Aria: "...This poem on this page is probably about a bed and breakfast I went to as a kid."
Liars: "Sure, that's probably it. You guys wanna go there after school for literally no more reasons than Aria free-associating?"
Liars: "Yes, but we have to make sure to lie to all of our loved ones about it first, so nobody knows where we are. Just in case/for no reason at all."

Emily gets a note from Alison (?) at work, and spaces out, and then runs to the Kissin' Rock so she can have a meeting with Alison and/or get murdered and/or have several sad lesbian wisdom montages.
You remember Kissin' Rock, don't ya? That ever-so-romantic spot in the woods where Alison videotaped herself getting choked out and fucked in the dirt that time? You know, Kissin' Rock!
...There ya go. I thought that might do it.
EZZZZZRIA
Aria: "Are you writing a story?"
Ezra: "Kind of. More like erotic fan fiction."
Aria: "How cool. Anyway, I'm going out of town for no reason and it is a secret why."
Ezra: "Will you tell me why?"
Aria: "No."
Ezra: "Okay, I have to grade papers anyway. Oh hey, remember when we boned last night?"
Aria: "Yeah. You would think I'd be more conflicted about that, but..."
Ezra: "I am going to get my ass soundly beat by Karate Jake next week, I think."
Aria: "Ooh, that's good. You should definitely put that in your story."
Ezra: "Do you... know the difference between fan fiction and your real life?"
Aria: "Come again?"
She leaves, and this is the video he was watching of Alison when Aria came in, and it's actually very interesting: "You still can't see who's threatening me? Look, I need to figure out where to go, I need to make a plan, some sort of escape, I don't know, a way to not be... Alison DiLaurentis anymore. Can you please help me?"
The "can't see" part makes me think this is a The Grunwald Tippi-phone conversation, although I guess Ali could be talking to a person with simple audio-visual talents and not, you know, the psychic nanny of a vampire on a short sabbatical to a sorority house, talking into a secret phone in a secret room nobody knows about except for a parrot. I'm open to alternate theories. But I wanna say it's The Grunwald. Ultimately though, I guess I want everything to be The Grunwald and I'm sure that will be the series finale. The whole time it was just Mona Vanderwaal vs. The Grunwald in an unending battle for the fate of the universe itself, not unlike the Spider and the Turtle in the Ritual of Chüd.
