Im still not ready!
Before we get to the big stuff, though, lets take care of the housekeeping.
Ezra gets home, and Aria flatly tells him, Nicoles upstairs sleeping.
Meanwhile, the game has appeared at Alis house, and its going berserk.
she answers with firmness (Its not broken.
Maybe shes just hypothesizing from experience.
Youre not winning any Father of the Year prizes for quite some time.
He tells her he was looking for Mary Drake, and he even hired a private investigator.
And she still wants some answers.
Over at school, Ali tells Emily shes decided to terminate her pregnancy.
Their moment is interrupted, though, by Detective Furey (who incidentally came straight from Spencers bedroom).
Emily leaves, and Furey tells Ali about the severed finger he was sent.
Turns out it belongs to none other than speak of the devil Archer!
The Liars reconvene at the game board to figure out the next steps.
They wonder whether A.D. will send the cops another piece of Archer every time they do something wrong.
Is this punishment for not finding Charlottes killer?
For Hanna not finishing her turn?
Either way, its Alisons turn: The game sends her to a mystery location.
Across town, Aria hangs up a video call with Ali and receives another one right away.
Aria finally snaps and hurls her game piece at a wine glass, shattering it.
Then, she casually goes to meet with Ali.
The chirpy saleswoman gives Ali the package she was told to set aside for the egg donor.
Its a personalized necklace and whose name is spelled out in beads?EMILY.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?!
And, uh… a way for Emison to live happily ever after and raise a baby together?
(Also, Ali gets her puzzle piece.)
Aria goes and is invited into a black limo, where who is waiting in a black hoodie?
Aria asks how she gets out of all this, and Sydney says, There is no out.
But you could change sides and be part of the winning team.
Then she turns her head and accidentally reveals an earpiece, which Aria points out.
So, A.D. was clearly feeding Sydney lines.
But does this mean Sydneydidshoot Spencer as a task assigned by A.D.?
Or she just said she did because she was speakingforA.D.?
I think its the latter.
But on her way out, Aria asks Sydney why shes really helping.
Because its no fun being on the losing team, she says.
They dated for a while in college, he explains.
Oh, and they also had a son he pulls out a photo a little blond boy named Charles.
Hannas almost stepdad is Charles dad.
Does this taint his already weird motivations for letting Hanna live there?
This is just getting weirder and weirder.
So he proceeds to tell her about the night Jessica DiLaurentis was killed.
Mary had dropped by the Hastings house, lurking in the shadows.
Spencer tries to be skeptical (They were sisters!)
(So am I. Shes evil.)
Mr. Hastings says that now, he just wants to protect her.
(He is also evil: He knew about Charlottebeforehis daughter was tortured in the dollhouse!)
Aria waltzes in late, and they ask where she was.
I just wrecked my life!
I cant do it again!
Emily agrees: Its supposed to be Arias turn!
Ali, ever the wise one, knows its no mistake.
It knows exactly what its doing, she says.
Then, privately, Aria gets a text.
Made a decision yet?
A.D. Hmm… has she?
