HASTINGS
Spencer is ON TASK. Taskin' HARD.
"CeCe told me she stopped by the DiLaurentis house to talk to Alison the night she went missing. When CeCe arrived, she witnessed a fight..."
Spencer fugues into the past using time-travel, one of the lesser known benefits of Study Aid, and remembers this one time she tried to kill Alison DiLaurentis in between their houses with a shovel:
Ali: "You're way out of your league, Spencer. Why don't you put that thing down before you hurt yourself?"
Quickly, count the number of people who almost killed Ali with a shovel that night and then didn't. Actually, Jason almost killing her with a lacrosse stick too, but that was earlier in the week. Among the many adventures of Alison there are a surprising amount of adventures where people almost clobber her but then don't clobber her. Also, so many people in that yard watching other people almost clobber her and not revealing themselves to each other. I feel like this is the third or fourth tableau of this happening that night in that specific location. Everybody was in that yard that night. Melissa was there, Shana was there, you were there, I was there, doing my best to clobber her with a mannequin leg, until she abruptly peaced out, mumbling something about how she was already late for some choking sex out by the Kissin' Rock and that a psychic witch from another dimension had already hopped in the car to come yank her out of the ground in like an hour.
"CeCe didn't tell anyone what she saw, because Mrs. DiLaurentis paid her not to. Mrs. DiLaurentis also witnessed the fight."
Dolly zoom! I know what that's called now. But how interesting, insofar as Alison's entire family was also hiding around the yard watching these things go down, as it turns out. Also, a shadow of fear passes over Ali's face as Spencer's brandishing the shovel, before she starts trying to talk her down, like maybe she was more aware of Spencer's ability to clobber. Or at least that she was out of control on drugs, a thing not even Spencer was aware of at the time.
Do we remember what the fight was about? I remember Ali going after Emily pretty hard and I feel like that started it, but maybe we still don't know the middle part?
DOWNSTAIRS
Peter: "Honey you still look terrible, get some sleep."
Spencer: "Actually I don't need to sleep ever in my life. Listen, remember that night?"
