Peter: "-- I'm calling my lawyer! I'm calling my family of lawyers!"They drag ol' CeCe, lookin' rough, past Jessica while Gabe updates her on the strangeness of today. Those ladies share quite a look! I feel like one day we are going to look at the weird triangulating with CeCe and Jessica and Alison in a whole different way than we already do. It's a magnetic, strange dynamic but I don't think we know all about it yet. I just really like to think about that time Jessica was like, "I don't mean they sometimes traded clothes, I mean they traded souls."
Gabe: "So the good news is your daughter is alive. The bad news is, where is she?"
Random: "The car is in Philadelphia."
Gabe: "Good, let's call the police there. Get them on the phone!"
Peter: "Hey, Jessica. Weird seeing you here at this police station. Hey, do we still have an 'understanding' that you won't be talking any shit about Spencer?"
Jessica: "Mostly I'm just surprised that my daughter is alive, for reasons that will become very clear in a minute. Also maybe I am not that surprised. Either way, who cares about your stupid child?"
Melissa: "Dad! Toby Cavanaugh told me that Spencer relapsed and I flew directly home. I know, it shocked me too that I would do that."
Peter: "They have us all in separate rooms like we are conspirators. I guess I didn't cover up her murders well enough. I burned every lacrosse stick with rat blood on it that I could find. Every day I yelled at her to stay out of my stuff. What else can a man do."
SPENCER
Spencer: "I don't remember killing a girl, but I do remember being very fucked up on drugs. And fabricating a bunch of nonsense memories once I started detoxing."
Alison: "You're a bit of a confabulist. So yeah, I kept on you about breaking up Ian and Melissa because I thought he actually liked me..."
Spencer: "And we fought in the kitchen, and then what? I came hard, I remember that."
Alison: "You always do. This time it was like you bottled up every fight and exploded at once. It was freaky for sure! And I thought maybe you were A still. I didn't even care about Melissa or Ian at that point in the night, but you were just very focused on this idea, like you were on a Study Aid drug."
Then Spencer chased her ass into the yard and came at her with a shovel, and that's how Alison died! Just kidding. Alison shivered and realized Spencer had it in her to commit a shovel murder, but she held her ground -- "You're way out of your league, Spencer. Why don't you put that thing down before you hurt yourself?" -- and they tussled. Out popped Spencer's little helpers, and Alison shifted into afterschool mode, promising to help her kick the habit and keep the secret and not tell everybody about her junkie secrets. It was a very sweet moment, actually, that Spencer is not remembering. Anyway, she sent Spencer back to the barn to sleep off her drug cocktail and went to her next appointment.
