HASTINGS THROWDOWN
Spencer: "Sodas for everybody! Popsicles for dinner! I wish food was pills, because it's futuristic! And because I simply love pills."
Aria: "Hey, I have a look of trepidation."
Spencer: "You motherfuckers already told her?"
Liars: "No! Now it is about something else."
Who's on First? This goes on for a while, where Spencer thinks it is an intervention for Aria, but only one of those things is true. By far the second-saddest thing about this is Aria Frigging Montgomery looking at her with pity and being right and being not the idiot we're all worried about. Like of all the people to make you feel rat-in-a-cage insane by being the Concerned Friend, Aria Montgomery is absolutely the worst scenario.
Hanna: "Look, are you a speed freak?"
Liars: "Wow. Well, it's out there. So are you? In a more sensitive phrasing, of course."
Aria: "This is an intervention. I have wanted my whole life to do this. When I finally wrest power of the school therapy group away from that amateur Jesse Lindall, I will be doing these pretty much constantly."
Spencer: "Yeah, it's an intervention. For you."
Aria: "Because of the way I dress?"
Everybody feels bad for Spencer, who is spinning out impressively as she feels the tables turning and can't figure out how. Watching herself from the outside slowly perform the craziness of a crazy person. Defeated by Incompleteness Theorem Two: A sane person doesn't need to keep reiterating how not crazy they are, because that makes you for sure crazy.
Liars: "We found out that you were a drug addict before this show started. Ezra helpfully told us, and gave us documentation of it."
Spencer: "Oh, now I get it."
Aria: "Get what? Guys, what is she talking about?"
Liars: "We're not there yet on the agenda. Bringing it up now just seems like deflecting."
Spencer: "I'm not deflecting! I am calling your attention to more urgent things!"
Liars: "Which is exactly what happens at this point in every intervention."
Spencer: "It's not like I was looking forward to breaking Aria's heart, quite the opposite. What I am interested in doing is stopping our murders. Can this not wait?"
Aria: "Guys, what? Hang on, what is this? I am not getting it."
