Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 60 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT The Smartest Guy In The Room
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 17 | Aired on 01.28.2014
Guidance Jesse strolls in, barely sparing her a glance off his bland smiling face, which of course draws her like the moth to the flame. What the fuck is he even doing walking in here like that if he's not immediately going to provide a pretext for Aria Montgomery to do something fascinating? She must know more.
DENTAL
Gypsy is kind of irritated when she returns and Hanna is secretly hiding in the fileroom, but mostly she's just happy to lock up and go: She calls out to the dentist that Hanna Marin couldn't wait, and bounces. So now Hanna is all alone in a closet in an empty dentist's office, in a lovely blue suit that's all coordinated and grownup looking, sun's going down, no idea that the doctor is never, ever coming.
BREW
Angry at her phone for not fulfilling its primary function of making Ezra call her and tell her she is the best, Aria's more than happy to see Jesse's helpful eyes finally seize on her, hungry to guide and to counsel.
Jesse: "So where are you at, as far as joining our support group for terrorists?"
Aria: "Still a nope. Okay, here's the deal. I know how and where I am messed up. And I am working on it. An angry angel literally haunts me, forcing me to grow up and learn to take care of myself and be strong. Right now, I'm a little too angry for..."
Jesse: "...Roller derby?"
Aria: "Ugh, no. Have you ever met those girls?"
Jesse: "Uh, I dunno. Pottery? The 'Spring Play'?"
Aria: "No. I just need to solve a murder that never happened and then I can relax and go back to just doing me."
Jessie: "Okay, well. Keep me in mind for when that goes down in flames."
Aria: "I know, right? I will. Thank you."
She is very respectfully grateful, in this moment, to Jesse: She wants him to stay in the "I'm worried about my brother" box, because to give up control would be to lose control, but the fact that he's going this far with it is a very compassionate thing, and she appreciates that. Nearly sits down, as a matter of fact. But one of the things about her obnoxious denial that I always liked is, it comes from a very pure place:
If you stop moving, you'll fall apart. So you don't stop moving. Why do you think she's in such a hurry to grow up?
Why do you think Alison was?
DENTAL
Hanna settles down into the chair, schedule records safely in her purse, and then before you know it she's getting gassed by A! And then a needle goes in her lip, in the inside of her bottom lip! Is this what they do to you when you're passed out?
