddenly began shutting everyone out after the masquerade ball and turned "dark."

While Aria’s in the restroom, she sees a hooded figure in black sneakers outside her stall. Spencer and Hanna hear Aria’s screams and try to reassure their friend that Mona, a.k.a. "A," is practically in a coma at Radley Sanitarium and not coming after her. Aside from nightmares, Aria has also been having panic attacks. Hanna uses the word 'jubilation' and it actually helps to cheer Aria up a little bit.

While cooking dinner with Caleb, Hanna receives a call from Wren, who informs her that Mona may be making progress as a result of her visits. He encourages her to come back to the Radley. Hanna pretends she is talking to Spencer.

Later, the girls called to the police station. They are questioned by the police separately and all tell the same story about catching up at Spencer's lake house. Noticeably, Emily is missing.

Hanna pays another visit to Mona at the Radley. She tells Mona she will keep coming to visit if she gives her any indication the visits are helping. Mona turns her head and smiles. Hanna thinks she may have gotten through to her, until she notices Mona was actually smiling at the empty chair behind her.

At Spencer's, the girls have been swimming and worrying about Emily all day. Emily promises she stuck to the story when the cops questioned her, then tells them about the car. She determined that her subconscious may be blocking memories of the that night and anything could trigger it at any time. She shows them the text. Hanna insists it can't be Mona who sent the text and proves it by telling them about her visits to the Radley. Spencer then reveals a secret of her own.

Spencer takes the other girls to the Lost Woods Resort. She shows them the 3-D diagram she created on her computer in an attempt to recreate the lair as was before it was emptied. The girls admit that they lied to Emily. The day after Maya's body was found, the other girls returned to the Lost Woods to destroy the evidence which would get themselves and their loved ones in a lot of trouble, but the room had already been emptied. They discuss the likelihood that Mona had been working with someone else, who could have given Emily the massage and helped move Ian's body from the bell tower. Spencer believes this person to be the Black Swan, who must have been guilty of something or she would have no reason to run.

Just then, the Liars hear Spencer’s car alarm go off, prompting them to go outside, leaving Spencer's laptop alone in the room. The doors are wide open, and the seats and dash and trunk are covered in photographs of the girls at the cemetery in front of Ali’s open grave. The girls then receive a simultaneous text message : “Mona played with dolls. I play with body parts. Game on, bitches. –A."

In Blood Is The New Black, at school, Hanna is walking in the hallway when she sees Emily, Spencer and Aria run out of class. They follow Emily into the girls bathroom where she hands them the necklace with teeth on it and they think it Ali's teeth. Hanna says it's real teeth which Spencer asks how she knows this and Hanna says it's because she worked at a dentist office.

Just then they hear noises from outside so the four of them all run into one stall. Emily says she is sorry again for getting them into this mess but Hanna and Spencer assure her that they'll always have their backs and it's no ones fault. Spencer says that she'll keep the necklace in her locker but Hanna says their lockers are never going to be safe from "A." Aria takes the necklace and says that they should fess up to the police and their parents but they cant do that because they already lied and they burned the photos that "A" sent them. Hanna and Aria fight over the necklace but they drop it in the toilet. Spencer says she'll get it but Aria says to be careful because the bathrooms have senors. Spencer reaches into it but the bell rings making the toilet flush and the necklace is gone.

In the courtyard, Hanna, Spencer, Emily and Aria discuss this "New A." They agree that they need answers and that there is only one way to get them. Spencer sees Garret and Hanna goes back to see Mona. Hanna jokes by saying that they flipped on her for seeing her in the first place but now they want her to go back there. Aria says that Spencer was right when she said that Mona has never been working alone and there is more people involved. Hanna then says that she'll go back to see her after school.



Hanna goes to see Caleb in a classroom where he is working on something for the school. She jokes by saying the school should be paying him for what he is doing. Hanna lies to him and says she has to go to an appointment and asks if they can have a rain check on their dinner date. Caleb gives her a look and knows something is up but doesn't ask about it and says sure they can re-schedule. Hanna gives him a kiss and says she'll see him later.

At Radley, Hanna is visiting Mona. Hanna talks to her about the latest gossip at school with people like Bridget Wu and a some other people. Hanna asks her is Noel has come by to see her or even tried to talk to her but Mona doesn't say anything. Hanna then loses it and says that she owes her one because Mona could be in jail right now for trying to kill her but Hanna lets her stay here. Hanna then tells Mona that she has made her life a living nightmare and throws a chair against a wall. Wren then comes in and wants to know what is wrong but tells Hanna that the visit is over. Hanna then leaves the room but tells Mona that she is not the first person to hurt her, but she is not that last either.

Still at Radley, Wren gives Hanna a cup of coffee and tells her that Mona should be in a worse place then this for what she did to her and her friends. Hanna tells Wren that she is tired of losing people in her life and Wren confesses a secret of his own, he says that he has done a lot worse. He threw a bowl of soup across a room because his dad wasn't seeing him. Hanna is surprised to hear that his dad is a place like Radley. Wren gives Hanna some advice on how to handle everything and he tells her that she is having an "ambiguous loss.""

At Hanna's house, Hanna is on the phone with Aria who wants to know when she is going back to see Mona. Just then Caleb comes over for their dinner date and Hanna hangs up on Aria. He explains to her that the food place gave him the wrong meal but Hanna says it's alright while looking at the clock. He asks if she has somewhere to be but she says no.



During their date, Hanna is still looking at the clock and Caleb confronts her on it. Hanna confesses that she wants to go see Mona because she wants answers, but not informing him that she has already gone to see her before. Hanna also tells him that she is having an ambiguous loss, and Caleb wants to know where she has heard that before. Hanna keeps on pilling lies up and says she got it form the internet. Caleb then tells her that it's too late to go tonight so they'll go tomorrow to see her. Hanna is surprised that he would want to go and asks him why. Caleb then says that he loves her and doesn't want them sneaking around each other.

At Radley, Hanna and Caleb talk before she goes in. Hanna says that she'll be quick and Caleb takes her hand and says that he'll be right here on this bench is she needs anything. Hanna goes in and talks to Mona again. Hanna brings a make-up bag wanting to do Mona's make-up like Mona did for Hanna after her car crash. Hanna tries to talk to Mona again, but Mona still doesn't say anything. But Hanna says that she is not here to play beauty shop, she wants answers. Hanna is about to leave when Mona says something, "You're getting them again aren't you?" Hanna knows that she means the texts and wants more information. But Caleb comes in and says that visiting hours are over. Hanna says that this conversation isn't over and leaves with Caleb.

Hanna meets up with Spencer, Emily and Aria in the bathroom. Spencer tells them the information Toby told her, and says that he thinks Jenna can see. The girls are shocked to hear this and Aria wants to know what Mona said. Hanna tells them what Mona said and Spencer, Emily and Aria tell Hanna that she should go back there but Hanna says it's not that easy because Caleb is all over her. As they are about to leave, Spencer sees Jenna and pushes the girls back into the bathroom. The girls know that Jenna is coming in here and Spencer creates a plan to see if Jenna can see. Aria gives her the earring and Spencer puts it in plain sight where Jenna can see it. Hanna and Spencer go in one stall as Emily and Aria go in another one. The girls watch Jenna through the little hole. Jenna takes off her glasses, picks up the earring and looks at it. This then tells the girls that Jenna can see. Jenna leaves the bathroom and the four girls storm out of the stalls ready to get revenge against Jenna.

Hanna wants to slap her again and Aria wants to hang a sign. But Spencer says that they shouldn't out Jenna yet because they can use this to their advantage. Hanna, Emily and Aria give her questioning looks and Spencer says that Jenna doesn't know that they know that she can see. Spencer thinks they can use this to find out what Jenna knows and they will. The girls then smile because they're going to get answers from this.



In Kingdom of the Blind, Hanna is with Spencer, Emily and Aria in the courtyard as they are watching Jenna. They want to find a way to prove that she is lying about being blind and Hanna thinks that they should push a table in front of her. Emily asks if Mona had said anything about the texts but Hanna says no. When Spencer mentions Aria talking to Jenna, Hanna jokes by saying she'll trade her Mona for Jenna. The bell rings and the girls go back inside but stop when they see Mr.Hackett arguing with Lucas.

Hanna follows Lucas into a classroom and wants to know why Mr.Hackett is mad at him. Lucas tells her about the letter and how he has to give it to his parents because of his new bad attitude. Just then Lucas takes out a lighter and sets the paper on fire and puts it in the trashcan and walks away. Hanna tries to get the fire out by throwing some books on it but it doesn't go out. Caleb shows up and pours water on it and the fire is gone but he wants to know what was going on.



Caleb and Hanna go to a coffee shop where they talk about Lucas and how he used to be sweet. Caleb jokes by saying no guy ever wants to be called sweet by a girl. Hanna then says that he is now like a sour patch kid and then asks Caleb if he has talked to Lucas since he moved out but Caleb says no. Hanna asks if he can talk to him and Caleb says yes, but if she does something for him, and that is he wants her to stop seeing Mona.

The next day at lunch, Aria talks to them about talking to Jenna while Emily checks her English grade. When she says that she got a 94, Hanna says she wishes she was pulling 90's and also mentions that Emily shouldn't go all Spencer on her grades but Emily says that she couldn't have gotten that because she didn't even finish the test. The girls then think that someone, like A, changed the grade.



After Aria goes to Jenna's house, she meets Hanna, Spencer and Emily at Spencer's house to tell them what she found which was the note about the Cobb and headphones. The girls realize that they need to follow her in order to find out what it means. Aria steps out to take a call from her mom and Emily asks Spencer about her sister and her mom defending Garret. Spencer says that her mom believes he is actually innocent but Spencer also says that she thinks there is more to why she is defending him. Hanna tells them that she has been thinking about something but says she doesn't want to say it. Spencer jokes by saying she has to say it now and Hanna says that she thinks Garret is really the father of Melissa's baby. At first Spencer thinks that's like crossing over to the Twilight Zone, then realizes that Garret and Melissa became close before he got arrested.

Hanna ignores Caleb favor and goes to see Mona at Radley. She sees Mona maybe making some friends because she is reading to a group of people. But when Mona sees Hanna she stops to go talk to her. Hanna says that Mona has changed but Mona says that the doctors have changed her medication. Hanna also says that this place hasn't really changed that much and Mona says that she cant trust anyone these days, not even family. Hanna gives her a strange look and Mona also asks her if they found anything left of Ali's body. Hanna again gives her a questioning look. When Hanna leaves the room she was in, she hides behind a wall because she sees Lucas going in to talk to Mona but Lucas doesn't see Hanna.



Hanna then leaves Radley but when she walks outside she sees Caleb waiting for her. Hanna asks if he was following her but Caleb responds by saying he would have not known where she was going in order to follow her. Caleb also says that he thought they had a deal but Hanna says that Mona isn't dangerous anymore and that she just wants the truth about things. Hanna also lets it slip that Mona was the one who ran her over and Caleb is mad that he didn't tell him about that. Just then, Lucas walks out and Hanna wants to know what he was doing here. Lucas says that he wanted to see if Mona was really mental or not and Lucas says that he thinks Mona is faking because being in Mental Hospital is better than jail. Hanna watches as Lucas leaves and Caleb puts his hand on her shoulder watching him leave as well.



The next day, Hanna is with Aria staking out Jenna's house waiting for her to leave so they can follow her. Hanna mentions that Caleb may be scared to ask her anything and that he barely talked the entire ride back into Rosewood. Just then, they see Jenna get into a cab and drive off and Hanna and Aria follow her.



They follow her until the cab stop at a medical building. They see Jenna get out and go inside and Hanna wants to follow her right away. Aria says wait a couple minutes so Jenna doesn't know that they are following her. They then see a blue car drive by with Jenna driving it. Hanna and Aria look surprised and they call Spencer and Emily to know what they saw and what Jenna was doing.

Spencer and Emily meet up with Hanna and Aria at the place where they saw Jenna. They see her get out a gun store and Spencer wonders what she was doing in a gun store in which Hanna thinks it's for target practice. When Jenna goes back into her car, Hanna walks over to her car to confront her about her lying about being blind. Hanna says "What a sight for sore eyes."



Hanna, Spencer, Emily and Aria talk with Jenna in an alley. The girls cut right to it and ask Jenna that she can really see. Jenna says the surgery really did work but she wanted to pretend to be blind because of the fire. The girls give each other questioning looks and Jenna says that she thinks someone is after her, that's why she pretended to be blind. When Aria asks who is after her, Jenna responds by saying if she knew who it was, she wouldn't have to pretend to be blind. Jenna also says that it would be easier to track the person if the person thought she was blind. Jenna then asks the girls if the can keep this between them because she is still a target. At first the girls don't want to but Jenna says that they owe her.

In Birds of a Feather, Hanna is at the Grille with Spencer, Emily and Aria eating some cake. They start discussing who the "New A" could be. Aria brings up Lucas because he went to go see Mona but Hanna says he may be a the new bad boy but he cant be "A." Hanna mentions that they need to find out who the Black Swan is so they can get closer to "New A." When Melissa asks Spencer if she wants anymore food, Emily mentions that she looks good after her pregnancy. Hanna says she looks like a size 2 which is the Black Swan. Spencer says that she could have been the Black Swan because she lost the baby in June and the party was before that. Just then Jason walks in and has an argument with Mrs.Hastings. After he storms out, Spencer follows him as well as Hanna, Emily and Aria. The girls see the poster that Jason put up for the reward on the information on Ali's body disappearing.

Hanna meets up with Aria at school. Aria tells Hanna about her dad and how he is dating Meredith. Hanna asks if Aria's mom knows but Aria says no and that she is dreading telling her. Aria also mentions to Hanna about how her dad is changing due to the divorce and dating Meredith.

After school, Hanna goes to Radley to see Mona. When she signs in to see her, the nurse stops her and says she cant have visitors anymore. Hanna asks since when and the nurse says because her doctor says she cant anymore. Hanna says that she has been visiting her for the past few weeks so it must be a mistake. When Hanna says she'll just be a few minutes, a security guy stops her. Hanna then asks when she can be able to see her but the nurse says that Mona lost visitation rights. Hanna wants to know why but the nurse has no idea.

At Hanna's house, Hanna is on the phone with Wren wanting to know why she lost her rights. He tells her that she flipped out when a guy visited her. Caleb comes in and surprise her with two tickets to got see a band. Hanna is distracted with the whole Mona thing so she doesn't seem that happy. Caleb jokes that this was the part where she is supposed to jump up and kiss him and then asks her what is wrong. Hanna tells him that she cant see Mona anymore and that she is going to kill Lucas for seeing her. Caleb tells Hanna that he was the one that saw her and Hanna asks why he went there. Caleb says that he wanted to tell her to stop messing with Hanna but she started flipping tables acting like she was possessed. Hanna tells him again that Mona is locked in Radley so she cant hurt her and she also mentions that Wren thinks it's good that is she is seeing Mona. Caleb then asks why she is listening to some guy she barley knows over him. Hanna says she cant talk to him about Mona because he has already made up his mind about Mona and Hanna also says that she has to continue seeing Mona. Caleb throws the tickets in the air and walks away mad.

Aria comes over to Hanna's house as Hanna tells her about the fight she had with Caleb. Aria tells Hanna that she thinks she should tell Caleb about A because it's coming between them. Hanna asks what Aria is doing on her computer and Aria says she is looking for someone for her mom. Hanna asks why she hasn't told her mom yet but Aria says she is dreading it still. They look at some of the guys and Hanna jokes that her mom needs someone that doesn't look like a grape. Aria mentions that she needs a screen-name but Hanna says she gives lame screen-names. Hanna comes up with "Hot Mama." Hanna's mom walks in and Aria quickly closes the computer. Ashley asks what is going on because they don't keep secrets from each other anymore. So the girls show her explain they are looking for a guy for Aria's mom. Ashley gives her opinion on some of the guys too.

Hanna goes back to Radley to try to sneak in to Mona but is surprised to see Wilden. Wilden gives Wren a court order saying he needs to go in to talk to Mona. As Wilden talks to Mona, Hanna talks to Wren. Wren says that Wilden is still in there and Hanna wants to know what he is talking to her about because they have been in there for over an hour. Wren says it has something to do with Ali's body disappearing but Hanna says Mona doesn't know anything about that because she has been at Radley for the past five months. Wren says something about the judge looking into things and Hanna then asks if Wren can sneak her in to see Mona because she has one question and she'll be quick. Wren says he would help but his hands are tied because he got in trouble for extending Mona's visiting hours. Hanna says that she didn't know that he did that and Wren says that she thought she needed it. Hanna asks why he did that and Wren explains that he saw them together and thought they were connecting. Hanna then thanks him.

At Spencer's house, Hanna tells the girls about how Wilden had a court order to see Mona. Emily wonders what they talked about as Aria wonders if Mona told him about how they had something to do that night when Ali's body went missing but Spencer says that if she did, they would be in jail. Hanna mentions that they need to find out who the Black Swan is as Aria mentions that Spencer need to find out when Melissa lost the baby and Emily says she lied for a reason. Spencer then says that they know why Mona tortured them but why would her sister. Hanna says it was because she made out with her fiancée and broke off their engagement. Spencer says that was her but what about them. Aria says that Melissa knows about the video and placing her in Ali's room the night she died and that Melissa also fits the Black Swan costume. Spencer then grabs a set of keys and says that they are going to Philly to search Melissa's room.

Hanna, Emily and Aria hide behind something as they watch Melissa leave. Hanna calls Spencer, who is the distractor for Melissa so they can search her room, and informs her that Melissa left. Hanna asks if they should go in yet but Spencer says to wait because Melissa could go back for any reason and catch them. Hanna, Emily and Aria wait for Spencer to text but Melissa doesn't meet up with Spencer. So they girls decide to go in anyway. They search her room for anything relating to "A" or the Black Swan but don't really find anything. Unbeknowest to them, Melissa forgot something so she is going back. She texts Spencer who then texts her friends saying don't go in yet. Aria doesn't get the message as they still look for some stuff. They accidentally knock some CDS over and start to pick them up. Melissa starts to open the door and they realize the need to hide. The pick up the stuff and hide in Melissa's closet. As Melissa grabs her wallet and leaves the girls also leave the closet. Before the go out though, they see a bag that could hold a dress. When Aria opens it, there is nothing in there but Hanna finds a blue feather at the bottom that matches the one they found at the Masquerade Party.

Hanna and Aria show Spencer the feathers they found in Melissa's closet. The show her that they match the ones they found the night of the Masquerade Party. Spencer then says that she will talk to Melissa tonight in Philly for a reason as to why she was doing this. Hanna and Aria say that they will go with her because they're all in this together and Melissa has hurt them too. Spencer brings up that Emily gets off work at 8 so theyll all go then.

Hanna goes home and waits for Caleb so she can tell him about the "A" as she gets a text from "A." The text if a picture of a car crash as the EMT's jacket says "Montecito" and the text says "I'm everywhere, Hanna." Letting Hanna know that "A" had hurt Caleb's mom.

Caleb comes over to Hanna's house and Hanna asks how he is doing because of his mom. He says he is alright and his mom is fine. He also says that his mom says she felt like someone was trying to run her off the road. Caleb asks what she needed to tell him but Hanna says not to worry about it anymore. Caleb then says that he doesn't get it, first she says that she is keeping something from him and now she is telling him that she cant tell him. Hanna assures him that it's nothing as Caleb walks over to her tells her that he understood why she was lying to him last year to protect him but there is no more "A" and then asks if it's about Mona. Hanna asks if they can drop it and Caleb walks out. She asks him where he is going and Caleb says that he feels like she has been shutting him out for weeks. Hanna asks if he could just be patient with her but Caleb says that he been nothing but patient. Caleb then asks what is going on but Hanna just stares at him and doesn't say anything. Caleb then says that he cant do this anymore and Hanna starts to get teary-eyed as she asks if he is breaking up with her. He then says she didn't really give him much of a choice and walks out as Hanna cries even more.

Hanna is later with Aria crying into her lap about her break up with Caleb because she only did it to protect him from "A."

In That Girl is Poison, Hanna is at her house on her phone looking sad when her mom walks in and asks what she is still doing home because she should be at school. Hanna says she doesn't feel good and wants to stay home. Hanna's mom brings up Caleb's mom and asks how she is. Hanna doesn't know because Caleb won't return her texts. Her mom tries to cheer her up by saying their break up is just for now and who knows what the future will hold. Her mom also tells her the future won't hold anything if she doesn't go to school so Hanna goes to grab her bag. But Hanna's mom asks if she is going dressed like that, which is a t-shirt and some sweetpants. Hanna walks out the door and her mom leaves but Hanna goes back inside not going to school because she is too heartbroken.

That night, Hanna goes over to Spencer's house where Spencer talks to Hanna about Jenna's party. Hanna wants to know where her invention is but Spencer notices what Hanna is wearing and asked her if she came from yoga. Hanna says no she was just too depressed to work a zipper. They walk over to her couch as Aria comes over telling them about what Emily overhear at The Brew. Aria tells them about how Lucas was Laura assistant until she fired him for using the space for his own gain. When the girls think that Lucas drugged Emily, Hanna says that he cant be the "New A" because he can barley lift a chemistry book. Spencer wonders what this party if really for, a real party or just to get the four of them together so Jenna could drop pig's blood on them. Hanna says she won't be dropping any on her because who would want to go to this party. But Aria says she is going.

Following her moms orders, Hanna goes to the church and sorts the clothes. Her mom checks on her and asks how she is doing but Hanna just wants to go home. Hanna's mom tells her to finish sorting then she can go home. When Mrs.Marin talks to a man named Ted, Ted says that Hanna is a good worker but when they turn around she is texting someone.

Later, Hanna is still at the church sorting clothes when a new bag of clothes come in. She looks on them and sees a black jacket that looks familiar to her. She picks it up and puts in her bag taking it because she knows it. Ted comes over and asks how she is holding up and if she taking that jacket. Hanna says she wants to buy it and hands him a twenty. After he leaves, Hanna calls Emily and leaves her a voicemail saying she found the jacket Emily was wearing "That night."

Hanna goes to the hospital where she knows that Emily is there. Emily asks if she knows where Spencer is and Hanna explains that Wilden scared her a little bit. Hanna tells Emily about the jacket she found and how she thought that Spencer and Emily burned all her clothes from that night. Emily says they did but her jacket was missing when she got back to Spencer's and she wasn't wearing it in the graveyard. They then know someone took the jacket but they don't think it's Jenna because seeing how shes their new BFF why wouldn't she just give it to them. Hanna shows Emily the jacket and Emily sees the pink thread in the pocket meaning that the jacket is hers.

In The Remains of the "A" Hanna is with Spencer at the hospital setting the trap for "A." They look for the room that Garret's mom is in so they can leave the note. Spencer hands Hanna the note that Garret left so Hanna can copy the handwriting. Spencer asks how Hanna could copy the note and Hanna says she has been copying her mom's handwriting so she could get out of P.E. When Spencer asks if she really wants to do this, Hanna says she does because this A broke her and Caleb up. So Hanna goes into the room where Garret's mom is to place the note as Spencer stays outside to make sure no one goes in. As Hanna puts the note on Garret's mom wristband, his mom's heart stops beating. So Hanna runs out and her and Spencer run for the elevators.

Hanna goes to see Emily at work where she tells her about the plan for tonight. She hands her the address that she found in Mrs.Reynolds room before she her heart stopped beating. Emily jokes by saying she thought Hanna was afraid of old people but Hanna says that old people are scared of her instead. The address is Riverside and State St but that is not in Rosewood.

Hanna then goes to the church where she sorts more clothes. Ted comes over and says it's an interesting way to sort them because she sorted them by the seasons. Ted also invites her to the party that is happening, called the "thank-you" party at the church and it was a way to thank the volunteers who worked the clothing drive. Hanna says thanks but no thanks because she doesn't want to go. When Ted brings up that it's tonight, Hanna is worried because that ruins her plans for catching A because she thought the church would be empty tonight.

At the Grille, Hanna meets up with Spencer as Spencer explains her meeting up with Jason and how he doesn't know April. Hanna is surprised that Spencer told him about the N.A.T club and how they knew. They then discuss this April Rose and how they have to get to her before A does and how April may have the only thing that keeps Garret in jail. Hanna brings up that Maya may have found the tapes and that's why Garret had her killed and Spencer says it's possible. They also discuss how April could have a tape that Garret wants destroyed and Hanna finds it weird that A is taking orders from Garret but Spencer thinks it the other way around. Just then Aria comes in and they tell her about the plan for tonight. Spencer thinks it's a death trap but Hanna says that she is just going to see who shows up.

Hanna goes back to the church where she sorts more clothes. Her mom comes by and picks her up and Hanna is ready to leave. Her mom looks for Ted and she informs Hanna that he is her date for the party tonight. Hanna is worried because her mom is going to be there where she set the trap for "A." Hanna says that her mom cant go because she is going to be there. Her mom says that they can drive together but Hanna lies and says that Toby is picking her up. Her mom is surprised that one of her daughter's best friend's boyfriend is taking her. Hanna says that she is bringing him to scare off some guy that was hitting on her.

At Spencer's house, Hanna tells Spencer about how she needs Toby to be her date. Spencer says that it's bad enough that she canceled on him and now she has to ask him to take her friend. Hanna says she is sorry that she couldn't have come up with a better lie but words were coming out before she could stop them. Hanna is also mad that this whole plan is falling apart. Spencer brings up that she is taking this seriously because she has been in the library so much she is on a first named basis with a homeless guy. Hanna then sees a folder with a police symbol and asks Spencer what it is. Spencer says it's a police camp folder and she was thinking that maybe Garret and April went to camp together. Hanna asks Spencer if she thinks another cop helped him get away with murder, like Wilden but they say it's another possibility. Spencer brings up that when things go bad last year, she used to think what life would be like if she never met Ali and how right now her biggest concern would be were to go to college. Hanna says she thought about that too. But Spencer says that if she never met Ali then she wouldn't have been friends with Hanna, so Spencer valuing her friendship with Hanna, says that she can have Toby for the night. Hanna says that they took down Mona and they can take this person down as well.

At the church party, Hanna and Toby arrive together. He asks her if she wants any punch but she says no thanks because she doesn't drink anything that's not srink-wrapped. Toby asks her who he is here to scare off and Hanna points to a bunch of little kids. They met with Hanna's mom and Ted in the middle of the dance floor as they all greet each other. Ted says that Toby is a lucky man but Hanna says that they're just friends. Hanna sees Wilden there and pulls Toby aside.

Toby finds Hanna near the food place and asks her to dance. At first, she doesn't but then she does so they go to the dance floor. Toby asks why he is here and Hanna says to scare off those kids. But Toby says that the kid is scared of his own shadow. Toby wants to know why they are even here because the party is really boring and he has had naps more exciting than this party. He also asks her if "in a way" it's related to Caleb breaking up with her. When Hanna sees a door opened, she thinks "A" is here so she goes and checks it out.

Hanna goes into the room looking for "A" when her mom comes in to talk to her. Ashley talks to Hanna about Ted and how he is a pastor so they cant be together because of her record. Hanna talks about how no one is perfect and how they may still have a chance together. Hanna also brings up that no one is like an angel so she just give it another chance.

Emily and Hanna meet up with each other at the church party. Emily tells Hanna about how Holden may have been the one to have drugged her that night. Hanna is surprised because Holden doesn't really know anything about them. Emily also explains that she saw the tattoo on his wrist that was the same one from a flashback she got. Hanna rushes back to the organ wanting to get there before "A" does.

Hanna goes inside and crouches down behind the organ as she hears footsteps coming in. She thinks it's "A" but when they face appears it's Wilden holding the note Hanna wrote to Garrett's mom. Wilden says that he found this note and knows she wrote it because she is here. He also knows that the note is fake. Wilden accuses her and her friends of helping Garrett out but Hanna says that they aren't. Wilden thinks it was a good cover story, that they want everyone to believe he killed Ali and Maya but really they want to help him. He also tells her that she keeps creating more problems while her mom tries to help her. Hanna denies everything he says to her and then leaves.

In Crazy, Hanna is visited by Darren, who tells her that he needs a sample of her blood. Hanna seems very worried, as it might be her blood and she might be a suspect of Alison's murder.

Later, Hanna comes home with Aria and finds an Ouija board on her kitchen counter. She grabs it and cuts herself. On the other side of the board is a note from "A" that says "See how easy it is for me to get your blood?" Hanna begins to panic, telling Aria about playing Ouija with Mona a few nights before they found Alison's body.

Hanna flashbacks to that night. Mona suggests they ask the spirits what happened to Alison DiLaurentis. The board tells them: "A-L-I-V-E" before Hanna supposedly sees Alison on her patio.

Hanna meets with Mr. DiLaurentis and says she's sorry for what she did, but swears she had nothing to do with what happened to her grave. He cuts her off and says a friend would never do what she did. That night, Aria and Hanna decide to sneak back into Radley. Hanna sneaks into Mona's room and tells her that she's the only one who knows what's going on.

Hanna tells Aria that after the night she thought she saw Alison on her patio, she called Alison's mom and told her Alison was still alive, three days before Alison's body was found. They look up and Mona is gone, along with the keys. However, the two find Mona in the children's ward, combing a porcelain doll's hair. They ask her who's trying to hurt them, but Mona keeps repeating:


 * "Miss Aria, you're a killer, not Ezra's wife."


 * "Where were we? Maya's away sleeping sweet; until Garrett's all rosy, count on me."


 * "No one to save Alison from evil."

Hanna tells the rest of the girls about the code she and Mona had when they were younger and Alison was missing (taking the first letter of every word). "Where were we? Maya's away sleeping sweet; until Garrett's all rosy, count on me." translates into "www.massugar.com". When the girls visit the website, a picture of Maya shows up on the screen. Underneath, it asks "What's the magic word?"

In Stolen Kisses, Hanna is with the rest of the girls trying to hack into Maya's site, with no luck. Spencer thinks Mona is playing them and the site is not real, but Hanna has a different view because she wanted to believe that Mona is actually trying to help them. After Emily got off the phone with Nate, Hanna asks her if it's okay with her that they try to hack into Maya's site. Emily feels like they don't have a choice, if they want to figure everything out.

Hanna and Spencer go to Spencer's house to try to hack into the site, still with no luck. Hanna thinks they should just give up, but Spencer still tries. Spencer knows that she needs help with hacking into the site, so she asks Hanna if Caleb can help. She wouldn't tell him what it really is, just tips on how to get around it. Hanna agrees to it because at least one of them can be in the same room with him. Just then, Hanna gets a text from Wren saying they need to meet.

Hanna meets Wren at The Brew where he tells her that Mona is being moved to a facility in New York because a visitor has been passing her pills, so they want better security on her. Hanna is upset because Mona doesn't know anyone in New York, so she'll be all alone. Hanna asks Wren if he can try to change the hospital's mind. Just then, Caleb walks in to get a coffee. Hanna walks over to him as they look at each other. But Caleb spots Wren, so he walks out.

At school, Hanna meets with Spencer, Emily and Aria because A sent Spencer a text about Mona leaving and Hanna being next. Hanna explains that Radley is trying to move Mona to New York because someone that visited her, was passing her pills. They think that person may have been Lucas, since he has been acting strange.

Hanna goes to Radley where she talks to Wren about Mona's move. Wren was unable to change their minds about moving Mona, but he thinks that Hanna will be able to change their minds. Hanna doesn't know what she will be able to say, but Wren tells her to tell them what she told him. Wren explains that if she doesn't, Mona will go to New York, so Hanna agrees to talk on Mona's behalf.

Hanna talks to the hospital board to try to get Mona to stay in Rosewood. At first, Hanna uses note cards to convince the board, but she sees that it's not working. So, Hanna starts talking about her friendship with Mona. She knows that Mona did terrible things, but Hanna still owes Mona for their friendship. Hanna wants to help Mona get better and cares about her, so she pleads that if they send Mona away, no one will be there for her.

Hanna waits to hear the final verdict if Mona can stay or not from Wren. Wren says that based on Hanna's speech, the board is no longer sending Mona to New York. Hanna is so happy that she gets to stay, that she kisses Wren on the lips. Wren thought they she would be pleased as they both smile. Hanna is happy, and then gets a text from Spencer.

Hanna goes over to Spencer's house where she looks at Maya's site. There are a ton of videos and pictures of Maya on the site that they need to look through. Aria thinks they should not look at this without Emily, but Spencer says she wasn't picking up her phone. The last video they look at, they see Maya talking to the camera about facing her fears while police lights flash in the back.

In The Kahn Game, Hanna is at school when she sees Caleb in the hallway. They look at each other for a moment before Caleb approaches her. Caleb was wondering if she has seen Spencer because he has the new long in for Maya's site. Their conversation is quiet and short as Hanna asks if his mom is doing better and she is. Caleb then leaves and Hanna gets a text from "A" about keeping Caleb safe.

Hanna shows the text to Spencer in the courtyard. They discuss what it means and if has something to do with Mona. Spencer asks if Wren said anything about how she is doing, but Hanna quickly brushes it off saying she hasn't talk to him. Spencer tells her that she can't go because it's not safe and Hanna promises she will not go. Hanna and Spencer see Emily and Paige together looking really happy. They agree not to tell Emily about Maya's site because she looks happy.

As Hanna leaves school, Wren calls her but she ignores it. Just then, Emily confronts Hanna about being able to get into Maya's site. Hanna said that they did get into it a few days ago, but didn't want to bother her with it because she looked happy with Paige. Hanna gives the log-in information to Emily so Emily can make peace with the whole thing and just be happy.

At home, Hanna looks at the message "A" sent her about Caleb. She decides to go to the Grille and lies to her mom saying she is meeting Aria. Hanna sees that something is up with her mom, so she calls her on it. Her mom tells her that the police came by with a court order about Hanna's blood being on the anklet. Spencer's mom is on it though, so she wouldn't worry.

Hanna waits at the Grille for "A," but Caleb shows up. She wants him to leave, but he tells her to get in the car. Caleb admits that he sent the text about him to her. Hanna gets in the car as the drive into an alley. Hanna is freaking out because Caleb doesn't know what any of this means, even though he thinks it means she can stop lying to him. Hanna furiously gets out of the car and explains that this new "A" is more dangerous than ever because s\he ran over his mom and possibly killed Maya.

Caleb continues to talk about Maya's site and if they look on that, it could lead them to "A." Hanna doesn't want to go down this road with him again, but he asks if she is prepared that this new "A" could be someone close to her again. Hanna admits that none of this has been easy because she misses him a lot and it has made her do crazy things. Caleb tells her that he is going to help her take down "A," and he is not asking for permission. Caleb than grabs Hanna as they make out.

In What Lies Beneath, Hanna is helping her mom move things around on their patio when she finds a crumpled,damp note. She calls her friends over so they could see the note, but she cannot read it because parts of it got washed out. But the note was to Emily saying Maya wanted to meet her someplace because she wanted to show her something. The girls wonder what she needed to show Emily and they think it may be evidence that could keep Garrett in jail.

Hanna goes to The Brew with Emily as she looks at Maya's site trying to find clues to see if she can figure out where Maya wanted to meet Emily. Hanna sees Wren come in and he talks to her. Hanna hasn't been in to see Mona lately so he was wondering if everything was alright. He tells her that when she does come back, maybe they could grab coffee. Hanna explains that their kiss, can't ever happen again because Spencer is her best friend and it's too soon for her to see anyone.

Hanna goes back to her house to find more clues on Maya's site. She printed the pictures out to get a better look at them. Emily comes in and asks Hanna why she is obsessing over this. Hanna admits that Caleb knows about A, so she is doing this because of Caleb. Hanna and Emily find a clue in two pictures that is a sign, and when they put the pictures together, they realize that Maya was at Noel Kahn's cabin.

