And then they just leave him up there! I hope he's okay. It gets cold at night in the PA.

Aria: "Where did you learn to kick somebody like that? Portugal? Or wait, is this part of the Secret? Your bruise? Did somebody jump on you like that? To what end?"

Get used to it, Holden. Ezra Fitz had to change his number three times, was threatened with jail time and the end of his career, and she still managed to make him go back out with her. Just give it up, bro. She isn't going to let this one slide.

BUT WHAT OF NOEL KAHN?

It's finally time to sleep. Mona takes care of Tamborelli out in the hallway, so once again Emily's hands are clean. She runs back, all excited at a job done well, and they giggle and are sweet, but then...

Emily: "Why would you do this for me?"
Mona: "It was fun? That's what friends do? But now you've got to help me."
Emily: "Ah, here we fuckin' go. The other shoe."
Mona: "-- What do people wear to a swim meet? If I show up in my wedges, are they gonna get mushy?"

And oh, how they laugh.

VP OFC

Ashley: "Hey, Isabel? I think Tamborelli wanted to talk to you."
Isabel: "About how your daughter is a psycho bitch?"
Ashley: "No, not exactly. Also, you are a whore. I just wanted to reiterate that."

The girls come out of Tamborelli's office -- and can I just say he is doing a shitload of administrative things, for it being the middle of the night -- and Hanna is happy and vindicated but not vindictive, whereas Kate is still making that face. Maybe it's just her face.

HASTINGS ISSUES

Spencer goes ballistic on Veronica, of course.

Spencer: "Why am I the last to know?"
Veronica: "You're not. Melissa doesn't know either."
Spencer: "Say what? Also, how can you be okay with this? And how can you go on living next door to them for all of these years?"
Veronica: "I just found out fairly recently, and by then there wasn't much of a point."
Spencer: "Why was I not involved in this conversation about what's best for our family?"
Veronica: "Honey, first of all you're a kid. But to be honest, most of the things our family does don't concern you. We actually all live in an entirely different house several miles away, quite happily. Melissa's there, and the Devil Baby, and your Dad and I. It's great. You'd love it."
Spencer: "No! I! Wouldn't!"
