LUNCH
Liars: (Honestly trying to be nice to Kate, both because they care about Hanna and also because they don't care about Hanna.)
Kate: "So I can go back to Baltimore and visit my real friends on weekends, I mean, I'm not completely isolated and alone like Hanna here."
Spencer: "Have you ever been indicted for crimes in but not restricted to the following states..."
Kate: "-- No, girl. You don't know me. Let it go."
Liars, verbatim: "So Kate, will you be joining any clubs or sports teams?"
Kate: "What a strange way to phrase that question. I was thinking about..."
Spencer: "-- Debate! You were on TV in a debate with John McCain! And then killed a person!"
Kate: "Um, I was going to say Orchestra. What is wrong with your friend? Anyway, I'm going to go curry favor with the faculty in order to cement my WASP privilege."
Liars: "Even for you, Spencer Hastings, that mess was very Spencer Hastings."
Spencer: "No, I know that I know her. I am crazy, it's true, but I am also almost always right."
Hanna: "You have a point there, but you need to back off her. Stop giving her the fourth degree."
Liars: "Third degree..."
Hanna: "-- Whatever. Just stop giving her degrees, okay? What part of I have fucking had it with you three are you not getting?"
Mona: "I exist purely for situations like this. Why am I not in this episode? COME TO ME, HANNA MARIN."

Pam has left a note on Emily's locker -- Did you miss me? -- that Emily post-traumatically assumes is, like everything else, a cruel taunting threat from her stalker. But no, just her mom. It's nice to see old Pam.
Emily: "Chocolate Macadamia cookies! My favorite, possibly because of our ethnicity!"
Pam: "Canadian? Anyway, is there anybody you want to bring to dinner at the one restaurant in this entire town? The Liars, perhaps? Or a Special Friend?"
Emily: "Thank you for opening that door, you're a good mom. Yes, there is a person."
Pam: "Somebody new?"
Emily: "Kind of. Also kind of the opposite."
Pam: "Oh, Christ. You're dating Maya again? That girl is the worst!"
LOCKER ROOM
Everybody bounces around the locker room naked for a million years, and that includes the Liars since this is one of those episodes where they all have identical class schedules except for poor stupid Hanna. Eventually it's just Spencer and Kate, and you can already see the crazy activating in Spencer when they have this cute conversation:
