After Malcolm leaves, Jake asks Aria who Ezra is. Aria explains a little.

At the Brew, Aria talks about Jake a little to Spencer. Spencer teases her by having no emotion when she talks about Jake, because of how vaguely Aria responded when the other girls asked her how Jake is previously.

Later on, Aria explains the whole situation and story about Ezra. Jake tells her that she isn't done with Ezra, but Aria assures him that she really is, and has to be. Aria kisses Jake. He asks her if she really wants to be with somebody who kisses her after telling a story like that.

Jake says he's here for Aria without complications, even if she's not available. At Aria's house, she and Jake are watching TV. She apologizes for ruining his night, but he says he's happy to be here. They flip through channels until an Insidious 2 ad shows up on TV.

He asks her if she's seen the first one, and she says she's watched it twice, but this one looks even more terrifying. They make plans to see the movie. Aria nearly says it's a date, but stops herself, remembering that she doesn't feel like she's ready to start dating. But this hints at her interest in Jake.

Jake confronts Aria (while she is looking to confront Jenna about Alison) about lying about having plans that night so she wouldn't have to invite him. She says that it slipped her mind. She asks about his date and Jake asks her if she's jealous, to which Aria says that she's not since they're not dating.

Later, Aria finds Emily and asks where Spencer is. They go outside and find Jake.

After saving Jenna, Aria and Jake go home. Aria makes him a hot drink and they talk about what happened with Jenna. The conversation changes and becomes about their relationship.

The Mirror Has Three Faces

Aria goes to Jake's match. She ignores Ezra's call when she's outside of the match. Later, they're eating on the stairs at night. Jake begins to talk about how his lip cut stings when he eats, and Aria mocks him about not being able to handle it. She then mocks him about how small the cut is. She begins to "challenge" him to see if she can make his cut hurt, and she does this by kissing him. She asks if it hurts, and he shakes his head. She tries a few times, until Jake shows her how, by pulling her in for a really deep kiss.

Now You See Me, Now You Don't

After having had dinner, Aria and Jake watch a movie afterwards, in which Jake falls asleep as result of boredom. Once awake, Jake tells Aria dinner and a movie gets to him all the time and that they should watch the rest of it later. Jake then tells her he's leaving as he needs to get some rest; much to the dismay of Aria who goes to the Brew and cheats on him by kissing Ezra.

Close Encounters

Initially, Jake made plans to go out to eat with Aria. She declined and then told him that she wanted to break up with him. Jake then realizes she likes Ezra and she tells him that they have more of a history. She offers to be friends, but he says no and that he has to think about it longer. Later, Jake saw Ezra screaming at a blonde girl in a car right while he was walking by the Grille.

Aria returns to his house to give back the piece of jewelry. Jake then tells her that he saw Ezra yelling at the blonde near the Grille, but Aria doesn't believe him, and tells him Ezra told her he was in Philly. He then tells Aria that maybe Ezra is the one she's afraid of and to be careful around him.

Later, Jake is seen throwing punches at a dummy, and goes to his punching bag. But while he is kicking it, he feels massive pain as his foot is cut open by knives hidden inside.
