Previously on "Pretty Little Liars..."



Spencer, I'm your mother.

Your father will be home soon.

There was a problem with the passport.

How long is he gonna put off coming home to face me?

- Will you marry me?

- I need a minute.

(Spencer)

Jessica had a file on each of us.

Yeah, all of us except Aria.

She doesn't have a file.

I didn't finish my turn, so I was sent this.

Compliments of Jenna Marshall.

We're gonna take a nice little drive to go visit your friend, Jenna.

And on the way there, you're gonna tell us about how the two of you know someone with the initials A.D.

(Aria)

GPS tracker's in her bag.

Sydney's on the move.

I'll take first watch and follow her tonight.

Have someone call Forensics.

Give me an evidence bag.

(man on TV)

...Nicole Gordon has been found alive.

Nicole?

Hey.

♪ A vision so darkened... ♪

Nicole's upstairs.

She's sleeping.

♪ I cannot stay... ♪

I'm so sorry that she just took off, uh...

Someone saw her getting into a cab outside the trauma clinic.

Her therapist, her parents we've all been looking for her for hours.

She didn't tell you that she was coming here?

No, she didn't, so...

Thank you for texting me, letting me know.

Ezra, of course.

I will take her back to the clinic first thing tomorrow.

Okay.

♪ Carry me close like the tear drops... ♪

Hey, you don't have to go.

I'm not taking the sofa.

Nicole's already asleep upstairs.

I'm so sorry.

- I, I know how difficult...

- Ezra, I'm fine.

♪ But when I lay my... ♪

I, I...

I'm just tired.

And I thought that I should stay until you got back.

I'm really glad you did.

Thank you again.

I don't know what you've told her about us or what you haven't told her but there are pictures of me all over this place.

My clothes are upstairs in your closet.

So she's gonna have a lot of questions in the morning.

♪ On the shadow by your side ♪

♪ Don't let me go ♪

[crickets chirping]

The guest room's made up if you want something to sleep in like a T-shirt or...

No, I'm okay.

Thank you, really.

You're saving me from having to face my parents in the morning.

They still don't really understand the whole Nicole situation.

Do you?

Yeah, I understand why he wants to help her you know, especially after seeing her.

Have you eaten?

I'm not hungry.

It's not what I asked.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

- How long has that been here?

- I don't know.

[dramatic music]

[whirring]

[beeping]

[whirring]

Is there any chance this thing's broken?

It's not broken.

It's deciding.

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs]

- Allie?

- I called you last night.

- Oh, I was busy.

What's up?

- The game board.

When exactly did we decide to move it to my house?

Was it your idea?

What?

You're joking, right?

It took me an hour to get that monstrosity up to the loft so that nobody would see and you're saying that it's gone?

It's not gone, Spencer.

It's on my dining table.

Does that mean that it's your turn?

It hasn't decided yet.

- Hm...

- Are you always up this early?

Hey, good morning.

- Who are you talking to?

- Uh, nobody.

I really have to go, though, okay?

I'll, I'll call you right back.

Bye.

- Hey, did you sleep okay?

- Mm-hmm.

I'll go make us some coffee.

Or you could get back in bed just for a little bit.

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs]

Alright, I need to check this.

I'm waiting for an update on a case.

[cell phone ringing]

Everything okay?

I just got to head in a little earlier than I expected.

What case is it?

Sorry, I can't talk about it.

- I'll call you later, okay?

- Yeah, of course.

Yeah, Caleb's doing much better.

They sent him home last night.

No, Lucas, it's not your fault.

I should have been there.

Well, maybe the investors will change their mind.

Alright, we'll talk soon.

♪ Ah you think you got me where you... ♪

- Does this smell?

- What?

One sniff, please?

Supposed to do laundry last night but I was out following Sydney until a.m.

- You're fine.

- Okay.

Except for that giant coffee stain.

- How did it even get there?

- Oh.

Well, Clara Mott tripped in the teacher's lounge and got it all over me.

Never mind, wear this.

So what happened last night?

Did Sydney lead you to Jenna?

