Can everybody just stop hating on Aria? And all that stuff about you believing Hanna 100% if you were Aria is just, sorry, but bullshit.

The thing is: Hanna has completly turned to alcohol and Caleb, she doesn't say anything to her friends. Not even what has caused her new behaviour. A told them about Hanna accidently spilling things to Sydney, Hanna didn't. So of course Aria would be mad, if this gets out she could end up in jail. It's a big deal for her. And it's true that what Hanna did wasn't that bad and that Sydney probably already knew, but the liars don't know what we know. They don't know about Sydney working with Mona. The same way that Aria don't know exactly what Hanna told Sydney, she may think that it's worse than it actually is because Hanna never explained exactly what she said. On top of that Hanna is going out of her way to ignore Aria and never said that she was sorry. If she had actually stopped by before and really apologized to Aria than maybe Aria wouldn't have acted out the way she did later.

It makes sense that she wouldn't believe Hanna considering this and that people who get drunk all the time has a hard time remembering the right things and can misinterept actions. Just think about how no one believed Spencer about Ezra when she was on drugs last season. It's the same thing.

Besides, Zack has been nothing but nice to Aria since they met, she has no reason to doubt him. And as you can clearly see, she is thinking about what Hanna said when she looked all suspicious in the last scene and in the synopsis of this episode. I'm sure she'll realize that Hanna was right and apologize.

I am not justifying Aria's words, because they were really harsh. But I think that the way she acted out is understandable and very realistic. She is stressed and worried and in denial since she just wants to see her mom happy, it makes her say and do dumb stuff, stuff she'll later regret. Now, have you never ever said stuff to hurt people that wasn't entirly true, but that you later regretted? Jeez, no one is perfect.
