RAVENSWOOD
Jenna's old-person car comes peeling out of Mona's driveway, and so Toby is now also on the hunt. Everybody's going to Ravenswood! You can actually see the colors fading from the world as we flip into Ravenswood vision.
Spencer: "So Shana is driving Jenna's car, but she's alone."
Hanna: "Then where the hell is Mona?"
Emily: "Uh, clearly Ravenswood, where we are. Keep your peepers peeled."
Spencer: "As it turns out Shana is leading Toby past the exit to Ravenswood."
Aria: "What on Earth lies past Ravenswood? Dragons. There be dragons."
Spencer: "I don't have time to worry about it. I'm just glad phones work in this universe."
Aria: "Or like Oz. Like a shitty, creepy Oz."
The Great Charlemagne puts on his show in that one park where it all goes down, and the Liars stare at the many character actors of Ravenswood, who are crazy looking down to every single one of them. One stares at Hanna, and The Grunwald is there... and then the Great Charlemagne points one horrible clown finger at Aria, and won't give up for anything. He has a black heart on one white cheek and a black dot on the other, and very soulful eyes.
Aria: "Me? No. I don't do boxes. Take Spencer, she loves magic."
TGC, in mime: "Non."
Spencer: "Just do it. You'll be fine."
The Grunwald: "Oh for Chrissake."
Aria steps into the box, and he locks it, waving his steam punk arms around, and Aria's gone. Hanna thinks it's real, of course, and Spencer tells her to chill, and then when he opens the box she's back. Hanna's like, "That was amazing!"
He offers Aria a rose, but it's a joke rose, and then he gives her a real one. The music is insane at this time... And that's when they realize Emily's gone.
A: "Leger de main. Kisses, bitches! -- A"
Spencer: "Before you ask, Hanna, it means sleight-of-hand. While we were watching absolutely nothing happen to Aria -- like every week -- something terrible was happening to Emily. Also like every week."
(Then there is a long teaser for Ravenswood, which looks more and more freakin' amazing every time they release one.)
Emily: "Hello? I'm in a coffin."
Aria: "Are you okay?"
Emily: "No. I am in a fucking coffin."
Aria: "Well, hell. This entire town is a cemetery, so."