Hanna and Emily go to Noel's cabin not realizing that there are security cameras around them. They looks around the cabin, which is trashed because there was a huge party there. Emily is surprised that Maya would even come here because she didn't think it was her style. Hanna and Emily find a room that has a hidden bookshelf in it and when they open it, it was a passage way to another room. They go inside where they find a purse which belonged to Maya. In the bag there was a birthday card Emily wrote to Alison, a ticket to San Francisco and a knife with LJ carved into it. Just then, the door to the room slams shut and locks them in there. Emily tries to get some service, but there isn't any. Hanna and Emily start breaking down the windows when Hanna gets glass in her leg. Emily ties a scarf around it, as they climb out the window escaping A.

Emily brings Hanna back her house as she tells her that she needs to go the hospital. Hanna won't go there because she doesn't want to explain it to her mom. So Emily calls Wren to take care of Hanna. He stitches her leg up asking how she got the cut. Hanna lies saying she got cut while cutting carrots. Wren says he'll give her some antibiotics but she shouldn't have them on an empty stomach. He sees what she has in her fridge, which she doesn't have much.

Hanna and Wren eat in her kitchen as she walks over to the counter to put her leg up. He helps her to the counter and puts her leg up, as they look at each other for a moment. Wren tries to kiss her but Hanna backs away saying it is getting really late and he should get going. Hanna thanks him for saving her and a rejected Wren says anytime and walks out.

Hanna goes to Spencer's house with Aria as Spencer shows them the video that Noel sent her. Hanna watches Noel and Jenna go inside Noel's cabin as Maya comes from the woods to go to her bike. While she is walking there, someone grabs her and takes her. The time-frame on it is around 1:14 a.m and Spencer notes that Garrett got arrested around midnight, meaning Garrett, Jenna and Noel did not kill Maya.

In Single Fright Female, Hanna is at home with Spencer trying to cover her wound. when she gets a call from Wren, Spencer then asks Hanna multiple questions about her and Wren but she says it's nothing. After Ted comes over to see Ashley, Ted tells her about the flash drive that Spencer threw at Ian. Hanna begins to worry that Jenna will go after her because of the video with her and Toby. Hanna tries to take it but is caught by Ashley

When Ashley questions Hanna if it's was Mona's videos and she says yes. she also tells her that Mona is better now as they both leave.

We later seen Hanna on the computer talking to Caleb from across the room ad Jenna comes in and Tells her that her time is up and she leaves.

Hanna approaches Jenna and tells her that the Flash drive was found and Jenna ignores her. Nate then asks Hanna whats going on with Emily because she's acting weird after the kiss and Hanna tells him she's gay. She then informs Nate that Jenna was faking her blindness.

After Spencer's encounter with the snake, she tells Hanna and Hanna thinks it was Jenna while Spencer thinks it was Paige because she said "Snake" when talking to Emily about Paige. Hanna then gets a call from Emily and em tells her that the bag is missing.

Hanna and Spencer goes back to the Boutique to help CeCe and Hanna says she got Emily to go there. When CeCe comes back with a dress, Hanna takes it and goes in the back. while changing, Caleb is there and they begin to make out until CeCe comes back with Shoes.

Hanna and Spencer are folding clothes and Spencer thinks the knife is in Paige's bag. they search through it and the search is over when Emily catches them. Hanna is now sure that Emily hates them more than before.

In The Lady Killer, Hanna, Spencer and Aria discuss how to tell Emily that Paige is "A" and has Ali's body. Hanna thinks it is weird that Paige would drug herself, but Spencer says that is the perfect alibi. When Emily comes over, she thinks she is getting an apology from them for going through Paige's bag, but instead her friends tell her that they think Paige is "A." Hanna shows her the earring they found in Paige's bag, but Emily still doesn't buy it and leaves.

At school, Hanna finds Aria in the courtyard and tells her that Emily wasn't in first period. Aria has a gloomy look on her face because Emily was totally right on calling her out on lying. Aria tells Hanna that she went to go see Maggie, Ezra's ex-girlfriend, and it turns out he has a son. Aria also tells Hanna that she hasn't told Ezra yet either. Hanna tells her that Ali was wrong when she said secrets keep us close, as Hanna thinks secrets tear people apart.

Hanna meets Spencer and Aria in the courtyard during lunch and tells them that Paige wasn't in Spanish. Hanna thinks that Paige is with Emily because neither of them are in school. The girls think that they should tell Emily's mom about Paige to keep Emily safe because Emily isn't listening to them. They agree to tell Mrs.Fields after school, but they get a text from "A" about standing down to keep Emily safe.

Hanna, Spencer and Aria go to Hanna's house as they discuss their next move. Aria sees that Hanna has a concerned look on her face and Hanna was just worried about Emily. She buried Maya and now she is stuck with some physco. They get a text from "A" with a picture of the three of them with the shovel from "That Night", but Emily isn't in it. An also wants them to bring Maya's bag to Ali's grave tonight. They hear someone come upstairs but it was just Caleb, who is going with them to take down "A."

Hanna finally gets Emily to pick up one of her phone calls. Hanna tells her that Garrett's trial is the highlight of the town and that even though it may not seem like it, they are there for her. Emily says that it doesn't seem like they are and tells Hanna that she is going with Nate to the Lighthouse Rock Inn.

Hanna goes back to her house where she finds Caleb and finds out he was planning on bringing a gun. Hanna tells him to get rid of it or else he can't come. She doesn't want him getting hurt but Caleb wanted to bring it because this "A" ran over his mom. Hanna still tells him to get rid of it, so he puts it in one of her drawers.

Hanna, Spencer, Caleb and Aria go to Ali's grave to meet with A face to face. Caleb gives Hanna a phone that she can just talk into, so he can hide behind the bushes to warn them when "A" comes. When "A" doesn't show up, the girls realize something is wrong. Hanna tries calling Nate, but there is no answer as Spencer looks up the Lighthouse Inn's address. There are two Lighthouse Inn's close by, so Caleb splits up from them to look at the other one.

On the way to the Inn, Hanna calls Caleb to make sure he is alright. They say their I Love You's before hanging up. Hanna, Spencer and Aria arrive at the Lakehouse to look for Emily. The place is pitch black so Aria thinks that it's empty but Spencer sees a light inside. They go inside to look around, but the place is empty. Hanna, Spencer and Aria leave to go to the Lighthouse that Caleb went to.

When they get the Lakehouse that Caleb went too, Hanna sees Caleb has been shot and is going into the ambulance. Hanna begins to cry over Caleb as Spencer and Aria try to comfort her. Emily sees that Hanna is upset so she runs over and hugs her.

Hanna, Spencer, Emily and Aria go to the hospital for news on Caleb's condition. Garrett and Mrs.Hastings comes in and Mrs.Hastings tells Emily that she is sorry about what happened tonight, but she let an innocent man go free. After she leaves, "A" calls the girls and says "I owe you Emily," and when they look up Garrett smiles at them.

In This Is A Dark Ride, Hanna walks home with Spencer, Emily and Aria as they discuss their plans for the Ghost Train. Hanna is worried that her and Spencer are going to be dressed as the same thing because the girls decided to surprise each other with their costumes. Just then, the girls see a coffin with Alison's name on it. Emily wants to go yell at the owner, but a person jumps out and scares Emily.

Hanna meets Caleb in the dentist's office supply closet so they can make out. She tells him that he kisses good for someone without a spleen, even though there is just a whole through it. They kiss again but they knock down some toilet paper. Hanna and Caleb discuss how no one has heard from A in a while, so they maybe can not have to hide their relationship.

Hanna arrives at The Brew dressed as Marilyn Monroe. Lucas takes her picture and tells her she looks beautiful. Hanna then finds Aria, who is dateless as well. Spencer finds them as Aria asks her if Garrett ever came back, but he didn't. Noel makes a joke about his costume in front of the girls and he starts to choke. Spencer and Toby help him, but he was just faking it. After Emily and Paige arrive, the girls go onto the shuttle for the train.

When the girls get on the train, Hanna makes a comment that all the lights are turned off. Just then, Adam Lambert appears and starts to sing his song "Cuckoo." Hanna and her friends start to dance when someone dressed as The Phantom of the Opera touches Hanna. Hanna, not knowing who it is, tells the person not to do it again or else they'll leave in a bloody stump. Hanna goes outside to get some air when The Phantom of the Opera  follows her. It turns out to be Caleb who wanted to surprise her, and they begin to make out.

On the train, Spencer finds Hanna, who wants to know where Aria is. Hanna hasn't seen her, so they begin to look for her. They find Aria's purse and cell phone on the chair. They see the A message that says "Guess who won't be making it to the end of the line." Spencer tells her what Garrett told her about Aria's dad and Ali. They decide to split up and Hanna goes to find Caleb for extra help. She tells him there is something wrong as she sees Caleb taking off his mask near the drinks, realizing the person she is talking to isn't Caleb. When she takes off the mask, the person is disguised as Ali.

Hanna meets up with Spencer as Emily tells Paige about "A." They still don't know where Aria is, but they have Caleb and Toby looking for her too. Spencer asks Hanna if she is okay, but she isn't. Spencer shows Hanna the fingernail that the Queen of Hearts left as the attacked Spencer. Hanna and Spencer think it was a male who was behind the costume.

Hanna, Spencer and Emily continue to look for Aria but find a dead end, until they see Aria's necklace on the ground. Hanna busts the door down with a fire extinguisher and they get to Aria before the crate falls off the train. Hanna, Spencer and Emily comfort Aria only to find Garrett's dead body was next to her.

Hanna, Spencer and Emily wait on the train to make sure Aria is alright. When she comes out, she tells her friends that Garrett was lying about seeing her dad with Ali the night she died. The police aren't letting anyone leave because they need statements. Noel approaches the girls because he want them to tell the police what really happened so they can all go home. Toby starts a fight because Noel was attacking Hanna, Spencer and Emily and when he pushes Noel into the table, Alison's body bag comes out.

in She's Better Now, Hanna is sleeping and is awaken by Mona. Mona tells her that she is scared to go back to school and ask Hanna to be by her side, by Hanna says that she's not defenseless as she tortured them the last two years. while they are talking, Regina knocks and ask if someone is in there and Hanna says she's reading.

in the Morning, Regina is cooking breakfast and tells Hanna that she has a muffin basket and she tells Regina it's from Mona. Regina tells Hanna about a cousin who was sent away for four months and came back just fine which Hanna questions if people really can change.

Later, Hanna walks up to Aria Emily and Spencer and tells them that she'll be around for Mona. Later in class Meredith catches Aria texting (possibly to Hanna) and when Meredith takes the phone and asks aria to stay, Hanna stays behind by her side.

When Hanna catches up to Mona, she opens up her locker and there is a cow brain in it. Hanna walks up to Caleb and asks him if He can talk to Lucas, she thinks that Lucas was stabbed by Aria on the Halloween Train because he is limping and Caleb agrees.

Hanna and Emily walks down to the basement to see what Creepy Harold is doing and they find that he has all of Mona's properties from the Lost Woods Resort. she then texts aria and tells her to meet at the Brew. When Aria,Emily,Hanna, and Caleb meet there it is revealed that Mona lied to Hanna bout being forced to go back to school, she begged the school to come back. When Aria finds it hard to tell Ezra about his son, Hanna says that if you don't tell him soon then the boy's going to be raised without a dad and looks at Caleb.

Later, Hanna and Regina are watching an apology video that Mona released. when Lucas comes over, Hanna asks why is Mona back at school and Lucas tells her that she has been roaming around town for a while. they both admit to missing each other. Hanna and Regina arrive to the 10k and Hanna tells Aria and Spencer that she thinks Mona was on the Halloween Train. They later meet up at the basement with Emily and takes Alison's diary. when They all leave the basement (including Toby) they witness the fire.

in Mona-Mania!, Hanna is with Spencer and Emily as they go to the school at night to see what else Harold has in his office as they talk about Byron and Alison. Hanna volunteers to wait outside while Spencer and Emily go in. when Emily can't find the light switch, a black hooded figure runs away but Hanna sees the dirty sneakers. They then realize that a switched Ali's diary with a fake one.

The next morning, all of the girls are at the brew talking about Bad dreams, Harold's office being empty and Meredith blaming them for what happened at the 10k. Mona then walks up and tells the girls that Harold stalked her because they use to talk at the Lost Woods Resort and he began to like her. She also says that Harold was the one responsible for the fire, they don't believe her story and Hanna says there is more to the story.

Later, Hanna walks up to Lucas and tells him that she knows it was him in the harold's office but all Lucas says is that he was looking or something and he shouldn't be seen with her. He says that Hanna should watch out for Mona and that he couldn't stop her, which is revealed that he was the one who started the fire in the previous episode. He was trying to scare Mona but burned Meredith by accident. Hanna tells him to not do that again and he says as long as Mona is back no one is safe.

The next day at lunch, the girls are talking about Mona going up against Spencer for team Captain. Hanna says that if Mona is up to her old tricks then they should stay away from her. Mona then walks over and says that she thanks Spencer for not being angry and she can't have any access to the Internet. Hanna thens says that they know she snuck in and out of Radley so why would they believe her. Mona then starts to cry and the girls leave the table.

Hanna, Emily and Aria goes to Aria's house and talk about what she talked to Ella about the night Alison died. Aria tells them that Byron knows how Ella can get after too many wine so she questions: did he want her to sleep all night to meet Alison? Emily says that in the diary Byron was supposed to meet Alison when she came from Georgia, they look for the note which is missing from Aria's boot.

Hanna then goes to Lucas house as Lucas says he's leaving rosewood High for good and ask him if Mona was blackmailing him, he reveals that Mona is still blackmailing him and has been since the Masquerade Ball. he then says that he got an envelope from Jason and when he told Mona he was done, someone tried to run him over with an SUV. he says it was Mona (When it was really Toby).

After Spencer loses to Mona and she celebrates at the Brew, Hanna walks in from getting a text from Spencer and asks her if Mona cheated. Toby is still at Dinner so Hanna drives Spencer home, but before she leaves she tells Mona that she knows she is up to no good and still lying. She also says that all the times she visited her in Radley was  a waste of time and that she doesn't want to see,hear or know her.

Hanna and Spencer are at Spencer's house as Hanna gets a text about her making a big mistake of cutting Mona off. Hanna says that she's not going to be afraid anymore and that Mona had it coming, but Spencer says that she doesn't have to hide behind A, she can just do it in the open.

In Misery Loves Company, Hanna comes over to a sick Aria's house as Emily and Spencer are already there. She brings things that would help anyone that is sick. They talk about whether or not they can trust Meredith, Aria keeping the pages in a safe place until Byron comes back and if Byron did intentionally hurt Alison then that's a secret Aria can't hide.

At Hanna's house. she asks Caleb what dress should she put on for her interview for Corin. he tells her to try one on but when she leaves something she stops and overhears caleb talking to someone telling them that they need to put an end to Mona's game. when she ask who was that he says it was his mom, and she tells him not to do anything stupid.

At the courtyard, Hanna walks up to Emily and Paige and asks Emily if they can talk. she asks Em if she can follow Caleb because Spencer is busy with her surprise anniversary for Toby, she has the interview and Aria is sick. she also says that her and her mom use to do it with their dad and if it was Paige she would do it for her.

We next see Hanna walking to the interview. when she looks at herself in the window she sees a blonde girl with the Vivian Darkbloom red coat on watching her, when she turns around the blonde girl is gone. When Hanna walks in the store the lights go out and we see "A" running past. Hanna runs from "A" as they both go through mazes of Mannequins. "A" hides behind one and knocks Hanna down and drops the key. After "A" leaves, Hanna gets a text that says "Next time you'll be faceless" and she picks up the key.

Later at Hanna's, Spencer, Hanna and Emily talks about corin moving the store about a month ago. Hanna thinks it is Mona because of cutting her off at the end of Mona-Mania! and so does Spencer but Emily thinks that it was one of Mona's associates of an A-army. Hanna doesn't think Mona would threaten her like that but she does think Mona is involved. Hanna gives Spencer advice about the dinner as she leaves.

Hanna and Emily are about to walk into a pharmacy as they notice Meredith asking for pills, when Meredith picks up like five boxes of pills they search what kind it is. They realize that the pills she picked up were sleeping pills and they turn around as Meredith leaves. they try to call Aria (unknown that Meredith has it) and it goes straight to voicemail.

Later that night, Hanna and emily goes to aria's house which is unlocked and they go upstairs to her bedroom. when they call, Meredith stands behind them and asks what are they doing out in the storm. when Hanna ask where aria is, Meredith leads them down to the basement only to lock them down there with an unconscious Aria.

After aria wakes up, they devise a plan to give Meredith the paper and then take her down. when Byron finds them down there he tells them that He didn't kill Alison but as soon as he walked away Melissa came outside on the phone, he tells them as long as Alison went missing, the longer he felt he didn't have to bring it up.

in Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno, Hanna is at home talking To Caleb on her laptop. when Ashley walks in she asks how did she hurt her arm but Hanna says she fell in gym. Ashley then asks her if it's been difficult seeing Mona everyday at school and threatens to call Vice Principal Tamborelli but Hanna says she can handle Mona and just leave it alone.

Walking to the Brew, Hanna and Aria questions Spencer about the anniversary. when Hanna asks if it was a surprise, Spencer says it was a big surprise (to Hanna the surprise was the dinner, to Spencer the surprise was the reveal of Toby being A). when Aria asks if she was with Caleb she says he's been acting weird. Spencer then tells them that she has to get to class.

At the Brew, Hanna and Aria meets up with Emily and Emily shows them the biology book that she found the night before belonged to Alison that Maya put away in a box. while they are reading it they realize that Alison was writing to someone about the "Beach Hottie". they also find out that whoever Alison was writing to is someone they know and that they are also talking about Toby.

Later in the courtyard, after Aria gets off the phone with Ezra, Hanna tells her to just go now and talk to him. walking away, she overhears Paige on the phone talking to someone referencing that putting the wet brain in Mona's locker didn't help. the caller is revealed to be Caleb and she tells him she'll be there by 7.

Later, Aria calls Hanna and Hanna tells her that she is following Paige. she planned on telling them but Ezra showed, and she tells aria that she has to go and aria tells her to be careful. Hanna finally finds Paige talking to Shana in a lesbian bar. while spying on Paige, she gets a drink from a girl that's watching her across the floor. when Paige and Shana leave she runs to another spot and finds herself dancing with the girl who ordered her drink but still spying. just then, another girl walks up and makes a rude remark to Hanna and throws a drink at her (apparently she liked the girl that liked Hanna). the owner walks up and asks for Hanna's ID.

At the police station, Hanna meets up with Emily and tells her she got arrested for underage drinking. when Emily ask was she at a club she says it's was a club but more of a bar. Wilden walks up and takes the biology book as evidence that a man may have wanted to hurt Alison because she thought she was pregnant (revealed from CeCe to Emily), Hanna asks her what is she think and Emily thinks they can end everything. when Emily goes to get coffee and a napkin, she stops and Hanna asks her whats wrong and they realize that Wilden took a photo in Cape May (was it the same summer Alison was there?).

Ashley has picked Hanna up from the station and asks why was she at a bar. Hanna tells her that she was following Paige because she knew Paige and Caleb were devising plans to bring down Mona. she also tells her that she thinks Paige may be talking to someone else but Ashley tells her to stay out of it and to go wash her hair.

In Dead To Me, Hanna is at the brew with Spencer, Emily and Hanna as they talk about the picture of Wilden in cape may. just then, Jason walks in and tells them that Alison will be buried again but in the mausoleum and that the keepsakes they buried with her are missing. All of the girls (minus Spencer) accept the invitation.

Hanna is with Aria at school talking about them two being the only ones who have received a keepsake from Ali's grave. Hanna suggest they throw them away buy Aria says she isn't sure because A is going to do something if they do. Aria then goes to Ezra's apartment and Hanna leaves.

Hanna goes to Aria's house as aria tells her about Wesley and that she is going to cook for Caleb so he can go to his aunt's house. Hanna asks aria what does she plan to do with the earrings and aria says she is going to keep them.

Hanna and Caleb goes to his aunt's house and looks through the boxes with Caleb's uncle Jamie Doyle. Hanna asks Caleb how long has it been since he seen Jamie and he says it's been a while. Hanna asks Jamie what happened to Caleb's dad and he says that his dad left because he wasn't ready to be a dad. after looking through Caleb is ready to leave, but before they leave Jamie gives Hanna a picture of Caleb as a baby. At Hanna's house, Hanna shows Caleb the picture and the man holding had a ring on (the same ring Jamie had on) and Caleb storms out.

That night at the mausoleum, Hanna is with Jason, Aria and Emily as they wait for Spencer but she never shows. they are all in front of Ali's tomb and describe how creepy the place is. just then, Spencer walks in and tells Jason about Alison being pregnant and Wilden possibly being the father. Hanna, Emily and Aria then leave angrily at Spencer. while walking they say that something is wrong with Spencer after her break up. Emily then has a flashback to "That Night" and tells them about the blonde girl in the red coat, Hanna thinks it may have been Alison but Emily is sure that she is in charge.

In What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted, Hanna is at school talking about Spencer, who has skipped class, and Hanna tells them to just give her some space. Aria reveals that Hanna locked herself in her bedroom for two weeks and ate only Eskimo pies. Hanna corrects her and states it was four days and skinny cows. She goes to visit Caleb's uncle, Jamie, and they talk about his and Caleb's relationship. Hanna and Caleb get into fight about him going to meet his father. Just before she leaves to meet Jamie alone, Caleb decides to go with her since it would be a lot easier. They wait and are fixing to leave when Jamie comes in. Hanna talks to Ashley about getting Pastor Tad to hire Jamie to work on the bell tower, so that he would stay in Rosewood longer. She and Caleb are waiting in the church to hear if Jamie got the job - which he did- and when they leave to go order pizza, Hanna puts a $5 dollar bill in the offering box (which has a pair of dice stamped on it). When the pizza arrives, Jamie begins to pull out money for pizza, Hanna notices that same $5 dollar bill, indicating that Jamie stole it from the offering box. She gets an SOS text from Emily and arrives at the hospital with rest of the girls. When a nurse states that the patient, Jason, is missing, the girls race to his room to find him gone and his neck brace and IVs are on the bed.

In Hot Water, Hanna is at the Brew with the girls when Detective Wilden shows up. She reveals that they know about the boat he had with CeCe and Ali. Hanna, walking with her mom, sees Wilden forcefully put CeCe in his car and shares a look with him. Ashley notices and Hanna tells her about Ali may have had a relationship with Wilden and Ashley tells her to stay away from CeCe. Hanna stalls Shana, while Emily gets information at the Queen of Hearts, by talking about the outfit and Little Boy Blue, Emily gets it and they leave. She is with Emily and Aria talking about Aria's kiss with Wes. Hanna and her mom go to place where Ashley hit Wilden, only to find him gone.

In Out of Sight, Out of Mind Hanna comes home with Ashley discussing Wilden's wearabouts. Later, her and Emily are at Toby's apartment looking for clues about Toby being on the A-Team and where he is. Hanna though is watching the news looking for information about Wilden. Emily then gets angry at her for not helping and Hanna apologizes when she sees how upset Emily is. Then they find a parking pass with the name E. Lamb. Emily says that was the name he used to get into Radley. Hanna suggests talking to Toby's parents. Later all of the girls are at the brew talking when Mona comes in. Aria and Hanna are at Ezra's apartment watching Malcolm and talking about Toby. Hanna recalls when Toby brought back Dr. Sullivan the night Mona is revealed to be A. She finds that to be suspicious and points out that going to Radley is better than going to jail. Then, Hanna sees a police car, panics and leaves. When Hanna gets home, she can't find her mom and finds Wilden's police car in her garage with the tape of what happened. Later she is seen with Aria after telling her everything that happened with Wilden. They push the car into the lake, getting rid of any evidence. After Hanna gets home, she finds her mom and she says she thought she saw Wilden and that she drove by the scene and his car is gone. Hanna pretends like she doesn't know where the car is. The next day, all of the girls but Spencer are in Emily's room wondering where Spencer is. Then they talk about if Toby is really dead or not because of the funeral pamphlet Emily got with a note saying "Toby is no more -A."

In Will the Circle Be Unbroken? In the opening scene, Hanna, Spencer, and Aria are wondering where Spencer is and decide that they will all search for her after school. Melissa comes with over with the principal. Melissa is panicking because she can't find Spencer either. The principle asks if they knew where she was and they all said they didn't.

Later, Hanna comes into the kitchen and finds Ashley looking in the newspaper for any information about Wilden but Hanna tells her if there was anything, they would be at their house. Ted then calls but Hanna picks up the phone and against Ahley's wishes, scheduals a date with him for coffee.

Later, Hanna and Ashley go by the church to see Ted, who is happy with Jamie's work. Wilden then walks up to them. Both Hanna and Ashley are shocked but Wilden pretends like nothing happened. Wilden tells them he took off a few days to fish.

The girls meet up at The Brew and talk about Spencer. Emily tells them Melissa saw Spencer in Radley and that only family can see her for now. Then A sends them a picture of Ashley getting pulled over by Wilden the night he was hit.

When Hanna gets home, she tells Hanna she wants to cancel her seminar in New York because now Wilden is alive and has something over them. Hanna suggests to stay over at Emily's house. Ashley eventually agrees.

The next day in the school bathroom the girls talk again. Hanna suggests they pretend to be Spencer's cousins to be able to get into Radley to visit Spencer. Aria says no one will believe that. Emily chips in that they have to find out why she is absolutely certain that Toby is dead. Aria says that A has been turning the screws for so long and that one of the girls was bound to snap a string. Aria adds that she just didn't think it would have been Spencer. Hanna says that she did, and that there's a downside to being too smart. Aria tells Emily she was never the weakest link, that Spencer was. The girls run into Mona in the bathroom. She asks about Spencer. Aria tells her she's the reason why their friend is Radley. Mona pretends like she doesn't know anything and Aria threatens her before getting called into the principal's office.

That night, Ashley and Hanna are at Emily's house while Ashley says goodbye to Hanna. As soon as Ashley pulls away Wilden pulls up in his car. Hanna tells him to go away and he asks her to tell him where his car and keys are. He says that's all he wants and if she gives it to him he'll leave them alone.

In I'm Your Puppet, Hanna, Emily, and Aria are allowed to see Spencer in Radley. Hanna tells Spencer they found a body in the woods and they think it was a hiker. It wasn't Toby though because they found it in a different place than where Spencer was and the person they had been missing for a while. Spencer is still saying that Toby is dead. After trying to talk about what they will do when Spencer comes home, Spencer tells them she wants to stay longer and that she feels safer in Radley.

After Emily and Hanna get home, Hanna is worried because Wilden knows where she is staying while Emily is stressing about Spencer.

At school the next day, Hanna and Caleb are talking outside of the school. Caleb is happy Jamie got the job and talks about how him and Jamie are more alike than he thought.Hanna seems unenthusiastic and is still worrying about the church money she saw that Jamie had. Then, Ella walks by and starts watches them.

Back at school, Hanna is taken aside by Mrs. Montgomery, who needs to speak with Ashley. Hanna asks her what's going on, and Mrs. Montgomery explains that the church's bell has been replaced to one about $8,000 less in value. They suspect Jamie took it, and Hanna is told not to tell Caleb. While she's out to dinner with Jamie and Caleb, she receives a necklace with a gold angel in thanks from Jamie, and is skeptical about it. After she puts it on, Jamie receives a call from Pastor Ted. He goes outside and then comes back in and says that he was just fired.

Later, Hanna, Aria, and Emily are dressed up like candy stripers so that they can sneak into the morgue and take a picture of the body they found in the woods so they can prove to Spencer it isn't Toby. Aria is standing outside to keep watch and make sure nobody will catch them. Emily and Hanna go inside. While Emily is checking the tags to find the hiker, Hanna is complaining and not helping. When they find the right bag, they unzip it and see the fake Ali mask covering the face. The mask is just like the one the fake Caleb was wearing in This Is A Dark Ride. They take off the mask and see the body is just somebody they don't know. After hearing something, they put the mask on the table and run out of there.

Caleb and Hanna are together and Caleb says that he knows Jamie is innocent. Hanna then confesses to Caleb about the money with the dice she put in the church box then later sees Jamie with the same bill. Caleb believes her and when he goes to get refi;ls on their drinks, A sends Hanna a text after we hear a bell in the background confirming that A was the one that framed Jamie for the bell. Caleb reads the text over her shoulder. They get to Hanna's house and Jamie comes in. Caleb confronts him and yells and him, and Jamie seems confused, but leaves when Caleb tells him to. They cut off ties, and Caleb is hurt that his father betrayed him again.

Hanna is at Aria's house later and is afraid Caleb will never forgive her after finding out A set him up. Emily burst in and says they found another body and it's right where Spencer says it was. The man is in his late teens or early twenties. The girls are all worried this time that is Toby.

In A Dangerous Game, he show opens with Hanna, Aria, and Emily in Spencer's kitchen. They discuss about the second body found in the woods being Toby, but the police have sent it to the state coroner's office so there may be hope. Spencer comes downstairs, seemingly hopeless, and invites them to a party on Friday that her parents are throwing to celebrate her release from Radley.

The four liars discuss a flyer in the hallway advertising a babysitting job for Malcolm. They speculate about the hooded figure who kidnapped him and claimed to be Alison. While the girls are quick to blame Mona, Spencer suggests that Mona wouldn't have taken Malcolm because it was too obvious; the A that took him seemingly wanted to be caught, but Aria says he is off-limits. When Aria walks away, Hanna takes the flyer with the intention of getting the babysitting gig. Shana approaches the girls and asks if they will be going to the swim meet.

Ezra hires Hanna for the babysitting job on a trial basis. Hanna babysits Malcolm and has him play "guess who" with photos on her phone. A photo pops up of Ali and Spencer that Hanna has never seen before, and Malcolm identifies Spencer as the "Alison" that took him to the puppet show.

Hanna was dressed in the coat as a way of testing to see if Spencer was really on the A-team. Spencer tells them how she joined, but Mona is the only one who knows who's in charge. She explains to them that the party is a setup and that she sent the photo of her and Ali to Hanna so she would find out. They're going to take advantage of the situation to try to find out who Red Coat is on Friday.

The girls get ready for the party the next day while a hooded figure records them. In the the lodge, Hanna, Aria, and Emily sneak up on Mona. Someone locks the building from the outside and sets the lodge on fire. In her panic, Mona reveals that she doesn't know who Red Coat is.

Later, we see someone in a red coat pulling the liars out of the burning lodge. Hanna looks up and it is Alison. As they are coming to, Mona runs over and asks if anyone else saw her, exclaiming that it was Alison that saved them from the fire. Emily and Aria are in disbelief because Alison is dead, but Spencer comes and confirms that Alison is who she saw in the woods. We see the four liars and Mona driving back to Rosewood. Mona explains that she was there the night the A-team stole "Ali's" remains, but she isn't the one who drugged Emily and she never saw Red Coat's face because she was wearing an Alison Mask, telling them that Red Coat wanted to join forces with her when she went to Radley and "took [the Liars] from her." They come upon Wilden's police car that Hanna and Aria previously pushed into a lake. The video recorder is playing the incident where Hanna's mom ran over Wilden, but this time they see that afterward, Jenna and Shana rushed over to his body and carried him away. They notice that something is strange with the trunk. Right then, the Liars and Mona all get a text from A - "You're mine now. Kisses -A" and the writing is in all red. They open the trunk and gasp in shock.

'A' is for A-l-i-v-e
 * -|Season 4=

Hanna, Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Mona open the trunk of Wilden's police car and gasp in shock. They show us what is in the trunk. It is a dead pig. After digusted looks leave their faces, Spencer realize that Mona is gone. Aria thinks she set them up so they go back to the car and decide to leave. Hanna then sees Mona in Wilden's car. She is trying to remove the footage of Ashley running over Wilden. After that they all go back to Spencer's house. Emily and Aria are ready to destroy Mona in Spencer's living room but Hanna tells them to knock it off. Spencer then tells Mona to confess. She reveals to them which crimes she did commit and which she didn't, including that she did not push Ian off the bell tower, but she wish she knew who did. She also reveals that Jenna knew Shana before she came to town and that she thinks Shana is in love with Jenna. Mona also states that the two of them are afraid of Melissa.

Then next morning they all wake up and can't find Mona. She then comes in with some coffee saying she went to get them breakfast. Mona says she is determined to know who Red Coat is. She takes the girls to her lair. She reveals that she was the one in the fake Caleb costume and that Wilden and Melissa were he Queen of Hearts. But right before Melissa can take off her mask A starts deleting the files. They then hear little girls asking where Alison is. They go out to see what is happening. They say Mona's friend Alison gave them the dolls. One was named Aria, Emily, Hanna, Mona, and Spencer.

Hanna and Emily are in Emily's room in the next scene. Hanna is on the phone. Mona has asked her to pick her up after she drops off the lair. Pam comes in announcing that Jessica DiLaurentis has moved back into their old house.

Later that night Hanna is driving to pick up Mona and she is talking on the phone with Emily. She tells her that her mother built a shrine to Ali in her old bedroom. Hanna suggests that maybe Ali wants her old house back. Hanna arrives then so she hangs up with Emily. Hanna asks Mona if the lair will be safe because there are things in there that could take them all down. Mona says she hadn't thought of the two of them being an "us" in a while.

Later the next day at school Hanna talks to Mona. She says neither her or Emily could sleep that night. They make a date that afternoon to go shopping. They come home later that night in Hanna's kitchen with bags. They talk about Caleb and briefly about Noel. After Mona says she should go Hanna tells her she had a good time. Mona shoots her down immediantly saying she knows Hanna is only pretending. Mona gives Hanna the chip of Ashley running over Wilden.

Later the Liars arrive at Wilden's funeral. They decide to split up and find the casket because Spencer believes there is something in it. Later, Hanna gets a call from her mom. When she answers it though, Spencer is the one to have called her. The girls don’t know what this means. Is Hanna's mom the next target? For now they decide to focus on the funeral. Someone else is attending the funeral but the mystery woman isn’t removing her heavy veil. Not even when she goes into her car. A new detective is on the scene and he’s suspicious why the girls attended the funeral of a man who practically stalked them. Emily claims they’re supporting their city's police department. The four girls and Mona receive a text from A, and Emily is sent a video showing the girls stealing the footage from the Wilden's police car. Will anyone believe them if “A” sends in her footage of the girls at the crime scene?

At the beginning of Turn of the Shoe Hanna and the other liars are at the Brew, discussing The Lady in Black and Melissa's. Emily and Hanna agree that Melissa is the Woman in Black while Spencer is using food to see if the geography is even possible for the person who jumped out of a plane could save Aria, Hanna and Emily from the fire. Hanna is annoyed Spencer keeps trying to confinscate her mozz stick as a "plane". Hanna and Aria get into an argument about if it was Ali who saved the girls from the fire. Hanna states that they never saw a body at the funeral. Spencer is also a bit skeptical if it even was Ali that she saw coming out of the plane. Mona comes into the Brew where the girls are and says that she has been thinking a lot about the Ali thing and Hanna then accuses Mona of putting Hanna’s mom’s (Ashley) phone in Wilden’s coffin. Mona says no and says she will do anything to prove that all the girls are in this together, so Spencer says to take them to A's RV. The five go to where the RV is and find the gate unlocked and the lair is missing. The liars blame Mona but she denies moving it. Hanna and Spencer leave in one car while Emily and Aria hang back to keep an eye on Mona, inadvertantly witnessing her attacked by A and the girls are nearly run over.

In the morning Hanna comes down the stairs and receives a text from Aria saying that Mona found her car dumped behind the school and is freaking out. Hanna walks into the kitchen and Ashley talks about her time in New York. Hanna says that she went to Wilden’s funeral and asks her mom how she thinks he was killed. Ashley says that Wilden had more enemies than friends, and that one enemy decided to do everyone a favour. Hanna then gives Ashley her phone and said that she found it in the mailbox. Ashley is acting skittish, and looks at it in surprise and tells Hanna that she must have left it at the hotel desk.

