Pretty Little Liars

Previously on "Pretty Little Liars"...

If she hadn't given you back that ring,

you'd be married to her right now.

Possibly.

Put your arm around me.

Hanna: Nice work. Caleb: It was easy.

Well, I'm not.

Spencer: I'll be back for it on Monday.

As soon as the banks open, I'll have the cash.

Here you go.

Is this some kind of a joke?

I-I brought in a ring.

Not according to the ticket.

Somebody broke into our garage?

Did they get into the house? Is anything else missing?

Looking for someone?

No. I thought that you were the only one living here.

I am.

Spencer: Melissa!

Aria: Is this a suicide

Spencer: It's both.

Emily... How do you have this?

I sent it to her.

I took a picture with my phone before we called the cops.

It's weird— why would Ian kill himself

just as he was about to skip town with Melissa?

Maybe he realized he was gonna get caught.

He couldn't hide forever,

even with Melissa and Wren's help.

He was probably desperate.

Look, who cares why Ian did it?

The important thing is, Ali's killer is dead

and we're no longer people of interest.

Why am I not feeling relieved right now?

Oh, Em, come on.

For months, we've been about as welcome in this town as a cold sore,

and plus, now people know that we've been telling the truth.

And Ian is out of our lives for good.

Yeah... but "A" isn't.

Can we please just slay one dragon at a time?

- Hey. - Hey.

What are you doing here?

I just came to return some evidence

we took from the field hockey office.

Hey, um, look, I just wanted to say

that I'm sorry you all had to be the ones who found him.

Melissa's the one who found him.

I'm sorry. Then again, could have been worse.

What do you mean?

Bodies decay. He'd been dead at least a week.

Give my best to your family.

Yeah.

A week?!

No, that's impossible. He was texting Melissa.

No, he wasn't. I'm betting it was "A".

Why would "A" pretend to be Ian

and then lead us there to his body?

Does it matter?

The guy was scum, and now he's dead scum.

Who cares if "A" found him first?

What does "A" want?

You know what I want?

I want to enjoy my life again...

before "A" finds another way to ruin it.

Are you coming?

No, you guys go ahead.

Em, what is it?

We now know "A" is involved.

Doesn't that make you nervous?

Yeah...

But not as much as Ian did.

Could we just please take a break from looking over our shoulder?

Well, thanks for calling Jess.

I really appreciate it.

Oh, we're hanging in there.

Yeah. Okay, I will. Bye.

Are you gonna answer that?

Reporters have been calling all day.

Listen, you bottom- feeding vultures,

stop sucking the life out of my family.

Oh, I'm so sorry, grandma.

Let— let me give her to you.

Hi, ma.

Yeah, I know. It's crazy here.

Let me call you back, okay?

Did you reach somebody?

It wasn't easy.

Finally got ahold of his aunt.

She wants nothing to do with us.

Meaning what, exactly?

Meaning she doesn't want to give him a funeral.

So what now?

We're responsible for burying him?

Let's just— let's talk about this later.

Oh, no, no, no. Veronica. we can't put this off.

What options do we have?

We can turn him over to the County!

I-I think... we need to give him a funeral.

It's the right thing to do.

Sweetie, no one expects us to give him a funeral.

We'll regret it if we don't.

Please.

I think she needs this.

Let us think about it, okay?

Do you want ice?

Sure.

Uh... we don't have any? Are you hungry?

Do you have any food?

No.

That's... on the list too,

after ice.

My mom's been too busy to shop.

So, why are you here, anyway?

Well, I heard what happened, and I just...

Wanted to see how you were holding up.

You don't have to check in on me anymore, okay?

One fake date does not a relationship make.

Wait. I'm sorry.

It's just...

It's been a stressful couple of days.

Have you ever seen one?

A dead body, I mean.

Yeah.

Hanna?

Yeah, I'm in here.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

It's off. I'm charging it.

I left messages.

'Bout what?

That's not the point.

When I call, I need to be able to reach you, always.

Okay.

Mom, what's wrong?

Did something happen with dad?

Is it work?

You know...

This whole... past year...

Whenever you have left the house,

there's a part of me that's been terrified

that you might never come back.

Every time you walk out that door I memorize the color of your top,

whether you're wearing jeans or a skirt,

what kind of shoes you have on,

just in case I ever have to—

No, mom, don't.

Don't go there.

We don't have to worry about this anymore.

It's over.

We can breathe again.

Yeah.

I never understood what people meant

when they said they had an out-of-body experience,

but after I heard Melissa scream...

It was like everything was in slow motion.

Look, it's... going to take a long time

for that night to go away.

Aria: I think the hardest part is... ( Knocking loudly )

Hey, "Z", I wanted...

Sorry. I didn't realize.

Hey, Jackie, this is Aria,

a former student of mine.

I think we've met, actually.

Aren't you Professor Montgomery's daughter?

Yeah, um, we met at my parents' place, I think.

We— we met at my parents' place, I think.

I-I was just on the way to my dad's office

when I ran into... Mr. Fitz.

She's not your student anymore.

I think you can let the girl call you by your first name.

Oh.

I just stopped by 'cause the psych department

moved their conference to Friday.

We don't have to take over your lecture hall after all.

Cool.

Nice seeing you again, Aria.

Mmm, you too!

"Z"?

All my college friends call me that.

Yeah, well, from ages 2 to 7,

my family used to call me "pookie bear,"

but... all good things must come to an end.

Aria. I'm sorry. It's just...

Frustrating, you know?

The whole point of you working here was so that

you wouldn't have to introduce me as your former student.

You didn't have to offer up that stuff about your dad.

You basically demoted me to a pit stop.

Okay, whatever.

Clearly, we both need to find some way

to warm people up to the idea of us as a couple.

How about I start introducing you as pookie bear?

Mmm! No.

How 'bout you just start introducing me as a friend?
