MONA/EZRA
Mona is driving Jenna's time-portal car to somewhere when Emily appears in her rearview mirror like the righteous warrior she is this week, and Mona's like shhhhhit but lets her get in the car so they can talk about this storyline that we have known about in theory but never actually got to see happen.
Meanwhile, who is at Ezra's house is, Aria. She is there to lay some truth down. She is not going to be swayed or confused or distracted or anything. She is just going to look up in her English teacher's face and demand that he leave town and never return, just like he has done several times, occasionally with small children who are not actually his concern.
Mona: "Okay, I was helping with the book. This is ever since I bought the car, or the first episode back from break. I was trying to stop him, since a lot of shit I pulled when I was A is stuff I could go to jail for. Still. I said I would answer his questions, but he'd protect me in return."
Emily: "Tell me the clues! What about Alison and whatever?"
Mona: "If Alison were alive she'd love being the focus of a scandalous page-turner, I'm sure, but I never saw the whole thing."
Aria: "Ezra, I am here to tell you to fuck off."
Ezra: "Yes. If we are going to get past this, you need your space."
Aria: "You're not hearing me."
Ezra: "I am! I took a leave of absence and..."
Aria: "You need to get the fuck on up out of Rosewood, son. That's what I'm saying."
Ezra: "Sure, we can run away together if you want..."
Aria: "Do I need to repeat myself? With hitting? Or are you gonna act normal?"
Emily: "You dated Mikey, to spy on Aria for Ezra..."
Mona: "And just like Ezra himself, I fell for my mark. Ezra threatened me when I tried to protect the kid, so I knew it was too hot to keep him in my mess."
Emily: "What is the point of any of this?"
Mona: "Ezra knows who A is, possibly."
Emily: "You mean in addition to the fact that he let us all get abused, tortured, kidnapped, threatened, terrified and menaced, and never said anything or tried to help in any way?"
Ezra: "...Which is why I'm giving you this manuscript. If you read it, you will find out all kinds of things."
Aria: "Or you could just tell me since I'm standing right here, you pretentious fop."
