Jason: "Listen, can you be helpful in any way?"
Old: "No sir."
Jason: "Because our friend dropped something off here for us to find later. But we don't know what it is, and we don't know when she did it, and she's dead."
For a second I was really hoping that it was going to be like Return To Oz and all the things were people and they had to touch the right things and turn them into people. I don't remember which Oz book that was in but it was my favorite. I loved retail, and I loved the Royal Family of Ev, and that scene had both. Touch a green thing and say "Oz," boom. Touch a purple thing and say "Ev," boom. Touch a brass thing, say "Tiktok," maybe something happens. And so on. I probably, as a child, made a lot of antique store owners very nervous for this reason.
Anyway, Spencer sees an ankle bracelet on a mannequin's wrist, and instantly remembers this one time.
FLASHBACK
Alison: "Check me out, not being a bitch."
Spencer: "It's fun to just hang out with you with nobody else around because then we don't have to jockey for power or blind other girls."
Alison: "I got this ankle bracelet from a person but I refuse to say whom."
Spencer: "One of your many gentleman suitors?"
Alison: "No, just a friend."
Alison abruptly bounced.
Spencer: "Um, are we not hanging out right this second? Isn't that what's going on?"
Alison: "It was, now it's not. Rock and roll. I have to go out with a mysterious lady friend, or maybe the same one I was saying before, to get us fake IDs."
Spencer: "But that hurts my feelings!"
Alison: "Deal with it."
Spencer: "Oh, I'll deal with it all right."
APRIL ROSE
Spencer: "Hey, it's a random ankle bracelet. I can tell it was hers, though, because it was a charm bracelet. How many mannequins would have charms like a hockey stick covered in rat blood and a creepy guy with a video camera drinking milk and a snowglobe with a hidden compartment inside of a storage compartment and a bracelet that is a smaller charm bracelet where all the charms are bracelets, bracelets, bracelets?"
Jason: "When did this come to your store and can we buy it?"
Old: "I don't know, and no. Both for the same reason, which is that it's just randomly here."
Jason: "So then it's literally no skin off your ass, huh? That's a very nice bolo tie by the way."
