Aria's still feeling petulant about Jackie Morales's existence, despite Mom Ella moving back into the Montgomery house and Ezra prowling around the place in his PJ bottoms, but eventually she forgives him. He's still working at the school for now, though, so when A steals his diploma and stashes it as a warning to the Liars, it freaks Aria out several ways at once.

Where it gets stashed is Annabeth Gish's office, where the authorities and parents have decided the Liars will finally be getting their much-needed grief counseling. After lots of suspicious back-and-forth, the usual sketchy behavior of the PLLs, and the aforementioned A scheme, Dr. Anne decides that the girls are in over their heads, and suggests they be grounded from each other for the time being. Cue mopey teen-angst montage, of course, because they've never needed each other more.

Melissa's under the impression that her husband is on the run after the girls' blackmail attempt, despite numerous (and classically blunt) attempts by Spencer to disabuse her of this notion. After all, the last time we saw Ian he had been strangled to death in a clock tower. But by episode's end, the girls intercept a text conversation on Melissa's phone that may suggest otherwise.

Caleb and Lucas finally get back to Rosewood, but Hanna's not interested in Caleb's apologies. She runs off to yell at Mona about trashing his last goodbye letter, and guess who Mona's dating now? That's right, NOEL KAHN. Thank God he's back. Sadly, Mona can't even properly enjoy this windfall of fate since she's so upset by Hanna's anger over the letter thing.

Emily's still in danger of moving to Texas, but at least she and Toby are friends again. And although both the Cavanaughs and the Hastingses forbid it, Toby and Spencer are still going strong -- which doesn't seem to bother prickly Jenna quite as much these days, since she's still with her hot cop boyfriend. Things are actually looking pretty good for old Spencer all-around, considering her sister seems A) Honestly concerned for her and B) Willing to actually hear the story of Hilton Head and the clock tower for the first time with an open mind.

In the end, it looks like A might be renting Emily's house once she's gone -- like she's going anywhere -- which will work out nicely since Jason DiLaurentis has apparently bought his old house from Maya's parents. Ian may still be alive, A doesn't want the girls talking to their therapist collectively or separately, and Mona's probably about to do something drastic. Although, given her promise last season to hunkify Lucas as a present to Hanna, that might turn out to be amazing. Since they're not technically allowed to talk to each other for the time being, it might be a good idea to find a few distractions.
