CAVANAUGH PLACE
Even the cobwebs have cobwebs on that motherfucker. Even the ghosts are like, "Did you hear something upstairs? This place gives me the willies." The front porch is just like splintered boards and rusty nails dripping with lockjaw. The lace curtains form faces in a silent, ever-changing agony. The porch swing moves of its own accord; a flute can be heard playing blind-girl songs, somewhere across the way. One hundred snow globes in a room choked with dust whir to carillion life, a hundred dolls slowly turn their heads to look at the door...
Emily: "-- Whew, I am so glad Toby's truck randomly just drove up at this exact second. I did not wanna go in there. It still smells like burnt blind girl."
Dude: "I am not Toby. I am a surprise person."
Emily: "Do you know where Toby is?"
Dude: "No, only his truck. He gave it to me to finish a job. It is doing woodworking in the middle of the night at a strange place."
Emily: "Can you give me any other information?"
Dude: "Not at this time."
Disappointed, the dolls begin to sing. A threnody of hunger, unfulfilled. Emily does not hear them, for she is on the case. Sometimes I wonder if Jenna and Toby ever had parents. Unsettling and grisly, or deliriously awesome?
FIELDS
While Ashley checks in with Hanna -- no news about the manslaughter they're fully covering up -- Spencer obsesses on the wreath, noticing that two of the letters on the sash's embossed greeting are not shiny. Those letters? E M. E is for Emily! M is also for Emily!
Spencer: "I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED IT!"
Emily: "You are getting so Homeland, honey."
Spencer: "IT IS A SIGN FROM MONA! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!"
Emily: "I am being awfully blasé this episode."
Spencer: "SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU IF I DID A THING. THEN I DID THAT THING. THEN SHE CAME TO THE COFFEE SHOP AND SAID SHE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU. IN FRONT OF YOU SHE SAID THIS. ALSO SHE LEFT THIS THING WITH YOUR NAME ON IT AND A NOTE SAYING SHE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU. WHAT THE HELL?"
Emily: "Yeah, it's just not quite addin' up for me. I gotta go to swim practice, Spence."
Spencer: "CAN I COME? CAN I GO EVERYWHERE WITH YOU TODAY?"
Emily: "No, girl. You take a nap. I promise not to go looking for Toby in the meantime, spoiler alert that was a lie, and in return you need to give me this sash because you are going full Gollum right now."