After school Hanna and Aria are walking down the street talking about the Mona incident and how Hanna is now scared that A is trying to frame her mom for murder. Hanna says she wants to know; who put the phone in the casket, who set that tape of the girls outside Wilden’s car, and who stole Mona’s ‘A Mobile’. She thinks it is Jenna, Melissa or Shana. They see Shana sitting outside The Brew and Hanna then walks over to her and confronts her about knowing Jenna and asked why she wasn’t at Wilden’s funeral. Shana says that she was at a swim practice. Hanna also confronts her about how Shana was friends with Wilden, and Hanna blurts out that she knows that Shana and Jenna helped Wilden when he was run over. Hanna and Aria then walk off. When she gets home, Hanna finds her mom's high heels covered in mud and questions her about it, but Ashley just avoids answering.

Hanna is looking for Spencer when Jessica DiLaurentis sees her and calls her over. Hanna has an erie feeling someone is watching them from the window in Ali's Mom's house. Hanna hears a voice that sounds like Ali's and Jessica says it's Ali's pet bird Tippi. Hanna asks Jessica if she ever saw Ali's body. She says the yellow blouse was enough. There is a flashback to when Ali asked her mother about letting her have a sleepover in Cape May with the other girls, and she says no. Ali then holds her breath, making her mom angry, and she continues to hold it until her mom gives in and says she can have the sleepover. Hanna tells her that Ali never asked them to sleep over at Cape May and Jessica says she is not surprised since she found beer bottles at the Cape May cabin. She figured Ali was running with an older crowd, saying it was probably a boy. She gives Hanna the pet bird saying she already has enough voices in her head.

Aria and Spencer are talking at the Hasting's house when Hanna then walks in with Tippi. She says the bird probably knows more about what happened to Alison that night than anyone else, and it talks a lot so it might say something. Aria and Spencer think Hanna is losing it. They keep talking and they mention the high heels Mona was talking about and Hanna suspects that they were her mom's. All of a sudden Tippi says "hey board shorts, miss me?" (same guy as Beach Hottie) and then sings a song.

Hanna goes home and asks her mom if she was in New York the whole time she was gone and her mother says of course. Hanna asks if she came back to have it out with Wilden. Ashley says she did not kill detective Wilden.

Spencer is searching things about Toby's mom while the bird keeps talking and singing. She calls Hanna to come pick up the bird because it's driving her crazy. But then Spencer notices that after Tippi sings the song, she says "hello?" Spencer realizes it is not a song, but instead a phone number dial tone. Aria, Spencer, and Hanna call the number that matches the dial tone that Tippi was singing, but no one answers. The area code is in York County. Aria says they should go record Tippi singing the phone number, but when they go in the room, Tippi is missing, and the window is open. A stole Tippi.

"Cat's Cradle" starts out with Hanna , Aria , Spencer, and Emily at The Brew  discussing Tippi and how  is connected to the bird because the bird is connected to, Alison is connected toWilden , and Wilden is connected to Ms. Marin. Hanna states that her mom did not kill Wilden and the girls know that this is the truth. Emily brought notebooks and journals that she found in Mrs. Dilaurentis ' house that were next to the bird's stuff. In the box of notebooks, Hanna finds a mask. They look over and see the owner of The Brew, Zack on a date with Aria's mother, and Aria asks if it is weird to be jealous of your mother's love life, but Aria says she is seeing Jake tonight. Then, Melissa walks in The Brew. The girls are shocked that she is back because they thought she was gone for good after they found Wilden. They wonder if what Mona said about her being the other Queen of Hearts is true or not. Spencer goes up and talks to her sister.

Caleb is back in town from the trip to see his dad . Hanna asks him how it went, and he says that he told his dad he was sorry for accusing him of taking the bell from the church because they found out it was someone else did it. Caleb says he got along well with his dad and things might be OK. Hanna seems upset and Caleb knows why, and he tells her that people know her mom didn't kill Wilden. Hanna says A will make her look guilty, and they plan to find a way to prove that Ms. Marin was really in New York at the time.

At home Hanna asks Ashley about her activities in New York. She says it was all meetings and conferences except Friday night when they marched them off to the Broadway show Anything Goes. Later, Hanna visits her mom at work and sees flowers on her desk and asks where they are from. Ashley says they are from the bank for everyone who went to New York. When Ashley steps out of the room Hanna finds the Thank You card from the flowers in the garbage and realizes Ashley lied about going to the show. When Ashley comes back, Hanna throws it in the trash and storms out of her mom's office.At home, Hanna's mom tells her that if anyone asks her about it, don't lie, just don't say anything.

Hanna talks to Caleb about her mom not being in New York, and Caleb says all they know for sure is that she wasn't at the play. Hanna says she's going to end up without a mom or a dad, and Caleb asks if Ashley talked to Hanna's dad about what is going on, and she says no because her parents only communicate through attorneys. Caleb says it isn't a bad idea to talk to an attorney about this before Ashley gets into trouble. Caleb goes to find Mr. Marin at his office and tells him what is going on. Caleb tells him that Wilden was giving his ex-wife and his daughter a hard time and now he's dead. He tells them Hanna is worried he will try to make Ashley look guilty. He says they need help: Ashley is going to need a lawyer and Hanna needs to know that her dad is there for her.

Hanna goes to the Police Department to find Emily's mom, but she is not there at the time. Hanna notices a map of pictures on the wall in another office and goes in to see that Detective Holbrook has been tracking the whole entire situation to find who killed Wilden. Holbrook sees her there, about to take a photo of the board, and tells her to step outside. Hanna asks why she is up there. He says lots of people are on the board: people that knew him and people that didn't even know they knew him, and they just go through and eliminate people from the list. He says she has nothing to worry about and Hanna points out unless you're the last one on the list. They see Melissa come in and Holbrook goes up to her and takes her into an office.

While looking at the mask, Aria and Emily  notice a mark on the back of company that made it - Hector Lime's studio. They call Hanna to come over and she says it's the same type of mask that Mona had. Hanna insists the girls go to the mask studio, even without Spencer, since A waits for no one. The studio is creepy and Hector is even creepier. They ask him about the"Alison" Mask and he says he put an ad on the internet asking for a beautiful model to make a mask and Alison came. Hector agrees to tell the girls information in exchange for Emily letting him make a mold of her face for a Medusa mask. He tells the girls that Ali wanted masks because she wanted all her friends to look like her. Hector also says that Alison told him to break the mold when he was finished, and he did. While he is working on the mask for Emily, Hanna snoops around the studio.

Outside, Hanna shows the girls a mask that she stole that she found in the studio that looks like Melissa. Hanna later gives the mask to Spencer. Melissa tells Spencer that she saw Hanna at the police station and asks why she was there. Spencer says Hanna was wondering the same thing about Melissa. Hanna goes home and talks to her mom through the bathroom door. Ashley apologizes to Hanna. Ashley seems nervous and upset.

EscApe From New York Hanna, Spencer and Emily hold a distressed Aria back as Ezra is being loaded into the back of an ambulance. Hanna tells Aria that they can’t do anything to help him right now.
 * -|Season 5=

Outside a convenience store Spencer hands Hanna a burner phone, telling her she knows what to do. On the phone, Hanna tells the operator, “the guy who just got shot at Bank and Hudson is Ezra Fitz. Yeah, I think you should send a cop to the hospital because I saw what happened and I don’t think this was a random thing”. As Hanna gets off the phone Aria asks if the police are sending someone to the hospital to guard Ezra, Hanna reassures her they are, “yeah, I heard her typing”. Emily asks if they’re sure they want to split up and Spencer tells her a wise commander takes measures to always let his opponent react to the wrong set of circumstances before Hanna cuts her off, telling her they get it, “we’re decoys”, they don’t need a history lesson. As Aria and Alison start walking away, Hanna tells them to wait and hands the gun she kept to Aria, “just in case”. Spencer and Hanna start walking in the opposite direction of Alison and Aria, but Emily lingers as she watches Alison walk away. Spencer tells her if they want to get to the hospital first, they have to go now, to which Emily reminds them that A is always one step ahead. Hanna tells them if A sees them at the hospital first, they might actually pull their plan off.

Arriving at St Andrew’s Hospital, Hanna takes Spencer and Emily in the direction of the surgical waiting room, and they spot A making a phone call in one of the corridors. In the waiting room, Hanna asks what they do know and Spencer tells her they wait. After Alison’s name is paged to the emergency department, the girls watch as A walks past them and into an elevator, and Spencer suggests them to take the stairs.

In a playground, A steps behind Alison telling her it’s over, but Alison tells he/she that it’s not, and Hanna, Spencer and Emily step out from various places around the playground, “I guess you don’t read Sun Tzu, bitch”. After Alison sprays deodorant in A’s eyes, the four girls find themselves surrounded by multiple people claiming they are A. As the police drive past and break the flash mob up, Alison tells the other girls A was one step ahead of them.

On the phone to Aria, Hanna asks if she’d like them to go back to the hospital, but Aria tells her she’s blending in, and the five of them may be waving a red flag. Hanna says Emily is right in them needing to find somewhere to stay, “we can’t just stand out here in the street like sitting… ducks”.

Alison takes Hanna, Spencer and Emily to a Theater, and Hanna makes the comment, “well, if you wanted to impress someone with a wow moment, this would definitely be how you do it”. Alison tells them that Ezra didn’t bring her here to impress her, this was kind of his special place. Picking up a rifle from the fireplace mantle on the Theater stage, Hanna tells the girls “this is a real gun”, before Emily takes it off her. Hanna asks Alison if she thinks they’ll be okay until morning, Alison tells her she’s stayed over a few times and they open until noon. Spencer’s stomach rumbles loudly and when Alison asks what they sound was, both Hanna and Emily tell her “Spencer’s stomach” in unison. At the concession stand, Hanna looks at the packaged snacks telling the girls that “nutty chews can count as a protein and gummy bears as a fruit”. Spencer says she was that hungry she was about to eat the foam out of the seat cushions; Hanna says she saw that episode, and so did Emily. When Alison asks what show they’re talking about, Spencer tells her “Freaky Foodies” and asks if she’s seen it. Hanna tells Alison that Spencer’s obsessed with the show, and Spencer reminds Hanna that they watched an entire marathon together. After Alison walks away to make a few phone calls, Hanna follows her but is unable to hear any of the phone calls.

On the stage, Spencer asks Hanna and Emily if it feels as though Alison is already shutting them out again. Hanna shushes Spencer, and when Spencer asks why, she’s sleeping, Hanna tells her “she’s Ali”. Getting up off the floor, Hanna walks over to where Alison is sleeping and waves her hand over Alison’s face before confirming Alison is indeed asleep. When Hanna utters “from my lips, to God’s ears”, Spencer asks her when became religious, and Hanna reminds her that her mom is dating a preacher. Emily asks them to imagine what life would be without A, and Spencer asks when they last time any of them had a hobby. Hanna says that she’s never had a hobby, but wouldn’t mind taking up a sport, which surprises both Emily and Spencer. Emily asks Hanna which sport, and Hanna tells them she’s always liked Spencer’s field hockey skirt.

Hanna and Spencer rush into the dressing room where Emily and Alison are, and Hanna explains that Aria is trying to call but they can’t hear her. Alison tells Hanna to tell Aria to call the house line.

Alison tells the girls she doesn’t have the passport or ticket anyone, she gave it to someone who needed it more. Exasperated Hanna asks her “who needs it more than you?”, but Alison tells her it doesn’t matter. Hanna tells her no more secrets, “you were wrong before. They didn’t keep us together”. As the girls run out onto the stage, the lights in the Theater go out and Shana walks onto the stage with a gun. Shana tells them they she thought she had them all locked in the lodge, but Alison was late to the party. Hanna tells Shana that she’s sick, “like Mona was. We can get you help,”, however Shana tells her that she’s not like Mona, and this isn’t a game. After Aria knocks Shana off the stage, Hanna embraces an upset Alison.

Whirly Girlie

Hanna and the other liars arrive back in Rosewood with Alison, where they all agree Alison needs to tell the Police everything. As a group, they walk across the street to the Rosewood Police Department.

Hanna, digging through the fridge for something to eat, is being questioned by Ashley about knowing Alison was alive. Hanna doesn't want to talk too much about it, and when Ashley presses, Hanna snaps, telling Ashley the only way Alison can move on is if people stop asking questions.

Hanna calls Aria and asks her who she think sent Alison the text message. When Aria says she doesn’t know anything about the text message, Hanna tells her Ali got a message on her phone and she saw it when she opened her purse at the Police Department and that’s why she lied to Holbrook. When Aria asks if it was a message from A, Hanna reminds her ‘A’ is dead.

Kenneth DiLaurentis drops by the Marin house to ask Ashley if she could log into Jessica's emails to try and find out where she is. Hanna overhears their conversation from the top of the staircase and Kenneth and Ashley move into the kitchen, Hanna goes and sits on the stairs so she can continue to listen in.

Sitting in the kitchen on her laptop, Ashley debates whether to log into Jessica's emails or not. Hanna tells her that she thinks that Mrs D would prefer Ashley going through her emails than the police; and besides, Alison needs her mother.

Ashley asks Hanna if there is enough paper in the printer. Hanna tells her there may be a couple of pages and if Ashley would like her to grab some more. When Ashley gets up to grab some more paper, Hanna jumps in her vacated seat and goes through Jessica’s draft email folder, finding an unsent, unaddressed email, “I can’t protect you anymore”.

Hanna drops some papers off to Kenneth that could help in locating Jessica, and when he offers both her and Emily to stay for dinner, Hanna makes an excuse and rushes them out of the house. In the car, Hanna tells Emily about the email she found, while Emily tells her about the conversation between Mr DiLaurentis and Jason that she overheard. Jason knocks on Hanna's window, frightening both girls, and gives them a stern warning about meddling in places they shouldn’t be. Watching as Jason jumps into his car, Emily tells Hanna to follow him, "no you follow him. I have to change my underwear!"

In Philadelphia, Hanna and Emily follow Jason to a rundown apartment building. After he leaves, they get out of the car and walk up to the building, but are unable to get inside as they’re not sure which buzzer Jason had pressed. A man approaches them and Emily tells him she heard there may be a vacancy in the building. Knowing it to be a lie, the man chases them off.

Having gathered at Spencer's, Aria tells Hanna and Emily she's determined to go to the cops and tell them about what happened to Shana. Hanna again has to remind Aria that ‘A’ is dead. The girls having heard Pepe barking in the garden, run out to the back porch. Curious and confused, Aria asks Hanna whose dog it is and Hanna tells her “Alison’s”. Walking over closer to Pepe, they discover Mrs DiLaurentis' hand poking from the ground.

Surfing the Aftershocks

Hanna is upstairs with Alison the day of Jessica’s funeral until Alison asks her to wait downstairs. Once downstairs, Aria asks her how Alison is doing and all Hanna can say is, “how do you think she’s doing?” Alison makes her appearance, and she's not in the dress Hanna had picked out. After finding out that Jessica wore that exact dress to Alison’s funeral, Hanna and Aria help usher Alison from the living room.

A few days later the Liars are back at school and have been called into Vice Principal Hackett's office. He tells them that he is relieved they are safe and back in the "halls of Rosewood High School”. He then tells that the school will do what they can to protect the girls from the press and the curious, but in return he needs to know the girls will do their part in "keeping the disruptions to a minimum". With a smile Hanna assures him that he won’t even notice they’re at school.

As the girls walk out of Hackett's office, Spencer talks about wishing she could transfer to a school in Borneo, but she can't, and they just have to act as if things are normal. Hanna questions Spencer's sense of 'normal', because "when we were in New York, Ali's mom was killed, and now we're in one of Ali's biggest lies ever". Emily mentions to Spencer and Hanna that now the funeral is over, the cops are going to start punching holes in Alison’s kidnap story, and when it happens they need something real to tell them and a reason as to why they lied in the first place. Emily again says that she believes Jason was the one who killed his mother, and this time Hanna backs her up, also believing Jason could have been responsible. After Spencer walks off, Emily asks Hanna if she’ll come to Philadelphia with her, to find out what Jason really was doing in the rundown apartment building. Hanna says she can’t, she has to take Alison is the funeral home.

Alison and Hanna are at the funeral home, and after Alison rushes from the room, the funeral director comes out and mistakes Hanna for Alison, to which Alison tells him after her return, that it used to once be easier to tell them apart. Shamefully looking away, Hanna notices her reflection in a mirror and flashes back to two months after Alison disappeared. A Hefty Hanna had just polished off some cupcakes when Mona, who is no longer Loser Mona, approaches Hanna who is starting at Alison's missing person’s flyer. Mona comforts Hanna about Alison’s disappearance and says that with Alison having been missing for two months and no sign that she will return, someone needs to take her place.

When Hanna notices Mona sitting in the courtyard at school the next day, she’s plunged into a flashback. Hanna and Mona are in Hanna's bedroom, with Hanna having lost her extra weight over the summer. Mona tells Hanna that her new appearance calls for a new wardrobe and when she picks out a top that used to be Alison's, Mona urges Hanna to try it on. Hanna is visibly happy when she sees that Alison’s top fits.

In Philadelphia Emily and Hanna walk up to Arnie, the man who chased them away last time, and ask about Jason. It is then the girls find out Jason came to this building to get sober when he said he was at Clark.

In the car on the way back to Rosewood, Hanna and Emily question who Mrs DiLaurentis was sending the email to since it wasn’t Jason. He was at the dry-out place with no less than half a dozen people the night Jessica died and the Liars were in New York. Hanna is disappointed that they found out Jason is in the clear because she really thought they had something. Looking out of the car window, Hanna is again thrown back in time, this time to when Hanna and Mona, freshly made over, are strutting their new looks through the halls of Rosewood High, gaining everyone's attention. Hanna then asks Emily what it was like to come out. To stop being one thing and just become something else. Emily tells her it wasn’t becoming something else, if was becoming who is really is. Hanna admits that she never knew who she really was.

Back from Philadelphia, Emily and Hanna walk into the Brew. Emily is surprised at Hanna’s request for coffee but Hanna tells her that her body is made up of seven tenths of caffeine and she needs to maintain a consistent level. Spotting Mona, Hanna asks Emily to order for her and goes over to confront Mona about essentially turning her into Alison.

Hanna is at a hair salon, getting a cut and colour. When the hairdresser asks if she’s getting the same shade of blonde as last time, Hanna tells her no, not the same, “it’s time for a change”.

Thrown From The Ride

Hanna and Aria are in the Rosewood High courtyard as a book sale is takes place. Noticing that Aria is staring at her new hair, Hanna asks if she hate it. Aria tells her she doesn’t, but she’s confused of why the sudden impulse, “I wanted to be spontaneous,” to which Aria tells her she isn’t a spontaneous person. Picking up a copy of ‘The Scarlet Letter’, Hanna flips through the pages and when she finds that the book used to belong to Shana, she tries to keep it from Aria. Aria picks up on Hanna’s sudden change in demeanour and Hanna tells her the book was Shana’s. As Aria reads out what Shana had underlined, Hanna suggests that perhaps it was for a school assignment, Aria doesn’t believe so and says that it has to do with Ali, Jenna, them and Shana being ‘A’. Hanna tells her that she needs to stop pawing through Shana’s thing and find a way to forget about Shana. Grabbing the book out of Aria’s hands, Hanna tells her to stop before throwing the book back onto the table where Mona picks it up. Mona suggests that Hanna and Aria should give the book to Alison for when she comes back to school, but Hanna tells her that Ali will get her own copy. Mona says that Shana won’t be needing the book anymore with her moving back to Georgia, and Hanna says she hardly remembers who Shana was. Before Mona turns to leave, she comments about Hanna’s hair leaving Hanna to self-consciously touches the end of her hair.

Eating lunch outside, Hanna tells Spencer and Aria that she feels as if they’re lobsters in a tank at a restaurant, “you know the ones you stare at to see which one you want to eat, and then you see the lobster with the chewed off claw and the rubber band-“, cutting her off, Spencer reminds Hanna that they’re not lobsters, so she should just relax. As Spencer tells Aria that she’s been fielding questions about Alison all day, Hanna mentions that some people have been quite rude about it, especially one girl in her PE class who asked if it was true that Ali was fed raw meat. As all of their phones go off at once, Aria and Emily think it’s an ‘A’ text, it’s not, it’s Ali. Spencer reads out the text and says the family has to wait for cause of death. Hanna says they already know how Jessica died, "cause of death was murder, duh". Hanna questions that maybe Jessica was buried alive, and that she doesn’t believe Spencer or her family had anything to do with it because they wouldn’t make a “bonehead move like burying her in their own flower bed”.

Hanna is sitting alone in The Brew when she gets a text from Travis asking how her day at school went. Lucas approaches and Hanna asks if he’s back at Rosewood, something Lucas confirms. Lucas says to Hanna that he’s heard about Alison, and she asks what he’s heard, he tells her what he knows and then asks if Alison is coming back to school, but Hanna doesn’t know. Alison rings, and Hanna excuses herself from Lucas to answer. On the phone, Alison tells Hanna that she’s going in for a medical tomorrow and that she’d like someone to be with her, Hanna agrees to go and asks what time she should pick Alison up.

Hanna watches as Alison has her medical exam, and notices a scar on Alison’s thigh. When Alison gets worked up over the doctor asking question about the scar, Hanna asks if they’re done.

With the medical exam completed and Alison redressed, Hanna asks if Alison is okay before offering to drive to Lombrook tonight to get some food from the Chinese restaurant she likes. Nodding, Alison pulls a voice recorder from her bag and hands it to Hanna, telling her to give each of the other girls a copy. Alison tells her that they need to keep their stories straight, but Hanna tells her she was with her the whole time. Hanna asks who would ask them questions, and Alison tells her someone will, someone always does. Grabbing the voice recorder, Hanna stoves it in her handbag before asking Alison how she got the scar on her thigh, “I know it’s not from you being blindfolded and jumping out of a car. So how’d you get it?” Alison tells Hanna that she wishes she was blindfolded when it happened, and once you know something, you can’t un-know it.

In the Rosewood Mall, Hanna is trying on some new clothes when the shop assistant drops by the dressing room door to see if anything has worked, and Hanna tells her nothing has. Staring at herself in the mirror, Hanna notices another set of boots that aren’t those of the shop assistant by the dressing room door, but they turn to walk away when Hanna’s phone rings. Answering, Hanna asks Spencer if she can come to give Spencer the recording Alison asked to give out. Spencer tells her that she was with Ali and she never said anything, and Hanna thinks maybe she didn’t say anything because she knew Hanna was going to give Spencer a copy. Spencer questions if this was Ali’s idea or Hanna’s, and Hanna tells her it’s not just about Ali, it’s about Aria too. As Spencer tells Hanna that she’s getting them to add onto Alison’s lies, Hanna snaps, “just memorise it Spencer, okay, I’m not going to argue with you on the phone. If you want to yell at someone, call Ali. I’m sick of being the messenger”. Ending the call, Hanna again looks at herself in the mirror wearing a velvet bralette and pulls off the tag before redressing herself in the shirt and jacket she wore into the store.

Miss Me x 100

Travis and Hanna are in Hanna’s backyard with Travis looking through a telescope trying to locate Mars for a school presentation. Noticing that Hanna is distracted, Travis tells her that there’s no rule which states she has to walk into school tomorrow with Alison, to which Hanna tells him while it’s not written down, it’s understood, “we’re going to walk down those hallways with Ali and everyone will think what they’ve always thought”. When Travis asks what people will think if Hanna and the other girls walk in with Alison, Hanna tells him, "that we're her puppets". Travis tries to reassure Hanna that she’s not, so who cares what other people think, and that people know who Hanna is. Hanna’s not so convinced, claiming she doesn’t know who is of late.

The five girls are in Aria’s living room, and Hanna says that it is pretty clear that Jenna is back to punish them for blinding her and killing Shana, and Spencer agrees. When Hanna comments that she still doesn't have enough time for a hobby, Spencer explains to a confused Aria that the new normal was supposed to be a carefree senior year.

Hanna, Emily, Aria and Spencer are waiting for Alison to arrive, with Hanna questioning whether Alison is really coming, and Aria saying that they should have picked her up. Watching as Alison starts to slowly make her way through the crowds of people, Hanna wonders if people are loving her or hating her, but Aria cannot tell. Finally getting to the other four girls, Alison thanks them for waiting, and all together they make their way into the halls of Rosewood High. After Emily and Alison walk off, Aria circles around in front of Hanna and Spencer, saying that she can’t believe Alison’s actually back in school. Hanna mentions "as abnormal as this is, it king of feels normal", to which Spencer tells her baby steps.

Hanna and Lucas walking around the courtyard when Lucas suggests they do something no one else is doing - talk about somebody other than Alison. Smiling, Hanna tells him gladly, and Lucas tells her that his girlfriend is coming to town and he’s throwing a party so she can meet all of his friends. Noticing Emily and Aria across the courtyard, Hanna asks if she can bring Travis, and after Lucas agrees, she walks off to meet her friends.

Emily is leaving Spencer a voice mail when Hanna says she hasn’t seen Ali since first period, so maybe they skipped together. Emily explains that Alison sent her a text and she’s in guidance counsellor hell, before Hanna goes back to Spencer and says "with everything going on with Spencer’s family, I don't like not knowing where she is". Aria mentions that she’s thinking of going by Jenna’s after school, so she can swing by Spencer’s to check in on her. Hanna wants to know why Aria would go see Jenna, and Aria explains that she believes what Toby said about Jenna being broken, so maybe there might be something she can do to help. When Emily wonders what Aria could do to help, Hanna reminds Aria that "last night you thought she was staring blind daggers at you", but Aria tells her and Emily to back off, "I'm just saying, if she's not looking for us, or smelling for us, then...". Aria tells Hanna she really hope that she can find a hobby, but she needs to find a way to live with what happened in New York.

Hanna can’t believe Spencer can think about homework tonight, "or that you'd trust me to give you your assignments". Spencer says that Hanna was actually the first person she thought of when Veronica said she was leaving Peter. Hanna can’t believe that he would risk everything to kill Mrs D., and Spencer tells her that the police were asking questions about the girl in Alison's grave, and her dad thought Mrs D. was going to set her up for the fall. Ashley knocks on the door to let Hanna know Travis is downstairs, and asks Spencer if everything is alright at home as she saw Veronica at the Bradbury. Spencer tells her they’re having plumbing issues at home. After Ashley has left, Hanna says she could have told Ashley the truth, as she would never judge Veronica and Peter for splitting up. Spencer’s not sure why she lied, and admits that she always thought her parents would always stay together. Hanna tells her that she and all their friends are going to be there for her and leans in to hug her.

Lining up for coffee in the Brew, Hanna gets a text message from Travis, before taking a look around the coffee shop, where she notices Caleb standing a few people behind her. Hanna asks what he is doing back in Rosewood, but he doesn’t answer, instead turning telling Biff to keep it down. When Biff asks if Caleb is looking for a fight, Hanna steps in and pulls Caleb back towards her, diffusing the situation. Hanna again asks him when he got back, "why haven't you called me?", and before Caleb can answer he notices Hanna’s coffee order, which includes a coffee for Travis, on the counter. Telling Hanna she better get her coffees, Caleb leaves while Hanna’s back is turned.

At Lucas' party, a drunk Hanna is trying to call Caleb, but he is not answering. As she drops her phone, Lucas picks it up for her. Hanna tells him that the punch is "so tasty", so he refills her cup with some of his. When Hanna asks Lucas where his girlfriend is, Lucas says he can’t see her right now. Hanna then asks if he’s sure she’s real, and Lucas tells her that she’s real all right, and Hanna realises that Lucas is sleeping with her. Travis walks over to Hanna, and Hanna asks where he’s been, and Travis tells her she’s the one who has been on her phone all night. After Hanna rubs his head and he kisses her hair, Travis tells her he thinks she had enough and pulls her away from the party.

Putting a drunk Hanna to bed, Ashley tells her that she would be madder than a skunk at Travis if he weren’t as baffled at Hanna’s behaviour as she is, and that they’re going to have a serious talk about consequences when she sobers up, "okay mother. But if you don't stop spinning the room, I'm going to throw up". Removing Hanna’s high heels, Ashley climbs onto the bed with Hanna, and when Hanna thanks her for not being mad at her, Ashley tells her she is, but knows Hanna won't remember it, so they'll take about it tomorrow, "okay mother". Rubbing Hanna’s back, Ashley wonders why Hanna would do this to herself, and Hanna answers her with, "Caleb’s back".

A hungover Hanna is leaning against a wall at Rosewood High when Aria, Emily and Alison walk up to her and Spencer. Aria asks her if she feels as bad as she looks, and Hanna tells her “not so loud”. Walking into the cafeteria, Mona and her army confront the Liars, with Mona coming forward and exposing Alison's lie with a video to prove that Alison slapped her. Following Alison into the girls’ bathrooms, Hanna brings up Alison calling Mona, Loser Mona, and Alison tells her she knows how it looks, but they know what Mona is capable of, and Mona set her up.

In a playground, Hanna finds Caleb on the swings, and asks why he hasn't returned any of her calls. He tells her that Travis is a nice guy and he did not come back to screw that up. Hanna asks him why he came back, and Caleb doesn't answer, before asking if she changed her hair because Alison is back. Shrugging, she tells him "probably".

Hanna asks Caleb if Miranda found her family, and Caleb tells her he hasn't seen Miranda since the night Hanna left Ravenswood. Hanna gets a text message, and getting up off the swing she tells Caleb he is coming with her, and they have to go.

Arriving at Emily's house, Hanna and Caleb find Emily, Alison, Toby, Spencer, Aria and Ezra already there. Emily tells them that it's starting, so they move into the living room. As the press conference starts, Caleb grabs hold of Hanna's hand. The Police Chief explains that they've received confirmation tonight that the girl that was buried alive on the DiLaurentis property was Bethany Young. As the Police Chief is finishing up the press conference, a large boom is heard and windows of Emily's lounge room explode. Recovering from the glass blast, Hanna and the others walk out onto the street to find the Cavanaugh house on fire and rubble lying all over the road. After Toby has run off to see if anyone was inside the Cavanaugh home, the Liars' cell phones all start beeping and ringing.

Run, Ali, Run

The Liars' cell phones are beeping and ringing with an incoming text message, and Alison says that it is from A, and when Ezra asks what it says, Aria reads it out loud, "Did you miss me, bitches. -A". As Hanna asks Spencer where Toby is, a second explosion inside the Cavanaugh house occurs leaving Hanna and the others ducking for cover.

In Emily's bedroom, Spencer tells the girls that Toby's dad broke his leg, and when Hanna mentions that it could have been worse, Spencer tells her that Caleb's with Toby at the hospital. With Emily convinced that Shana was 'A' and therefore couldn't have sent the text, Hanna reminds her they got a text seconds after the house blew up, "either Shana can cause explosions from the grave, or A is back".

In the Brew, Hanna spots Caleb sitting down at one of the tables and walks over to him. Commenting that he looks as if he's got as much sleep as her, Caleb tells her he was with Toby until around an hour ago, and when Hanna asks how Toby is, Caleb says that he's still pretty shaken. Hanna still doesn't understand why 'A' would blow the Cavanaugh house up when they were all a few doors down, and Caleb reminds her that A doesn't shoot and miss. Asking if Hanna's seen the newspaper, he hands it over and Hanna is shocked to find that the police are not looking into what caused the gas leak at the Cavanaugh home. When Caleb suggests that the girls should tell the cops everything, Hanna wonders what they could say, "we don't have a face or a name". Caleb tells her this isn't a game, and that A blew up a house, but Hanna says she can't, it'll unravel too much, "things happened while you were gone". Caleb tells her he's noticed, and that he won't be staying long, he's thinking of going to Montecito for a while. Hanna says that she just thought if he wasn't in Ravenswood, he would be here, but Caleb tells her he doesn't want to commit to anything. Getting up, Hanna tells him it's late and that she should probably be getting to school.

In the school cafeteria, Hanna, Emily and Alison meet up with Spencer and Aria, where Hanna comments "so much for the new normal", and Emily mentions that she knew it was too good to be true. Hanna asks Spencer if Toby's still at the hospital, and Spencer tells her he's with Jenna and her mom. Emily asks Hanna how long Caleb's in town, and Hanna shrugs, telling her she doesn't know. After her phone goes off, Alison is shocked at what she sees, and with the other Liars leaning in, they watch a snapchat video of Jessica DiLaurentis being buried in the Hastings backyard.

In Hanna's kitchen, Hanna asks if Spencer is okay, and an upset Spencer tells them that Peter didn't killed Jessica, and Hanna says it makes sense as to why she thought he did. Hanna also mentions that while Peter didn't do it, it doesn't rule out Melissa. Alison says she can't wait around forever, she needs to leave town, and Hanna questions why 'A' doesn't just kill Alison, "why play games and blow up a house?" Alison says she's not sticking around to find out, and Hanna tells her the whole world knows she's alive, to which Spencer asks Alison even if she could run, where would she hide.

Walking down the stairs in Hanna's home, Alison comments that she should never have come back to Rosewood, and Hanna tells her she get's that she is scared, they all do, and that's why Alison is staying with her. As the doorbell rings, Alison tells her to not just open it, and checking the who is outside through the window, Hanna tells her, "it's just Travis". Stepping outside, Hanna tells Travis that this is a nice surprise, and a confused Travis tells her they had plans to go to the Grille at 7pm. Seeing Hanna doesn't remember, he tells her he knows she wasn't drunk when they made their plans, and Hanna apologises saying that with everything going, she totally spaced. She tells him she would go, but Alison is inside, and she doesn't want to leave her alone right now as she's going through a though time. Travis tells her he saw Mona's video and it looked as if Alison was making it though, but Hanna tells him not to believe everything he sees. Hanna also apologises for her behaviour at Lucas' party and hopes she didn't do anything too embarrassing, and Travis tells her she just on her phone all night trying to call someone, and Hanna tells him she doesn't remember that, "but I don't really remember anything after the room started spinning". Travis asks her if they're okay, and Hanna tells him they are. Kissing him, Hanna tells Travis that she'll call him when Alison leaves. Walking back inside, Hanna overhears Alison on the phone on the back patio, and asks who she was on the phone with. Alison tells her it doesn't matter, and Hanna says that it sounded like she was making plans to go somewhere, "were you?" Pressing Alison, Alison tells her that she can't live in a world where she jumps every time the doorbell rings, and when Hanna asks if she's just going to run away, Alison asks her not to tell the other girls, or try and stop her. Hanna wonders what Alison will do, "say you were kidnapped again?". As Alison is walking back inside, Hanna stops her, telling her that she's going to help her leave town.

Up in Hanna's bedroom, Alison tells Hanna that Noel is going to pick her up from Princeton station at 10pm, and when Alison says she needs Hanna to take her to Newton station, Hanna tells her she'll drive her to Princeton, "my mom's out with Ted, so we can use her car". As Hanna is grabbing clothes out of her wardrobe, Alison tells her she doesn't need that many, and Hanna says that Alison can't just walk out of her house with a bag of clothes. Alison says that she wants to go see her dad before she leaves, and Hanna tells her she'll drop her off now, and she'll go get cash, "and just call me whenever you're ready to leave".

