Fitz: "Okay, I had '67 Jaguar that I sold for cash."
Aria: "Why didn't you tell me this?"
Fitz: "It was embarrassing! I quit my job with no other options, and couldn't move anywhere else to take a job because I am doing a little child, and it was all too much! Six months ago I was a professor and now I'm answering want ads for webzines [WHAT?] and reusing coffee filters!"
I don't even know what to say to that, Ezra Fitz. That is no way to go about things. I mean, when your child bride has a better job -- even if it's just by virtue of being A JOB -- and you're talkin' bout...
Hold up, didn't he totally get a job last week? At Jenna's birthday? Was that a Pretty Little Lie too? I sure hope so. I hope he never calms down or stops telling lies. Pissed-off Ezra has all the cuteness of a baby squirrel, but he breaks just like a full-grown man.
Vengeance Valley: "When you're loyal to a man, Hewie, you're loyal to everything about him... Even his faults..."
HASTINGS
Vengeance Valley: "There are some things, and some people, you can't run away from."
Peter: "Good morning."
Spencer: "Oh, is it?"
Peter: "You're looking relatively stable this morning."
Spencer: "Oh, am I?"
Peter: "No, I was just being nice. Listen, the cops have been looking for that anklet for two years now [Really?] and they didn't even tell the family about it [Really?] and but now you and Jason dropped it off at the station."
Spencer: "Proving once again that I am better at the cops than the cops are..."
Peter: "The anklet had trace amounts of blood on it... Alison's, and someone else's, but not Garrett's."
Spencer: "I am about to lose my shit."
Peter: "It's a mystery person, but not him. The judge threw out the case."
Spencer commences losing her shit, in a fantastic way, screaming into a pillow and writhing and just totally selling it, and when she's finally on her literal knees, A TEXTS HER with confirmation that Garrett didn't kill the girls, hee-hee-hee, and Spencer digs down beneath the rock-bottom she hit a second ago and just... It's breathtaking. A wonderfully performed, wonderfully filmed, existential breakdown caught on tape.
Like you could believe that all this girl has had, for a good long time, is one fact she decided was worth holding onto, and suddenly you just see the weight of the last two years crumble down on her from the sky, and Spencer -- our Spencer, our crazy little fightin' Spencer that could carry all of us on her back -- just breaks down and can't carry it, and it's so sad. So sad!
