Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 66 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Piste Off, Or: The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 20 | Aired on 02.18.2014
Spencer: "I'm having dinner at Toby's place tonight."Veronica: "How'm I supposed to tell my tennis friends that?"
Spencer: "That I'm having dinner with my boyfriend? How is that unreasonable?"
Veronica: "Whatever. Get some sleep, you look like shit."
Spencer immediately calls Toby to voicemail-ditch him, using the classic cancellation property of sleepover math. I am sure this part is just a slice of life and will not have any plot consequences, though. Probably just another slick move we can add to all of Spencer's real good choices she's been making lately. Although can you imagine if she told him what was really up?
"Date night sounds super fun? Only can we convert that into a booty call later instead? Because I frankly would prefer visiting a zoo in a neighboring town."
EZRA
Aria: "So then I thought I should just lie to my friends, run directly to you, and tell you all about Spencer's suspicious behavior."
Ezra: "Best brain I ever washed. Make sure we really emphasize the fact that she would make wild accusations at that point in the confrontation narrative. I'm basically an expert, I was an RA in college. Sadly not in a Freshman dorm, so I didn't get a ton of tail."
Aria: "Some part of my submerged consciousness has realized I shouldn't actually tell you she called you A, on the off chance that saying this would cause you to murder me in this murder cabin where we come so nobody can hear you murder me."
Ezra: "I feel like there's something you're not telling me."
Ezra: "I think maybe it's time to tell the Hastingses. Or at least whichever one of them is on the show this week not 'being a lawyer.'"
Aria: "Tell one of my friends' parents that their child is in danger? What am I, a monster?"
Ezra: "I forgot that's how y'all roll."
Ezra: "Okay, but she sleep-drove. She could have killed somebody. A child! A puppy, Aria."
Aria: "I get that? But I think maybe you have Spencer confused with another of my schoolmates if you think anybody can say shit to her."
Ezra: "No, I know which one Spencer is. The one that just got out of a mental institution."
Aria: "Touché."
Ezra: "And all that took was seeing her boyfriend's dead body. Not even her boyfriend's dead body, just a body."
