Synopsis[]

PLL111-0000

A car is seen stopping in some woods. The driver, donning a black hoodie, runs fast through the woods. Ashley is still driving home from the bank after taking the money in Mrs. Potter's account. A cop car puts on its siren, and she is forced to pull over. All Ashley can do is zip up her hand bag to conceal the wads of bills in her purse. Officer Barry Maple approaches her window. Ashley smiles wanly at him; at least she knows Barry. He informs her that Hanna was involved in a car accident.


PLL111-0029

Aria, Spencer, and Emily are left unraveled after Hanna was hit by a car, presumably driven by ―"A," on the night of Mona's glamping party. An unconscious Hanna is lifted on a stretcher and taken into an ambulance. Mona approaches the scene in the parking lot and is shocked to find out Hanna is the one being treated. Before Aria turns to leave with the other girls for the hospital, she makes eye contact with Noel, who is wearing a black hoodie.


PLL111-0104

The girls are at the hospital calling their parents when Hanna's mom (who is talking to Lucas) comes over to tell them Hanna has a broken leg, a broken ankle, bruised ribs, and the doctors may need to remove her spleen, but is going to be okay. She is clutching her full handbag tightly to her frame. Spencer accuses Toby, but much to Emily's surprise, Hanna's mom says the police picked him up last night. She sends the girls home and promises to call them when Hanna can have visitors. The girls have a brief debate over what to do and come to the grand conclusion of waiting until they can talk to Hanna.


PLL111-0152

Spencer gets home and her creepy sister is actually quite nice and comforting, although Spencer does get a bit of a surprise in the form of a semi-dressed Ian appearing in the doorway to ask about Hanna.


PLL111-0201

The next morning, Hanna wakes up in the hospital with her mother by her side. Hanna asks about her friends. Her mom tells her the girls were there the night before, along with Sean and Lucas. Ashely 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. Hanna reaches for her hospital room phone to call the girls.


PLL111-0202

"I See You"

Ezra shows Aria the "I SEE YOU" message written on the back of his car, and they discuss it in the middle of town in broad daylight. Aria keeps repeating that it doesn't mean anything and wipes it away with her sleeve.


PLL111-0229

Emily is eating breakfast with her dad and mother. She reveals that she and her boyfriend, Ben, broke up and tries to defend Toby, but her parents are having none of that.


PLL111-0337

The girls finally make it 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."

PLL111-0356

There's a knock on the door, and... it's Noel! Aria tells him Hanna is sleeping and takes him into the hallway for a chat. She tells him Hanna will be okay and takes the little teddy bear gift basket he brought. Noel eyes her and ominously tells her they need to talk. She promises to call him and asks him where he was last night. He says he was with Sean.

Mona reminisces about a past event shared with Hannah and tells her 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.


PLL111-0524

The rest of the girls rule out Ian as "A," since he was with Melissa the night before, but Aria still has to deal with Noel.


PLL111-0570

Aria's tinkling away on a piano when Noel finds her, so they can have their chat. She tells him she saw him at the campground after the accident. He claims he just wanted to scare a bunch of girls in the woods... Noel admits he saw Aria in Ezra’s car and doesn't deny he was the one who wrote on the car window. He offers to go to the principal with her, asking what Mr. Fitz made her do. She tells him it's not like that and makes him promise not to say anything, which he reluctantly agrees to.


PLL111-0716

Emily is trying to get an update on Toby when Jenna overhears and claims Toby doesn't want to talk to her. Emily mentions that incest thing to throw Jenna off a bit, and it works in incensing Jenna.


PLL111-0726

Alison at the hospital

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 she finds "A" to be a bitch and tells Hanna she needs to do something about her. She also says it was 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."


PLL111-0837

Ezra enters his classroom to find Aria sitting waiting for him. They jabber a bit about how Ezra makes Aria miserable sometimes, yet he doesn't make her unhappy. They decide to stay together while they stare into each other's eyes.


PLL111-0943

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. He confirms she din't hallucinate it; it did in fact happen. Lucas thinks she can do better than Sean and leaves her alone with her thoughts and her pudding.


PLL111-1021

Emily chats on the phone with Maya until she sees Wayne staring at her from her bedroom doorway. He's concerned about Toby, and keeps pushing Emily to tell him what's on her mind. After enough pushing, she finally comes out to him. He is momentarily silent.


PLL111-1052

"The tree"

Spencer and Aria walk in the woods and talk about Aria's affair with Ezra. Spencer declares it to be both self-destructive and really hot. It turns out they're looking for the tree with the "Alison + Ian" carving, but was conveniently chopped down!


PLL111-1076

Emily's parents discuss their daughter's newfound sexuality. "Someone made her this way!" "She's experimenting!" "Let's keep this in perspective." Wayne is understanding (and happy she's not on drugs or pregnant), while Pam is livid and judgmental. All the while, Emily is sitting at the top of the stairs, listening to their conversation.


PLL111-1165

Melissa and Ian

Aria and Spencer arrive at Spencer's house to talk. Ian invites them outside to drink a toast of champagne.

Is her sister sleeping with the enemy?

Ezra leaves his classroom late at night; Noel is lurking in the hallway.

Goofs/Trivia[]