As Hanna is counting money, Emily rushes into her bedroom and tells her that Paige named names and that Lucas and Melissa are working with Mona. Surprised to hear Melissa is involved, Hanna asks Emily if she's told Spencer yet, and Emily tells her she hasn't. Emily asks where Alison is, and Hanna tells her that she's gone to have dinner with her dad. Turning to leave, Emily says that she has to tell Alison, but Hanna tries to stop her, wondering if she can wait until morning to tell Alison. Emily tells her it's too important to wait, and it is then that Emily notices Alison's train ticket, questioning Hanna about the 8pm train, Hanna tries to cover and say that she's planning to visit her grandmother, but Emily points out that her grandmother lives in the other direction, and that New Jersey isn't on the way to Oklahoma. Grabbing the bag that was on Hanna's bed, Emily finds the money Hanna was trying to hide, and works out that Alison is leaving. Hanna tells her Alison's not, "she was going to, but I stopped her", but Emily doesn't believe her. As Emily starts to walk out of Hanna's room, Hanna stops her and admits that Emily was right, and Emily wonders how Hanna could let Alison go without telling anyone, and Hanna tells her that it's not safe for Alison to be here, and it's what Alison wants. Emily asks if that's the only reason Hanna wants Alison gone, and when Hanna asks "what's that supposed to mean?", Emily shrugs, telling Hanna a lot has changed with her since Alison's been back. In response Hanna tells Emily she saw her and Alison holding hands last night, and Emily tells her Alison was frightened and reached for her hand, and what was she supposed to do, slap her hand away.

Caleb is packing when Hanna knocks on the door of the cabin he's staying in, telling him that Toby told her where she could find him. When Caleb asks if something happened, Hanna tells him that Alison was going to leave town, for good, and she was helping her. Caleb says that he understands Alison wanting to leave, and Hanna says she realised she wasn't helping Alison to leave to keep her safe, "part of me wanted her gone". Caleb that it makes sense, Hanna never liked who she was when Alison was around, and Hanna admits that she still wants Alison gone, Caleb tells her that whatever Alison has stirred up in her, won't go away, even if Alison leaves, and that he should know, he left Ravenswood, but half of it is still with him. When Hanna asks what really happened in Ravenwood, Caleb doesn't answer, and Hanna tells him she hopes he decides to stay. Grabbing his flask, Caleb takes a mouthful before handing it over to Hanna to take a drink.

Travis is reading a book out the front of Rosewood High when Hanna approaches him, asking if he wants to eat lunch with her later on. Travis tells her he can't, he has things to do, and Hanna apologises for not calling him back last night, as she starts to explain, Travis cuts in and finishes her sentence. Travis tells her he saw Caleb at the Grille this morning, and he figured that's why she has been so distant, when Hanna says that's not the only reason, Travis gets up from the table and tells her he'll give her one less reason. As Hanna tries to stop him from walking away, he tells her he can't keep doing this if she's only in it half way, he likes her too much for that.

The Silence of E. Lamb

Walking past Emily and her mom, Hanna follows Alison into the girls’ bathroom. In the bathroom, Alison tells Emily that it’s not like her mom to put a dinner on at the last minute, but Hanna tells her she’s “pretty sure” Emily’s mom isn’t one of Mona’s secret ninjas, “are we supposed to be suspicious of everyone now?”, to which Alison says that it saves time. Seeing no other way out of the dinner party, Alison tells the girls they’ll just do it, get it over with, and when Hanna mumbles “your wish is our command”, Alison looks at her and asks what that is supposed to mean, but the school bell rings and Hanna says she has to go to class.

Walking into the courtyard, Hanna notices Caleb and heading in his direction, she asks what he is doing in school. When Caleb tells her he’s there for his exit exam, Hanna wonders how reading about monsters is going on help him, and shouldn’t he be studying. Caleb says that he’ll wing the exam, but Hanna tells him he cannot wing it, “it’s like all of high school in one test”, to which Caleb reels off an actor who signed the Emancipation Proclamation in a movie. Grabbing some of Caleb’s French fries, Hanna apologises when Caleb looks at her, telling him she should have asked, but Caleb tells her she never did. Caleb asks Hanna what is going on, and when she asks what he means, he tells her that she only eats three at a time when she’s bugging out about something, and after Caleb wonders if it’s about Alison, Hanna tells him that Emily’s mom is throwing a dinner for Alison tonight, and they all have to be there in case Mrs Fields decides to grill Alison. After Caleb wonders how much immoral support Alison needs, he tells Hanna that if she’s going to make a break, she has to just do it, but Hanna tells him it’s not that easy, and he says that he didn’t say it isn’t going to be messy. Hanna tells Caleb that she’s been through a divorce, “it’s not just about cutting off Alison. I don’t want to get into some weird custody battle over her friends”. When Caleb says that if Hanna loses her friends, she’s always got him, and when Hanna just looks at him, he says he should probably get inside. After wishing Caleb good luck, Hanna watches him walk away.

Pacing her kitchen, Hanna asks Caleb where he has been when he walks in the backdoor. Caleb tells her that he got her S.O.S when he was at the store, and when he asks her what is wrong, Hanna asks what he said to Alison before telling him that “she just left me a message, pissed. What did you say to her?” When Hanna asks if Caleb was trying to catch Alison in a lie, Caleb says that he doesn’t have to catch her, he’s way ahead of her, and when he asks who cares if Alison is pissed, Hanna is trying to dump her anyway, Hanna says that she doesn’t need him doing that for her. Asking what Caleb what he just uncapped, and Caleb telling her it’s a beer, Hanna asks what they are celebrating. Caleb tells her they’re celebrating his freedom and that he walked out of the stupid test, and when Hanna asks why he would do that, Caleb tells her that algebra and civics don’t mean anything in the real world. Telling him that he is making some really great life choices at the minute, Hanna tells Caleb he needs to leave, “now”, when Caleb mentions that it’s about making a decision, something he can do and Hanna can’t, “I have a dinner to go to”.

Placing a now empty beer bottle on the counter, Hanna steps on the rubbish bin louver and after it has lifted, goes through the recycling trash when Emily walks in the backyard, telling Hanna she got her text. Emily tells Hanna that Aria is stuck at Radley and Spencer bailed, and sitting down, she says that it can’t just be Alison, her mom and her. Getting side tracked, Emily asks Hanna when her mom started drinking beer, and Hanna tells her that “she washes her hair with it”, before Hanna says that she “kind of has a headache”, but Emily tells Hanna she can have her headache in two weeks, to go with her cramps. When Hanna says she doesn’t know, Emily says that her mom is making pop overs, and that Hanna knows what that means. Hanna says that she’s hit her “Ali limit” for one day, “every minute with her just sucks so much energy out of you”, but Emily says that Alison is really nervous about all this, and when Emily says the cops have been breathing down Alison’s neck, Hanna mentions that it’s not the cops, it’s Emily’s mom, “maybe she could use some practice getting her story straight. We all could”. When Hanna asks Emily what’s going on between her and Alison, Emily tells her she doesn’t know, Alison’s just been really needy, Hanna gives in, telling Emily that she’ll get some shoes. After Emily has left, Hanna grabs some recycles out of the trash and places the beer bottle in before covering it up.

As Hanna walks up to the Field’s house, Pam greets her and Hanna apologises for being late. Pam tells her not to worry, they were just getting ready to bring things to the table, before asking if Hanna would like something to drink, to which Hanna tells her water is fine. After Pam and Emily have walked inside to finish getting dinner ready, Alison asks Hanna if she had talked to Caleb, and when Hanna tells her that he’s not going to make any trouble, Alison says that a boy like that can make trouble without even trying. Hanna tells Alison she trusts Caleb, but Alison tells Hanna she doesn’t, and now would be a really bad time to make a mistake. Hanna says that Caleb is not a mistake, “he’s the most un-mistake thing in my life”, but Alison tells her she needs to keep a clear head and it’s hard to do that when you’re kissing somebody. Hanna wonders if Alison is asking her to do, “keep it simple, because you know I’m not very smart?”, and Alison tells her that all she’s saying is that when Caleb came back to town she was still in a relationship, and that maybe she should just cool it a little bit. Alison goes on to say Hanna needs to make sure she’s doing the right thing, for everybody, and when Hanna asks if she’s Alison is telling her not to see Caleb, Alison doesn’t answer. After Alison has walked inside, Hanna picks up a bottle of vodka that was on the drinks cart, and after looking inside the house, she unscrews the lid.

At the dining table, after Pam has explained they were given a bad luck discount on the replacement windows, Hanna says she thinks people make their own luck, but Pam tells her sometimes things happen that aren’t anybody’s fault, only for Hanna to say, “yeah, like, I don’t know, a meteor falls and hits your car, but the walking around stuff, it’s usually somebody else's fault, right Ali?” When Emily tries to explain what she thinks Hanna means, Hanna tells her “Hanna knows what Hanna means”. Alison tells Hanna maybe she’s right, maybe they do set themselves up for bad things, they don’t mean to, but they do. Alison tells Pam that she was ashamed of what happened to her and that’s why she asked Emily, Hanna and the others to not tell anyone when she came back, and they didn’t. Pam tells Alison that she has some very special friends, and after Alison has reached out to Emily, Hanna tells her that she’s the “special one”, and there is “no one else in the entire world like you”, which leaves Alison glaring in Hanna’s direction. As Hanna chokes on mouthful of her drink, Pam asks if she’s okay, before Alison asks Pam if she would like some help to clear the table. After Alison and Pam have walked out of the dining room, Emily reaches over to take Hanna’s drink, and taking a sip, she questions Hanna, only for Hanna to tell her she needed something to wash down “all that baloney we had with dinner”. Leaning over the table Hanna reaches for her glass, but Emily keeps her arm and the glass just out of reach.

Walking into Emily’s living room, Hanna asks Emily what she is doing, and Emily tells her that she’s taking her keys because Hanna is leaving, but she doesn’t think she should drive. Hanna says she thought she was helping, but Emily says she needed her help, but Hanna wasn’t helping. Emily passes Hanna’s jacket to her, and says that she’ll tell the others that Hanna’s mom called and she had to leave. As Emily is walking Hanna towards the front door, Hanna tells her that the story Alison told about blaming herself, “your mom didn’t buy it. I was looking at her. She wasn’t buying any of it”, before opening the front door and walking out.

In the Brew, Hanna is waiting in line for coffee, when Sydney comes up behind her and introduces herself, before saying that she’s having a hot date with her homework. After Sydney asks if Hanna is on her way out, Hanna tells her she’s just had dinner over at Emily’s, and it’s then Sydney gets a whiff of the alcohol on Hanna’s breath and comments that it must have been some dinner. Sydney asks if Hanna wants to sit for a minute, but when Hanna tells her she doesn’t, she’s just going to head home, Sydney tells her not like that she’s not. When Sydney tries to coax Hanna into staying by saying that they’ll split a Panini, Hanna relents, saying that she could sober up a little, “I’ve already yacked on my mom once this week”. Turning back around Hanna orders a soy latte with caramel, and asking Sydney what she would like, Sydney tells her she’ll have the same.

Sitting down on the couches, Hanna tells Sydney take she was right, “melted cheese is the best booze soaker”, before saying that she needs a napkin. After telling Hanna she thinks there is one under her books, Sydney lifts a newspaper that has the Cavanaugh house explosion on the front, and mentions to Hanna that she was just reading about what happened. Hanna says that they were at Emily’s house when it happened, and when Sydney asks if she knew who ever lived in the house, Hanna tells her that their friend Toby grew up there with his step-sister Jenna. Sydney says that Jenna’s name keeps popping up, and that people seem to have a lot of beef with her, and when Hanna says that she has her own chock to grind, Sydney comments that someone thought her house would make a good barbeque pit. Hanna laughs and comments that she’d “love to rake her over the coals”, and when Sydney laughs, Hanna tells her that is not true, and that she thought the whole time they were fighting someone else’s battle. Sydney asks whether if she’s ever wanted to make up with Jenna and quit fighting, and Hanna tells her “there was always the possibility that they could with Shana-”, before correcting herself, “-Jenna. But, um, after everything that happened in New York, it was just too late”.

Having grabbed some more coffee, Sydney says that if Hanna likes, they can take them to go, and she can drop Hanna off at home. At first Hanna agrees, but after spotting Caleb walk in, Hanna says that she might walk home, “the air. It’ll probably help”. Asking if she’s sure, Sydney picks up her books and tells Hanna that she’ll see her at school before walking out. After Caleb notices her, he walks over and when he asks whether she blew off her dinner, Hanna mentions that she got kicked out. Sitting down, Caleb says that he probably shouldn’t be giving advice about her friends, and she should handle Alison, but Hanna cuts him off, telling him she doesn’t want to talk about Alison, “I want to talk about us”. When Caleb asks what she means, Hanna explains that she may be having a hard time making decision lately, but so has he, “and when it comes to me, you’ve been on the fence ever since you got back”. Caleb says that they’ve talked about this, and with Hanna with Travis, but Hanna tells him, “there is no me and Travis. Not when you’re back here”. Hanna asks Caleb what he wants, and sighing, Caleb tells her he doesn’t know, and the time he spent away from Rosewood made him question a lot, he’s not the same person, and when he looks around the room, he doesn’t see the same stuff he used to. When Hanna asks if he still sees her, Caleb tells her of course, and tells him they should start there, before leaning in to kiss him. Pulling back, they look at each other and as Hanna’s hand finds Caleb’s, they lean in for another longer, more meaningful kiss.

Walking into Spencer’s, Hanna apologises and says that she ran into Caleb, and they had a few things to talk about, before asking what she’s missed. Aria asks if Hanna just got the text that came in, telling her that it’s from ‘A’, but Hanna tells her no. Emily asks if she’s sure, and to check her phone, and after doing so, Hanna says she doesn’t know what text they’re talking about. Spencer passes her phone to Hanna, and she reads it aloud, “New York, New York, it’s a hell of a town. Ali’s keeping secrets, maybe that’s because of Hanna’s big mouth. –A”, before Spencer asks Hanna if she’d care to fill them in.

Scream For Me

In choir class, Hanna looks over to Emily’s sheet music, so Emily points out to where they are up to on Hanna’s own page. As class finishes, Emily wonders why Tanner would interview Alison in front of them, and Spencer says to make a point, and they’re next. Aria suggests that maybe the police saw Alison sneaking out of her house last night as well, and when Emily asks Aria if she told Alison about Spencer’s tapes, Aria tells her of course not. Looking towards Hanna, Aria adds that some of them know how to keep their mouths shut. As Aria is leaving to go call Ezra, Hanna watches as Alison walks over to a music stand and grab her sheet music book, and noticing Alison’s reaction when she walks back over, Emily asks her what’s wrong. Alison wonders when someone had the opportunity to mark her book, and when Spencer asks if she had her bag on her all morning, Alison tells her she did. Hanna reaches for Alison’s sheet music book, and when Hanna says she doesn’t get it, Spencer explains that someone has circled all the A’s. After seeing a reaction on Spencer, Hanna and Emily’s faces, Alison asks if there is something else, so Spencer reads out what they found, “glad to hear you singing. Last time you were all choked up. –A”. Looking over their shoulders, the girls look around the music room to see who could have left the note for Alison.

Opening her locker, Hanna searches for her notebook and when Spencer and Emily approach, an empty beer can falls to the ground. Picking the can up, Spencer asks Hanna if she’s collecting it for recycling before Emily wonders what is going on with her. When Hanna asks what she’s talking about, Spencer tells her that yesterday her blouse was on inside out and today her locker smells like Oktoberfest. As Hanna asks if Spencer is the hall monitor, Spencer tells her no, they are her friends and they’re a little bit concerned. Hanna tells Spencer that the can isn’t even hers, “Caleb probably put it in my bag”, and when Spencer gives Hanna a look, Hanna tells Spencer not to start, “I already have one friend throwing me shade”. Emily asks Hanna if she’s apologised to Aria and when Hanna says that “Aria doesn’t want to hear it”, but she left her a message, Spencer tells her that they heard the message and it sounded like Hanna was underwater and Caleb was laughing in the background. Hanna comments that Caleb’s laughter was because he was watching a man eat his own beard on YouTube, and calling the act classy, Spencer says Hanna may need to apologise again. Emily adds that Hanna also needs to apologise to Alison, as she nearly outed her in front of Pam, and that they were there is support her story, not throw peanuts at the stage. As the school bell rings, Spencer suggests they just finish this at lunch, but turning back to her locker, Hanna says that she has other plans.

On the phone with Caleb, Hanna tells him she thought they were meeting for lunch and when Caleb asks her what time it is, Hanna tells him, “half past I’m hungry”. Caleb says that he must have overslept, and that he’ll just throw on clothes on, but Hanna tells him not to worry and she’ll just see him later. Hanging up, Hanna notices Alison walking towards her and as Alison gets to her, she passes Hanna a bottle of water, telling her to hydrate. Hanna tells Alison that she’s really sorry about the other night at Emily’s dinner, “it was so not cool”, and Alison mentions that they were all stressed. Alison asks if there is something else, and Hanna is really upset her with, but as Alison starts to trail off, Hanna tells her no, they’re good. Alison says that her dad is going to Westport for a few days and he wants her to go with him, and when Hanna asks if ‘A’ is going to let that happen, Alison tells her never. Alison goes on to say she obviously can’t stay home alone, and wonders if she can crash at Hanna’s house. Taking a moment, Hanna says she’ll have to talk to her mom as she has a lot going on right now, “but I’ll, I’ll talk to her”.

Walking into the Marin kitchen, Hanna overhears Alison telling Ashley about her ordeal. When Ashley spots Hanna, she greets her daughter before explaining that Alison is going to be staying with them for a few days while her dad is away. Ashley tells Alison to go upstairs and try and get some rest while she and Hanna finish making dinner. Telling Alison that she should take a nice hot bath, Ashley passes her a jar of bath salts, saying that they will help her relax. After Alison has grabbed her bag and left to head upstairs, Ashley asks Hanna to wash her hands so she can help prepare a stir fry. As Hanna is washing her hands, Ashley says that Alison’s story was so upsetting, and that she has no support system, at all. Asking Hanna if she could make up the day bed with clean sheets after dinner, Hanna says that she’s not actually going to stay for dinner, “I promised Caleb I would help him study for his exit exams”, to which Ashley asks Hanna to at least show Alison where the guest towels are. Telling Ashley fine, Hanna takes a moment before saying that she’s asked to use those bath salts “like a million times”.

In Caleb’s car, Hanna vents that she can’t even stand to look at Alison anymore, “and now she’s in my pyjamas and drooling on my pillow”. Looking down to the brown paper bag between them, Hanna asks if there is food in it. As Hanna pulls out a bottle of alcohol, Caleb comments that he thought he was supplying beverages, before wondering if Hanna wants to go on a trip with him. When Hanna wonders if he means somewhere further than his cabin, Caleb tells her somewhere far, and that she’s not the only who needs to change it up. Caleb questions Hanna how she feels about Japan, but Hanna tells him she can’t, “the only sushi I do is Californian rolls”. As Caleb suggests Myanmar, Hanna tells him if she cannot spell it or pronounce it, she can’t go there. Hanna asks if Caleb has anything to cut the alcohol with, and Caleb mentions that he was just going to wait they got back to his place, before asking Hanna is she wants to stop to get sodas. Hanna comments that she needs a sandwich, she’s starving, and asking Caleb if he wants anything, something he shakes his head to, Hanna opens the car door and gets out.

Walking up to the Brew, Hanna leans her face on the window and beers into the café. Zack walks out and asks if he can help her or if she’s just cooling off her face. Hanna tells him that she wants a tuna melt, but Zack says that he closed it up early tonight to get ready for tomorrow. As Hanna stays standing in place, Zack asks if she would like her sandwich to go.

Hanna wanders aimlessly around the Brew and when Zack calls out asking if she would like mustard, Hanna says she would before saying that the decorations look really nice. Walking out of the kitchen, Zack says he’s glad she approves, and as he goes to put mustard on Hanna’s sandwich, she starts trying to pronounce the name of a country, before saying that he knows what she means. Saying that he knows know what she means, Zack gives Hanna a heads up that he can smell her from less than a feet away, before questioning whether it is rum he can smell. Hanna says that it's whisky, and Zack comments that it’s the rough stuff and that she’s a bad girl. After commenting that he’s always had a thing for a bad girl, Zack says that this is the part where he’s supposed to lecture her about drinking, but he’s willing to keep it between them. Hanna asks if Aria made the flowers, and Zack tells her she did. Giving Hanna her sandwich, Zack places a hand between Hanna’s shoulder blades, and as she goes to give him some money, Zack tells her that it’s on him, before trailing his hand down her back. Feeling uncomfortable, Hanna grabs her sandwich and leaves.

At Caleb’s cabin, Hanna takes a drink of whisky before saying that she thinks Caleb should take her home, “it’s getting late and I don’t want my mom to worry”. As Hanna stands up, Caleb tells her he can’t drive right now, but he could call her a cab or something. Hanna fiddles with her skirt, and when Caleb asks what’s wrong, Hanna tells him that it is too short. Commenting that it’s not, Caleb pulls her over to him and says that it’s perfect, before Hanna sits down on his lap and the two share a kiss. As Hanna reaches for her cell phone, Caleb tells her to wait, wondering if they can call the cab company in half an hour, but Hanna tells him she has to go. Caleb asks if everything is okay, and standing up, Hanna tells him it is, “I’m just drunk and I’m tired, and I want to go to sleep”.

When Hanna walks into the music room at Rosewood High, Spencer asks where she has been, and Hanna says that she fell asleep in Caleb’s car. After Hanna turns around to look around the classroom, she asks where everyone is and if class has started yet, but Emily tells her that it’s over. Emily asks Hanna what is in her hair, and bringing her hand up to her hair, Hanna tells her that it is a crispy treat, “can you get it out, please”. While Emily is trying to get the crispy treat out of Hanna’s hair, Spencer asks why she is napping at 10am, and snapping, Hanna says that she couldn’t sleep, “I have a new roommate named Alison and there’s other stuff too”. Hanna tells Emily not to pull so hard at her hair, but Emily says that it’s glued to her scalp. Spencer asks what other stuff Hanna has going on, and after Emily makes a comment about ‘A’, Hanna tells them that it’s not ‘A’, but she had a really weird moment with Emily’s boss last night. After Emily questions her boss, Hanna explains that she went to the Brew to get a sandwich and he got a little bit too friendly. Emily asks what Hanna is talking about, and Hanna tells her that Zack put his hand on her back “and it was there for way too long”. Spencer asks Hanna if she’s sure she’s not reading into what happened and Hanna tells her no, before Spencer questions if she was buzzed. Standing up, Hanna says they should just forget she said anything, and when Emily tries to get her to wait, Hanna tells her no, “the only reason I told you was because part of me wants to say something to Aria, but if you two don’t believe me”. Emily cuts Hanna off, saying that’s not what they said, before Spencer adds that if Hanna misinterpreted what happened at all, she doesn’t want to be putting it out there two days before Zack’s engagement party. Emily goes on to say that once it’s said, Hanna can’t take it back. Hanna tells them that she’s right, and that she’ll see them later. As is walking out of the music room, Emily tries to get her to wait, but Hanna tells her that she has to go to the bathroom.

Sitting in her car, Hanna is eating some food when Zack knocks on the passenger side window. Getting in, Zack apologises for scaring her, and says that he saw her out here and thought they could talk. Hanna tells him she was actually just about to leave, and Zack asks what her rush is, and that she should finish her meal. Zack goes on to say that he didn’t wasn’t sure what her takeaway was from yesterday, and when Hanna tells him she was “sort of off”, Zack says that he wasn’t sure if she was feeling the same vibe as him, but he kind of think she was. Tearing off a piece of paper, Zack jots down his number and passes it to Hanna, telling her to hit him up. Resting his hand on her thigh and giving it a squeeze, Zack opens the car door and heads back out in the rain. Ripping the piece of paper up, Hanna leans her elbow on the door frame and cradles her head.

Knocking on the Montgomery front door, Hanna walks in when Aria opens it. After Aria asks if Hanna, who is wet from the rain, needs a towel, Hanna tells her she’s fine, and while she knows they are not on the best of terms, she had to come over. Hanna goes on to say that she doesn’t know how else to say this, so she’s just going to say it, “Zack hit on me”. Confused, Aria asks her what, and Hanna explains that at first she thought he was joking, “but then he got into my car”. Asking Hanna to wait, Aria asks what she is saying, and Hanna says that Zack wanted to hook up with her. Aria asks if Hanna kissed him, and when Hanna says no, Aria comments that this is so messed up. Hanna says she knows and that’s why she wanted to tell her, but Aria tells her no, Hanna is messed up; she’s the problem, she’s always the problem. When Hanna asks what she means, Aria goes on to say that the rest of them are getting ulcers trying not to say the wrong thing, and Hanna is getting hammered in front of Emily’s mom and blabbing to a stranger. Hanna says that she told Aria she was sorry, but pointing her finger, Aria says that Hanna didn’t tell her that, A did. Going on, Aria tells Hanna that she couldn’t even remember what she said and that they were shouting out guesses trying to jog her memory. When Hanna says that it’s not true, Aria wonders if Hanna invited Zack into her car, and when Hanna asks why she would do that, Aria asks Hanna if she was trashed. When Hanna tells her she wasn’t trashed, Aria says that if Hanna wants to spiral out of control and self-destruct by all means go right ahead, but she sure as hell isn’t going to let Hanna take Ella down with her. As Aria walks over and opens the door, Hanna marches out.

March of Crimes

As Hanna walks into her bedroom, Emily asks her how her mom is, and Hanna tells her she’s “freaked”. After Alison has left to go call her dad back, Hanna moves further into her bedroom, and Spencer mentions to her and Emily and Alison answered that question about Noel. While Emily and Spencer discuss Alison, Noel and Melissa, Hanna drinks from her flask. When Spencer notices her drinking, she tells Hanna to take it easy, but Hanna says last time she checked they were still in her bedroom, “til somebody else, god- invaded it”. Hanna comments that even the doorknob smells of Alison, and Spencer wonders Hanna was smelling the doorknob. Emily gets a text message from her mother and saying that she has to leave, Hanna begs Emily took take her with her. When Emily says that she can’t stay at her house, Hanna says that she has to get “out of here”, and as Emily turns to leave, she tells Spencer to make sure Hanna doesn’t drink and dial.

Hanna is looking around on her floor when Ashley walks in and asks how she slept. After Hanna questions, “who says I’m up?”, Ashley asks if Alison is in the shower and Hanna says that she guesses. Ashley suggests that you girls should meet her at the mall after school, and when Hanna asks who’s “you girls?”, Ashley tells her, her and Alison. Ashley explains that she thought it might be nice to treat themselves to something new for Ella and Zack’s party, and Hanna mentions that she’s not going to the party. Ashley asks why, and Hanna says that she has a make up test on Monday. Ashley says that she thinks Aria will be pretty hurt if Hanna doesn’t go, but Hanna comments that “she’ll will be fine”. Ashley wonders if Hanna can study for her test over the weekend, and Hanna tells her that Aria isn’t going to care if she goes or not. As Hanna throws a jacket at her bag, a flask falls out and picking it up, Ashley tells Hanna that this is not the answer. Telling her that alcohol is dangerous, and disturbing, Ashley goes on to say that it is totally unacceptable. Hanna mentions that she knows, “you don’t have to do all of this”, but Ashley tells Hanna to listen to her, she gets it now, she knows what Hanna and Alison and their friends have been going through, she was there, in her own house, and she was terrified. Ashley says she knows Hanna is looking for an escape, and she honestly doesn’t blame her, but she can’t afford to not be in control, especially not now, when Alison’s kidnapper is still out there. As Ashley promises Hanna that the police will catch Alison’s kidnapper, Alison calls out from the bathroom asking where Hanna’s moisturiser is, and calling back, Ashley tells Alison to just use hers. Looking at her mom, Hanna just shakes her head.

Hanna stumbles into school unaware that Spencer and Alison have seen her doing so.

As the school bell rings, Alison asks Hanna what’s next for her, and when Hanna tells her “Bio”, Alison comments that Hanna is lucky. As Hanna starts walking off, Alison tells her to wait, she’ll walk her, but Hanna says she doesn’t need an escort. Alison apologises for what happened last night, and that she’ll pay for the window, but Hanna tells her it’s not about the window, “your stupid stunts affect a lot of people”. Alison asks if Hanna is talking about her mom, and when Hanna doesn’t say anything, Alison asks if Hanna and Aria are fighting about her, and if they are, she can help, she can talk to Aria. Raising her voice, Hanna says she doesn’t want Alison to do anything at all, she just wants to be left alone, and she thinks that it’s best that Alison stays with one of the other girls. Calling out to Hanna as she attempts to walk away, Alison asks what is happening with them, and that their group is falling apart. Hearing a walking stick, Hanna looks past Alison as Jenna walks out of one of the adjoining rooms and into the music room. When Alison looks back at her, Hanna takes the opportunity to leave.

Walking into the courtyard, Hanna finds Aria sitting at one of the tables and when Aria notices her, she grabs her bag off of the table and leaves. Turning as Aria walks past her, Hanna watches Aria’s retreat.

Opening the door of Caleb’s cabin, Hanna drops her bag onto the couch and walks over to the fridge to grab a drink. Caleb tracks her movement and gives a to-and-fro conversation of them greeting each other and asking how there day’s went. When Hanna sits down in the unoccupied armchair, she mentions that her day sucked, and when Caleb asks her what happened, Hanna asks if they could just watch the movie on TV, “I’m not in the greatest mood”. Caleb wonders if that mood has anything to do with the party they’re not going to, and when Hanna says she’s not going to that party if he paid her. Caleb questions her why, and Hanna tells him that she’s just not feeling it. Caleb mentions that he’s never seen her turn down free food and a chance to dress up, before asking why she’s acting so weird about it. Hanna tells him “what’s weird is going to a party and listening to toasts about eternal love when one in three marriages end in divorce”. Caleb questions if Hanna is placing her bets on this marriage, and when Hanna doesn’t answer, Caleb asks if this has anything to do with the guy Ella is marrying. Taking a moment, Hanna mentions that “he’s just gross”, and when Caleb asks her to be a bit more specific, Hanna says that he’s a sleaze, “he gave me his number and he wants to meet up. Although no one seems to believe me”. Caleb tells Hanna that he believes her, before wondering why she didn’t tell him. Hanna comments that it’s not a big deal, but Caleb tells her it is, and as he tries to say something, Hanna says that it’s embarrassing. Caleb comments that it’s embarrassing for Zack, and Hanna wonders why she’s the one who feels like crawling into a hole and never coming out of it. As Hanna says she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore, Caleb stands up and tells her that there’s not a lot to eat, so he’s going to stop in at Maggiano’s and get Hanna her favourite. After telling Hanna to stay at the cabin and watch the chickiest chick flick she can find, Caleb leans down to kiss her.

Still watching the same movie as before, Hanna asks Caleb “where’s the food?” when he arrives back at the cabin. As Hanna asks Caleb where he’s been, Caleb tells her that he’s a piece of crap, but he has a strong jaw. Hanna watches as Caleb puts some ice in a tea towel, and standing up she wonders, “Caleb you didn’t”, but Caleb tells her of course he did. When Hanna drops her head into her hands, Caleb tells her that there’s a problem, and Hanna tells him “yeah, no kidding. How’s Zack going to explain he got a fat lip?” Caleb passes Hanna a note and after reading it, Hanna says that she didn’t write it. Caleb tells her he knows, and questions if she thinks that ‘A’ decided to get in the mix and seeing that Zack was a dirt bag, decided to move things along. Hanna realises that the note is the reason Zack got into her car, and Caleb agrees with her.

Hanna is pouring a beer down the kitchen sink when Aria knocks on the cabin door and mentions that she heard she could find Hanna here. Walking in, Aria looks around the cabin and comments that it’s nice, but Hanna tells her it could use a house keeper. Hanna says she thought Aria was supposed to be giving a toast “right now”, and when Aria doesn’t answer, Hanna asks what happened. Aria tells her nothing that hasn’t happened before, and apparently Zack is a big jerk internationally. Hanna comments that she’s not trying to defend the guy, “but just so you know A stoked the fire”. Aria tells Hanna that it doesn’t matter, Zack took the bait. Getting emotional, Hanna asks why Aria didn’t believe her, and Aria says it’s wasn’t so much she didn’t believe her, she just wanted to believe something else more. Going on Aria says she wanted to believe her mom could find someone again, be happy, and Hanna says that she gets that. Aria asks if Hanna will forgive her, and after Hanna nods, they share a hug.

A Dark Ali

In Alison’s bedroom, Hanna and the other girls are shocked to hear that Alison said she didn’t know who her ‘kidnapper’ was, and therefor Cyrus Petrillo is still in police custody. Emily points out that Cyrus’ confession is A’s doing as he knew about the rock that hit Alison, knew where she was kept, what she ate, what mattress she slept on, and Hanna realises that it’s the same story that Alison told the doctor. Alison mentions that if A’s behind it all, that’s who Cyrus is going to run to when he panics, and when Hanna asks what Alison is saying, she says that if she can make him think he’s going down for the kidnapping, they can follow him to ‘A’ and finally win A’s game.

Walking out of the DiLaurentis house, Hanna wonders if it’s weird they haven’t got a text message from ‘A’ yet, to which Aria says that she doesn’t need a creepy text to read the writing on the wall. Aria goes on to say that the second Alison identifies Cyrus Petrillo they’re going to find out he couldn’t have possibly kidnapped her and the whole world is going to know Alison is a big fat liar. Hanna adds that they will be outed as liars as well, “right now we’re just as big and fat as she is”. Aria says that someone needs to go back in and make sure that Alison doesn’t ID Cyrus, and Hanna nominates Emily, to which Spencer agrees. After Emily has walked off, Hanna asks Aria how her mom is, and Aria says that she’s heartbroken. As Hanna comments that it’s so awful, “first your dad cheats on her and then her sleaze bag boyfriend hits on me”, Spencer tells her that Aria doesn’t need a play-by-play, she was there. Hanna apologises to Aria, and after Aria says thanks, she asks if Hanna needs a ride. Noticing Spencer grab something in her bag, Hanna asks what it is and Spencer explains that it’s Noel Kahn’s insurance policy. Aria mentions that Tanner would love it get her hands on it, Alison talking to Shana when she was supposed to be dead, to which Hanna corrects her, “you mean kidnapped”. Spencer says that she’s heading to her house to stash the evidence, and when Aria asks if that’s safe, she says she has a spot. Hanna questions, “a spot?”, and Spencer says that nobody else knows about it. Hanna says that maybe Spencer should tell them where the spot is, “just in case anything would happen to you”, but opening the passenger door of Aria’s car, Spencer says goodbye to Hanna.

At Caleb’s cabin, Hanna is throwing a heap of food and drink in the trash bin as Caleb wonders how ‘A’ could get someone to confess. When Hanna says that she doesn’t know, Caleb questions what Alison is going to do, to which Hanna says that she will do “whatever the hell she wants”. Caleb questions if Hanna thinks she should find out, Hanna tells his no, before throwing a slice of pizza in the bin. Caleb tells her that he was eating that, before following Hanna into the kitchenette and asking what she is doing. Turning back from the fridge, Hanna tells him that none of “this stuff” is good for him, “soda, beer, soggy nachos. It’s poison, Caleb”, before wondering when the last time they ate a vegetable that wasn’t battered and fried. Caleb tells her to stop trash talking to diet, and asks what is going on, to which Hanna tells him nothing, “just another day in the life of Alison DiLaurentis”. Going on, Hanna says that Alison is in the driver’s seat of her life, “and I’m supposed to watch her just steer me off a cliff. I’m sick of it”. Reaching back into the fridge, Hanna grabs something and Caleb tells Hanna to toss her, not his fried zucchini. Walking over to a grocery bag, Hanna says that the other day Ms Adinolfi made an announcement about chorus auditions for a solo and all the girls started freaking out, “and then I thought, wow, what’s that like. To lose sleep over some stupid chorus audition”. Hanna questions if that is what normal people do, “go to football games and wave pom poms, and freak out over a chorus solo”, to which Caleb reminds her that normal people are not being hounded by A, and besides, Hanna doesn’t care about that stuff. Moving back to the fridge with fresh produce, Hanna comments that maybe she should, “look. I don’t know what I’m going to do about Alison, but I am going to that stupid audition”.