Not unless Jenna lives in the bathroom of a Greyhound bus.

That's where Sydney left the tracker that we put in her bag.

And by the time I found it, we were halfway to Pittsburgh.

A.D.'s still one step ahead and I am minutes late to work.

Can I eat this?

- Em.

- No?

[sighs]

I'm the first one who hasn't completed her turn.

Look, I know you're worried but maybe putting Caleb in the hospital and hurting your business was your punishment.

Just try not to freak out over something you can't control.

[sighs]

Hey, Marie.

Sorry I missed the meeting.

Hey, Sal.

Hey, so sorry I'm late.

- What did I miss?

- Not much.

- Handout?

- Sure.

What are you doin' for lunch?

My treat.

I can't.

I'm having lunch with Hackett.

Oh.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

I heard from the University of Iowa.

They're offering me the assistant coaching position.

I thought they offered that to someone else and that's why you took the job here.

I guess they changed their minds.

Wow!

That's...

- You're gonna take it?

- I'd be stupid not to, right?

Good morning.

Hey!

You're back.

Yeah, I'm in between classes.

Can we talk?

Yeah, just give me a sec.

Mom, did you get any mail?

I'm expecting a...

[door shuts]

(Peter)

Spencer!

Hey.

Mom said that you wouldn't be back until Thursday.

Uh, yeah, I, I caught an earlier flight.

I wish I could have been here sooner after everything you've been going through.

You mean getting sh*t or finding out that Mom isn't my real mom?

She's your real mom, Spencer.

She raised you.

We both love you.

Just stop.

Stop, okay?

You flew into Philly over a week ago same time that Mom did.

There was no issue with your passport.

There was no emergency business deal that you needed to attend to.

So where were you?

Where were you that was more important than being here with me?

I was looking for Mary.

I-I wanted to be here, believe me...

But after everything I put you and your mother through I won't let that woman do any more damage to this family.

I know you're confused and you're hurt.

I still can't explain what I did but as big as a mistake as it was and, Spencer, it was huge, I know that.

I don't regret what happened because we ended up with you.

You are our daughter.

We love you so much.

Did you...

Find Mary?

No, not yet.

But I'm working with an investigator, and we will.

And then what?

Are you gonna chase her away so that I never get to see her again?

That's the plan, isn't it?

Spencer!

[door shuts]

[sighs]

I know this hasn't been easy on you keeping this secret from me but you won't have to do it for much longer.

I have made an appointment to terminate the pregnancy.

You sound certain.

That's good.

Archer...

He manipulated me into loving him and marrying him.

And when he locked me up at Welby he literally took away my ability to make decisions on anything.

And this pregnancy, it feels like he's still in control.

I want my life back, Em.

- You don't have to explain.

- I know.

It's just the first time that I have said it all out loud.

When's your appointment?

I take the first pill at the clinic this weekend.

And the next one at home a few days later.

Can I take you to the clinic?

Yeah.

[sighs]

[knock on door]

Detective Furey.

Miss DiLaurentis.

Do you have a moment?

Sure.

She said that treatment facility just felt like another form of captivity.

So she hailed a very expensive cab and drove back to the last place she called home.

Your apartment?

The therapist had asked us not to tell Nicole about the engagement.

Yeah, last night it didn't...

Didn't seem like Nicole knew that much.

Doctor Rosen is just trying to help her adjust to all the changes in her life as gradually as possible.

But, she knows now.

Everything?

The wedding dress in the closet was a pretty big giveaway.

But, hey...

Look, we talked for a while.

She says that she wants me to be happy.

I am sorry.

I have been such a crappy fiancé.

But I, I hope you realize that with her being here, her being alive it doesn't change a thing about how I feel about you.

She'll be gone in a few hours and we can go back to being us again.

I promise.

- Okay.

- I love you.

I love you, too.

A finger?

Someone sent you a finger.

- Are you sure that it's...

- Archer Dunhill's, yes.

The prints were a match.

Do you have any idea who sent it or why?

It seems like some sort of taunt or a game.

This morning our forensics' team confirmed that the finger was detached from tissue that have been decomposing for some time.

