Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 66 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Piste Off, Or: The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 20 | Aired on 02.18.2014
Spencer: "You guys are right."Are they, though? I guess the point is that Spencer is something of an unreliable narrator at this point, so why open the door to an Aria fit. Why give even tacit approval for her to talk about Ezra Fitz. That's a magic lamp you can't unrub.
EZRA EZRA
Ezra: "Can we have a secret meeting right here in the hallway where everybody is?"
Aria: "Sure, is it about our love affair that will get you fired and in jail if we talk about it in public?"
Ezra: "In part it is. Also your friend is on drugs."
Aria: "That's just Spencer doing Spencer. A garbanzo bean in the wrong salad bin is enough to make her wig out."
Ezra: "Chickpeas again. Gold falafel. The clues are everywhere."
Ezra hands over Spencer's file, which details how there is an entire year of Spencer's life nobody can remember because she is an unrepentant drug addict, which includes the forgotten fact that she is a drug addict. You don't know what you don't know, I guess. Like how in Memento things happened in a certain way. Man, I kept falling asleep watching that movie and every time I woke up, it was like I was in the movie. "What's happening now?" Nobody knows, not even Mr. Memento.
Ezra: "Part of me thinks I shouldn't use my status as an authority figure to take the agency away of young ladies in my care. It's almost like taking advantage of my age and role."
Aria: "Wouldn't that be horrible if you did that? On the reg, I mean. But okay, I will take this person's private medical information and just roam around all day with it."
MEANWHILE
Toby: "Just dropped by during my busy teen workday to be cute and point out that you are wearing ice cream treat-printed scrubs and walking weird in orange culottes."
Spencer: "These are Hanna's clothes. They would presumably flatter her if she were wearing them, instead of how I look, which is Radley to the max."
Toby: "Are you mad at me for [whatever dead mom thing]?"
Spencer: "I could not care less about that. I mean yes, I am disappointed in you. But that's not why I'm avoiding you. Why that is, is, I am Speed Racer. A demon on wheels."
Toby: "Do you want to talk about it over a sandwich?"
Spencer: "I haven't eaten in three weeks and frankly the idea is disgusting to me because of drugs. But if you're interested I can lecture you on the French Papal succession."
