MEANWHILE
Emily: "Fuck a buncha soothsayer..."
Aria: "Did you just say soothsayer? I kind of want to leave town after all that shit. I mean, first of all, we already had this happen in Brookhaven, where a creepy psychic turned out to be working for A, and I felt like a dick that time and I'm startin' to feel like a dick this time. Second of all, how could any of that shit be true? Spencer, back me up. Come on."
Spencer: "Okay, she was laying it on a bit thick. But it doesn't matter if it's objectively true, because this is still just hocus-pocus, close-up magic. You're not taking your skepticism far enough. It doesn't matter if we believe her, it matters that Alison believed her. This isn't about proving The Grunwald is a nutcase, it's about saving our asses, and maybe our friends."
Hanna: "I kind of believe her, and I also agree with Spencer."
Emily: "Yeah, plus her stated goal is to keep us from helping Gasmask find Alison, which means Ali will be at this thing. So like, what are you even getting weird about?"
Aria: "Kinda starting to wish I'd checked the sizing on those suits, actually. Fuck it. Let's get some old-timey clothes and crash this Ravenswood party."
BUT A MAN
Is watching them from the shadows, and once they're inside the old-timey clothes shop he heads away across the street... and then we see Ezra enter the A-Lair, which the girls have tossed pretty impressively, and slam the armoire door in a rage!
A-TAG
Over lots of retro wartime signage, a creepy old song plays in an unrecognizable room -- and Gasmask is suiting up. See you in 55 days for the big two-hour crossover!