Possibly around the time that Archer Dunhill disappeared in the first place.

We're now treating this case as a homicide.

I know that this is difficult...

But I do hope that we can count on your help with this investigation.

Anything that you can tell us about anyone that might have had a motive or held a grudge.

It could help us out significantly.

He was a con artist who treated dozens of mental patients without any actual medical training.

Yeah.

I know a few people who might hold a grudge.

Including you.

I'm not upset that he's gone if that's what you're asking.

What about Mary Drake?

You think she might be involved?

She's gone into hiding.

And after what you told us about her connection to Dunhill she's a person of interest in this case.

Guess you can't be too sure about anyone these days.

No you can't.

[intense music]

- This isn't happening.

- Yes, is is.

No, A.D. doesn't get to poison Caleb bankrupt Lucas' company, ruin my reputation and then expose us for m*rder all in one go.

No.

- Hanna.

- What?

Where are the rules for this stupid game anyways?

Every time we fail a turn, the cops get of a piece of Archer?

What's next, his knee caps or his ear lobes?

Or the video of you two digging up the grave.

We already know that A.D. has that.

(Emily)

Is this punishment for Charlotte?

We didn't find her k*ller and now A.D.'s gonna help the cops find us?

[bell ringing]

[machine whirring]

(Alison)

My turn.

Mystery location.

Great.

"Solve the puzzle, get away with m*rder."

"Or fail and go directly to jail."

Alright, so we continue playing the game or the cops find out what we did.

- Didn't we already know that?

- Yeah, but now it's a race.

We have to solve this puzzle before the cops can solve Dunhill's m*rder.

Furey already suspects that Archer was k*lled the night he disappeared.

He's gonna find out the truth.

No one can screw up her turn.

Not anymore.

If the cops get one more clue about what we did...

It's game over.

Uh...

Alright, so when did you decide to start sleeping with the guy who can one day arrest us all?

I didn't decide.

I was upset about Toby and Yvonne and Marco came over.

- He's nice.

- No.

I have no issue with his personality, just his job.

Yeah, well, so do I.

Oh, got it.

How is Toby?

Have you talked to him?

Uh, no, I left him a message but he hasn't called me back.

Hey, are you ready to go?

I wanna leave before my dad gets home.

"Private investigator." Did Marco give you this?

Uh, no, I swiped that from my dad's briefcase.

He's looking for Mary.

- Did she have any leads?

- I don't know.

- We should find out.

- No, we shouldn't.

Spencer, Mary was in the blind school when you got sh*t.

She could have seen the second sh**t maybe she saw A.D. and that's why she ran away.

Or she ran away because once she told me that she was my birth mother, she realized that it was a colossal mistake and then she never wanted to see me again.

No, Spencer, that's crazy.

Well, crazy runs in my family.

Look, I wanna find her, believe me I do.

I just, I have so many questions I wouldn't even know where to start.

How about why'd you run away?

[dialing keypad]

[phone ringing]

Hi, Miss Harper.

I'm calling from Mr.

Hastings office.

Whoa.

- What happened?

- Um...

Nicole found the book.

And she threw it at you?

No, at her parents...

When they came to take her back.

[instrumental music]

Did Nicole write this?

"This memory of us kept me alive.

I can't tell you how many nights I thought about you and our love, and I knew that I had to be strong.

I..."

[music continues]

Great job today, guys.

Get some rest, okay?

See you tomorrow.

[door closing]

- Hey.

- Hey.

You're here late.

I had a call with the head coach in Iowa.

Thought I'd use my office.

Oh.

Really leaving?

They want a decision by tomorrow.

When you showed up here in Rosewood, I...

Really thought we're gonna get another chance at this.

At us.

So did I.

But coming back here was a mistake.

Doesn't have to be.

I thought I was over high school.

But it's really hard to be over a place when you're smack dab in it and it feels like so much hasn't changed.

You and Allie are still keeping secrets.

I told you, it's not what you think it is.

Maybe not.

But when I see you two whispering in the hallway it takes me right back to high school too.

To feeling small and insecure and paranoid.

