Emily: "Which is?"Shana: "First that Ali said it was a gift for someone special. Second, obviously I saw you and Hanna spying on me today at Jessica's. Which is also the reason for my visit. I went in there to retrieve something and Jessica was all over me the whole time..."
Emily: "Yeah, I know what that's like."
Shana: "...So now you gotta get in there and get it. Did you ever notice a poster..."

SEMI-CHARMED KINDA SPENCER
Not even a few dozen quick crunches and some investigation of yet more Website Pages can calm the bucking bronco that is Spencer Hastings' need to get this shit done with. A fully strode up to her in the middle of a drug deal, looked her right in her hooded haunted drug-addict eyes, and said: "I am going to make you suffer."
This whole time Hanna's been afraid of touching off another mine, and Spencer's busily doing just that, and neither one of them knows because they think they're helping.

She thinks about rerecording it, but her hummingbird mind has already taken her three steps past this momentary lapse in judgment, so she puts down her phone like it's on fire and then picks it up again and then does a little dance and then says fuck it and decides to break into Ezra Fitz's old apartment.

Ezra: "Thanks for making coffee. How long have you been up?"
Aria: "I barely slept. I hate lying. Things are coming to a head. I had to spin so many tales just to come up here, and for what? Your vague wizard spell nothing reasons?"
