Aria runs into Jasus Christ Superstar, who asks her about the fire at Aunt Carol’s house. Aria confesses that she was there and reveals to Jason that Mary Drake had a second child. Together they go to the family courts to uncover the adoption forms of the mystery baby. While waiting at the courthouse, Aria flashes back to her hazy, sunlit days in bed with shirtless Jasus. In the flashback, he invites her to go to Ethiopia with him and volunteer, but eventually she turns him down to take the publishing job. Why? Because the company published Ezra’s book and she’s still looking to reconnect with him. Gross.
Across town, Hanna tails Noel Kahn and spies him tossing some trash in a dumpster. She digs out the trash bag and finds Sara Harvey’s cell phone. We know this phone is Sara’s because the home screen pic is a selfie, and no one else on this show likes Sara enough to make her their wallpaper.
Meanwhile, Spencer tracks down Noel Kahn’s address, which turns out to be his family’s cabin in the woods…the very same woods where Hanna was held captive. Ugh, how are y’all still so bad at this mystery solving thing? It’s been seven seasons—get your lives together!
Spencer and Emily return to the murder cabin, the famous site of glass in hair, ghost shutters, and grand theft auto by Hanna. SO many memories. Spencer smashes a security camera, and they break into the house. After rifling through all the drawers, Spencer finds a wooden box sporting the same stamp on it that Maya had on her wrist. REMEMBER MAYA?! WERE WE EVER SO YOUNG? They find a flash drive in the box and pop it into Noel’s laptop. On it are folders for all the Liars, with security cam footage of them at the dollhouse. Spencer watches as Noel Kahn pours fake blood on her, tricking her into thinking she killed someone. Oof, this guy.
Back at the courthouse, the clerk won’t give Jason the adoption files. Aria then spills Jason’s tragic life story/family history, and the clerk relents, thinking that they are engaged. She promises to fax them the file later when she finds it. LOL faxing, remember that?
Hanna texts Noel from Sara’s phone, telling him to meet her at a bar. She buys some roofies and pours them in a beer, waiting for Noel to arrive. Throughout this whole covert op, Hanna has been disguising herself with…a baseball cap. She’s trying, guys.