Running down the street, Hanna tells Caleb that she’s really glad they’re “doing this”, and Caleb says he is as well before asking Hanna if she’s good. Hanna tells him she is, before asking if they’re almost done. As a car drives past them, Caleb questions if it’s Spencer, and grabbing his arm, Hanna wonders that maybe they should just go back the other way, but Caleb reminds her that it’s a loop. Spencer gets out of her car and comments that when Mrs Marin said Hanna was out on a run she thought she was joking, to which Hanna tells her that seeing is believing. When Spencer asks if Caleb can give them a second, Hanna tells Spencer no and that they’re doing a loop. Spencer says that it’s important, and when Hanna doesn’t say anything, Spencer says that she stayed up all night trying to figure out who took the recording of Alison. Hanna tells Spencer that whatever it is, she just not interested, and when Spencer mentions that she doesn’t even know what it is yet, Hanna says that she has to be at the audition in an hour. Saying that she has to go, Hanna runs off, continuing on with the loop.

At Rosewood High, Hanna is signing up for the choir solo auditions, when she hears Mona going through her runs. Looking up to the ceiling, Hanna turns around, and when Mona waves at her, Hanna rolls her eyes.

Sitting in the music room, waiting for her audition, Hanna snaps at Mona who is singing, “okay, Mona, we get it, You can freakin’ sing”. As Ms Adinolfi calls the next group of people for their auditions, including Hanna and Mona, Hanna starts to walk into the small auditioning room when she hears a crash. Turning back, Hanna sees Mona lying on the fall and rushing over to her, Hanna calls her name, “Mona”.

Calling Mona’s name as she begins to regain consciousness, Hanna asks if Mona can hear her. When Mona asks what happened and tries to sit up, Hanna pushes her back down and explains that she fainted, “you were out for almost a minute”. Mona asks Hanna where her bag is, and Hanna tells her that it’s “over there”, before saying that Ms Adinolfi is on the phone with Mona’s mom. Mona asks Hanna to get her bag, and when Hanna goes over to grab it, she takes a look inside and finds Cyrus Petrillo’s mug shot.

Across the road from the Rosewood Police Department, Hanna gets into a car Mona is sitting in and comments that she recovered quickly. When Mona questions that Hanna followed her, Hanna tells her she did, before asking whose car they’re in, “is this a rental?” As Mona tries to say something, Hanna says that there was a mug shot of Cyrus Petrillo in her bag, and eithershe set this whole thing up or she’s been blue-scarfing the inside scoop. Mona corrects Hanna by saying that it’s called blue-snarfing, and no, she didn’t set this up, she’s trying to find out who did. Hanna tells Mona she is to, and when she picks up a two way radio, asking what it does, Mona tells her to get out. Hanna mentions that they both know Alison brings the ‘A’ out in her so whether Mona set it all up or not, she doesn’t trust her. When Hanna says she’s not leaving until she finds answers, Mona starts packing up her things and says that if Hanna won’t leave, she will. Noticing Lieutenant Tanner, Kenneth and Alison, Hanna asks Mona if she’s sure she wants to do that, before asking where they are going when they get into Tanner’s car. When Hanna asks what they do now, Mona reopens her laptop and says that they do nothing. Hanna says that they have to find out where they’re going, “we have to follow them”, before telling Mona to “do something”. Mona says that there’s no need to follow, she just gained access to Tanner’s phone. Hanna and Mona listen as Tanner tells control she’s transporting witness to 5th street house, before Mona tells Hanna to take off her seat-belt, and that they’re not there to follow Tanner. Passing Hanna the mug shot of Cyrus Petrillo, Mona tells her that they’re there to follow him.

Hanna asks Mona how long until they release Cyrus, and Mona tells her that according to Tanner’s emails it could be any minute, but he could go out the front or the back. Hanna comments that she would say they split up, “but I wouldn’t trust you telling me what you saw”, and Mona tells her that the feeling is mutual. Hanna questions why Mona told Ms Adinolfi she fainted because of a panic attack, and Mona tells her that’s because she did. As Hanna questions since when does Mona have panic attack, Mona wonders since when does Hanna get sauced before third period. When Hanna doesn’t answer, Mona says that she’ll say it if Hanna won’t - since Alison came back. Mona also explains that Alison scares her to death and that’s why she went on the offensive. Hanna’s cell phone rings and answering it, she apologises to Caleb for not calling him back. After Caleb asks how her audition went, Hanna tells him it went great, but there were a lot of other girls there, “so I probably won’t get it”. Saying that she’s just about to sit down with her mom for dinner, Hanna tells Caleb that she’ll call him after. After Hanna ends the call, Mona comments that Hanna is lying to her boyfriend again, to which Hanna remarks, “oh please. Like Mike Montgomery knows a single real thing about you”. Tanner’s voice comes over the radio and Hanna and Mona listen as Tanner says that the witnessed identified 5th street house and for them to not release the suspect.

In the Marin’s foyer, Caleb asks Hanna how Cyrus got away if Alison identified him, and Hanna says that once the clock stuck 8:10pm, he was a free man, “A must have had a getaway car out back” and by the time Tanner called in the ID, he was gone. Caleb says gone or not, ‘A’ could still use it against them, and Hanna tells him she knows, “but Spencer has a plan”. Caleb questions if it’s a good one, and Hanna tells him no, it’s awful, even for Spencer. Hanna apologises to Caleb for lying to him, “after everything I said yesterday, I didn’t want to tell you I was in a car with Mona spying on Ali”. Caleb tells her they can’t get control back by avoiding what’s going on, before saying that it makes her feel any better, he didn’t exactly have a kale salad for lunch. Laughing, Hanna asks him, “no?”, and Caleb says he at a bacon calzone. Caleb tells Hanna to give him a call if she needs anything, and Hanna tells him that she will, before saying that she loves him and they share a goodbye kiss.

Hanna walks into her kitchen, and when Spencer asks what she’s smiling about, Hanna tells her that it’s just a smile, “don’t sound so concerned”. Turning her attention to Aria, Hanna asks if there is any word on Emily, but Aria tells her not yet. Emily walks in the patio doors, and tells the girls that they can’t trust Alison, and that they need to cut ties with her tonight.

No One Here Can Love or Understand Me

Walking towards the Rosewood Police Department, Hanna and the other girls stop across the street at look towards the precinct. Aria comments that it seems as though they’ve been here before, to which Hanna says that they’ll get it right this time. When Emily comments that this time is different, Spencer mentions that after this, Alison is on her own. As the girls start to cross the street, Emily notices the television screens in the shopfront behind them flickering and tells them all to wait. Walking back towards the shop, security footage of Alison starts playing and Hanna says that it’s from when “Ali came to my hospital room after Mona’s party”. As a message materialises over the images, “we’re all in this together. A”, Emily says that they can’t tell now. When Aria questions why not, Hanna tells her because no one will believe that they didn’t know Alison was alive. As Spencer picks up a brick and runs towards the shopfront, Hanna and the other girls yell out to her and stop her from smashing the window, “it won’t do any good”. When the Alison security footage suddenly changes to the girls standing on the sidewalk looking at the shop window, they start to head back in the direction they originally came from.

Walking into Caleb’s cabin, Hanna startles Caleb awake when she goes to kiss his forehead. Caleb comments that Hanna scared the hell out of him, and having picked up a bottle of vodka that Caleb knocked to the floor, Hanna rhetorically asks him, “what is this?” Caleb tells her that it’s nothing and as they walk into the kitchenette, Hanna says she thought they had a deal. Caleb tells her that it wasn’t so much a deal, it was more an understanding, and when Hanna says that they were going to stop drinking, Caleb mentions that it helps him when he can’t sleep. Hanna wonders why he can’t sleep and instead of answering, Caleb asks her what happened with the police. When Hanna says that they never made it, Caleb asks why not, and Hanna explains that “A chopped us off at the ankles. That’s why not”. Going on, Hanna says that they can’t be telling people that they haven’t seen Alison when there are “pictures of her leaving my hospital room when she was supposed to be dead”. Caleb questions that ‘A’ has those pictures, and Hanna comments that they’re back where they started. As Hanna mentions that they’re always end back where they started, Caleb looks around uncomfortably and Hanna tells him to go ahead, she’s not going to stop him.

At Aria’s locker in school the next day, Hanna tells Aria that Mike deserves “way better than Mona”, only for Spencer to mention that boys hate it when you question their judgement. Walking down the hallway, Hanna tells the girls that she’s had a bad thought, and when Aria questions why Hanna should be any different and that she should share, Hanna says that ‘A’ doesn’t want them telling the truth about Alison because they’d like to see them suffer. Spencer tells her that it’s not new information, to which Hanna emphasises, “but who besides ‘A’ wants to keep us quiet”. Spencer questions if Hanna is thinking of someone in particular, and when Aria suggests Mona, Hanna tells her not Mona. Aria questions whose left, and Emily mentions Alison. Noticing Hanna’s facial expression, Spencer tells her that it is a bad thought. As the school bell rings and Aria and Emily have walked away, Hanna asks Spencer to wait a second. Spencer questions if this is another bad thought, to which Hanna asks if she still talks to Dean. When Spencer asks if she’s referring to her sober coach, and Hanna nods, Spencer says that she hasn’t since her mom fired him. As Spencer asks why, Hanna wonders if Spencer has his number and off of Spencer’s look, Hanna tells her that it’s not for her, “it’s for Caleb”. Spencer asks what’s wrong, and Hanna tells her that she doesn’t know and Caleb won’t tell her. When Spencer questions if this is about Caleb’s drinking, and Hanna says that it’s part of it, Spencer tells her that she can’t just introduce Caleb to a total stranger and get him to open up about his addiction. Hanna desperately tells Spencer that she has to do something, and Spencer mentions that she thinks there is somebody better for him to talk to.

In Spencer’s bedroom, Hanna is sitting on Spencer bed while Spencer is on the phone with Toby. As Spencer ends the call, Hanna asks her if she’s sure about this, and Spencer says that Caleb will listen to Toby and that they shouldn’t underestimate the power of a good bromance. Spencer goes to hand her coat behind up behind her door, and noticing an envelope, Hanna draws Spencer’s attention to it. When Spencer says that it’s from Melissa, Hanna stands up and walks a few steps towards Spencer. After Spencer has rushed to her door and called out for Melissa, Hanna asks “what is it?”, only for Spencer to say that Melissa has gone. Hanna asks where Melissa went, and Spencer reads out Melissa’s note, saying that Peter was taking her to the airport and that Spencer will know everything soon. Hanna questions why Peter would make Melissa leave, to which Spencer says that she doesn’t know.

Walking down the street, Hanna tells Emily and Aria that Melissa’s note said that Spencer should know everything soon. Emily asks what that’s supposed to mean, and while Hanna shakes her head, Aria says that it means what it always means. Going on, Aria explains that nobody tells you anything when you want to know it, only when they feel like telling it, and Hanna adds that they only tell you enough to make you crazy to know more. Running a hand over her forehead and through her hair, Hanna announces that she’s had another bad thought, “I’m sorry, they just keep showing up in my head”. When Emily asks what this one is, Hanna says that Alison left town, but ‘A’ said she couldn’t, so what changed. Aria says that Alison made a deal with Noel, so maybe she made a deal with somebody else, and Emily questions if Aria thinks Alison made a deal with ‘A’ to leave town. Emily questions what kind of a deal Alison would have made, but neither Hanna nor Aria have an explanation. Hanna, Emily and Aria all turn around when they hear Lieutenant Tanner’s voice greeting them, before the Lieutenant comments that it’s lucky to get most of them at the same time, and that she was hoping that they could talk, her treat.

Sitting down at an outdoor table with coffees, Hanna and the girls listen as Tanner tells that that if they’re concerned about the suspect who was released prematurely and she wants to assure them that they will catch him. Tanner gets up to leave before turning back and questioning who the girls think killed Bethany Young. Looking briefly towards Emily, Hanna questions, “who we think killed her?”, to which Tanner says that they must have thought about it. After Tanner has walked away, Aria comments that she thinks she’s going to be sick, and as Hanna places a hand on her shoulder.

Hiding out in a shopfront entry, Hanna is on the phone with Spencer who tells her that they’re all set and all she needs to do is get Caleb to the Apple Rose Grille. Hanna mentions that Tanner thinks they killed Bethany Young, and when Spencer asks what she’s talking about, Hanna tells her, “Tanner, she thinks we did it”. Spencer questions if Tanner said that to them, and when Hanna mentions “not in so many words”, Spencer asks how many words and in what order. Spencer asks where they were and when it happened, and Hanna says at the Mermaid Café, “me and Emily and Aria”. Going on, Hanna explains that Tanner came up to tell them that the Police are trying to catch “Cyrus what’s his name”, but she ended up saying they were trying to connect them with Bethany. Spencer says that there is no connection, to which Hanna tells her that there wasn’t before, but there is now, and they made it themselves, “when Aria got those drawings and you went to go meet a man about a horse”. Hanna then tells Spencer that she doesn’t think the police are believing a word Alison is saying and they still think that they’re five musketeers. Spencer says that she’s got Toby at her place, and for Hanna to just get Caleb to the Apple Rose Grille at 7:30pm, and that they’ll just talk then.

At the Apple Rose Grille, Hanna tells Toby is not push it, and when she feels as though Caleb is relaxed enough, she’ll tap him on the foot and that’s the heads up that she’s going to change the subject. Toby tells Hanna not to make such a big deal out of it, to which Hanna says that it is a big deal. As Caleb walks in, Spencer gives Hanna the heads up, and Hanna tells them to just play dumb. When Spencer calls Hanna out, Hanna says that Toby knows what she’s talking about. Getting up out of her chair, Hanna kisses Caleb in greeting, before listening as Toby tells Caleb that Hanna says that he’s having trouble sleeping. As Hanna shoots a look towards Spencer, Spencer tells Hanna not to look at her and that this must be how boys communicate. When Caleb tries to walk out of the Grille, Toby tells him that Hanna is scared and if he walks away, she’s still going to be afraid. As Toby questions if Caleb wants things to stay like that, Caleb looks towards Hanna.

Sitting at the window bench, Spencer tells Hanna that the boys are talking and that talking is good. Hanna wonders what Caleb can say to Toby that he can’t say to her, and Spencer mentions that sometimes people want to tell you things but they just can’t look you in the eye and say it. When Hanna questions why not, Spencer says that it’s because they’re afraid of what you’ll think of them, that they let you down, that you let them down. Hanna says that if you love someone then you should be able to tell them anything, and Spencer tells her that that’s the theory.

As Caleb gets up from his seat, Hanna grabs her jacket and goes to go after him but he brushes her off and keeps on walking out of the establishment.

Sitting in the dark in Caleb’s cabin, Hanna turns on the lamp as Caleb walks in and starts to pack up his things, “going somewhere?” Caleb tells her that he shouldn’t have come back, and that she had no right to pull some stupid intervention on him. As Caleb packs, Hanna tells him that he’s right about that, so she came here to apologise, “but that was an hour ago and I changed her mind, sitting here in the dark wondering if you’re in an alley somewhere or wrapped around a tree”. Caleb says that he can take care of himself, but Hanna tells him that he can’t. Turning to face her, Caleb questions her, and Hanna tells him that she said no, “you can’t”. Hanna mentions that Caleb thinks he can, and usually he can, but this time he’s wrong and he knows it. Hanna tells Caleb that she’ll fight for him, but he has to trust her, and if they don’t trust each other, she may as well help him pack.

Sitting on the sofa, Hanna listens as Caleb tells her that they called it a pact, but what Ravenswood made was a contract. When Hanna questions “with this preacher?”, Caleb says that it was with what the preacher represented, but all contracts have loopholes. Hanna asks Caleb what he did, “you and the others”, and Caleb says that they took the jars down to the bridge where the car went in the water that first night and they opened them, all of them, and released whatever was inside. Hanna wonders what happened, and Caleb tells her nothing for a minute, then the woods were filled with fireflies, millions of them. Caleb says that they drifted up into the trees and they were gone. When Hanna asks what happened after that, Caleb says that there were no demons, no messages, no revenge. As Hanna mentions that there was also “no Miranda”, Caleb says that she was gone. Hanna tells him that he kept his promise, he took care of her, and Caleb tells her that he has spent this whole time trying to talk himself into that. Hanna says that he did help her, “and now you’re back with me”. Caleb mentions that he’s not the same person as when he left Rosewood, and standing up, Hanna tells him he is, she knows him. Caleb picks the planchette from the Ouija board and tells Hanna that it’s not just a toy, it’s real, people turned it into a game and they forgot what it’s really for, they forgot because they were afraid of it. Going on, Caleb tells Hanna that there is a whole other world, just right past the corner of their eye and he’s seen it. Hanna realises that’s why Caleb can’t sleep, and Caleb tells her that he can sleep, he’s just afraid of his own dreams. When Hanna asks why, Caleb takes a moment before saying that after she died, the first time Miranda talked to him was in a dream, and that he’s just afraid that she’s going to show up again and she’s going to tell him that he was all wrong, and that she’s not okay, and that it’s his fault. Hanna tells Caleb that maybe he’s not the same person he was when he left, but she’s not exactly who she used to be either. Saying that they’ll get through this, Hanna tells him that she didn’t come this far not to have a happy ending. Putting the planchette down on the coffee table, Hanna wraps her arm around Caleb’s neck and draws him into a kiss.

Standing at the cabin’s screen door, Hanna looks out into the night, watching the fireflies in the trees. Walking back into the cabin, she grabs her phone from her bag and typing in a number, she goes to call someone.

Taking This One to the Grave

Standing by a police vehicle as a house is taped off as a crime scene, Hanna and Emily, along with Aria and Ezra, stand huddled together, visibly upset and shaken. Officer Barry Maple approaches them and says that he’ll take their statements now, one at a time. As Barry tells Hanna that they should head over to the porch, and that she can walk him through this, Hanna tells him no, “no. I-I, can’t go back up there. I don’t want to see that again”. Fighting back tears and emotions, Hanna slightly turns towards Emily who holds her close. Hanna, Emily and Aria’s cell phones ring with an incoming text, and Emily reads it aloud, “it’s all your fault. –A”.

Hanna, Aria, Emily and Spencer stand in the foyer of Mona’s house, waiting for Mona to come down from her bedroom. After Mona’s mother has left the girls to it, Mona questions why they are sporting grim faces, and if someone has died. After the four girls share a look, Hanna tells Mona that they need her help. After quick looking to see where her mother is, Mona asks what she did to them, to which Hanna says, “nothing… yet”. Aria mentions that they think it’s about what she’s about to do, to which Emily says they’ve just found out Alison is at the police station and that she’s talking to the cops. When Mona guesses that the girls don’t know what Alison is telling the police, Spencer says that a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. As Hanna questions whether Ali said that, both Spencer and Mona tell her no, Churchill did. Hanna says that they’ve been lying for Alison ever since she got back, and therefore they need to know what story she’s telling the cops. Confused, Mona asks why they don’t just ask Alison, to which Emily says that they don’t believe that Alison will tell them the truth

Hanna and the other girls listen as Mona tells them that Alison stole her life from her when she crowned Mona, Rosewood’s biggest loser. After Mona says that Alison was so convincing that even Mona was starting to believe her, Hanna questions whether this means that Mona will help them, to which Mona says that she knows she owes the girls for everything she’s done to them, but she’s already number one on Alison’s hit list, and she’s afraid of what Alison would do if she found out she was siding with the Liars. Leona walks in, saying that she doesn’t mean to interrupt their girl talk, but she wanted to bring some cookies out while they were still warm. When Leona asks if chocolate chip is still Hanna’s favourite, Hanna says that it was “so nice” of her, but Emily tells Leona that they have to go. As Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily start to stand up, Mona asks them if they’ve ever been so focused on something that it takes over everything else, turns you into someone that you’re not. Pausing slightly, Mona says that she took all her Ali anger out on the Liars and she’s sorry for that. As Spencer, Aria and Emily head towards the door, Hanna walks over to where Mona is standing. When Spencer turns back and calls out Hanna’s name, Hanna tells her that she’s waiting for the cookies.

As Leona passes Hanna a Tupperware container of cookies, Hanna thanks her, before adding that chocolate chip are still her favourite. Mona says that she’ll see Hanna at school, and after Hanna agrees, “yeah”, Mona heads back up to her bedroom. Hanna tells Leona that it was nice to see her, and as she’s walking towards the door, Leona calls Hanna back. As Hanna turns back, Leona says that she needs to ask if it’s starting again, now that Alison’s back. Hanna says that she’s not friends with Alison anymore so she doesn’t really know she’s doing, but she does think that Mona is afraid of her, “we all are”.

In the girls bathroom at Rosewood High, Mona tells Emily, Spencer, Hanna and Aria that Alison volunteered to take the polygraph. Emily asks how she knows that, to which Hanna, Aria and Spencer tell her that she’s Mona. Mona starts to explain that after the girls left the night before, she did some recon, but before she can finish, Spencer interrupts saying that Alison would never put herself at risk unless she believed her story. Mona tells them that if you believe a lie, it becomes the truth, and why lie to yourself, unless… After Mona trails off, Hanna comments that Alison only would if she did something so bad, she doesn’t want to believe she did it. Mona says that she thinks Alison took the lie detector test because she’s not having fun anymore, and that she can’t play with her dolls if the girls won’t let her. Going on, Mona says that this is how Alison is ending the game. Hanna wonders “what game?”, and when Emily says, the game. Aria questions if Mona thinks Alison is ‘A’, and when Mona nods, Hanna comments, “I’m not the only one having bad thoughts”. Mona mentions that Alison assembled the perfect group - smart, loyal, admiring, and compassionate. Aria asks what the perfect group is for, before Spencer realises that it’s the perfect group for a sociopath to manipulate. Mona says that she can find out what Alison told the cops, and maybe it’ll give the Liars a fighting chance to get their story straight. Hanna asks Mona why she’s helping them, and Mona explains that she’s got early acceptance letters from three colleges, but she has to survive senior year, and she can’t do it alone. Mona tells them that no one can know that she’s doing this, otherwise the deal is off, and that includes their bed buddies. Mona tells them to do whatever they were going to do today and to act normal. As Cindy and Mindy walk into the bathroom, Hanna and the other girls try to make themselves discreet.

Walking out of the Fields’ house, Hanna comments to Emily that when Mona said to act normal, she probably didn’t mean that they needed to decorate Emily’s house. Emily explains that this is the one thing she does every year for her and her family, and she’s not going to let Alison take that away from her. After Emily offers Hanna a glass of eggnog and Hanna refuses, “no thanks”, Emily says that if Hanna can’t find Christmas in her heart, she’s not going to find it underneath a tree. Taking the glass of eggnog, Hanna steps down off the porch.

Hanna and Caleb are having trouble with some fairy lights, and Caleb asks Hanna which one she touched. As Hanna says she touched all of them, “I don’t know”, Emily walks past and tells them to try one of the red ones because they always go out. When the lights start to work, Emily comments that she told them so, and that they all should deck the halls and fa la la la la. When Emily has walked off, Caleb asks what is wrong with Emily, to which Hanna tells him to read her boobs, “the girl loves Christmas”.

Hanna and Caleb are still sorting out the lights when Hanna gets an incoming call from Mona, but she tells Caleb that it is her mom calling.

Having ended her call, Hanna walks over to Emily and Caleb at the nativity scene, where Caleb asks how everything is at home. Hanna tells him everything is good, Ashley just needs cranberries. Knitting his brows slightly together, Caleb tells Hanna that they were on the list, and that they should be in the fridge. Hanna tells Caleb that she knows, but her grandma likes the canned kind, “you know, the ones you slice”. Emily pipes in and says that she thought Hanna’s grandmother always made a salad with cranberries and marshmallows in it. After Hanna gives Emily a look, Emily realises her mistake and says, or not. After Emily has gotten up to leave, Caleb asks Hanna what that was, and when Hanna asks, “what was what?”, Caleb tells her that he knows when she’s lying to him.

In Spencer’s kitchen, Hanna, Emily, Spencer, Aria and Mona watch Alison’s polygraph test where she says that Aria, Hanna and Emily were in the barn that night and that they were all still asleep when she left. When asked where she last saw Spencer Hastings, Alison says that Spencer came to her house. The conductor questions that Alison was the leader of the group, and Alison tells him she unofficially was. He proceeds to ask if her friends would do anything to help her, if she needed them, and Alison comments that she thinks so. When asked if Spencer was a loyal friend, Alison says she was as far as she knew. The conductor proceeds to ask why Spencer was at Alison’s house, and Alison says that it was her fault and that she pushed Spencer to that place. When asked what place, Alison explains that Spencer was angry. The conductor asks whether Alison knew that Spencer was abusing amphetamines, and when Alison tells him that she found out that night, he questions if that’s because Spencer was under the influence, to which Alison says that Spencer dropped her pills and that she saw what they were. Alison is then asked if she would say that Spencer was desperate, and when Alison asks what for, the conductor questions if Spencer was desperate enough for Alison to keep her secret. Alison explains that Spencer was emotional, but Alison promised her that she wouldn’t say anything. The conductor questions what in return for Alison’s silence was Spencer willing to do, to which Alison says that she wouldn’t know, they never discussed it again. The conductor then proceeds to ask if there is something else Alison would like to tell him, and Alison takes the opportunity to say that she didn’t have anything to do with Bethany Young’s murder.

Emily comments that nothing Alison said was really that incriminating, however, Mona says that she thinks that the questions they’re asking tells them more about their investigation than what Alison’s answers do. Hanna asks how so, and Mona as a way of answering, Mona reiterates the questions asked - was Spencer a loyal friend? Was she desperate? Spencer questions what she was desperate enough to do what, but pulls herself short when Caleb walks in. Caleb however tells her that the police are questioning whether or not Spencer was desperate enough to kill Bethany. Hanna walks up to Caleb, telling him he was supposed to keep that secret, but Caleb tells her that Mona came to him. With a grin, Mona says that she knew Hanna would tell Caleb, so she asked for his help. Emily asks if there are any other helpers coming, to which Aria quickly states that she didn’t tell her bed buddy, and Spencer says that she didn’t either. Hanna tells the girls that she’s sorry, “but could you lie to that face?” Caleb tells the girls that he unlocked two more files, and as the girls gather around his laptop, Caleb explains that the cops gained access to Bethany’s Radley files yesterday. While Caleb says that he couldn’t open that link, he did find an affidavit that Holbrook sent today. Emily reads aloud that the information the cops obtained from Bethany Young’s hospital records inform the theory they’ve been working since day one - Spencer Hastings murdered Young to gain favour with the group’s leader, Alison. When Hanna wonders why killing Bethany would score points with Ali, Spencer says that Alison told them that she knew she was taking the pills, so the police now think that Spencer would have done anything to make Alison keep it a secret. As Spencer goes to call her parents, and Emily says that she thinks they should find out what the police found in Bethany’s files, Spencer tells the Liars that this is on her, and that they don’t have to do anything else. Hanna tells Spencer that they’re going to stick together, and Aria adds that it’s because that’s what they do, before the Liars rally around Spencer.

Hanna and Caleb sit in Hanna’s car as Caleb hacks into Radley’s security. Hanna asks if he’s in, and after a few more keystrokes, Caleb tells her that they are. Speaking into her cell phone earpiece, Hanna tells Spencer and Mona, who are dressed as Radley nurses, that they are a “code go. I repeat, code go”. As Spencer and Mona enter through the back doors, Hanna and Caleb share a nervous look.

Hanna and Caleb watch as a car pulls up at the back exit doors of Radley. When they notice Holbrook get out of the driver’s side, they quickly try to make themselves discreet, with Hanna speaking into her earpiece, “holy crap. We’ve got company”. When Mona reminds ‘H’ to use her codes, Hanna questions her, “seriously?”, before adding, “red light, do you hear me”. As Mona announces that she and Spencer are in the file room, Hanna tells her that she said red light, “as in, the cherry on top of a cop car”.

Hanna is leaving a voicemail for Emily, asking if “she” is still there, because Holbrook is at Radley and it’s getting weird. Caleb asks Hanna what the papers he’s hold are, and when Hanna tries to feign innocence, Caleb tells her to stop stalling. Hanna tells him it’s obviously a list of colleges, to which Caleb tells her that it’s a list of schools that only brainiacs go to. Hanna tells him “yeah, so”, and when Caleb gives her a lot, Hanna asks if he knows the test they make you take, “the S.C.T’s?” Furrowing his brows, Caleb asks if she means the S.A.T’s, and telling him she doesn’t remember which one it was, Hanna goes on to say that apparently she did kind of good on it. When Caleb asks how good is kind of good, Hanna tells him it was good enough that the guidance counsellor called her in for cheating, “but I didn’t, cheat”.

Leaving the file room, Mona and Spencer see Holbrook interviewing two Radley staff members. As Mona tells Hanna that they need to find another way out, Hanna says that they can use the back staircase and that she and Caleb can trip the emergency exit.

As Aria gets in the car, Hanna asks her what Holbrook is doing at Radley, and Aria tells her that he’s asking questions about Spencer.

At the Brew, Hanna comments to Emily that she can’t believe they’re making her work on Thanksgiving, when Emily goes to refill Spencer’s coffee mug. After Aria tells Spencer that it was not her fault, Hanna asks whether she was at the hospital all night, and Spencer says she was. Paige walks up to the girls wanting to talk to Emily, before explaining to them all that she saw Alison leaving Emily’s house last night, and that Cindy and Mindy were her ride. Going on, Paige says that she followed them to an abandoned farm, before announcing that Alison is building an army of her own. Suddenly, Detective Holbrook walks into the Brew and announces that Spencer is under the arrest for the murder of Bethany Young. Hanna watches on shocked as Spencer is placed in handcuffs, before joining in a chorus with Emily and Aria who plead Spencer’s innocence. As Spencer is led out, Hanna tells Spencer that they’ll call her parents, and Emily adds that they’ll get Spencer out.

Standing by a police vehicle as the Vanderwaal house is taped off as a crime scene, Hanna and Caleb, along with Emily and Paige, and Aria and Ezra, stand huddled together, visibly upset and shaken. Caleb listen on as Detective Holbrook tells the waiting press that while the investigation is ongoing, they have ruled what has happened a homicide and that Mona Vanderwaal was murdered.

How the 'A' Stole Christmas

The Liars are walking down the main street of Rosewood, with Hanna listening as Spencer says that instead of giving gifts to each other, she and Toby have agreed to surprise each other with a gesture. Hanna questions if the gesture is like the clowns, and when Emily asks what clowns, Hanna says “court jesters. They’re clowns, right?”, before everyone laughs. Stopping at the snowflake wishing tree, Emily tries to hand Hanna a snowflake, but Hanna tells her that the last time she was “here”, she was with Mona...

In a flashback, Hanna and Mona are at the snowflake wishing tree. Hanna asks Mona what she wished for, and Mona tells Hanna that she is her first friend, so she wished for them to always stay close. Hanna tells her they will, “besties forever. I promise”. Mona then asks Hanna what she wished for, and after Hanna tells her she wished for Jimmy Choo’s, Mona tells her she’s getting those. When Hanna questions that she is, Mona comments that if Santa doesn’t bring them, they’ll steal ‘em.

...Snapping out of her flashback, Hanna tells Emily that wishes don’t come true, “if they did, people wouldn’t die”. After Aria comments that she thinks Alison is throwing a Masquerade Ice Ball to rub it in their faces about ruining their lives, Spencer reminds her that technically Alison only ruined her life. Hanna then says that Alison got everything she wanted, “Mona’s gone. Bethany’s dead. And now she’s making Spencer go down for it”. A man approaches Hanna and hands her a business card, before explaining that Mona Vanderwaal obtained him to handle her affairs in the event of her demise, and that he was instructed to wait 30 days after her death to deliver an envelope to Hanna personally. After the lawyer walks off, Hanna comments she’s too afraid to open it, so Emily does for her. Emily says that the papers inside are drawings of Alison’s house, and Aria adds that it also includes all of Alison’s hiding places. Hanna also finds a note inside the envelope and tells the girls that it’s from Mona, “Hey Han, if you’re reading this, she’s still playing the game and I’m talking to you from the grave. But I went out fighting and that’s what you need to do. Promise me you won’t give up, Hanna. You have to keep looking. Kisses, M”. After reading the note, Hanna mentions that she promised Mona that they’d always stick together. Hanna questions that ‘A’ keeps souvenirs, and when Emily corrects her, asking if she means Alison, Spencer comments that it’s a different name, but the same bitch. Hanna then says that there has to be something in Alison’s house that proves she killed Bethany, “and Spencer didn’t”. Aria receives a snow globe from Santa when she donates some money, and after shaking it up, she finds a photo of the Liars inside. Turning the snow glove over, Aria finds a message from ‘A’, “A takes a holiday. You should too”.

In the Rosewood Church, Hanna, dressed as an elf, passes out gifts to young children, “Merry Christmas”. Hanna asks where her friend Claire is, and when Claire walks over, Hanna says that she hasn’t signed since fat camp, “my bunk mate was hard of hearing”, before signing Merry Christmas. When Caleb walks over to her, Hanna asks him what’s wrong, and giving Hanna a look, Caleb says that he’s pretty sure some kid peed on him, and that mean little girl keeps calling him Dumb Dumb. Hanna asks what mean girl he’s referring to, and Caleb tells her he’s talking about Ali’s little mini me. As Caleb points out who the mean girl is, Hanna and Caleb listen as she tells her friends that they can call Claire, whatever they want, because she can’t hear them. Unfolding her arms, Hanna tells the group of five girls to “get over here. All of you”, before refolding her arms over her chest. Hanna tells the group that she’s only going to say this once, “you mess with Claire, you deal with me”. The instigator comments that she’s shaking with fear, and Hanna tells her that she better start looking over her shoulder, “because you’re making a lot of enemies. And in Rosewood, bitches get buried”. As the instigator begins to walk out, Hanna tells the rest of the group that they don’t need a leader, they just need each other. As the remaining four girls who to sit with Claire, Caleb comments that he would say that she put the fear of Hanna in her. Hanna then mentions that Mona used to say that when someone shows you who they are, you believe them. Turning back towards Caleb, Hanna tells him that she doesn’t think people change, they just get better at hiding it, “but mean girls stay mean”.

At the Masquerade Ice Ball, Aria, Emily, Spencer and Hanna stand under a lit up gazebo. When Hanna comments that she still doesn’t see Alison anywhere, Aria says that she’s probably waiting to make her grand entrance, and Emily adds that Alison will have her arrival timed to the perfect song. Hanna mentions that they can’t leave until Alison gets here. As Spencer mentions that she’s going to have her photo taken with Santa Claus, Hanna, Emily and Aria head off together in another direction.

Hanna and Caleb, along with Emily and Paige, and Aria and Ezra, slow dance under the lit up gazebo, until everyone turns their attention to the top of the staircase. Walking to the edge of the gazebo, Hanna, Caleb, the other couples and Spencer watch as Alison, followed by four other girls, make their grand entrance. Hanna queries who the other girls are, but her question hangs in the air unanswered. As Alison greets some of the guests, Spencer turns to Hanna and tells her that they should get out of here while everyone is still basking in the glow of Ali. Hanna begins to step down from the gazebo when Caleb calls out her name and kisses her when she turns back around, before telling her to be careful.

In the darkness of the DiLaurentis living room, Hanna taps Spencer on the shoulder, who gasps as she turns around. Spencer tells Hanna not to sneak up on her like that, and Hanna says that she’s sorry. Hanna asks why they’re whispering if they’re the only ones in the house, and Spencer whispers that she doesn’t know, before Hanna wonders if they can talk in a normal voice, because it’s spooking her out. Passing Hanna one of Mona’s maps, Spencer tells her to take the upstairs, and she’ll take the downstairs. Hanna then questions, “on a creepy scale, how high would you rate breaking into Ali’s house?”, and Spencer says that on a scale of one to ten, it’s a twenty.

