Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 66 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Piste Off, Or: The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 20 | Aired on 02.18.2014
Toby: "As if I understand anything you're ever talking about. Have at it."The funniest Adderall thing I ever heard was on Tumblr, or Twitter or something, this person was like, "I had to write this paper so I thought I'd just play Candy Crush for a minute waiting for my Adderall to kick in. That was over forty years ago."
THE QUAD
Hanna tries to scam Emily's string cheese, because string cheese is the best. Emily tries to be New Hardass Emily and not give her the string cheese, but it's Hanna! Give her your string cheese already.
Liars: "It is so hard hiding from Aria. You would think that since she's keeping Ezra a secret she wouldn't be on our jocks so hard, because what else is there to talk about. I guess we're friends after all."
Emily: "I thought you only got hungry when you were sad."
Hanna: "Being nervous makes me sad."
Emily: "Good thing we're hiding from Aria here in public in the middle of the school where everybody eats lunch in every episode. She'll never think to..."
Aria: "...Hey, there you are. Are you hiding anything from me like if my secret boyfriend is a killer of girls?"
Liars: "No! We've been too busy looking all over for you/avoiding your texts."
Aria: "Listen, where's Spencer? The one person I am not allowed to talk to today?"
Liars: "Nobody knows. Probably still making strange conspiracy theories about things she made up in her head like usual, only harder and faster."
Aria: "Yeah, can we talk about that?"
Liars: "That is precisely what we cannot talk about."
Aria: "Because look at her private medical information. It says here that Spencer was fugued out the entire year Alison died*, due to being on drugs."
*(The phrase everybody uses is "two years ago," but if you expect me to double-check that shit you clearly do not understand my priorities. The timeline of this show or what year it is on this show is not of interest to me; sell me some Study Aid and we'll see, Brenda, but that's literally the only way I would be interested in figuring that crap out.)
TOBY SMELLING YOU
Toby: "So I can't get you eat, sleep or fuck? What can I do? Just smell you?"
He does, bless his heart. It is so weird. Spencer consents to the smelling, because that's what she's capable of giving him today. She agrees to his date-night idea, in a very distracted way that any normal person would understand is a blow-off, but since Toby Cavanaugh is a person with no friends and a very demanding teen job -- and whose entire life is a Tennessee Williams play that takes place in a cobwebbed darkness -- I get why he thinks they actually have a date.
