Episode Report Card Angel Cohn: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Crash and Burn
By Angel Cohn | Season 1 | Episode 7 | Aired on 07.20.2010
Back at school, (where you'd think Spencer would be, no?) Sean asks Aria if she got the flowers. She's all pissed off because she thinks that they send a "screw you" message to Hanna. He says he didn't mean to, but he kind of did, because he was mad that she bailed on him. Aria says that Hanna loves him and hasn't talked about another guy since the seventh grad. Just then, a fight breaks out between mostly-forgotten Mike and some other guy. She tries to break it up, and he shoves her away. Sean tries to defend her honor, but she says it is OK.
In the yearbook office, Lucas and Hanna are giggling over a cat playing ping pong video that they found on the web. She's apparently never discovered animal videos before, and he cracks that these people have more free time than he has... which is a lot. So he goes to pull up a video of a turkey on a snowboard and accidentally grazes her finger tips in the process. He apologizes, and she doesn't understand why. He says that he didn't mean to "invade her personal skin." God, I love this little nerd. She jokes that the leprosy cleared up. He tells her that he was really afraid of her, or girls like her... "Alison's coven." She says they weren't witches, and he says that Alison was just straight-up evil. He didn't like her because she called him "Hermy the hermaphrodite for three years," because she didn't like his glasses. Hanna jokes that his shoes weren't that great either. He looks horrified, and then she explains that Alison called her Hefty Hanna. He doesn't understand why they were friends. She claims that Alison did have a nice side and could make people feel special... if she wanted to.
In the kitchen, Spencer is looking for something and finds a cabinet that has pictures of the members with mean notes or, in Spencer's case, devil horns drawn on them. Alex says that it is something the staff does to blow off steam when a staffer is rude to them. Spencer looks hurt that she made the wall of shame, Alex says that he'd never seen her picture before. She turns to leave and he says that people judge, no matter if they are low or high class. Just look at Melissa. Spencer still leaves.
Emily goes into the music room after class to talk to Maya. Em says that she wanted to warn Maya that their kissing photo will likely be seen by a lot of people. Maya's not losing sleep over it. Emily says she is done losing sleep, too... she misses Maya and wants to make it work. Maya wants to know why she should trust her, and Emily insists that she's trying to be honest with herself.