In Alison’s bedroom, Hanna looks over Mona’s map, before reaching for a bird cage in the corner of the room. Finding a latch that removes a false bottom on the cage, Hanna discovers a passport.

Walking back into the living room, Hanna asks Spencer is the name Holly Varjak means anything to her. When Spencer doesn’t answer, Hanna calls out Spencer’s name, and Spencer asks her what. Hanna then says that is Ali wants to get out of town in a hurry, she’s ready to go, “as Holly Varjak”. Looking over the passport, Spencer mentions that Alison is writing her happy ending. Hanna asks “to what?”, and Spencer says the happy ending is for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and it’s probably the movie, not the book. Going on, Spencer explains that Ezra always says that Alison was his Holly Golightly, and Paul Varjak was the one who convinced Holly that it was okay to be loved. Spencer also says that in Alison’s manic mind Holly and Paul got married. Hanna then wonders how Spencer fits all of that information into her one head, before asks Spencer what the newspaper clippings are. Spencer tells her that Ali was talking to somebody through the personal ads, like she did with Mona back when Mona was ‘A’.

In the DiLaurentis attic, Hanna turns on the light before she kneels to the ground and attempts to open a padlock. With no luck, Hanna grabs Mona’s map, and after looking at it, she crawls over to a smaller box and finds the key to the padlock. Unlocking the padlock, Hanna opens the chest box, and finds an excellence in archery award that was presented to Alison. As Hanna continues to search through the chest, she finds a voice recorder and pressing play, Alison voices booms, telling her to get out of her stuff or she’ll kill her. Startled, Hanna closes the chest box and picks up Mona’s map.

Winding up a jack in the box, Hanna gasps when it pops open. Searching the jack in a box for clues, Hanna reads the words ‘mad hatter’ on the side of the box, and looking around the attic, Hanna notices a stack of hat boxes, “mad hatter”.

Hanna is going through one of the hat boxes which is filled with letters, “God, I only had one pen pal… Ali had a whole fan club”. Finding one letter, Hanna reads out, “can’t wait to see you”, before finding out that the letter was written to Alison, from Bethany, “and she invited her here for Labor Day”.

Hearing a creak on the stairs, Hanna shoves Bethany’s letter down her bra. Calling out to Spencer, Hanna begins to walk towards the stairs.

At the top of the attic staircase, Hanna again calls out to Spencer.

Walking down the stairs, Hanna gasps as the door swings open, revealing ‘A’ to be standing there, before letting out a scream.

Hanna is lying unconscious on the attic floor, when Spencer comes in and coaxes her awake. As Hanna gain consciousness, she sits upright, and Spencer tells her that it’s okay and that she’s gone.

In the Hastings’ living room, Caleb holds an icepack to Hanna’s head as they and the other couples listens as Toby says that the letter Hanna found proves that Alison knew Bethany, and that it may create enough reasonable doubt to clear Spencer’s name. As the clock strikes midnight, Hanna holds onto Caleb’s arm when he places it over her shoulder.

Hanna listens as Emily tells the Liars that her mom called her friend at highway patrol, and that they don’t expect the roads to be cleared until tomorrow. Emily mentions that it’s the first time she’s not with her parents her Christmas, and Aria says that it’s the same for her. Hanna tells them that her mom always said that Christmas was wherever they were, “as long as we’re together”. Suddenly Caleb’s voice tells the girls that they are… together, and looking up, Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily find their partners standing on the stairs in nothing but Santa boxers, “seriously?”

Hanna and Caleb joke around with some Christmas decorations, as everyone else huddles around the island bench in the Hastings’ kitchen.

Sitting by the roaring fire, Hanna looks at a photo of Mona on her phone. When Caleb sits down next to her, Hanna tells him that Mona should be with them tonight, “the only reason we’re celebrating is because of her”, before Caleb pulls her into a hug.

Hanna and the others sit at the table, as Ezra serves up Christmas chicken. As Ezra sits down, Aria tells them that they should all say a prayer, and they link hands with one another.

Laughing and enjoying each others company, everyone starts to serve their plates with food.

Hanna listens as Emily toasts to their family, may they always stay together, before clinking glasses with everyone. Suddenly everyone hears the sound of bells and as something falling down the chimney, Hanna questions, “Santa?” Getting up from the table, everyone heads outside where they find a Christmas tree all lit up in Spencer’s backyard. As they’re admiring the tree, snow starts falling and a message over Spencer’s barn lights up, “Merry Christmas, Bitches. –A”.

Through a Glass, Darkly

Hanna, along with Emily, Aria and Spencer walk out of the Rosewood Church following Mona’s funeral service. Emily questions if they know Mona’s coffin is empty, and Spencer tells her that it’s a casket and it still weighs a tonne. Hanna explains that Mona’s mom put keepsakes in it, “stuffed animals, photo albums, her old retainer”. Spencer tells Hanna that it’s called a cenotaph, and that they have them for soldiers whose bodies are never found. When Hanna tells Spencer to “never say never”, Emily reminds her that it’s been over three months - no body, no murder weapon – and when Aria adds that there has also been no arrest. Hanna and the girls notice Alison approach Leona Vanderwaal, and Hanna comments that they “have to get her out of here”, and they all start to move towards Alison. Pausing as Alison starts talking with Leona, Hanna, like everyone else, is stunned when a grieving Leona slaps Alison. Hanna walks over and tells Leona that it is okay, before she leads her away from Alison.

Standing in the doorway of Mona’s bedroom, Hanna calls out to Leona and explains that she put a load in the dishwasher, before asking if Leona needs any help folding the chairs. When Leona tells her no, it’s alright, Hanna says that she thinks she’ll go. As Hanna turns to walk from the bedroom, Leona takes a deep breath and apologises about what happened at the service, it was just seeing Alison, alive. Hanna tells her that people understand, and Leona says that it was like Mona was lost at sea. Leona tells Hanna that she accepted that Mona is dead, but she wonders where she is. Leona then questions why she held a funeral for an empty casket, and Hanna tells her that she was trying to find a way to say goodbye, “we all are, and that funeral probably helped a lot of people”, to which Leona says that she hopes it helped someone. Hanna tells her that she’s just going to fold the chairs before she goes, and as Hanna goes to leave, Leona grabs a stuff dog from Mona’s bed. Calling Hanna back, Leona tells her that she wants her to take care of the stuffed animal.

In the Marin kitchen, Hanna is serving Caleb and herself some ice cream. Caleb questions that Hanna stayed with Mona’s mom after the others left, and Hanna tells him that they cleaned up, “and she told me how she wished she would have done more when Mona told her about Alison”. Shaking her head, Hanna mentions that she wanted to crawl under a rug, “we pushed her to help us”, but Caleb tells her that Mona was on Alison’s radar long before that. Hanna says that she still feels awful, before asking if Caleb’s had any luck with Mona’s laptop. Shaking his head and picking up the laptop, Caleb says no, and he now knows why Mona wasn’t afraid to let him keep it. Saying that it is completely encrypted and secured unlike anything he’s ever seen, Caleb tells Hanna that the only thing he knows for sure is that there are chunks of the hard drive that he is completely locked out of. Hanna says that Mona went to all that trouble so there must be something important on there, and Caleb tells her that he’s not giving up, his ego’s at stake now. Hanna then asks Caleb what he thinks Alison did with Mona’s body, and Caleb says that Alison’s the only one with that information, and he doesn’t see her making that public knowledge. Hanna mentions that maybe there’s somebody else who knows, or somebody who could find out, and when Caleb asks who, Hanna tells him, “Mrs Grunwald”. Getting up from the island bench, Caleb tells her that it’s not a good idea. Hanna says that she’s a psychic, “a real psychic. She’s not some card flipper at the carnival. She has a real gift and we both know it”. Turning back to face Hanna, Caleb tells her that she can’t mess around with that stuff, and that Hanna should believe him. Standing up, Hanna questions who else they can ask, before stating that Mrs Grunwald saved Alison when Mrs D planted her, and that she knows all of them. When Hanna says that Mrs Grunwald seems to like them in “some disturbing, creepy sort of way”, Caleb tells her that it’s not like lowjack, and Hanna cannot just call her up and ask her where the body is. Going on, Caleb says that even if Mrs Grunwald could tell Hanna, how she would explain to Mrs Vanderwaal where she got the information, or the police. Telling Hanna that he knows how she feels about Mona’s mom, Caleb mentions that calling the Grunwald is not going to help anybody.

At the Hastings house, Hanna listens as Spencer says that Bethany Young’s family are talking with the judges right now, it could be today, it could be tomorrow. When Spencer adds that Veronica is at the courthouse and she’s trying to fight it, Hanna tells her that that’s crazy and they can’t just revoke her bail. Aria asks Hanna how Caleb is doing with Mona’s laptop, and Hanna tells her that he’s not giving up, but he’s not getting anywhere either.

At the Mausoleum, Hanna watches Mrs Grunwald smell the roses that are placed at Mona’s cenotaph. Hanna thanks her for coming, and Mrs Grunwald in return thanks her for remembering her. When Hanna says that she’s “hard to forget”, Mrs Grunwald says that she’ll take that as a compliment. Mrs Grunwald has her hand placed on the scripture of Mona’s burial chamber, and Hanna tells her that there is nobody in there, “it’s empty”. Mrs Grunwald says that she knows, and walking over to Hanna, she asks how Hanna thinks that she can help. Hanna tells Mrs Grunwald that she wants her help to find the body of the girl that’s supposed to be in that box. After Hanna adds that they think Alison killed her, Mrs Grunwald straightens before moving back over to Mona’s chamber. Mrs Grunwald wonders how Hanna expects her to find Mona, and walking over to her, Hanna passes Mrs Grunwald a stuffed toy dog. Looking into the stuffed animal’s eyes and stroking its head, Mrs Grunwald murmurs, little Bungee. Hanna questions what she said, and Mrs Grunwald asks if that’s his name. Hanna wonders how Mrs Grunwald knew, and looking at Hanna, Mrs Grunwald gives her a knowing smile.

With her arms folded over her chest, Hanna listens as Mrs Grunwald tries to connect with Mona’s body, and utters single words – gates, and walls, dams, barriers. Turning to Hanna, Mrs Grunwald opens her eyes and asks how she can live in such a psychically constipated environment, to which Hanna replies, “I eat a lot of fiber”. Mrs Grunwals tells Hanna that secrets are one thing, but secrets that carry over into death are very toxic. Going on, Mrs Grunwald explains that it makes it very hard to see clearly, but she does see as through a glass, darkly. Hanna asks if Alison killed Mona, and holding up her hand, Mrs Grunwald turns her back on Hanna, and Hanna looks over her shoulder as rose petals fall from Mona’s cenotaph. Turning back to Mrs Grunwald, Hanna listens as Mrs Grunwald says that each one hated the other, because each one feared the other, because each one knew something about the other. Hanna asks where Mona is, but Mrs Grunwald doesn’t answer. Looking back over her shoulder, Hanna watches as more rose petals fall. Finally, Mrs Grunwald tells Hanna that Mona isn’t in Rosewood, she’s in the dark, and she’s not having an easy passing. Going on, Mrs Grunwald says that there is betrayal and loss, and that Mona’s soul is gaunt and bound. Hanna listens with bated breath as Mrs Grunwald says that Mona is surrounded by earth, insects and the cold, and that there is no peace, only fear.

At Spencer’s house with Spencer and Emily, a bewildered Hanna tells them that they can tell Mona’s mom that she’s got cameras in her moulding. When Hanna questions why it has to be her, Emily tells her that Leona likes Hanna, and if she suggests the police should take another look, she’ll listen. Spencer then says that Hanna should tell Leona that Mona said something about cameras, and how she was scared. Hanna asks what makes them so sure it was Mona’s camera, and Emily says that it Mona’s mom knew it was there, she would have told the police. Hanna questions why Spencer can’t just ask Toby, “I’m mean he just joined the police force”, to which Spencer asks if Hanna wants her to tell him that she found it while she was trying to plant evidence. As Hanna tells them that she has to take a step back from the “Mona of it all”, Emily mentions the camera was pointed right at the blood they saw inside of Mona’s front door and it must have seen what happened.

In Mona’s bedroom, Hanna listens as Leona tells her she’s decided to set up a fund to buy books for the children’s library. Going on, Leona says that inside of each book there will be a card with Mona explaining that the book is a gift from her. Hanna says that she thinks that’s a really nice idea, and passing a book to Hanna, Leona mentions that Mona loved to read, and for a long time, Leona believes that that’s all she had…

In a flashback, Hanna holds onto Henry James’ ‘Terminations’. Mona asks Hanna if she wants to borrow the book, and when Hanna says that she can’t read it, Mona tells her she should, and that Henry James understood girls. Hanna comments that the book is more of a “Spencer Hastings type book”, to which Mona tells her that she’s smarter than Spencer Hastings. When Hanna says that she isn’t, Mona insists that she is, she just pretends that she isn’t, but that’s just another way to hide. Mona wonders if she hasn’t taught Hanna anything, before saying that Hanna doesn’t have to hide from anyone anymore, and that she should let other people hide from her for a change.

…As Hanna stares off into the distance, Leona calls out her name, and asks if she would like to keep the book she’s holding. Hanna thanks her, before saying that she’s been thinking about what Leona has said about Mona being afraid. Going on, Hanna says that she remembers Mona telling her that she wanted to set up cameras to keep an eye on things. Leona questions her, and Hanna asks if Leona thinks Mona would have done something like that.

Hanna, Spencer, Emily and Aria block Alison’s path as she’s tries to run from the police. Alison tells them to get out of her way, now, but the girls don’t budge. As Alison tries to run through the girls, they stop her be pushing her back. Hanna tells Alison that she killed Mona, “we’re not letting you get away”, to which Alison says that ‘A’ set her up, and that they’re letting ‘A’ win. Alison asks them who will protect them when she’s gone, before saying that if they do this, they will all be next. As Lieutenant Tanner comes up behind Alison, telling her to put her hands above her head. Tanner tells Hanna, Spencer, Emily and Aria to move, and taking a step back, the girls watch as Tanner tells Alison that she’s under arrest for the murder of Mona Vanderwaal.

Sitting on the Hastings’ back porch steps, Hanna listens as Emily tells the girls that for a minute she thought of getting on the plane to Atlantic City, to fly away. Hanna comments that she’s been to Atlantic City, and that Emily made the right choice. After Emily gets up and walks into the backyard, Hanna and the other girls follow suit. Spencer tells them that they should all think about getting out of here, and when Hanna questions if she means to Atlantic City, “I just said that…”, Spencer tells her no, not to Atlantic City, but to anywhere. Spencer says that Alison kept them in Rosewood like they were magnetised but that’s now, and Hanna comments that the spell is broken. Hanna mentions, “no gates, no dams, no barriers”, and as Emily says that they could have an actual life, the other girls smile. As a fireworks displays starts, the girls focus their attention to the sky, and noticing an ‘A’ form, Emily comments that Alison is ‘A’, and she’s in jail. Hanna says that they don’t allow fireworks in prison, and Aria mentions that this must be something she set up before the police got her. As the fireworks start to fall into Spencer’s backyard, the girls run up to the French doors, before turning back to the falling sparks.

Fresh Meat

In the Rosewood High School courtyard, Hanna tells Toby, Spencer, Emily and Aria that it’s unbelieve that Alison’s in the penalty box and yet she’s still playing offence. Toby mentions that maybe this is just Alison being iced out, getting desperate, but if they think there is somebody on the outside helping her, and Hanna tells him there totally is, “there was a fireworks display”. Emily suggests that the fireworks were planned before Alison went away, but Spencer doesn’t agree. Aria says that it’s Holbrook who is helping but, to which Hanna says that they don’t know that for sure. Hanna then questions Toby that Tanner said Holbrook was assigned to a case in in Pittsburgh, and Toby tells her that Holbrook is off that case, and that he had to take a personal leave to take care of his sick dad. When Hanna asks Toby if he can see if Holbrook is visiting Alison in jail, Spencer interjects and says that Toby can’t, and questions why Toby should be thrown head first into the lion’s den. As the school bell rings, Hanna and the girls walk into the hallway and towards Hanna’s locker. Emily suggests that maybe this weekend they could come up with a plan, and Hanna tells her that she’s not here this weekend. Emily asks where she’ll be and Hanna says she’ll be on a college visit, “Ballard”. Emily comments that she thought Hanna was visiting Skidmore, and when Spencer asks how many schools Hanna got into, Aria changes the subject back to Holbrook. Aria mentions that it smells like Wilden all over again, and turning back from her locker, Hanna says that Holbrook is not like Wilden. Emily comments that Holbrook may be worse, to which Hanna says that he’s not that bad of a cop, “he’s just a really bad kisser”. They girls are shocked to find Hanna and Holbrook shared a kiss, and Hanna clarifies that it was one kiss, “closed mouth”. Spencer asks why she kissed him, and Hanna says that Holbrook helped her mom with the whole Wilden deposit box thing, “and he stood up for Travis’ dad in court”. Spencer then questions what ever happened to a thank you card, but changing the subject Hanna theorises that if Holbrook’s helping Alison, she probably convinced him she’s the victim, “if he knew who she really was, then…” The school bell cuts Hanna off, and Spencer again asks Hanna how many schools she got into.

At Ballard College, Hanna’s tour guide tells her that the building that houses the Student Union is the original college. The guide offers to show Hanna a plaque carved in wood from Mr Ballard’s outhouse, and Hanna tells her, “okay”. The guide then asks if she told Hanna that Mr Ballard was also a minister, and Hanna says that she did, “and then I told you that my mom is dating one”. When the tour guide leaves to go grab Hanna a calendar, Hanna calls Caleb, “save me”. When Caleb asks what’s wrong, Hanna tells him that her buddy has verbal diarrhea, and that the back of a cereal box is more interesting. Caleb tells her that he’s sorry, to which Hanna says that it was supposed to make him laugh. Asking if Caleb is okay, Hanna listens as he tells her that Toby was on a search of Mona’s property and he found a bloody knife. Hanna questions, “what?”, and Caleb explains that it’s from the Cavanaugh’s cabin. Hanna asks who put it there, and if it was Holbrook, before telling Caleb that she’s coming home. Caleb tells her that she’s not, and that is exactly what ‘A’ wants, for her to drop everything.

Pulling up at a Mobile Park, Hanna gets out of her car and checks the address for James Holbrook on her phone. As Hanna is cautiously looking around the Park, her phone rings, and answering it, Hanna greets her mom. Ashley asks how it’s all going, and Hanna tells her that it’s going great. Ashley mentions that she can’t hear Hanna and asks where she is, to which Hanna tells her that she’s at the library. Ashley asks if it’s impressive, and looking around the Mobile Park, Hanna tell her, “oh yeah”. Saying that she really has to get off the phone soon, Hanna listens as Ashley says she wants Hanna to be on the alert if she’s taken to any parties. Looking a dead deer up and down, Hanna tells Ashley that she has to go, and ends the calls. Watching a man cut up the deer’s guts, she asks him where “211” is. The man points her in the direction, and thanking him, Hanna moves passed, trying to not dry heave. Hanna greets a young boy on a bicycle as he rides up to her, before saying that she’s looking for Mr Holbrook. The young boy calls over his shoulder before riding off, and Hanna keeps walking over to his trailer.

At James Holbrook’s trailer, Hanna tells him that she’s looking for Detective Holbrook when James asks what he can do for her. James says that he’s Detective Holbrook’s father before asking who Hanna is. Hanna mentions that she’s a friend of Gabriel’s, “is he around?”, and Mr Holbrook says that he hasn’t seen his son in weeks. Hanna says that she thought Gabriel was taking care of James, before asking where James thinks she can find Gabriel. James comments that he thought if anyone knew where his son was it would be her, and then questions if Hanna is out on bail. Realising that Mr Holbrook thinks she’s Alison, Hanna tells him no, “college weekend”. Telling Mr Holbrook that she better get going, Hanna turns and leaves.

Walking back to her car, Hanna stops when she sees her car wide open. Finding her Ballard College teddy bear on the front driver’s seat, Hanna picks it up. Noticing a string dangling from beneath the bear’s shirt, Hanna lifts the shirt up and pulls on the string, only for animal guts to spill out. Shocked, Hanna drops the bear to the ground and looks around the trailer park. Hearing the young boy on the bike behind her, Hanna turns and the two look at each other before the young boy rides off.

Hanna visits Alison at the Chester County Women’s Correctional Facility. When Alison says that she’s surprised, Hanna wonders who Alison thought it was, “Holbrook?” Sitting down, Hanna tells Alison that this isn’t a visit, she came here to tell her one thing, “give up”. Hanna says that she still knows Alison, or at least some of her, and Alison should know that at every turn she’s chosen to fight, “but just this once, don’t”. Alison says that she already has given up, before explaining that that’s why she’s in jail. Alison mentions that she could have thrown all the girls under the bus, but she didn’t, she kept her mouth shut. When Alison questions if she has gotten a thanks for helping the girls, Hanna enquires what they’re supposed to thank her for, “framing Spencer? Putting a knife in Mona’s…”, but Alison cuts her off, asking what knife. As Hanna sits back, Alison tells her that if she’s as clever as everyone thinks that she is, wouldn’t she have given herself a better alibi than her brother. Hanna gets up to leave, and it’s then that Alison tells her that for the missing hours on Thanksgiving she was waiting for Cyrus. Saying that she got a message from him asking to meet, Alison tells Hanna that Cyrus sounded freaked out and she was worried he was going to expose their deal. Alison mentions that she waited hours for Cyrus and he never showed, and it was only when she heard that Mona was missing that she realised that it was a trap set by ‘A’. Saying that she never have been able to explain that to the police, Alison mentions that she couldn’t even tell her own father, but he lied for her anyway. Alison poses the question of if she were ‘A’, why would she let this happen to herself, and Hanna says that she doesn’t know, “but I do know that if you are ‘A’, you’re counting on that last little shred of me that gives a damn about what happens to you”. Hanna tells Alison that she shouldn’t, before turning and leaving Alison’s cell.

Opening her front door, Hanna drops her bag off at the bottom of the staircase and walks through to the kitchen. Noticing two plates of food on the counter, Hanna picks one up and takes it over to the sink. Hearing a door close upstairs, Hanna places the plate at end of the island counter, and moves towards the stairs, stopping when she sees Jason buttoning up his shirt on the way down.

Over a Barrel

Sitting in The Brew, Hanna listens as Emily questions Spencer that the knife she and Caleb found was covered in blood. When Spencer tells them all, yeah, and that any of their prints could have been on it, Hanna sits up, “thank God you got rid of it”. Emily asks if they think Holbrook planted it, and turning to Hanna, Aria says that she vouched for him, so does she think he’s a good guy. Hanna mentions she’s not so sure anymore, “I bailed on my college visit to go track down Holbrook’s dad. And the whole family emergency thing is a lie, I mean Holbrook could still be around”. As Hanna says that Holbrook could have planted the knife, Spencer tells her that she should have called them as soon as she got home last night, to which Hanna justifies that it was late. Aria then theorises that if Alison’s ‘A’ and Holbrook’s on her side, they could pin Mona’s murder on the girls, to which Spencer says she doesn’t know. Spencer asks Emily if she wants her to send a package to Paige because she’s having trouble letting go, but Emily says she’s not holding on, it’s just that she found three pairs of Paige’s swim googles and some of her CD’s in her car. Aria asks if Emily is still going to see Paige for Spring Break, and when Hanna says she thought Paige asked for some space, Emily tells them that Paige did, so she’s not. As Emily says her shift is about to start, Hanna comments, “I’m out too”, before saying that Emily’s wearing a “cute shirt” when they all stand. Hanna asks if she’s borrowed it, and when Emily tells her she probably hasn’t, Hanna says that maybe she should.

Walking into her house, Hanna puts her handbag down at the bottom of the stairs and begins to walk towards the kitchen after Ashley calls out, asking if she’s home. After having stopped abruptly at hearing a man’s laugh, Hanna warily walks into the kitchen when she finds her mother and Ted. Asking how Peru was, Hanna listens as Ted tells her that it was good, and that he put a new roof on a chapel, built a playground for our sponsor school, and dreamed about Ashley’s waffles. Ted then questions whether Hanna knew they eat guinea pigs in Peru, to which Hanna comments, “mmm, wacky”. Hanna asks whether Ashley heard her come home last night, and when Ted mentions Ashley didn’t hear him call either, Ashley tells them that she had a long week at work and must have slept like a rock. After Ted has walked out to the patio with the serving of waffles, Ashley turns to Hanna and asks why she came back early, and that she thought the college had events planned for Saturday and Sunday, to which Hanna comments that she had a migraine. Hanna then questions why Ashley was gone when she woke up this morning, and Ashley tells her that Ted wanted to come over for breakfast, so she was out getting syrup. When Hanna wonders if Ashley wasn’t avoiding her, Ashley comments that she was under the impression Hanna would be gone all weekend. As Ashley wonders that Hanna left because of a headache, Hanna questions whether Ashley’s mad because she bailed “or that I walked in on your wild college weekend?” Ashley begins to say that whatever Hanna think she saw…, but interrupting, Hanna tells Ashley that she knows what she saw, “I just don’t understand why”. Hanna asks if they can just talk about it, and looking towards the patio doors, Ashley grabs the pitcher of juice from the counter and tells Hanna to take it outside. As Hanna tries to get Ashley to talk about it, “mom”, Ashley insists with the orange juice, so taking the jug, Hanna heads outside.

In Caleb’s apartment, Hanna is on her cell to Emily, telling her that Aria got the same text they all did. After saying that they’re at Caleb’s trying to figure it all out, Hanna tells Emily that she’ll call her when they’re done before ending the call. Turning to Caleb and Spencer, Hanna comments that “obviously ghosts don’t have fingers, so how was Mona sending those texts?”, to which Spencer explains that it was an alert sent automatically by a security company. Caleb mentions that Mona post some kind of low-jack on her laptop before she died, and someone must have gotten through the encryption and set off an alarm. Hanna recalls that the text had a bunch of numbers, and Spencer tells her that they were GPS coordinates that are probably lead to the location the laptop was last used. Walking around to face Caleb’s computers, Hanna listens as Caleb says that Mona’s laptop is still in the location of the original GPS coordinates. As Hanna wonder if that “blinky thing” is where Alison hid Mona’s laptop, Spencer asks Caleb is Mona could have set this up to alert the police, but Caleb says it’s an option Mona didn’t select, she just sent it to the four Liars. Caleb mentions that Mona’s security is usually incredibly tight, but it’s almost as if she purposefully made it easy for him to log in, which has Hanna questioning whether they can get Mona’s laptop back if “Ali took it”. Spencer suggests that the low security could also be Mona’s way of letting them track the laptop without whoever has the laptop knowing. Caleb questions whether the girls think that the storage unit is where Holbrook is hiding, and Hanna explains that Aria is going to text when she’s at the Grille, “if Holbrook’s with her, then that gives us time to go in and look around”. As Hanna’s phone rings, Spencer comments that that was fast, and when Caleb asks whose driving, Hanna tells them both to “hold your horses”, and that the call is for her. Answering Ted’s phone call, Hanna tells him that she can meet him “there”, and after ending the call Spencer questions that the Pastor is back. Saying that he got back this morning, Hanna says she has to go meet him. When Spencer’s phone starts to go off, she says that that’s Aria, and when Caleb asks if Hanna wants them to drop her off, Hanna tells him no, “I’ll go by myself”. Spencer asks Hanna if everything is okay, and after telling Spencer yeah, Hanna turns to Caleb, telling him that if he sees anything suspicious, “don’t pick it up”, before turning to Spencer and telling her not to let Caleb pick anything up. Questioning what they say about rats in a corner, Hanna listens as Spencer tells her that a cornered rat will bite, before telling Spencer and Caleb to remember that Holbrook is a rat.

On the phone with Caleb, Hanna comments that he sounds echoey, “kind of like you’re in an air duct”, to which Caleb tells her it’s because he is in an air duct. Saying that Ted’s waiting for her, Hanna tells Caleb to call her if he and Spencer find anything. Ending the call, Hanna approaches Ted who suggests that they sit down. Walking over to a park bench and taking a seat, Hanna listens as Ted tells her that he wanted to talk with her about Ashley. Hanna says she’s pretty sure he should talk with Ashley about this, before adding that “she knows that I know”. Ted questions how Hanna knows, and Hanna says because she knows. Ted then comments that he hasn’t asked Hanna yet, and a confused Hanna questions what Ted was going to ask her. Ted tells Hanna he wanted to ask for her permission as he’s like to marry her mother, and a shocked Hanna comments that she still thinks Ted should talk to Ashley about this. Ted goes on to say that he really would like for Hanna, himself and Ashley to be a family, and if they’re going to be a family, he wants to make sure Hanna is all in. Hanna asks when, and Ted tells her tonight, over dinner at the house, and he wants Hanna to be there. Hanna reiterates “tonight”, and after Ted nods, Hanna tells him, “yeah, definitely. Uh, I’m totally in”. Hanna then asks if it’s going to be like a fancy dinner, but Ted says it’ll be super, super casual, like any other night, and that he wants Ashley to be surprised. Hanna tells Ted not to worry, “my lips are sealed”, and after Ted has thanked her and heading back to the Church, Hanna grabs her cell and tries to call Ashley. Only getting Ashley’s voicemail, Hanna leaves a message, telling her to call her back as soon as she gets this, “I really need to talk to you”.

Sitting at the counter in her kitchen, Hanna waits for Ashley to arrive home. When she does, Hanna questions where she’s been, “I need to talk to you”, but Ashley tells her that they’re not going to talk about that. Hanna comments that that’s the least of Ashley’s problems, “I called, I texted”, and telling Hanna to relax, Ashley says she was not doing that and that it’s none of Hanna’s business, to which Hanna tells her it is, “and it’s kind of Ted’s business as well”. Hanna then questions why Jason, “aren’t you like working for him now?”, before asking whether Ashely will lose her job over this, but Ashley tells her that what happened between her and Jason was nothing. Hanna tells Ashley that it wasn’t nothing, before reminding her that Jason is Alison’s brother, to which Ashley says she’s aware of that, and it’s not something she’s comfortable with either. Hanna wonders what is going on, and whether Ashley loves Ted, before saying that Ted really loves Ashley, and he’s… After Hanna trails off, Ashley asks what Ted is, and Hanna tells her that Ted’s just a really good guy, “and I like him”, and she likes him with Ashley, and she doesn’t want anything to ruin that. When Hanna asks whether Ashley is going to tell Ted, Ashley mentions that that’s her decision, not Hanna’s.

Checking her phone when she gets a text message, Hanna opens the Marin’s front door to Aria when she rings the doorbell. Hanna asks Aria what the big secret is, to which Aria, holding a bouquet of flowers, as if Ashley is home, and that she was supposed the deliver the flowers to her, but she think’s something’s up. Ashley calls out, asking Hanna who’s at the door, and when Hanna tells her that it’s Aria, Ashley tells Hanna to tell Aria that they’re still eating. Telling Ashley to just one second, Hanna tells Aria to go upstairs. As Hanna begins to head up the stairs, Ashley appears in the foyer, telling Hanna that whatever it is to make it quick. Hanna mentions that she will, it’s just a school thing, “I’ll be down in a couple of minutes. Promise”. Walking into her bedroom and closing the door, Hanna watches Aria pulls out a card that accompanied the flowers and reads the message from Jason, saying that last night took him by surprise and he’s glad he stayed for dessert, aloud. Aria questions since when does Ashley bake and why Jason…, but cutting in, Hanna exclaims that this wasn’t Jason, “this is Alison trying to start trouble”. Aria wonders why, and what Hanna and Ashley have to do with Jason, but grabbing the card, Hanna tells Aria to forget about Jason, “I did this”. Hanna explains that she went to see Alison in jail, and shocked, Aria questions Hanna, before Hanna comments that she had to as she thought Alison was going after Caleb, “when I heard about that bloody knife”... Aria tells Hanna that they agreed, none of the girls were supposed to, before adding that she spent the whole day running on Alison’s hamster wheel because of Hanna. Hanna comments that she faced Alison, “for all of us”, and she told Alison to back off, “this is her backing off”. Aria tells Hanna that should have told them, to which Hanna says that she’ll tell the others, she promises. Hanna pleads with Aria not to mention the flowers, “please”, and after saying fine, Aria walks out of Hanna’s bedroom, leaving Hanna standing there, looking down the at card from the flowers.

Clearing the plates from the table when asked to by Ashley, Hanna listens as Ted announces that he has dessert. As Ted places a giant cookie between him and Ashley, Hanna wonders if they all get a cookie. Ted explains that it’s not just any cookie, it’s a peanut butter cookie, to which Ashley recounts that she and Ted shared one the first day they met. Hanna watches as Ted says that he was thinking that maybe they can share one tonight, and when Ted splits the cookie in half an engagement ring falls onto the plate, surprising Ashley. Hanna listens to Ted’s proposal, and when Ted asks Ashley if she’ll marry him, Hanna watches as Ashley says she needs a minute to think, before she gets up and walks from the table.

Walking Ted to the front door, Hanna tells him that he just took Ashley by surprise, “she’s had a really long stressful week at work. I came home early”. Ted comments that either Ashley doesn’t like surprises, or there’s something wrong with his timing, to which Hanna tells him that there’s nothing wrong with him, “you did everything right”. Saying that Ted needs to give Ashley a minute to take it all in, Hanna listens as Ted says he will, before he thanks her and leaves. Closing the front door, Hanna leans against the frame and watches as Ashley walks down the staircase and comments that she should have seen Ted out. As Ashley sits down on the stairs, she tells Hanna that Ted is a good man and deserves the truth, to which Hanna walks up to her mom and lies against her.

Cleaning the dishes, Hanna stops when Caleb knocks on the patio doors. Hanna lets him in, and when Caleb asks if Ashley is home, Hanna tells him she cried herself to sleep, “Ted popped the question tonight”. Caleb questioned that Ashley cried, and Hanna mentions that Ashley and Ted still haven’t figured it out yet. Hanna wonders if Caleb has been with Spencer this whole time, “you didn’t even call me back”, to which Caleb says he got Hanna’s message, before explaining that Spencer got him to look into something and it took him longer than he thought. Hanna questions if it’s about the storage unit, and Caleb tells her that he found out the name on the rental agreement. Hanna asks who rented it, “Holbrook? Alison?”, but shaking his head, Caleb tells Hanna that the storage unit is rented in her name, and he’s pretty sure Mona’s body is hidden inside of it.