And I don't want to feel those things anymore.

- You don't have to.

- I know I don't.

I can just go somewhere else.

Goodnight.

(Alison)

It's latitude and longitude.

It must lead to the mystery location.

[cellphone beeping]

When are you going?

I'll come with you.

After school.

[sighs]

Are you okay?

You look a little...

Yeah, my stomach's just been kind of weird lately.

So where's Ezra now?

[sighs]

He's at home.

He's talking to Nicole's therapist.

Apparently she had a set back because of the book.

I just...

Had to get out of there.

(Alison)

Well, first of all, Nicole isn't having a setback because of the book.

She's having a setback 'cause she was held c*ptive in a jungle for two years.

Yeah, well, the book didn't help.

And I'm the idiot who convinced him to write it.

I-I gotta run.

Allie?

[device beeping]

[device ringing]

[dramatic music]

(male # )

Jessica DiLaurentis kept excellent records.

If Ezra knew what was in your file he would definitely choose Nicole.

And she would be visiting him in jail.

[intense music]

[glass shatters]

[panting]

(Spencer)

Come on.

This is the last house on the street.

I know my dad's detective thinks that Mary's hiding out somewhere in this neighborhood but that doesn't mean you get to terrorize the residents.

You made that old man cry.

Hey, well that old man could have been harboring a dangerous criminal.

Or an innocent women who just gotten mixed up in something.

Spencer, Mary knows something, that's why she disappeared.

Okay, I just need to remind you I'm looking for my birth mother.

Please if I wanted to go on a witch-hunt I would have gone on this trip with my dad.

You're right.

No more pitchforks, I promise.

- Hanna?

- Ted?

What are you doing here?

[indistinct chattering]

What are you doing?

- I'm sorry, I-I just...

- You just what?

[bell ringing]

You're right she looks just like Alison's mom but no, I haven't seen her.

Are you sure?

Maybe at a neighbor's house or...

No, sorry.

I guess we wrote down the wrong address.

I'm glad you did.

I can't tell you how great it is to see you.

Tell me what you've been up to, I heard you're in New York working for some big time designer and you got engaged?

Well, that didn't really work out.

Both the engagement and New York thing.

Well, you'll figure it out, you're resilient beyond measure, both of you.

We can sit down a minute, I could bring out some tea.

Uh, we really can't stay, I'm so sorry.

Um, do you still have the same e-mail?

I'm still Hotmail.

Don't judge I'm old.

Well I'll send you my contact we should get coffee at the Bradley.

I can bring my mom.

That'd be wonderful.

Well, it's good to see you.

It's great to see you, Hanna.

- Bye, Spencer.

- Bye.

And... let me know if you see Mary, okay?

The cops are looking for her and... she could be dangerous.

What did you tell them?

Nothing, just like you asked.

I need to know why you're really here, Mary?

Six locations and counting, we could be at this all night.

I wouldn't put it past A.D.

[phone beeping]

- What?

- Are they coordinates?

No, just duck sounds.

We're supposed to find a pond or something?

Darling Duck, that's gotta be it.

I wonder why A.D. wants you to go in a baby clothes store?

Come on, we need to find that puzzle piece.

[phone ringing]

Uh...

It's-it's Ezra, I 'll be right there.

Someone moved your piece off the game board.

Do you want to lose?

I don't wanna lose, I want out.

[indistinct chattering]

_ [phone beeps]

[dramatic music]

Alison?

Hi, it's Julie, we spoke on the phone.

Right, hi.

I was worried you wouldn't make it before closing.

Okay, so here's your scanner just point it at the bar code of the item that you want and voilà, it goes on your registry.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Alright.

[phone ringing]

[beeping]

- Is this your first?

- It is.

- I'm so excited.

- Boy or girl?

I want to keep it a surprise, you know?

- What about you, a girl?

- No.

(female # )

It's great.

Rosewood isn't all that bad, you know?

You're gonna miss the pizza.

I might.

I told Iowa I needed a little more time to decide.

Really?

You're reconsidering?

What changed?

I remembered something.

