Series
In "Please, Do Talk About Me When I'm Gone," Spencer and the girls must contend with Alison’s older brother who's got plenty of plans for Alison's memorial. He basically takes over the planning. He also uses this visit to light a fire under the police department to find some leads in his sister's murder.
Later, Spencer speaks to Jason alone, discussing Alison and the prospect of putting away her killer. Jason confesses that he thinks that imprisoning the killer would not provide closure, as nothing can change the fact that his 15-year-old sister was murdered. But, Spencer thinks justice is worth something. At the mention of justice, Jason balks, accusing Spencer of being a hypocrite, when Ali had told him that she instigated "The Jenna Thing" and was the one who threw the stink bomb and threatened Toby into silence.
After the memorial, Jason stops by Spencer's house to thank her and the other girls, and gives them Alison's name bracelet, which she had been wearing at the time of her death.
In "If At First You Don't Succeed, Lie, Lie Again," Spencer goes to seek out Jason DiLaurentis, where he's working out at the local baseball field. He reveals that he is in Rosewood "taking care of family business." Without wasting time, Spencer shows him the photograph "A" had sent to her; Jason reveals that he‘s received similar photos of Alison surrounding the night she disappeared and goes on to tell her that a private investigator has determined many of them to be fake. Still, he is willing to see if this one is real. Before she leaves, Jason apologizes for acting like a jerk while planning Ali's memorial, and Spencer accepts.In "The Goodbye Look," Spencer brings store-bought brownies over to Jason's house to welcome him back. After throwing a newspaper at a stray dog in his yard, Jason says he is sorry about what happened in the bell-tower between her and Ian. Then he questions her about it, wanting to know if Ian actually confessed to killing Alison. Spencer cannot give him an absolute answer and Jason seems angry, going back inside the house, letting the door shut loudly behind him.
In "Breaking the Code," turns out Jason does trust Spencer because he gave her the money.
In "Birds of a Feather," after Jason has a little fight with Spencer's mom at the Grille and storms out, Spencer goes after him to make sure he is okay. He says he is fine and staples a flyer offering a reward of $50,000 for information leading to the identity of the person who dug up Ali's grave.
Later at school, Spencer waits for Jason outside his classroom. She asks him again if he is okay, but this time he responds that he could be better. Spencer recommends that Jason should drop the reward and let the police handle it, but reminds her the police don't have such a good track record considering how they handled Ali's murder case. Jason remarks that he can tell when someone is lying and will be able to sift through the calls and find the one person who is telling the truth. Spencer and Jason then argue about Veronica's motives in taking Garrett's case, but before Jason can explain his thoughts, he gets a call and says he has to take it.
In "The Remains of the "A"," Spencer enlists Jason help with her search of April Rose, the name written on the note in Garrett's mother's hospital room. Jason does not remember any girls named April Rose. Spencer brings up the N.A.T club. Jason is surprised that she knows about that and asks how but Spencer ignores the question and wonders if she was one of the girls they filmed. Jason says he never filmed anyone, but admits to watching the videos and that he actually came up with the idea for the club in the first place, not something he is proud of. Jason reveals that Ian and Garrett used to pay girls to set up their friends and April Rose could very well have been one of them, but he wouldn't know because at that point he had walked away from the whole thing.
Jason later goes to Spencer's house where he says he found April Rose and shows her the yearbook page advertising the secondhand shop. Spencer grabs her bag and tells him that he is driving.
Jason and Spencer bring the anklet to the police station where Jason says that an anonymous tip led him to it. Spencer asks Jason if he still has the love letters between Peter and Jessica. Jason is hesitant to show them to Spencer because it will only hurt to read them. Spencer smiles and remarks how different Jason is from Ali, who never tried to spare Spencer's feelings. Jason wonders what kind of person Ali would have become if she had the chance to grow up.
Later that night, Spencer is driving home and witnesses a car accident. She realizes it is Jason's car and goes to check on him, discovering he is drunk, and may have been trying to hurt himself. Spencer doesn't want the police to come arrest him, so she gets in the drivers' seat and tells him to pretend this never happened. When the cops show up at Spencer's house later on wondering why her car was found at the scene of an accident, she and Toby cover up Jason's drunk driving.
We learn in "Stolen Kisses" that Jason has left town.
Jason comes back for the Ghost Train Party in "This Is A Dark Ride." Spencer sees him walking into the Brew but before she can talk to him, the shuttle gets called. While on the train, Spencer finds Jason who is doing a lot better. He just got back into town and was going to stop by her house, but he saw Garrett. Spencer says he is an innocent man now, but Jason still has his doubts.
In "She's Better Now," Spencer sees Jason pull up to his house and goes to talk to him about friendship with Mona. She tries to warn him about her because of what she did to her and her friends. Spencer also informs him that Mona is dangerous and can't be trusted. Jason wants to give her the benefit of the doubt though because people used to say that about him.
Later that night, Jason sits on his porch when Spencer approaches him. They discuss the fire that happened at the school and Spencer makes a note that Mona walked away without a scratch. Spencer is about to say something, but Jason cuts her off saying he gets it now, that Mona is dangerous.
In "Dead To Me," Jason finds Spencer at The Brew where he discuss with her and her friends Ali's burial service. The police have released her remains to his family, so there will be a service at the mausoleum. Spencer refuses to go because she has said all the good-byes she needs and walks out of The Brew. Jason has a shocked look on his face wondering what is up with her.
The next day, Jason sees Spencer taking a lot of cash out of the ATM. Seeing how she walked out quickly in The Brew, he informs her that her friends are arriving at the service at seven. An angry Spencer, tells him to enjoy the party. Jason wants to know what is going on with her because Ali was one of her best friend, but Spencer refuses to tell him and drives away.
At the service, Spencer shows up after her friends and Jason went in. Jason is glad that she came, but she only came to tell him that Alison was pregnant that summer and that the father is Wilden. A hurt Jason leaves the service.
In "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted," Jason has an accident in the elevator and winds up in the hospital. Spencer finds her friends in the hall and has a concerned look on her face because she was worried about him.
In "Unbridled", Jason returns to Rosewood. Spencer and Emily see him outside The Brew and call out to him, but he ignores them and drives away.
The next day, Emily wants to know why Jason is ignoring them. Jason tells her that he needs to keep space between him and Spencer because he believes she is messing with his family. Emily tries to defend Spencer, but Jason clearly doesn't trust her anymore.
At the bridal show, Spencer runs into Jason, and he is cold towards her. She explains to him that she is there to help Hanna's mom, and not to spy on his mom. She then proceeds to ask him about seeing CeCe the night Ali dissapeared. Before he can answer, Dean interrupts their conversation. He then exposes the fact that Jason wasn't in rehab.Notes
