Hanna, looking Flashdance-fly: "What did you talk about? Was it okay?"
Caleb, weeping with relief: "We didn't get into the abandonment stuff but she said my voice sounds like my father's. And she wants me to come to Cali. Um, tonight."
Hanna: "Well, unlike the last several times this came up, I'm actually okay with this."
They blow it out the box. I don't know if we'll ever see Caleb again, but if not he made this shit count. They both did. Well done. She tells him she loves him, they kiss and cry, she falls to pieces when he's gone, and it's just... Fucking excellent. This episode is a quantum leap. You know how much I love this show -- for the WTF usually, and the style, and also often the emotions -- but damn if it isn't just firing on every single cylinder this week.
DANGER!
Jason: "Aria, why are you walking alone through the streets?"
Aria: "I need to find a vending machine because that's what I eat now. Also, my house just got unbearably upsetting."
Jason: "I was just driving around looking to kill little girls. Somebody broke into my creepy-ass shed today. With a key, I mean. They didn't literally break in."
Jenna, creeping: "If those two hook up and she makes him remember that night..."
Garrett: "He won't!"
Jenna: "You're so fucking useless. I can't wait until I replace you with real eyes."
(Still no clue.)
Emily & Spencer: "We better find Aria before Jason kills her."
Aria: "You'd better kill me before my friends warn me."
Jason: "I'd better tell you that I am into you before your friends tell you I'm stalking you."
Aria: "Yep, I'm ignoring their calls as we speak. You better kiss me."
Jason: (Does.)
Aria: "Wait, I have a boyfriend."
(Jason stares at her leaving and probably is taking scary mental pictures of it.)
Hanna pulls her shit together and calls her dad about the bridesmaid fitting, because when push comes to shove you know she's going to do the classy thing. At least nowadays.
Spencer drags Emily back to the Shed, because when push comes to shove you know she's going to do the nuttiest thing. On the other hand, Aria might well be tied up in there. But no, it's just the darkroom lightbulb and their flashlight standing there in plain sight so they know that he knows that they know and EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS AND IT'S SO SCARY!