I'm not the only one with demons.

And not facing mine...

That'd be a lot like high school too.

This decision was a lot easier when the world seemed black and white.

Well, we can always race for it like we did back in college.

[chuckles]

Hey, don't knock it.

We made a lot of big decisions that way.

Yeah, like should we have pizza for dinner or pad Thai?

English major or biology?

Dorm or off campus apartment?

- You regretted that one.

- Yup.

Let's do it.

Let's race for it.

Paige, I'm not racing to decide your future.

- I mean, this is your life.

- I know it is.

And I don't know how else to decide.

I'm serious.

Apple Rose is the finish.

I win I go to Iowa, you win I stay.

You're insane.

You're just afraid you're gonna lose.

My bum shoulder can b*at your bum knee any day of the week.

Get ready, go.

Hey, wait up.

It's not a fair start.

♪ My clown let me love you ♪

♪ What's that ♪

♪ Back to the back of the rebound ♪

♪ Clown hang around ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

Paige?

Actually I've already decided.

♪ Hey boy won't you take me... ♪

I'm staying.

[doll chimes]

How did it go?

- Fine.

- Oh, wait.

Don't forget, the item you asked us to put on hold.

For the donor.

What?

What did you say?

You asked us to put this on hold for the egg donor.

We personalized it and everything.

(Emily) You're donating your eggs.



- When is this happening?

- Today.

They're my eggs and I made the decision.

I wanna help someone to start a family if I can.

They're my eggs and I...

They're my eggs and I made the decision.

My eggs. My eggs.

They're my eggs and I made the decision.

Are you okay?

- Do you need to sit down?

- Where is it?

What, what are you looking for?

The puzzle piece.

They must have told you to put it somewhere.

- I'm not sure.

- I need it.

Okay, I need that damn puzzle piece.

I'm sorry, I don't know what piece you're talking about.

(Emily) You're donating your eggs.

My eggs and I made the decision.

They're my eggs and I made the decision.

[intense music]

(woman on speaker)

You have arrived at your destination.

[instrumental music]

- Are you...?

- A.D.?

[dramatic music]

You sh*t Spencer.

You helped Jenna escape.

- You made up the game?

- Correct.

I barely know you, Sydney, why are you doing this?

If this has anything to do with Jenna...

- It doesn't.

- Why now?

Why are you letting me see who you are?

Because you're desperate and I can use desperate.

You said you want out of the game?

Yes, the game.

- All of it.

- And what about your friends?

- What about them?

- Do they know you're here?

- No.

- Good.

[phone ringing]

Let's take the scenic route.

Is beer alright?

Uh, sure, anything.

I was hoping to hear from you soon, but I didn't expect today.

- This place is...

- Not mine.

It's a friend's.

I mean the mess is mine but all the nice stuff is on loan.

Are you okay?

I lied to you today.

About Mary.

I have seen her.

In fact she spent the last two nights on my sofa.

Drink?

No.

So what happens next?

How do I get out?

There is no out.

But you could change sides, be a part of the winning team.

You want me to join you in torturing my friends?

You and whoever's on the other end of that ear piece.

No, never.

I wouldn't do that.

Leaving Allie and coming here was an important step toward earning A.D.'s trust but you still have a long way to go and a decision to make.

[tires screeching]

Here is where we leave you.

(Aria)

Why are you doing this?

You, Sydney, why are you doing this?

Because it's no fun being on the losing team.

[instrumental music]

I knew Mary when I was in college.

I was a senior and she was... a free spirit.

We dated for a while and...

And she just disappeared.

Why didn't you tell us about this before?

Because I'd already promised Mary I wouldn't tell anyone she was staying with me.

I was trying to keep my word to an old friend.

I mean that was before.

Before what?

After your visit...

I asked Mary why she really came to see me after all this time?

She told me we had a child together.

Charlotte?

Yeah.

Only I knew her as Charles.

Fifteen years ago, I ran a camp for troubled boys and Charles was one of my campers.

He was...

soft-spoken, sweet.

Way smarter than all the other kids.

I had no idea...

That she was your child.

