Wren: "I don't believe that you actually killed him."(Spooky staring.)
Wren: "Fine, get your shit together and we'll try again when you're feeling honest."
Mona: "I do not trust you. You have secrets too, Doc. Also, I was reading your handwriting upside down and backwards from across the room, like lip reading but with magic genius powers."
Wren: "The only secret here is that you're not taking your meds. Later."
THE BREW
Toby's back, walkin' swag and ready for home -- but that sheet music from last week is sitting on the stairs, with an A note reading, "Leave the Lamb alone and go for the lion. Kisses, A." Which what does that mean? Eddie Lamb? In the context of the Radley piano maybe that starts to make sense? Luckily, Toby never met an expositional moment less than halfway, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Or Spencer will read the post-it and be like, "Clearly this is about some wasp nest outside of town I saw once five years ago, get your shit and let's go."
THE SHRINE
Emily: "Holy shit! I can't do this. I cannot do this. It is literally her room. It is a Matrix simulacrum of her room."
Spencer: "You know, a hundred years ago bereaved parents would pose their dead kids for lifelike photos. And little boys wore dresses, and everybody died very young! Think about that!"
Emily: "Bitch this ain't Ravenswood. You cut that shit out."
Spencer: "Well, I'm sure as hell not sticking around. Can Pam come over? Or Paige?"
Emily: "Pam's getting court martialed or whatever, and Paige and I are breaking slowly up."
Jessica: "BUT I AM HERE, GIRLFRIEND! HOPPED UP ON PILLS!"
She explains that the furnace is acting up so it's chilly -- what is it now, I think like November in their world based on the Halloween Train? -- and offers them some Nilla Wafers because she is regressing at the speed of light and will soon be trying to change Emily's diapers if she can catch her off-guard.
Jessica goes to the armoire to get hangers -- no wire ones! -- and of course it's full of dead Ali's clothes, which she should know because she put them in there. Recently. Like in the last week she took them back out of boxes and hung them on hangers. How does she not remember that? Emily and Spencer are like, "Cue shit show." But even scarier, Jessica zoooooooms right past it and pretends the clothes don't exist. Just like her daughter's problems: "It's like you never left! BYE!"
