Hanna, still wearing her red dress, shows back up in Rosewood, ready to sign Lucas’s contract. She knows what she wants, and she’s taking it. Aria chews out Liam for being mean to Ezra (LOL), and Liam says out loud what the audience has been saying for six seasons: that Aria was seduced by her high school English teacher. Aria tries to explain the situation, but Liam really wants to know how she explains it to herself. To Aria’s credit, she doesn’t back down, and she doesn’t apologize. She’s proud of who she is and the mistakes she’s made along the way and doesn’t care what Liam thinks of her. I mean, yay Aria?
Ali wakes up from a drugged-out sleep and sees Emily’s face. Clearly out of it, she tells Emily that they are going to miss their flight. OMG, was Ali dreaming about going to Paris with Emily?! Emily tries to talk to her, but Ali sees Mary and starts talking to her as if she’s Jessica. She asks her why she left her buried in the cold ground, and how Elliot isn’t like what she said at all. Before she can continue, Elliot storms in and kicks everyone out. Ali screams for Emily not to go as the door slams.
Elliot is pissed that they saw Ali without his permission and drags Mary off for a private chat. Mary seems concerned about Ali’s mental state, and Elliot hasn’t been returning her calls. She tells him that torturing Ali wasn’t part of the plan (but dressing like Jessica and gaslighting her was?!), and he tells her that she got the money so she should leave him alone. Except, she hasn’t received the money yet. Emily watches them arguing and texts the other Liars that Mary and Elliot are up to something.
Meanwhile, Caleb comes home to a drunk and recently fired Spencer. Apparently, spending all your time in your childhood home is not conducive to being a D.C. lobbyist. Caleb tries to comfort her, but Spencer asks him if they made a mistake by hooking up. Caleb assures her that what they had was real, but he’s speaking in the past tense.
Back at Wellby, Ali is injected with more drugs as a sinister looking black music box plays on her bedside table. She fades in and out of consciousness as she’s wheeled into the O.R.
Next week, Ali is wearing a Hannibal-style mask, and other asylum tropes! What did you think of last night’s episode? Tweet me your feels @ChelseaProcrast
Big thanks to Nicole aka @PLLBigA for her screengrabs. She is the Louboutins to my red dress.