The Bin of Sin

In Caleb’s apartment, Hanna looks at Caleb’s computer as Aria asks if they seriously think Mona’s body is in the barrel in the storage unit, and Caleb tells her they do. Emily says that they knew Alison was crazy, but to do something like that, to which Spencer comments that it makes Alison even sicker than they thought. Passing Aria the lease agreement for the storage unit, Hanna says that now “that psychopath” is targeting her. Aria says that it must be payback from when Hanna confronted Alison in jail, and both Spencer and Emily question when Hanna visited Alison and why Aria was the only one who knew. Caleb steps in and tells the girls that Hanna visiting Alison has nothing to do with the lease agreement, and that the storage unit was rented in Hanna’s name four months ago, the day before Mona was murdered. Looking to Hanna, Spencer mentions that it was Alison’s plan all along to blame her, and when Hanna says that the bloody knife Toby found probably has all her prints on it, Caleb turns to Spencer and comments that it was a good choice to get rid of it. Hanna says they should get rid of the stuff in the bin, to which Aria tells her that Mona’s body could be inside. Aria then questions whether Hanna wants to burn that too, and telling Aria, “of course not”, Hanna says they can put it somewhere. Emily reminds her that if they touch anything that’s tampering with the evidence, evidence that could convict Alison, but Hanna says that it could also convict her, “and I don’t have a good alibi”. Caleb tells her she does, they were together prepping the Thanksgiving turkey, but Hanna reminds Caleb that they were alone, “the cops will just think you’re protecting me”. Spencer then asks where Hanna’s mom was, and Hanna explains Ashley was at the soup kitchen with Ted. Caleb notes that they do have one thing going for them, they’re a step ahead of Holbrook and he doesn’t know they’ve traced Mona’s laptop back to the storage unit. Emily questions how they know Holbrook’s behind it all, and that it could be anyone of Ali’s little minions, before saying that yesterday they thought Holbrook was reaching out to Aria. Aria says that Holbrook wasn’t trying to reach out, he just sent her down a wild goose choose… As Hanna and Aria share a look, Aria adds that her wild goose chase was for no reason. Noticing the look between Hanna and Aria, Caleb tells the girls that he can corrupt the data files and make sure Hanna’s name is no longer connected with the storage unit. Spencer says that they can then tell Tanner that they traced Mona’s laptop there, and Aria adds that Tanner will then put the pieces together and realise Holbrook’s behind it all. Hanna says that if Tanner doesn’t it will just boomerang back on her, to which Emily tells her that that’s not going to happen. Hanna questions how Emily can be so sure, and when Spencer tells Hanna that this is the safest plan they’ve got. Telling Spencer that the plan is safe for them but not for her, Hanna storms from Caleb’s apartment.

Sitting at her kitchen island bench, Hanna researches chemical resistant rubber gloves. When Ashley walks in, Hanna minimizes the internet page and greets her mother, before saying that she heard Ashley on the phone earlier. Asking if it was Ted, Hanna listens as Ashley confirms that it was. Hanna asks how it went, and Ashley says that Ted was understanding, and that she explained to him that after you fail a marriage once, it’s not as easy saying yes again. Hanna questions if she told him about Jason, and Ashley tells Hanna no, and she’s decided not to. Hanna comments that last night Ashley said that Ted deserves to know the truth, to which Ashley explains that she thought about it some more and she realised that it would just cause Ted unnecessary pain. Hanna mentions that it’s going to be worse if Ted finds out from someone else, to which Ashley says that the only people who know about it are Hanna and Jason, and she trusts that both of them will keep quiet. Hanna then tells Ashley that if she does marry Ted, she can see it being the kind of thing that might gnaw at Ashley over the years, but Ashley tells Hanna that that’s enough, and if she really wants to help, she’ll forget it ever happened. Listening as Ashley says that that’s what she’s trying to do, Hanna watches Ashley leave, before she turns back to her laptop.

Transferring some supplies that she has bought into a duffle bag, Hanna walks over to the patio doors when there is knock. Opening the door slightly, Hanna greets Caleb who tells her that the mission is accomplished. Hanna asks if he erased the files, to which Caleb tells her that he didn’t erase them, but he did corrupt them. Caleb wonders if Hanna wants him to tell the girls, but Hanna tells him not yet, before she opens the patio door fully. As Caleb steps into the house, he asks Hanna what all the things on the kitchen counter are, but Hanna just looks at him.

As Hanna is packing things into the duffle bag, Caleb tells her that she can’t move everything from the storage unit alone, and she will get caught. Hanna says that she knows, “that’s why you’re going to help me”, but Caleb tells her no, he’s not. When Caleb says that they agreed they weren’t going to touch anything, Hanna tells him that everyone else agreed, “and since I could spend the rest of my life in an orange jumpsuit, I think I have the final say”. Caleb mentions that they’re never going to pull this off, but Hanna tells him they will, “I found a drill bit that can break that lock”, before saying that she’s already rented a van and a dolly. Caleb then asks what Hanna is going to do with everything inside the bin, and Hanna says that they’ll burn the clothes and personal items. Caleb questions what they’ll do with the barrel, to which Hanna explains that they’ll roll it into the woods somewhere and then they’ll call the police with a burner phone. Caleb tells her that the police will trace her tyre tracks, and when Hanna says she won’t on any dirt roads, Caleb tells her that she’s not a forensic expert and she cannot possibility know everything that she needs to do to avoid leaving a trace. Zipping up the duffle, Hanna says that Alison’s gone to a lot of trouble to pin this on her, and for all she knows, Alison could have stuck a wad of her gum on one of Mona’s shoes, and that her DNA could be anywhere in there. Going on, Hanna says that she has no choice to do this, “just like you didn’t when you found that knife”. When Hanna says that it has to work, Caleb tells her that she forgot one thing, the cameras.

At the storage unit facility, Hanna and Caleb are at a security surveillance box. Hanna asks if Caleb doesn’t think anyone will check the cameras, to which Caleb tells her that nobody was watching the monitors when they walked by the office. Hanna questions what will happen if they do, and Caleb says that they’ll deal with it when it then, and it’s better to take the chance then have what they’re doing recorded. When Caleb cuts and cord and tells Hanna that they’re good to go, Hanna starts to walk down the corridor. Caleb asks where she’s going, and Hanna explains that she wants to see what they’re dealing with first. At unit 1017, Hanna passes Caleb the drill and then watches as he begins to drill the lock.

Watching as Caleb drills through the lock, Hanna tells him to “hurry up”, only for Caleb to say that he’s going as fast as he can. Taking the drill and passing Caleb another piece, Hanna stuffs everything back into the duffle bag when Caleb gets the door open. Walking into the storage unit Hanna flicks on the light switch, and she and Caleb find the unit empty except for the barrel sitting in the middle of the room. Hanna questions why Holbrook would leave the barrel, and throwing up his hands, Caleb says that he doesn’t know, and that maybe Holbrook thought it was too heavy to carry himself. Caleb says they need to open the barrel, and when Hanna tells him no, she can’t look, Caleb just gives her a look. Hanna comments that Mona’s body might actually be in there, “it’s bad enough that she’s gone, but if she went like this…” After looking from Hanna to the barrel and back to Hanna, Caleb tells her that if Mona’s body is inside the barrel, they have to get it out of here. Looking back to the barrel, Caleb tells Hanna that they need to get the dolly.

As Hanna and Caleb are walking through the corridors, Hanna asks Caleb which way the exit is. Looking around, Caleb tells her he thinks it’s around the corner, and as they continue to walk down the corridor they come face-to-face with Toby and Lieutenant Tanner.

Hanna listens as Tanner questions Caleb about him renting a storage unit. As Hanna shifts the duffle bag on her shoulder, Tanner questions if she’s nervous about something. Hanna says that she’s hoping she can make it to the bathroom in time, “I really need to pee”, and as Tanner says that Hanna better get going, Hanna and Caleb both walk passed Tanner and Toby, continuing on their way.

Hanna sends Emily a text message, “I did go to the bin. And so did Toby and Tanner”.

Hanna is on the receiving end of a phone call from Emily, who tells her that she’s not even sure if this is Holbrook anymore. Hanna listens as Emily questions why Holbrook would be willing to kill for Alison, before Emily mentions that Spencer and Aria almost froze to death tonight. Emily then tells Hanna that she has to go, but she’ll call her when she gets home.

Walking into Spencer’s house, a bewildered Hanna questions how Spencer could tell Toby about the storage unit. When Spencer says that she didn’t, Hanna tells her that she doesn’t believe her. Turning to face Hanna, Spencer says she wanted to tell him, and she almost told him, but she didn’t. Hanna wonders why “he and Tanner showed up there today”, to which Spencer exclaims it’s because Holbrook broke into Hanna’s computer and recorded the conversation that she and Caleb had, and he knew they were going to the storage unit, so he probably just tipped the cops off. Hanna questions why Holbrook wouldn’t just leave everything in there if Alison wanted to pin this on her, and after Spencer says she doesn’t know, Hanna asks why Toby didn’t warn them. After Spencer again says she doesn’t know, Hanna comments that knew about the knife “and he knew one of us is being set up”. Spencer exclaims that Toby didn’t see it that way, and shaking her head, Hanna wonders when Toby’s job became more important than his friends. Spencer tells Hanna she can’t blame this on Toby, they all told her not to move the stuff and she didn’t listen. Going on, Spencer says Hanna screwed herself by going in there, and she screwed over Caleb too. Telling Spencer, “wow. Nice”, Hanna walks out of the Hastings’ house.

In Caleb’s apartment, Hanna tells Caleb that Holbrook recorded their whole conversation, "he knew that we were going to the storage unit”. Caleb realises that Holbrook set them up, and Hanna comments that he’s probably already sent that video to Tanner. Caleb mentions that if he did they wouldn’t be standing where they are, to which Hanna says that it’s only a matter of time before he does. Caleb tells her that they’ll deal with that when it happens, and sighing, Hanna tells Caleb that he told her not to touch the evidence, “and I didn’t listen”. Saying that she pulled him into this mess, Hanna tells Caleb she’s not going to drag him down any further. Caleb asks what Hanna means, and Hanna explains that if Holbrook shows Tanner the video, she’ll just say that she forced Caleb to go with her, “and that you lied for me, and that it was my idea”. Caleb tells Hanna that Tanner won’t see it like that, and when Hanna says that Caleb should just stay away from her for a while, Caleb stops Hanna from walking out, telling her that that’s not going to happen. Raising her voice, Hanna tells Caleb he doesn’t get it, “I’m dangerous to be around right now. If this little plan of Ali’s doesn’t work out then she’s going to think of something else”. Saying that Alison is not going to give up, Hanna listens as Caleb comments that they’ll both be behind bars, but maybe not at the same facility. Hanna tells Caleb that she’s serious, and looking at her, Caleb tells Hanna that he is as well, before he pulls her in for a hug.

Oh, What Hard Luck Stories They All Hand Me

Walking passed the Rosewood Church, Hanna is approached by Spencer who asks Hanna to give her two minutes so she can try and fix what’s going on between them. Hanna tells Spencer that there’s nothing to fix, and when Spencer tells her not to say that, Hanna tells Spencer that she was right. Spencer questions that she was, and saying “yeah”, Hanna explains that she thought about it, “and I thought about it in the tub for so long my fingers started to look like prunes”. Saying that it was a bad idea to get the stuff out of the storage space, Hanna mentions that she panicked, to which Spencer comments that panic’s a bitch. Hanna says that she hopes she didn’t makes things “incredibly worse”, and when Spencer takes her hand and says that they’re not pruney anymore, Hanna comments, “I moisturised”.

Hanna and Spencer walk up to Aria and Emily outside of The Brew, and when Aria asks if they’re good, Spencer confirms that they are. Emily comments that maybe they’re not so good, and Hanna and the other girls look over to the Rosewood Police Department and see Holbrook getting out of his car. Hanna questions what Holbrook is doing back after all this time, and Aria comments that Alison probably wanted him torturing them in close range.

Inside The Brew, Hanna listens as Aria questions why Alison would bring Holbrook out into the open, and Emily suggests that it’s to scare them without doing anything. When Spencer mentions that it’s pretty passive-aggressive, Hanna reminds her that ‘A’ is “aggressive-aggressive”. After Emily has excused herself for a minute, Spencer mentions that Alison is going to be tried and convicted, and when Aria says that the closer they get to her trial the more desperate she’s going to get, Hanna comments, “and the more dangerous”. Hanna’s phone rings, and saying that it’s Caleb, Hanna walks off to answer.

Walking up to Spencer and Jonny, Hanna tells Spencer that they have to talk.

Hanna tells Spencer and Aria that the police called Caleb and they want to reinterview him about the storage space, “asking if he saw anyone there acting suspicious”. When Aria questions if Hanna means suspicious people aside from her, Hanna tells Aria that she’s not helping. Saying that they’re going to call her next, “I know it”, Hanna listens as Spencer explains that they’re just trying to make her nervous. Hanna says it’s working, and when her phone rings, Spencer tells Hanna to answer it.

Sitting on the couches in The Brew, Hanna and the other liars listen as Mona’s friend Lesli says she’s still having a really hard time believing what happened. Lesli explains that she was with Mona’s mom when the police called, and all they could say was that something had happened and Leona had to come back to Rosewood. Lesli then says that the Liars were there for Mona and her mom when she wasn’t and she wants to thank them for that.

At the Rosewood Police Department, Hanna is on the phone with Spencer. Spencer tells Hanna that whoever Lesli is, they have to keep an eye on her, and when Hanna questions whether Lesli could be who she says she is, Spencer admits she could be, but the last time somebody’s old friend came up to them in The Brew it was CeCe. Spencer tells Hanna to go over and say hi to Mona’s mom, but Hanna says that she’s at the police station, “can’t you feel the police vibrations coming at you through the phone?” Hanna listens as Spencer says that once she leaves the police station she should go talk with Lesli, but to make sure Lesli does most of the talking. As Spencer tells Hanna that she’s going to be fine, Hanna says “okay” before ending the call.

Sitting down on a seat, Hanna tells Caleb that her mom will be “here” in a couple of minutes. Caleb asks how Ashley is, and when Hanna says that she has a lot going on and she doesn’t need this, Caleb questions whether Hanna thinks Ashley is going to marry Ted. Shrugging, Hanna says that it doesn’t matter what she thinks, it matter what Ashley wants. Turning to Caleb, Hanna mentions that she had a bad thought, “you know that video of me and you that ‘A’ used to trap Spencer and Aria… what if the cops get a hold of it?” Caleb comments that they’ll burn that bridge when they come to it, and as Hanna looks away, Caleb says that at least it won’t happen again and that he locked out remote access to all their computers so nobody can tap the cameras again. Saying that there’s nothing connecting them to the busted lock besides bad timing, Caleb reminds Hanna that they can’t arrest them for that. After Hanna says they can’t yet, Hanna and Caleb turn and look through a glass window when they hear Holbrook’s raised voice. Watching as Holbrook starts to angrily pack his desk, Caleb and Hanna stand. When they come face-to-face with Holbrook, Hanna and Caleb listen as Holbrook mutters perfect, just perfect.

In The Brew, Hanna tells Emily that the police suspended Holbrook for inappropriate behaviour. When Emily questions what kind of inappropriate behaviour, Hanna tells her to “take your pick”. Emily starts to list off a few ideas, and Hanna explains that Caleb heard the cops say that Holbrook tampered with the lie detector test, “and that’s the straw that broke the chameleon’s back”. Emily says that if the cops are onto him that’s one less thing they have to worry about, but Hanna tells Emily that if she saw the way Holbrook looked at her she wouldn’t be saying that, “Ali may have been leading him around by the nose, but I think he blames us for what happened to him”, to which Emily comments that she wished she didn’t, but it makes an awful lot of sense. Telling Emily to call Aria and Spencer, Hanna mentions that she has to go keep an eye on the “new girl in town”, before she walks out of The Brew.

In Mona’s bedroom, Hanna watches Lesli pick up Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Unabridged Works’, before listening as Lesli says that Mona said her grandfather got it for her and he would read to her from it and scare the hell out of her. Hanna says that Mrs Vanderwaal said that Lesli was trying to find her, to which Lesli comments that she wasn’t just looking for Hanna, she was looking for all the Liars. Asking why, Hanna listens as Lesli says that that’s a funny question, before she says that Hanna was friends with Mona. Hanna mentions that if Lesli really knew Mona well, she’d know what was between them all was a lot more complication than going to the mall or tweeting photos of shoes they wanted. Lesli says that she knows, but in spite of all that, Mona really cared about them. When Lesli comments that the girls were all very previous to Mona, Hanna questions if Lesli knows there’s more than one Mona inside of her. Lesli says that that’s what she liked about Mona, and that she was thinking every second…

In a flashback, Hanna sits on Mona’s bed and listens as Mona reads a poem out of Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Unabridged Works’. Shaking her head, Hanna questions why Mona likes this stuff, to which Mona tells her that she loves it, and that it’s like maple syrup, all sticky and sweet. Hanna adds that it’s creepy, and lighting the flashlight under her face, Mona comments that it’s the creepy part that makes it fun. As Mona is putting the book away, she tells Hanna that she has three wishes and she can’t ask for more wishes, so what does she want. Hanna mentions that she doesn’t like wishing games, “they just remind you of what you don’t have”, to which Mona tells her that she’s such a thud, and what the point of breaking your shell if you turn into such a dull omelette. Hanna tells Mona that she makes better wishes anyway, and saying that that’s true, Mona tells Hanna that she would wish for a stopwatch. When Hanna questions her, Mona explains that when you press down on the stem, not only does the watch stop but all time stops. Hanna listens as Mona explains that everything freezes and you can walk around and take anything you want from the stores, and you could also go into people’s houses, even when they’re there and spy on them. Going on, Mona tells Hanna that you would have all the control, and nobody would ever know it was you, and the best part would be that they wouldn’t even know they were being controlled.

…Snapping out of her flashback, Hanna tells Lesli that Mona was always thinking, “she just wasn’t thinking what we thought she was thinking”.

Hanna and Lesli walk into The Brew when Mike approaches them having noticed Lesli carrying ‘The Unabridged Works’. After greeting Mike, Hanna introduces Lesli to him, explaining that Mike is Aria’s brother. Hanna explains that Lesli is staying with Mrs Vanderwaal, and when Mike says that he can see that, Hanna questions how he can, to which Mike says that the book Lesli is carrying belongs to Mona. Lesli says she knows, and that she and Hanna were just looking at it in Mona’s room. Mike questions that they were in Mona’s room, and Lesli says she knows it sounds silly, but she just wanted it with her for a little while. When Mike wonders if Leona knows she took the book, Hanna steps in and tells Mike that it’s not like they took it. Mike questions whether Mona’s mom is giving away Mona’s stuff now and if that’s what’s happening, but Hanna tells him “that’s not what’s happening”. When Mike asks Lesli to give him the book, Hanna calls him out, “Mike”, to which Mike says that she’s taking the book back to where it belongs. Hanna tells him that it’s okay, but Mike tells her that it’s not okay, and that you can’t take everything apart like you want Mona to disappear. When Mike again asks Lesli to hand the book over, Hanna steps in front of Lesli, saying that she’ll make sure the book goes back to where it belongs, “I promise”. After Mike has walked from The Brew, Hanna apologises to Lesli before explaining that Mike and Mona were “pretty serious” before it all happened. Hanna notices a look on Lesli face, and when Hanna asks what the matter is, Lesli tells her she doesn’t want to make trouble for anyone. Pulling Lesli aside, Hanna listens as Lesli explains that the night before Mona was killed they were talking on the phone, but then in the middle of it someone came up to her and told her to hang up and talk to him. Going on, Lesli says that he sounded pretty upset, and now she’s pretty sure it was Mike.

Hanna walks down the street with Aria who questions if Hanna believes what Lesli said about Mike. Hanna confirms that Lesli did talk with Mona, “I asked Mrs V, she said Mona mentioned the call”. Saying that it probably doesn’t mean anything, Hanna adds that Mike is just sad and angry. Stopping, Aria turns to Hanna and admits that Mike went to visit Alison in jail, and when Hanna questions, “he did what?”, Aria says that Spencer found out. Hanna comments that Mike got into a fight the night before Mona died and now he’s going to visit the person who killed her, to which Aria says that it sounds really bad when Hanna says it like that. Hanna questions if Aria’s talked to Mike, and Aria says that she’s tried, but she couldn’t get the words out of her mouth. Saying that even if she can’t talk with Mike, Hanna tells Aria that she needs to figure out what’s going on.

Back in Mona’s bedroom, Hanna listens as Lesli says that perhaps she shouldn’t have told Aria about Mike, but Hanna says that Mike is Aria’s brother, “she deserves to know”. Lesli says she doesn’t want to get Mike in any trouble, and Hanna tells her that Mike will be fine, “he’s a good guy”, to which Lesli says she hopes so. When Lesli says she’s going to go help Mrs Vanderwaal with her tea, Hanna tells her that she’s right behind her. After Lesli has left, Hanna looks at ‘The Unabridged Works’ in her hands, before looking towards the window…

Sitting up in bed, Hanna questions Mona that with the stopwatch all the time is stopped, “you would be getting older, but no one else would”. Mona tells her that she’d fix that, and when Hanna asks how she would do that, Mona says she’d fix it so that everyone else would get old, but not her. Hanna questions that wouldn’t the people notice that she’s not getting older, to which Mona comments that that would be there problem. Hanna then supposes that Alison came back, “a long time from now”, before questioning whether they’d recognise her. Mona tells Hanna that they would recognise her, but Hanna questions if they still would if Alison had changed her hair, or the way she looked. As Hanna asks whether Alison would want to come back in disguise just to check up on them, Mona sits up and tells Hanna that even if Alison did come back, she wouldn’t recognise them. Hanna listens as Mona says that Alison would come back to a town full of strangers who’d have forgotten all about her. When Mona says that Alison would go crazy and they’d throw her into Radley, Mona adds that no one ever gets out of Radley. Hanna tells Mona not to say that, to which Mona comments that it’s just another scary story, like in the book. Mona tells Hanna to go to sleep, and after taking a minute, Hanna lies back down and does so.

…Looking down at the book, Hanna rattles it, and hearing a noise, she moves over to Mona’s bookshelf and begins to look for a secret compartment. Unclipping the top of the spine, Hanna pulls the red ribbon bookmark out, which in turn pulls out a small cassette tape. Picking the tape up, Hanna turns it over in her hands.

Rushing out of the Vanderwaal residence, Hanna gets in her car and drives off.

At Caleb’s apartment, Hanna listens as Caleb comments that he thought she had said that Alison had cleared all the Radley material from Mona’s house. Hanna says that is what they thought, “but she hid this one. She didn’t keep it with the others”, to which Caleb says they should find out why. Caleb puts the tape into a recording device, and after Caleb presses play, Hanna and Caleb listen as Bethany Young says that ‘she’s’ a bitch, an evil bitch. Going on, Bethany explains that she doesn’t mean nasty or rude, she means evil, without a soul, and you could be the nicest person in the world and ‘she’ gets them to do whatever she wants. After listening to Bethany storm out of where the recording took place, Caleb pauses the recording and asks Hanna what the hell that was. Hanna says that that was Bethany, “and she’s talking about Alison, right?” Saying they should listen to the whole thing, Caleb rewinds the tape.

Driving, Hanna begins to see to see police lights in her rear view mirror, so she pulls over. Grabbing her wallet, Hanna waits for someone to come to her window, but when they don’t, she turns and sees that there’s no one in the driver’s seat of the police car behind her. After waiting a minute, Hanna gets out of her car and grabs a tyre iron from under the seat. Walking to the police car, Hanna looks in the window, and it’s then that Holbrook grabs her arm. Hanna comments that the police suspended him, before questioning why Holbrook still has the car he’s driving. Holbrook mentions that he hasn’t got around to turning it in, before asking whether Hanna’s going to report him. Telling Holbrook to let go of her, “now”, Hanna listens as Holbrook says he’s going to ask her a question first. Holbrook questions how a girl like Alison becomes a girl like Alison, to which Hanna tells him that she’s had years of practice. Holbrook mentions that he had a career, the start of one, but he doesn’t have that now because of her. Shaking her head, Hanna tells Holbrook that he could have said no, “you didn’t have to do all her dirty work. Cleaning out all that junk in the storage space. Trying to kill Spencer, Aria and Caleb”. Holbrook tells Hanna she’s getting him mixed up with the wrong guy, before Holbrook explains that he’s spent the last few weeks locked up in a hotel with a couple of old timers from Internal Affairs. Holbrook then tells Hanna that if she doesn’t believe him she should ask Tanner because Tanner knows everything. When Hanna tells Holbrook to wait a minute, Holbrook comments that Alison cut him off, and when Hanna asks, “when?”, Holbrook questions if Alison told Hanna to kiss him. As Holbrook concludes to himself that Alison did, Hanna whacks him with the tyre iron, “you don’t get to play the victim here. You’re the grown up police officer and she’s just a girl”. Saying that if Alison really did cut him off, Hanna tells Holbrook that he doesn’t know how lucky he is. Walking back to her car, Hanna gets in and drives off.

In Spencer’s bedroom, Hanna asks Aria where Emily is when Aria walks in. Aria tells her that she doesn’t know and that Emily’s phone keeps going to voicemail. Spencer questions if Hanna is sure about this, to which Hanna tells him that Holbrook doesn’t know half the stuff they thought he did, “we’ve been barking up the wrong henchman”. Spencer concludes that someone else has been helping Alison, and when Aria says it’s somebody they don’t know, Hanna comments that it could be somebody they’d never suspect. As Aria starts to walk from Spencer’s room, Spencer tells Aria that they call know what Alison is capable of. Turning back, Aria says that she knows her own brother, and it’s then that Hanna reminds Aria that Mike went to see Alison in jail, “and he won’t tell you why”. Turning to Spencer, Hanna questions what Bethany meant on the tape, “about other people making plans”, and Spencer says that it means what happened in Alison’s backyard was a trap.

Out, Damned Spot

Hanna sits with Aria and Spencer at the Rosewood Blood Drive which is being held in the Rosewood High cafeteria. When Emily takes a seat, Hanna asks where her donating blood sticker is, to which Emily explains she cannot give blood for another year because of her summer trip to Haiti. As Aria closes the textbook she’s revising, Hanna asks if she’s done studying, to which Aria tells her she’ll never be done studying for the test and that she just needs the numbers to stop spinning. Hanna then listens as Aria comments that the next time they offer to help Hanna’s mom out can it not involve needles. Ashley approaches the Liars and asks how it’s going, and when Hanna tells her, “great”, Ashley says that she’s glad they all came, and that she recruited a bunch of people from the Church but they all cancelled on her. Hanna and the Liars are startled when a plate drops to the ground, and they watch as Mike is the culprit. After Mike has walked out, Hanna questions what that was about, and Spencer wonders if Mike was just here to steal cookies or something else.

By Aria’s locker, Hanna listens as Aria tells Spencer to ask Mike why he was at the blood drive because she already knows his answer. When Hanna questions that Mike was there to donate, Aria tells her no, he’ll tell her to mind her own business, a message she got loud and clear at the dock. Spencer says that it is there business, and they all saw that he was standing near the coolers where they keep the blood, their blood. Emily tells them to all take a breath, to which Hanna comments that it’s “hard to breathe when someone’s trying to set you up as an accessory to murder”. Hanna listens as Aria says she knows they’re all desperate to find out who’s helping Alison, but just because it isn’t Holbrook doesn’t mean it’s Mike, he was in love with Mona and would never hurt her. As Aria storms off, saying she has a Math test, Hanna, Spencer and Emily watch her leave.

Walking down the stairs, Hanna calls out to Spencer from behind, saying that she has a question, “it’s college related”. When Spencer says okay, Hanna comments that she knows it’s a touchy subject because she herself got into all these different schools, “and you…” Cutting Hanna off, Spencer asks what Hanna’s question is, and it's then that Hanna explains that no one is offering her financial aid. Hanna adds that some of the schools are $45,000 a year, and her mom can’t afford that kind of money, “she doesn’t even have a job right now”, to which Spencer says she thought Ashley was working for Alison’s family. Hanna mentions that Ashley was but she left, and as Spencer says she thought Jason came back, Hanna tells Spencer that he did, “and she left”. Hanna passes Spencer a document from Ballard, and reading over it, Spencer explains that financial add is based on your parent’s income, and that they don’t think Hanna’s mom can pay, but they think her dad can.

Arriving home, Hanna walks into the kitchen and finds Ashley sitting in the dark at the island counter. Turning on the light, Hanna asks if she’s okay, to which Ashley mentions that stopped by the Church after the blood drive and spoke with Ted. Listening as Ashley says that Ted deserved an answer, Hanna questions what she said, and Ashley tells her that she said yes, she wants to marry him, but she then admitted to what happened when he was away. Hanna questions that she did, and when Ashley just nods, Hanna wonders what Ted said. Ashley tells her that Ted said he needed to think, before adding that he always said he’d call her in a couple of hours. As Ashley mentions that Ted couldn’t even look her in the eye, Hanna says she’s going to make them some dinner, “is there stuff for a salad?”, to which Ashley shrugs, unsure. Walking to her handbag, Hanna half pulls out the folder from Ballard, before shoving it back in.

Lying on her bed, Hanna is the phone with Caleb, “no one wants to believe that Mike is helping Ali. But if Ali could take down Holbrook, a grown ass man with a police badge, who knows what she could do to Aria’s brother”. When Ashley walks into her bedroom, Hanna tells Caleb that she’s got to go. Ending the call and sitting up, Hanna listens as Ashley tells her that her father left a voicemail about lunch tomorrow, and that Tom said that he’d be at the office all day and they’ll have to catch up another time. Ashley questions if there was anything in particular Hanna had to catch up with Tom about, to which Hanna says she was going to bring it up earlier. Ashley questions what she was going to bring up, and Hanna explains that she found out why none of the schools she got into are offering her financial aid, “apparently dad had a really good year last year”, and she just wanted to talk with him and ask him if.. Ashley cuts Hanna off, telling her that her dad’s financial obligation was worked out in the divorce settlement years ago. Hanna exclaims that it’s not enough and that she just wants to talk with him “and say…”, but again Ashley cuts her off and questions what Hanna would say, and that she’d rather not share the story of why she doesn’t have a job anymore to anyone else. Hanna mentions that if Tom is the reason why they’re not getting any help, he should take on the extra expense, “he has the money”. Hanna then listens as Ashley tells Hanna that going to her father is not going to fix the situation. Ashley mentions that she’ll figure it all out, and upon asking if Hanna understands, Hanna nods in response.

Sitting on the couch at her dad’s office, Hanna greets Tom when he finds her there, “hey dad”.

In her dad’s office, Hanna listens as Tom lists the schools she got accepted into. When Hanna says it’s not bad, Tom tells her it’s not bad at all, before asking if Hanna knows which one she wants to go to. Hanna tells him “not yet”, and that she still has to figure out how she’s going to pay for it, “that’s sort of what I wanted to talk to you about”. Tom mentions that he and Ashley have an agreement in place, and if Ashley has an issue…, but cutting in, Hanna says that Ashley doesn’t, “I’m the one asking”. Tom tells Hanna that he’s so proud of her, he really is, but he didn’t even know she wanted to go to these types of schools and these kind of things take planning. Questioning what he’s saying, Hanna listens as Tom says that he’s only willing to pay $10,000 a year, and that’s what he and Ashley agreed on. Tom goes on to say that Kate starts at Dartmouth in the fall and he cannot afford to put two kids through private school. As Tom says that it comes down to dollars and cents and he doesn’t just have it, Hanna questions that he’s paying for Kate. Tom says that Kate worked hard for an early acceptance and he’s already promised Isabel that he would take care of it. Hanna sums up that Kate is going to Dartmouth, “and you’re paying”, all the while he didn’t even ask her where she applied. Hanna listens as Tom says that the last time they talked about college she said she’d rather spend the money on a beach vacation and a good manicure, to which Hanna, now upset, exclaims that the last time they talked about college was when she was twelve years old and obsessed with donuts, “you’d never even heart of Kate”. As Tom says that he wants to help, he just…, Hanna cuts in saying that he doesn’t want to “disappoint the wrong daughter”. Grabbing her bag, Hanna tells him she gets it, before storming from the office.

Walking into The Brew, Hanna walks who up to Ezra who asks if she’s okay when he notices that she’s upset. Instead of answering, Hanna asks where Emily is, to which Ezra tells her that she left early. Ezra then asks what’s going on, and Hanna tells him it’s nothing, “I just, I left my phone at my dad’s office and I can’t reach anyone”. When Ezra questions that she can’t go back and get it, Hanna tells him she can’t go back there. Listening as Ezra says that she doesn’t have to tell him anything, but if she wants to she can, Hanna takes a seat on the couch. After Ezra has also sat down, Hanna mentions that her dad doesn’t think she’s college material, “he thinks Kate is. Not me”, and that he never thought she would go to a good school and now because of him she might not get to. Confused, Ezra asks who Kate is, and Hanna tells him Kate is her stepsister, “my stupid, perfect stepsister”. Hanna goes on to say that she wanted dad to help pay for school, “but you know what I wanted more than that was for him to just look at me once and say ‘I knew you had it in you’”. Ezra tells her that when he was in high school his parents couldn’t agree a single thing, except for the fact that I wouldn’t amount to much, and when Hanna asks him what happened, Ezra explains that once they cut him off and he realised that he was on his own, he took out a bunch of loans, applied for every job that he could no matter how ridiculous and he paid my way through school, by himself. Ezra asks if Hanna knows those guys who stand outside in the hotdog uniforms in 90 degree heat, and after Hanna questions that he was a hotdog, Ezra tells her he was the best damned hotdog. As Hanna smiles, laughs and wipes away a tear, Ezra tells Hanna that he knows this isn’t the same, but he used to be her teacher, and he always knew she had it in her.

Having tried to call Aria on Ezra’s cell phone, Hanna tells him that it went straight to voicemail. When Ezra wonders if Hanna wants to call someone else, and that he has Emily’s number, Hanna says that it’s fine, “I’m just going to head home”. After Ezra says okay, Hanna thanks him for the image of him in a hotdog costume, “and everything else you said”, to which Ezra tells her, anytime. As she’s leaving, Hanna notices a flyer for the Glass Slipper Collective Bates County Ms. Teen Pageant, with the winner earning a $20,000 scholarship.

Hanna is sitting at the kitchen counter when Ashley walks in and placing Hanna’s cell phone next to her, she comments that Hanna went to see her dad. Hanna asks if Tom dropped her cell off, and Ashley just nods. Hanna tells Ashley that she’s sorry she went, “believe me I am”, before saying that she didn’t mention anything about Ashley’s job. Ashley guesses that Tom said it all comes down to dollars and cents, and when Hanna slightly nods, Ashley sits down next to her. Listening as Ashley says that she knows Tom can be dismissive, and that she hopes Hanna isn’t looking for validation in a beauty pageant, Hanna says that she’s not, “the winner gets a $20,000 scholarship. We’re going to have to pay for my tuition somehow”. Changing the subject, Hanna asks whether Ted called, and Ashley tells her no, and she doesn’t think he will. As Ashley stands up and moves to the fridge, Hanna questions if that’s it. Ashley says Hanna’s name but before she can say anything else, Hanna tells Ashley that she loves Ted, “you can’t just give up like that”. When Ashley mentions that it’s not just her decision, Hanna tells her that Ted’s hurt, “and you have to fight for him”. Saying that if she can put herself in a beauty pageant, Hanna tells Ashley that she can call the man that she loves and wants to spend the rest of her life with, “and tell him to take you back”. Hanna offers Ashley her phone, but instead of taking it, Ashley walks over to the house phone and picks it up from the cradle. After watching Ashley walk out of the kitchen, Hanna’s cell phone beeps, and it’s then that Hanna finds she has four missed calls, a text from Emily, two texts from Aria and two texts from Spencer.

In Spencer’s bedroom, Hanna listens as Aria says that she and Spencer just filled her overnight bag and ran. Hanna asks if the car was back, to which Aria tells her no, not yet. As Spencer walks into her bedroom with a pillow and blanket, Aria comments that it was bad enough when Mike was stealing Jenna’s pottery, and Hanna says that now it’s their own blood. Aria asks what they do now, and if they wait until ‘A’ paints the town red in their DNA, to which Spencer admits she doesn’t know. When Hanna comments, “one drop here, one spot there and kaboom we’re all sharing a jail cell with Ali”, Spencer exclaims that she is like the queen of not helping. Aria notes that there’s a reason she doesn’t like needles, and Hanna comments that they should have all spent the summer in Haiti.