The other boy in this photo, do you know his name?

That was Charles' only friend.

He was...

Luke or Lucas maybe.

- Lucas Gottesman?

- You know him?

You're sitting on his couch.

[sighs]

What did A.D. make you do?

Allison?

What did you have to do to get the puzzle piece?

Find out the truth about the baby...

Or at least I think it's the truth.

It's not mine, Emily.

It's yours.

What are you talkin' about?

They're your eggs.

The ones you donated.

You were right.

A.D. stole them.

They must have been planning this for a really long time.

Allie...

Just because A.D. said so...

That doesn't mean that it's true.

I remember the procedure, Em.

They wheeled me out of my room at Welby.

It wasn't Archer, it was someone else.

They strapped me down.

I tried to stay to awake.

I tried to fight it, but it was no use.

[intense music]

Dad.

God, you scared me.

I've been waiting for you for hours.

I was worried sick.

- Well I was just...

- Looking for Mary.

I know.

I spoke with my investigator.

I figured out the rest.

- What were you thinking?

- That I needed to talk to her.

That I have questions and they need answers.

Mary is dangerous, Spencer.

- She cannot be trusted.

- Oh, and you can?

Do you hear yourself?

You've been lying to me for my entire life literally from day one!

There are things about this woman that you just don't understand.

Then tell me.

Try being honest for once in your life.

Or I'm gonna walk out that door and I won't come back.

Okay.

The last time I saw Mary was when you came back from rehab.

[dramatic music]

(Ms. Hastings) Spencer?

Spencer.

Are you okay?

[music continues]

Jessica, what are you doing here?

What the hell are you doing in my house in the middle of the night?

I had to see her.

It was just one look.

She's beautiful, isn't she, Peter?

Our daughter.

Mary?

She wanted to see me?

No, Spencer.

She wanted revenge.

[music continues]

Mary was unhinged to say the least.

Jessica told her that Charles was dead.

Somehow she found out that wasn't true.

That Charles was Charlotte and alive.

She couldn't believe Jessica lied to her like that.

She wanted her to pay, she wanted her dead.

And when I refused to help she turned on me too.

Mary k*lled her sister.

She used my pills to do it and she buried her in our backyard.

She k*lled Jessica and did everything she could to frame me for it.

Are you sure?

I mean, they were sisters.

Twins.

Now, do you understand why I don't want you to find her why I want to keep her away from this family?

You knew about Charlotte before the doll house?

I'll be damned if I ever let something like that happen to you again.

Now, you can hate me, Spencer, I can live with that.

But please, please, let me protect you.

[phone ringing]

(woman on phone)

Woman's wellness center.

How can I help you?

I want to cancel my appointment.

I just...

We...

Need some more time to figure things out.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

Do you need anything?

Tea?

- No.

- Em?

Hey, guys, sorry I'm late.

What's going on?

Where were you?

We were calling.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I was helping Ezra with Nicole.

Did something happen?

Yeah.

Something happened.

For starters, you left Allie.

You just abandoned her when she needed you.

Allie, I'm sorry.

- Are you okay?

- No, no.

She's not okay.

- I'm not okay.

No one's okay.

- Em, she doesn't know.

I don't know what?

That A.D. stopped playing games and started playing God.

A.D. stole Emily's eggs from the donation bank fertilized them and then used them to impregnate Allie.

- What?

- God, it still sounds crazy.

Guys...

Um, I don't know what to say.

No one can imagine how violated and confused you both must feel right now but Aria's turn is up next and who knows what A.D.'s gonna do to her.

We need each other.

We cannot let this game rip us apart no matter what.

No.

- No, no.

That's a mistake.

- That's not right.

I'm not playing, I just-I just went.

No.

It's Aria's turn.

It's supposed to land on Aria.

I know, I...

I don't know what happened.

Maybe you get a do over because you didn't get your piece.

Do over?

It just wrecked my life!

- Han, it's gonna be okay.

- No, it's not!

- Oh, God!

I can't do this.

- It's broken.

The game's gotta be broken.

It's not broken.

It knows exactly what it's doing.
