Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 95 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Neither Tarnished, Nor Afraid
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 19 | Aired on 02.11.2014
They continue to squabble, even as he starts saying all his brainwashing shit like usual.
"It's safe. You can come out now. I'll take care of you. I don't know what they've told you about me, but it's not true. I'll keep you safe Aria, I promise. I love you. No one has ever loved you the way I do..."
When Aria asks why she's supposed to be afraid, everybody looks at the floor, which enrages Alison. After all, what was the point if they're still this weak? And Aria eventually is so turned off by her attitude that she goes out to him, in her neat wool coat: "I think I liked you better when you were dead."
They watch her walk toward him, out of the frame, for the full hour it takes her to get there. When he pulls out a something they all clutch at each other, but it's just a lighter. And it's not Ezra, it's Toby, who has bested Ezra in a hand-to-hand while Aria was zombie-walking toward him in the fog. Toby ushers them all into the car, and by the time they're set, Ali has, of course, disappeared.
Aria stares out into the rain, Spencer acts super shifty because she's about to start asking questions, and eventually Emily has to admit that Ali was right, they're all being chumps by treating Aria this way just because they're scared to say reality.
Toby: "You figure it out yet? Because this car's just about out of gas."
Spencer: "Me too, bro. I am goddamn exhausted."
Hanna: "You're not alone in that one."
Emily: "Just figure it out already! Who cares who gets hurt at this point. Hurt ain't dead."
Toby, verbatim: "You're all the time talking about wanting the answer. Maybe you do, maybe you don't."
Aria: "Maybe you are afraid of getting the whole truth."
Toby: "She already has that."
Finally irritated by all this portentous nonsense (or maybe the on-the-nose huddle of insecurities they're all embodying means it's almost over) Spencer-Toby reminds her how easy it was to get the Diary back, and that the Devil doesn't give free samples. That's when the car crashes into oncoming lights, just as the gunfire's going off in the movie in the real world, and Spencer -- without much ado, honestly -- hustles over to the reclaimed Diary, and notices it's been dicked with. The pages on her phone are slightly different from the pages in the book now, rendering it useless/useful again in a whole other way.