Pretty Isn't the Point

Hanna and the Liars are looking through Mike’s bedroom. Hanna wonders what is with all the new gym equipment, and when Aria says that she doesn’t know, and that Mike has become obsessed with it, Hanna questions, “how much did he pay for this?” As Emily tells Hanna that they’re not shopping, Hanna says that it’s just a question and that she wants to know why Mike is suddenly training to become a ninja, to which Spencer says that maybe it’s because he’s running errands for a blonde spider on cell block H. Aria tells them all to stop, before saying that this all feels wrong. When Hanna says that what’s wrong is Mike stealing their stem cells and handing them over to Alison’s A-team, Aria mentions that they don’t know what was in the envelope and that it could have been cash. Hanna mentions that if Mike did send the bloody ‘A’ text, they should be doing more than turning his room inside out, “we should be setting fire to”…, but Hanna is cut off by Aria who has found a necklace inside Mike’s gym bag. As Emily mentions that Mike only bought the necklace last Friday, Hanna wonders who it is for, before asking Aria when her brother acquired taste. Aria wonders why Mike has the necklace, and when Hanna proposes that perhaps it’s a Mother’s Day gift, Spencer comments that she doesn’t think Mike was telling his mom, ‘I’m with you’. Hanna listens as Spencer says that they aren’t just beads on the necklace, it’s a message in Morse code and the beads spell out words. When Aria questions who Mike’s with, Spencer says that the necklace is probably for Alison and that’s probably who Mike’s with.

Sitting on the bed in Caleb’s apartment, Hanna tells Caleb that that necklace they found in Mike’s bedroom said ‘I’m with you’. Caleb wonders how they can be so sure it’s for Alison, to which Hanna questions who else it could be for, “Mike has been to her jail cell more than once, and he’s meeting up with her sketchy friends, leaving candy grams in the woods and he just took out a huge withdrawal from A’s bank account last week”. As Caleb comment that Mike’s using Alison’s money to buy gifts for Caleb, Hanna’s cell phone beeps. When Hanna ignores the call, Caleb asks whether she wants him to him to say something to Aria’s brother, but Hann tells him no, “no. God no”. Hanna’s phone starts to ring again, and when Caleb wonders why she isn’t answering and if it’s Aria, Hanna tells him it’s not and she’ll just call her later. Caleb questions Hanna’s use of the word her, and when he asks what is going on, Hanna says that it’s nothing. Getting up from the bed, Hanna says that she doesn’t even know if she’s going to go through with this, “the coach is pricey and if it’s going to cost me money just to be in this thing…”, and telling Hanna to slow down, Caleb adds for Hanna to speak English. Having grabbed a water from the fridge, Hanna explains that she enrolled in a beauty pageant, “Miss Teen County Wide”, and when Caleb just laughs, Hanna exclaims that the winner gets a $20,000 prize, “I could use that towards my tuition”. Getting up from the bed, Caleb tells Hanna to stop, and that 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. Hanna tells him that this isn’t about big hair and twirling a baton, she has to have this money so she can get out of Rosewood. Listening as Caleb begs Hanna to let him help her, and that they’ll call his mom in Santa Barbara and get a loan, Hanna says after her dad basically slammed the door in her face, “no way. I am not asking anyone for anymore help”. Caleb tells Hanna fine, before wondering if she has really thought this through because the pageant world is squeaky clean, and last week she was modelling a HAZMAT suit and pushing around a barrel with a liquefied friend inside. Hanna tells him that she’s already talked herself into it, so she doesn’t need any other reason to back out, “I’m going to do this. I have to”.

In the Marin’s kitchen, Hanna stands before her pageant coach. The coach says that she’s got a list of questions from last year’s pageant and they should try a few. Listening as the coach asks how she would reverse extinction of today’s endangered species, Hanna stays quiet, unable to answer. The coach then asks what Hanna’s opinion is of their country’s current foreign policy, but again, Hanna doesn’t have a response. Hanna listens as her coach says that the pageants aren’t just about being pretty anymore, and that judges don’t just give out crowns to live-in lollypops, she needs to have an opinion about the world they live in. When Hanna says she does have an opinion, the coach tells her that’s good. Changing the subject, Hanna’s coach asks if she’s given the talent side of things any thought, and after a long pause, the coach asks Hanna what she does well, to which Hanna says, “lots of things”. When the coach questions her, Hanna just smiles, unable to name anything. Hanna listens as her coach says that if she really wants this, she needs to feel it on a cellular level. Listening as the coach adds that there are girls who have been training for this since they could flush the toilet themselves, Hanna comments that she has can. When the coach questions if that’s her talent, Hanna tells her yeah, “I dance”.

At Rosewood High, Hanna and Emily practice the dance routine Hanna will be performing at the beauty pageant. When the girls finish their routine, Hanna tells Caleb, who has just walked in, that that’s where he applauds, to which Caleb tells her that he’s holding two cheesesteaks and he doesn’t have the hands. Hanna then asks what Caleb seriously thought, and Caleb tells her that it was good. Hanna questions him, “good?”, before saying that “good is not good enough”. Emily steps in telling Hanna to relax and that they still have time to make it great, but Hanna says that they have two hours, “my coach is coming over here to check on my progress”. When Emily mentions that Hanna’s coach is coming by to support her, Hanna questions if Emily has met her coach, “she makes you feel like the girl at fat camp who got caught eating her toothpaste”, and when Caleb and Emily both just look at her, Hanna asks, “what?”, before adding that it was minty. Hanna notices an unease to Caleb and when she asks what’s going on, Caleb mentions that somebody else signed up to be in the pageant. As Caleb is passing the signup sheet to Hanna, Emily asks who it is, and when Hanna reacts to seeing who it is, “no freakin’ way”, Emily again asks who it is, to which Caleb explains that Kate Randall has reserved this room tomorrow at 7pm. Emily questions if it’s Kate Randall as in Hanna’s stepsister, and when she says that this has to be someone else, Hanna exclaims, “really? That goes to the same high school as her?” Saying that it wasn’t bad enough that Kate sole her father, “and my college money”, and now she wants to go over her crown too, Hanna starts to storm from the dance room. Emily wonders where Hanna is going, and as Caleb comments that she cannot go and punch Kate out, Hanna tells them that she’s going to the bathroom, “to pee”, and when she gets back, she and Emily are going to rehearse until it’s perfect. Hanna adds that she’s not going to let Kate take this away from her, before leaving the room.

An even more determined Hanna continues to practice the dance routine.

Hanna and Emily perform in front of Hanna’s pageant coach. When Hanna starts to see visions of Kate, she breaks from the routine and starts to do her own thing. As the routine comes to an end, Hanna listens as her coach says that the dance routine was revealing. The coach goes on to say that the girls who take the crown home all have one thing in common, they have allure and mystery, Hanna however needs to learn how to keep a secret in this age of oversharing. Saying that she has lots of secrets, Hanna listens as the coach tells her that anger is not one of them. Looking over to Emily, Hanna says that she knows she messed up on that one move, but her coach reveals that it’s not about the one move, it’s the whole package. When the coach tells Hanna that she’s not pageant material, Emily steps in, saying that it’s her fault, she picked the song and it doesn’t show what Hanna can really do. The coach says she’s pretty sure she’s seen enough to know what Hanna can really do, before she tells Hanna that this is not going to work for her. Storming from the dance room, Hanna stops just outside the door. Hanna listens in as Emily tells the coach that that was a really lousy thing for her to say, but the coach says that she’s doing Hanna a favour and that taking her money would be criminal. As the coach says that Hanna would only crash and burn in a much more humiliating and public setting, Hanna overhears the coach say that she doesn’t have what it takes to go the distance. Listening as the coach says that Emily does have what it takes, Hanna, in tears, walks down the hallway.

Sitting in her car, Hanna drives away from the school when she sees Emily coming towards her.

Opening the fridge, Hanna grabs the pizza from the shelf when Emily, who has just walked in the patio doors, asks whether Hanna heard her out the front of school. Emily comments that that women is not a coach, she’s a gorgon, and she doesn’t care how many beauty pageants she’s won, she’s an ugly person. Ashley walks into the kitchen and on greeting Hanna and Emily, she mentions that she didn’t hear them come in. Ashley then tells Hanna that she spoke with Tom and he doesn’t know anything about the pageant, or how Kate could have signed up for that room because she’s not even in Pennsylvania this weekend. When Emily questions Ashley, Hanna says that it doesn’t matter anyway, “thinking I could do this was asinine”. Ashley questions how’s saying that, and Hanna says that her coach is, before adding that her coach would much prefer to be Emily’s coach. Noting that Emily and Hanna need to talk, Ashley tells them that she’s going to take her shower. After Ashley has walked from the kitchen, Emily asks Hanna if she stuck around long enough to hear what happened she said that. When Hanna doesn’t react, Emily says that she told the coach off, and she had no right…, but Emily is cut off by Hanna’s cell phone beeping with an incoming text. As Hanna is reading the text, Emily asks who it is from, and sliding her phone over, Hanna lets Emily read the message, “Kate won’t win the pageant, but she’s already won your daddy’s heart. –A”. Emily questions that ‘A’ put Kate’s name on the signup sheet, but Hanna reminds her that ‘A’ is sitting in jail, “Mike did this. And Alison’s going to use whoever she can to keep us here forever”. Saying that it’s worked, “I’m not doing the pageant”, Hanna listens as Emily says that she is, for her. As Emily says that she knows how much Hanna needs the money, and she swears she’s going to win the prize, Hanna tells Emily to stop, “A’s just going to come after you too”, to which Emily says that ‘A’ can come after her any day of the week, anywhere, but that’s not going to stop her from helping someone she loves.

In the Hastings’ great room, Hanna listens as Emily questions that the necklace found was for Mona, and Aria explains that Mike was holding onto any grain of hope, but not anymore as he realises she’s really dead. When Hanna comments that Mike didn’t realise how vicious ‘A’ can be, Spencer mentions that she can’t believe that Mike knows about ‘A’ at all. Emily says that for Mona to tell Mike she must have really trusted him, and Aria comments that Mona did more than she did. As a silence falls on them, Hanna listens as Emily what they do now, and if they tell Alison, to which Spencer questions how they can, before adding that they destroyed a lot of evidence that could have proved that she was innocent. Aria mentions that they basically made a barricade so the police had to throw her behind bars, and when Hanna wonders if they’re going to say anything before Alison’s trial, Emily says that they have to. Hanna then listens as Emily says that they accused Alison of being ‘A’, to her face, before Aria wonders how they take that back.

Bloody Hell

Closing her locker door, Hanna listens as Spencer asks where she was when they went to visit Alison, to which Hanna apologises, saying she chickened out. Hanna goes to say that she couldn’t go back there after calling Alison a liar and a murderer to her face, and when Spencer points out that Alison is a liar, Emily comments that up until yesterday they all thought she was a murderer too. Hanna then tells them that they didn’t make a personal appearance, “cut her open, pour salt in the wound and then exfoliate”, before asking whether Alison was upset. Spencer says that she doesn’t know as Hanna’s absence took a second position to the bomb they had to drop about Mona, to which Emily adds that after they left Alison was still pretty much in a state of shock. Hanna listens as Spencer looks to Aria before commenting that the stake of shock seems contagious, before asking her what’s going on. When Aria says that she’s fine, Emily wonders if this is about Mike, to which Aria tells them that if they don’t figure out who ‘A’ is before Alison’s trial starts.., before Spencer realises that Alison is going to feed Mike to her defence team. Emily asks if Alison’s lawyers can make Mike take the stand, and Spencer says they can, but he will be a hostile witness. Aria mentions that it’s not about Mike getting in trouble with the law, it’s that once he becomes Alison’s get out of jail free card, he’ll become A’s number one target.

Being led into the Hastings’ house by Veronica, Hanna and Aria listen as Veronica tells them that this will have to be a quick visit and that Spencer is up in her room. Thanking Veronica, Hanna and Aria start to head up the stairs.

In Spencer’s bedroom, Hanna exclaims that Spencer cannot leave now, “we just found out that Ali isn’t ‘A’, and we still don’t know whose trying to turn use into a chain gang”. Spencer asks what she’s supposed to do, and when Hanna suggests that she misses her flight, Spencer mentions they shouldn’t underestimate Veronica waiting in duty free to make sure she catches the next flight. Emily questions what Toby say about all this, to which Spencer says that she didn’t tell Toby, and the only way to get his attention these days is over a police scanner. Hanna listens as Emily questions if Veronica can postpone the interview, to which Spencer says that if Emily has any suggestions on what to say to Veronica, she’s all ears. Hanna suggests that Spencer tell her mom the truth, and when they girls all look at her, Hanna says she thinks it’s about time Spencer finally comes clean and asks her mom for help. Spencer asks if Hanna is serious, and when Aria says that they can’t do that, Hanna questions why they can’t. Emily comments that perhaps Hanna is right, before wondering what they have to lose, and when Aria says her brother, Emily tells her that Spencer’s mom can help Mike. Aria says that Veronica can’t help them find ‘A’, before asking if they really want to rattle A’s cage by telling now because they all know what happens when they do.

Walking into her kitchen and over to the fridge, Hanna listens as Ashley questions whether Hanna told her there was a way to see if someone has read the email you sent them. Hanna tells her she can’t if she didn’t “attach the thingy to attach to do it”, and when Ashley wonders how Hanna knows she didn’t, Hanna asks if she did. As Ashley shrugs, Hanna walks over to the sink to get a glass, all while listening as Ashley explains that she sent her resume for a few job openings and she hasn’t heard back from any of them. Ashley’s cell phone rings, and after checking the caller ID, she tells Hanna that she’s going to take the call upstairs. As Ashley is walking out of the kitchen, Aria knocks on the patio doors, before letting herself in. Hanna questions where Aria has been, “I covered for you in school, but…”, to which Aria says that her brother is on borrowed time and she can’t be sitting in Spanish conjugating verbs. As Aria then comments that she really needs to talk to Cyrus, Hanna questions if Aria really thinks they’re going to find ‘A’ through Cyrus, before saying that she’d be lucky to even find Cyrus. Aria tells Hanna that she already did, before explaining that she went back to the diner looking for a lead and she found one. Aria goes on to say that Hank Mahoney is a regular and he works as a mechanic at a garage an hour and a half away. Saying that Aria shouldn’t have done that, Hanna listens as Aria mentions that when she got to the garage a shop manager told her that Hank was injured while he was working on a car. Hanna tells Aria to stop saying Hank, it’s confusing, before questioning where Cyrus is. Aria tells her that he’s being treated at Tack Memorial Hospital, and she called but he can’t have visitors until tomorrow. Listening as Aria says they need to go down there and talk to Cyrus before he disappears again, Hanna questions why Aria is willing to go down this road with the guy who tried to run her over with his hog. Aria explains that when Mike met up with Cyrus, Cyrus admitted that he was paid to set Alison up, so if they can talk to him again, maybe he can give them some sort of insight into who contacted them. Questioning why Cyrus would tell them now, “because we’ll ask nicely?”, Hanna listens as Aria says that they’re willing to pay him, but Hanna tells her, “no. No, I’m not”. Picking up her glass, Hanna mentions that Emily is already popping and locking her way into college, to which Aria tells her fine, she’ll figure something else out, but Hanna has to come with her. Shaking her head, Hanna says she doesn’t think that’s a good idea, “he’s kind of a scary guy”, but Aria says that he’s their only link to the real ‘A’.

At Tack Memorial Hospital, Hanna listens as a nurse asks who she and Aria are, and Aria explains that they’re Cyrus’ cousins. The nurse tells Hanna that she can’t bring the flowers she’s holding into the room, before telling the guys to put some hand sanitiser on their hands, front and back. As the nurse passes the girls a gown to put on, Hanna questions if she’s sure the gown is really necessary, “we’re just going to see him for a second”, to which the nurse tells her that’s all the time they’ll get, but she’s not going to risk the girls giving Cyrus or any of the other patients an infection. Noticing a sign for the burn unit, Hanna comments that Aria didn’t tell her that, and Aria says that she didn’t know and that she thought Cyrus had a broken leg or something. As the nurse tells Hanna and Aria that no hair net means no visit, they rip into the plastic bags to net and gown.

Walking into the burn unit and over to Cyrus’ bed, Hanna listens as the nurse tells Cyrus that he has visitors. As the nurse walks away and Cyrus turns to face Hanna and Aria, Aria says that she and Hanna wanted to come talk with him, but they didn’t realise he had been in such a bad accident. Cyrus mentions that it was no accident, and when Aria asks what he means, and if someone did this to him, Cyrus doesn’t answer. Aria asks what happened, and flipping a bandage packet over, Cyrus scribes the word ‘Carjack’ when Aria passes him a sharpie. Picking up the bandage packet, Aria shows Hanna what Cyrus has written, before reading it out loud. The nurse walks back over, telling Hanna and Aria to say goodbye. As they’re walking out of the burn unit, Hanna asks if they can have two more minutes, and when the nurse says she’s sorry, Hanna pleads, “please, two more minutes is all we need”, but the nurse tells her that she’s not here for Hanna’s needs, her job is to take care of Hanna’s cousin. Hanna tells the nurse that Cyrus would want them to stay longer, and saying that she understands, the nurse tells Hanna that what Mr Mahoney needs right now is rest.

Hanna tells the nurse that she just has to go back in and see Cyrus, but the nurse tells Hanna to take a step back or she’s going to have to call security.

As Hanna and Aria are walking away from the nurse’s station, the nurse tells Hanna to next time wear pants. Hanna tells Aria that she could have taken the nurse, but Aria tells Hanna no, she couldn’t have. Waiting for an elevator, Hanna mentions that Aria could have distracted the nurse, and when Aria questions what Hanna would have wanted her to do, Hanna exclaims “something”, before saying that the prison guards were less intimidating, “I mean I took one step towards that room and she flew over that desk like crouching tiger, hidden dragon”. Walking into the elevator, Hanna adds that ‘A’ is tying up loose ends and Cyrus is one of them. As Hanna is grabbing her car keys from her pocket, the bandage packet that Cyrus wrote on falls out. When Hanna picks the packet up, she realises that the ‘C’ is a ‘V’, and telling Aria to look, Hanna comments that it’s not Carjack, “we read it wrong. It’s Varjack”. Saying that Cyrus wasn’t trying to tell them what happened, Hanna realises that he was trying to tell them who did it. Aria questions if Hanna thinks that ‘A’ is going by the name Varjack, to which Hanna wonders why not, “Spencer always said how Ali was obsessed with Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Adding that Alison turned into Holly for the fake passport, Hanna theorises that maybe ‘A’ is taunting her by being Paul Varjak. As Aria comments that Cyrus spelt Varjak wrong, Hanna realise that “that’s awesome”. When Aria wonders why that’s awesome, and that it just means Cyrus is a bad speller, Hanna mentions that it means Cyrus has never seen it written down, “that ‘A’ hasn’t contacted him through email or text”. Aria then realises that Cyrus and ‘A’ spoke.

Arriving home, Hanna walks into the kitchen to find Ashley places some yellow tulips into a vase, “hey”. Questioning if Ashley heard back from a job, Hanna listens as Ashley tells her no, not yet, before Ashley shows Hanna her left hand, which is baring an engagement ring. Sitting down, Hanna listens as Ashley says that Ted called and they went on a walk to talk, and the rest is history. When Hanna only says “wow”, Ashley comments that her response really put the luke in lukewarm, to which Hanna says that she’s happy for her. Ashley mentions that she’s confused, before saying that Hanna was the one to convince her to go back to Ted and beg for his forgiveness. Hanna mentions that she doesn’t think it’s fair that Ted made her twist in the wind for so long, but Ashley says that she’s glad Ted took his time to think about it, because if he’s just said okay right away, it wouldn’t have been honest, and he needed to come to it in his own time. Hanna questions whether that makes Ashley feel as though she wished she hadn’t apologise, to which Ashley tells her no. Hanna then listens as Ashley says that she feels awful about what she did, but she needed to say what she said for not only Ted to forgive her, but for her to forgive herself.

Walking into the visitation room at Chester County Women’s Correctional Facility, Hanna takes a seat opposite Alison. There’s a silence between the girls before Hanna mentions that she bought Alison some magazines, “but they took them”. When Alison says that they have to go through the canteen, Hanna comments that the guards told her, “I’ll do that”. Hanna then mentions that she’s been thinking about what she said, but Alison cuts her off, telling her to please not apologise. Hanna listens as Alison says that when she first got to prison she kept thinking of how this happened and what she did to deserve it, and that she honestly thought she was helping the girls by telling them what to wear, how to act, who to like, and then when they stopped listening, she found new people who would. Alison adds that being here, no one listens to her, and she can’t even decide what to wear or what to eat, or even when to shower because she’s told everything, and everything’s in order. Alison goes on to say that she never realised how bad that felt, to be on the other side of that, so she’s sorry. Alison then asks if Hanna thinks they can start over, and shaking her head, Hanna admits that she doesn’t know, “but we could try”. Adding that it can only happen if Alison if honest with them, “about everything”, Hanna watches as Alison nods, saying okay, to which Hanna then asks who Varjak is.

To Plea or Not to Plea

Walking down the stairs, Hanna overhears Veronica Hastings speaking with her mom in the kitchen. Standing by the front door, Hanna listens as Veronica reveals to Ashley that Alison’s been offered a plea bargain, and part of the deal is to name her accomplice. Veronica goes on to say that she spoke to a friend of hers in the DA’s office and they think it’s Hanna. Walking towards the kitchen, but staying out of sight, Hanna eavesdrops as Veronica says that Tanner found what she thought were remains of a body in a barrel with acid. Veronica goes on to say that the barrel was in a storage unit and Tanner saw Hanna outside the unit that same day. Veronica then mentions that yesterday tests confirmed that there were bone fragments in the acid, before adding that while they were too small to get DNA, Tanner believes the body is Mona’s. Ashley says that she’s sure there’s a reasonable explanation for why Hanna was there, one that has nothing to do with Mona, or Alison. When Ashley mentions that Hanna doesn’t even speak to Alison, Veronica tells her that Hanna visited Alison in jail, twice. Having heard enough, Hanna walks towards the door and quietly leaves the house.

At Rosewood High, Hanna tells Emily that she can’t believe this is happening to her. Emily comments that Alison’s not going to take the plea, she’s innocent and she knows Mona planned this game, to which Hanna exclaims that it’s not going to be easy to prove. Listening as Emily says that even if Alison does take the plea, she won’t name Hanna as her helper, she wouldn’t sink that low, Hanna says that she wants to believe that, but they all know Alison looks after herself first, “and I’m the easy target”. Emily mentions that she’ll go to the jail and talk with Alison, but Hanna tells her no, “I’ll go”, and maybe if Alison sees her it’ll make it harder for her to ruin her life. Emily tells Hanna that she can’t go, she’ll just be giving Tanner more ammo. At that moment, Hanna’s cell phone rings, and seeing that it’s her mom calling, Hanna declines the call. As Aria walks over, having been on a call of her own, Hanna asks what Jason said. Aria explains that Kenneth is with Alison right now, but she’s not taking any other visitors. Emily questions why Alison would do that, and Hanna says that it’s because Alison doesn’t want to face them. Aria then tells Hanna and Emily that Jason said that Alison’s lawyer got her so rattled about the trial that she’s considering taking the plea.

Pacing Caleb’s apartment, Hanna tells him that Tanner saw them both at the storage unit, “after she takes me down she can go after you to and it’ll be all my fault”. Caleb tells Hanna to calm down, before saying that as far as they know, all Tanner has is her suspicion. Listening as Caleb adds that if Tanner had enough evidence to arrest her, she’d have done it already, Hanna questions if Alison doesn’t take the plea this whole nightmare can go away, but Caleb tells her they’ll have to wait to see what other evidence the police have on her. Hanna questions how, and Caleb says they find out by talking with Toby. Saying that they’ve already been down that road with Toby, “he’s not going to tell us anything”, Hanna listens as Caleb tells her that he’s not going to give Toby a choice this time. As there’s a knock on the door, Hanna watches as Caleb goes to open it, and when he does, Hanna listens as her mom tells her that she needs to come home with her.

Arriving home, Hanna starts walking off towards the kitchen when Ashley pulls her up, telling her that she’s not going anywhere until she gets some answers. Hanna comments that she already told Ashley that she had nothing to do with Mona’s murder, to which Ashley mentions that she said she believed her, but she’s not making it easy. Ashley questions why Hanna won’t tell her what she was doing at the storage unit, and Hanna notes that once Ashley knows, she can’t un-know. Bewildered, Ashley tells Hanna that this isn’t a debate, and she doesn’t have a choice, she needs to tell her now. When Hanna doesn’t say anything, Ashley calls her out, and seeing no other choice, Hanna explains that she went to the storage unit to move everything out of it, “I thought Mona’s bloody clothes would be there, and maybe her body”. Stunned, Ashley says she thought Hanna just said she had nothing to do with Mona’s death, and Hanna exclaims that she didn’t, “but someone put my name on the storage unit’s lease”, and they rented it the day before Mona was murdered. Ashley questions who would do that, and if it was Alison, but Hanna tells her no, “someone is framing her and now that same person is trying to frame me”.

Sitting down at the table, Hanna explains that she and Caleb were going to move the barrel out of the bin, but before they could do it Tanner and Toby showed up. Ashley asks why Hanna didn’t tell her about this before she and Caleb went to the storage unit, to which Hanna says she didn’t want to drag Ashley into her mess. Ashley reminds Hanna that she’s her mother and it’s her job to protect her, and as Hanna says that she’s sorry, Ashley wonders if Hanna understands how serious this is, and nodding, Hanna says she does. Ashley then questions if Hanna has any idea who is doing this to her, and shaking her head, Hanna says she thought it was Alison, but it’s not, “I don’t know who it is”.

Opening the patio doors for Caleb, Hanna listens as he asks if Ashley is home. Saying that her mom’s not, “she’s in town meeting with a lawyer”, Hanna asks why, but Caleb doesn’t answer. Asking Caleb what’s wrong, Hanna listens as Caleb explains that he just got off the phone with Toby. Hanna questions if Toby told him what evidence the police have against her, but Caleb shakes his head, instead telling Hanna that Toby wanted him to know that a judge just issued a warrant for her arrest. Realising that Alison took the plea, Hanna listens as Caleb says that he guesses so. Hanna then questions how Alison could do this to her, and Caleb suggests that Alison may have panicked. As Hanna says that she has to get out of here, Caleb questions where she’s going to go, to which Hanna tells him she doesn’t know, “anywhere but here”. Caleb tells her that she cannot run, it’ll only make things worse, to which Hanna wonders how things will get worse, “I’m going to be arrested for something I didn’t do”. As Hanna then adds that there’s no way out, Caleb tells her there is, and that she can tell Tanner about ‘A’. Hanna says that she can’t do that, but Caleb tells her that’s who’s doing this to her, not Alison. Saying that ‘A’ will retaliate, Hanna listens as Caleb mentions that ‘A’ already has, over and over again. Caleb then tells Hanna that it’s time to put a stop to it, but Hanna says that this isn’t a decision she can make on her own, “this affects Aria, Spencer and Emily just as much as me”. Hanna listens as Caleb tells her that she doesn’t have time to discuss it with the, before saying that if she tells Tanner everything unravels: all of their secrets, all the lies they’ve told, their time in New York, Shana, Aria. Caleb comments that Hanna’s friends will understand, to which Hanna says that if they don’t, she’ll be screwing them just like Alison’s screwed her. Caleb then tells her that the cops are probably already on their way here, and while he understands that doing this will change everything for everybody, he doesn’t see what other choice Hanna has.

Sitting in the car out the front of the Rosewood Police Department, Hanna stays seated as Caleb gets out and starts walking across the road. When he notices that Hanna hasn’t followed suit, he goes and opens her door. Getting out, Hanna listens as Caleb tells her that she can do this, to which Hanna questions what if Tanner doesn’t believe her. Caleb reminds her that she has all of those threats from ‘A’ on her phone, and Tanner is going to believe her. Stepping in for a hug, Hanna and Caleb hold onto each other tight. As they pull away, Caleb asks if Hanna is ready, and telling him, “yeah”, Hanna and Caleb start walking off towards the Police Department.

Inside the Rosewood Police Department, Hanna listens as an Officer asks what she wanted to speak with Lieutenant Tanner about. Hanna tells the Officer that someone’s framing her and Alison DiLaurentis for Mona Vanderwaal’s murder, “and I can prove it”. The officer looks between Hanna and Caleb, before asking Hanna what her name is. Hanna gives her name to the Officer, and he tells her to hold on, and he’ll be right back. Getting out her cell phone, Hanna looks over the messages from ‘A’, when all of a sudden someone remotely gains access to the messages, “wait, what just happened?” Passing the device to Caleb, they watch as her cell is remotely hacked, and all the ‘A’ messages are deleted. As Caleb says that the hacker is wiping Hanna’s cell clean, Hanna takes the phone back. When the Officer comes back and announces that Tanner will see Hanna, and just Hanna, both Hanna and Caleb look up, their faces shocked.

Having been arrested, Hanna has her fingerprints taken.

Hanna has her mug shot taken.

At Chester County Women’s Correctional, Hanna is led through the corridors towards her cells as a bevy of catcalls are thrown her way. Walking past Alison’s cell, Hanna stops momentarily to look in, before walking off and entering her cell.

The Melody Lingers On

In a visitation room at Chester County Women’s Correctional Facility, Hanna listens as Ashley tells her that opening statements in Alison’s trial starts at 9.00am, and she’s going to be there. When Ted says he’s not sure that’s a good idea, Ashley tells him she’s going, and if something happens that will affect Hanna, she doesn’t want to hear about it second-hand. Exclaiming that someone is doing this to her, Hanna questions that Ashley understands that, before Ashley says that they know who that someone is. Hanna says that she told Ashley that it’s not Alison, to which Ashley mentions that Alison DiLaurentis is capable of anything, and that she’s experienced that first hand. Ted speaks up, saying that Ashley cannot be certain, to which Ashley tells him she’s certain enough. Turning back to Hanna, Ashley tells her daughter that if she knows anything about Alison, now is the time to speak up while she still help her own case. Hanna asks if it’s to do anything to save herself, before questioning Ted as to what part of scripture that’s from. Ted tells Hanna that it’s about telling the truth, to which Hanna says that she is telling the truth, “I didn’t do anything, and Ali didn’t do anything either”. Ashley then exclaims that she doesn’t care about the truth, she cares about getting her daughter out of prison, and that’s all she cares about.

Walking into the laundry room, Hanna locks eyes with Alison. As they sort through laundry together, Hanna listens as Alison tells her that the personal ads are real, and when Hanna questions that the ads are real but the passport’s a fake, “how does that work?”, Alison explains that somebody planted them, but she hid things in the house too. As Alison says that everybody hides things, Hanna questions the phone number Spencer found, and Alison tells her that that’s real. Hanna then wonders who Alison was talking to, and Alison says that she wasn’t talking, she was texting. Alison explains that when he mother was killed somebody bought a tribute ad in the paper and all it said ‘goodnight light, and the red balloon’ and a response number. Quoting, “goodnight light”, Hanna comments that she knows that, “it’s from a book”, and Alison says that Jessica used to read it to her when she was a baby. Questioning who would know that, Hanna listens as Alison mentions that is what she was trying to find out, so she answered the personal ad and two days later she got another ad. As Alison quotes the personal ad, ‘goodnight nobody, goodnight brush’, Hanna finishes the quote, “goodnight to the old lady whispering hush”, before Alison says she then got a phone number, and she sent a text. Whipping her head around to look at Alison, Hanna wonders why she didn’t tell them she was doing this, “you’ve been talking to ‘A’ and you never said a word”, to which Alison reminds Hanna that Aria killed Shana in New York and her mother was buried in Spencer’s backyard, and she was afraid the girls were going to get hurt. Listening as Alison says that whoever it was they knew who killed Jessica, and they were just torturing her, and it wasn’t ‘A’, it was Mona, Hanna just looks at Alison before asking how she can be so sure it was Mona. Alison tells Hanna that the only thing she’s sure about is that the texts stopped when Mona was killed, before Hanna watches as Alison walks off.

Sitting across from Caleb in a visitation room, Hanna listens as Caleb questions that all that time Alison was talking to somebody about her mother and she never told Hanna and the girls, to which Hanna says that Alison thinks it was Mona. Saying that Alison’s scared, Hanna notes that Alison’s trying to be brave, “but I can see something running around inside her behind her eyes”, and when Caleb asks if there’s anything running around behind her eyes, Hanna tells him, “oh yeah. Snakes, spiders, flying monkeys. Nothing I can’t handle”. Reaching across to take Hanna’s hand, Caleb tells her that they’re going to get her out of prison, he promises, to which Hanna tells him to be careful of what he promises. As Caleb says her name, Hanna mentions that she’s starting to think this isn’t going to work out the way they’re wanting it to. Listening as Caleb tells her she can’t think like that, they will figure it out, Hanna says that even if they figure it out, no one is going to believe them, “I wouldn’t believe this story and it’s happening to me”. Caleb tells Hanna that she can’t lose hope, and Hanna notes that the only thing she hopes for is for Caleb to stay safe, “that’s the only promise I want you to make”. Going on, Hanna tells Caleb that if things get worse she wants him to find a way out, and when Caleb questions what she means by out, Hanna says, “out, away, gone. I want you to get on a plane or a boat and go somewhere they can’t find you”. Saying that she can manage as long as Caleb is safe, Hanna listens as Caleb comments that he’s not going to do that, but Hanna tells him that that’s what she wants him to do, “promise me”.

At the phones, Hanna listens to a recording that Aria received on her cell. Caleb asks if she’s getting it, and when Hanna says that she is, Spencer comments that they don’t know what it means, to which Hanna tells them that she does, “I mean, I don’t know, but I’ve heard it before”. Emily asks where, and Hanna tells them, “Mona’s room”, before explaining that Mona used to play this song, “French music”, from people like Edith Pilaf. Aria questions if Hanna means like the rice dish, but Spencer says that Hanna meant Edith Piaf. Turning off the music, Caleb tells that girls that Alison was wrong, it was never Mona taunting her, it was ‘A’, and when Emily questions why ‘A’ would call back and play that song, and why not let them keep thinking it was Mona, Caleb says it’s A’s way of rubbing it in their faces. Hanna listens as Aria concludes that Mona never sent the lawyer, but it doesn’t mean she left them in the dark, and Emily mentions that Mona hid the tape Hanna found in the book. As Emily says that the police went all over Mona’s room and never found it, Hanna wonders, “so?”, to which Spencer says that maybe there’s more and maybe the answers are still in Mona’s bedroom. When Emily says that they’ve got to get back to Mona’s room, Spencer tells Hanna that she spent more time in that room than any of them, so she should try to think of places Mona would have hid stuff. Aria mentions that they need to talk to Mona’s mom, and when Emily comments that Leona wasn’t at the trial, Spencer says that it’s got to be hard to hear people talking about your dead daughter, to which Hanna exclaims that if there is something in Mona’s room that could get her out of prison, she doesn’t care how upset Leona is, “just find it”. Caleb tells Hanna that they’ll do it, and as there’s a beeping coming over the line, Hanna says that she’s about to be cut off. As Spencer tells Hanna to hang on, Aria comments for her to stay strong, and Emily says that they love her, the call ends.

In a visitation room, Hanna tells Ashley that she’s sorry. Ashley says that it’s all her fault, and it should be her saying sorry. Hanna questions for what, “for being human?”, before saying that she’s sorry for giving Ashley such a hard time. Ashley tells Hanna that she’s made an awful lot of mistakes, so many mistakes, to which Hanna tells her that it’s going to be okay, and whatever happens, they’ll be okay. Ashley mentions that she’s supposed to be saying that to Hanna, and Hanna says that it’s not going to be that bad, and maybe she’ll write a book or something, “like of people write books in prison. Martha Stewart wrote one”. Shaking her head and smiling, Ashley comments that she hopes Hanna didn’t get the bad decision gene from her, to which Hanna says that she hopes she did, “I hope I got all your DNA in me. That means I’ll be smart, and I’ll be brave, and I’ll sing my daughter the best level advice when she’s scared”. Reaching across to take Hanna’s hand, Ashley questions if Hanna knows how much she loves her, and Hanna tells her yeah, “I think I do”.
