By Jacob Clifton | Season 2 | Episode 11 | Aired on 08.23.2011
Next week: Summer Finale! A sends the Liars a box of scary dolls that look like them. Hanna starts an art project of photographing naked dudes on horses, but all the dudes are creepers and Noel Kahn never even shows up, and all the dudes are actually members of Kate's country club, so they start a riot that's embarrassing for everybody and totally disrupts the wedding and Regina's not even there to regulate. Mike finally explains like one thing about what is going on with him, but surprisingly it's just that his brain chemistry is all fucked up and Byron was right the whole time, but Aria's lost interest in that storyline so she just grabs some grocery sacks and heads over to Ezra's for a good old-fashioned hand-holding.
Spencer and Toby go on a search for Therapy Anne that ends in Antarctica, where the black oil aliens are using bees to create supersoldiers or something and the first one was Jason's vanished sister Alison. Emily accidentally dresses up like it's prom and then dies in some kind of garage and the other girls all have to dig her up out of the ground, but then Spencer's dad gets paranoid and throws her in the fireplace to hide the evidence and the whole time Emily's like "I am totally not evidence!" but he doesn't care because the DiLaurentises have something massive on him, which is that Maya is actually Spencer's mother.
