Mr. D: "Ugh."
Hanna: "I know that I added to your family's suffering in some way, and I take full responsibility. But I would never mess with that grave, either. All I want is for Alison to be at peace."
Mr. D: "That sets me off for some reason! A friend would never do what you did. At the time, it felt like a childish prank... Seems like you've gotten crueler with age."
...Or not. I guess we will not yet be finding out what happened. The first time through this episode I was like, "Holy shit, what massive thing do I not know? Have I been embarrassing myself this whole time with my incompetence? What did Hanna do?" I was relieved to learn that it wasn't me being crazy, but the show -- and even more relieved to confirm, as we will, that it was being crazy on purpose.
RADLEY
Mona's building a house of cards and talking in crazy talk -- or maybe is it a code? -- but whatever it is, Aria's every bit as frustrated by her nonsense as you'd expect.
Mona, verbatim: "You Need A Good Foundation. Start With A Good Foundation, And You Can Build Anything."
Aria: "Sorry Hanna couldn't make it."
Mona: Grrrrrrr.
Mona tells Nurse Lisa it's time for her medicine, and -- this was awesome -- estimates that Aria has about 25 seconds to cut to the gist, while she's gone.
Aria: "Okay the Ouija board planchette that Hanna buried with Alison turned up in her house today and it's not the first thing that showed up and I know you hate me and I'm not your biggest fan either because you were A for two seasons of this show but if you know anything about what's going on right now I would real..."
Time. And visiting hours are also over, so Nurse Lisa shuffles Mona off and Aria's just like, "If you love Mona like we both know you do, tell me who's hurting her this time?" No dice.
Mona: "It Isn't Me... Tell Hanna I'm Sorry."
EXT RADLEY
Aria: "You didn't have to come all the way here. I don't have anything to tell you anyway, that bitch is insane. Her visits are supervised... She just said to tell you she's sorry. I'm starting to wonder if she's even A-Team at this point. She seemed really sincere."
Hanna: "Even if she's not behind this latest thing, we both know she knows who is. Now, go home. I'm going to break into this mental institution now. I know my way around, there's a shift-change in twenty."
