Ezra: "Black typewriters and cappuccinos. Paper-bag masquerades."Aria: "Croissants just because. Reading an actual newspaper with smug grins."

HASTINGS
Peter Hastings! Oh, I love you. We haven't seen him in so long.
Peter: "Hell makes you think I know where Jason is?"
Spencer: "Uh, because he is your bastard?"
Peter: "I won't tolerate snippiness, Spencer."
Spencer: "It's the only language we Hastingses know. Jessica won't tell us..."
Peter: "You drop that shit right now. No bothering that woman. Stay untangled from that family, you hear me? Your mother's a lawyer. We cannot piss her off, unless you want to be having this conversation with me in the boondocks."
Spencer: "Why does nobody appreciate how strongly I feel about my brother Jason?"
Peter: "Because it comes off like a huge lie, or like you're trying to solve a murder and don't actually care about him?"
Spencer: "Ugh, it's both. BOTH!"
Peter: "Fine, I will look into it. But you stay the hell away from Jessica DiLaurentis. That woman is a wildcard."
CAVANAUGH APT
While Hanna toys with that mysterious diary she swiped in Ravenswood -- and gets a response back from the Courtland Liars that she's just as ambivalent about -- Toby explains what he's been up to: In the visitor's log at Dr. Palmer's hospital, Toby cross-referenced no less than six former Radley co-workers, most of whom were willing to chat off the record: Turns out the fake-suicide was a known thing, covered up seemingly to protect the Radley corporate parent, a healthcare conglomerate called Declodyne.
Toby: "That's who pays their pensions, so they're very cagey about this."
Spencer: "First, why would an 'accident' be more damaging to a mental hospital than a patient committing suicide? The thing mental hospitals are about not happening? And why bribe a cop to do it?"
Toby: "Head of Legal's named Mainway, I can't get an appointment with her."
Spencer: "Why is everything always Radley?"
Toby: "Because this show is about secrets, and Radley is a mass grave of those. Wilden, Mona, CeCe..."
Spencer: "Me, of course."
Toby: "I mean, yeah. You know I don't really care about that aspect of it, I just want my mom's name cleared."
