The girls (minus Hanna) went to visit Ali in prison and apologize. They told her what Mike had told them. As they were leaving, Aria asked Ali not to tell her defense attorney about Mike and she promised that they would find A. Ali started to protest but Aria reminded her that they had been going after A's henchmen and not A. Ali promised Aria she would hold off as long as she could because she didn't want to hurt Mike.
Aria continues to worry about her brother and misses a study session with Andrew. He asks her to a movie and she clarifies that it can't be a date because she is still "sort of" with Ezra. They agree to go as friends and Andrew says it's a movie about "a dark figure in the shadows who sends messages and knows everyone's secrets." Creepy!
Mrs. Hastings is angry at Spencer for visiting Alison. She hands her a plane ticket to London so she can go for an interview at Oxford University. It's made clear that Spencer has no choice but to go. Meanwhile, Emily finds out that the pageant is much more of a time commitment than she previously thought, but she is committed to winning it for Hanna. Hanna and Aria go over to the Hastings to see Spencer, and Aria asks for a minute of Mrs. Hasting's time and legal advice. Mrs. H. warns her that they aren't under lawyer client privileged so she might be forced to share what Aria says even if she doesn't want to. Aria hands her a dollar and asks her to be her lawyer for an hour. Mrs. H. agrees and listens to Aria, telling her that the person in question (Mike of course) could face some serious penalties for withholding valuable information in a police investigation.
Aria begs Hanna to go with her to see Cyrus aka Hank Mahoney who is in the hospital. She explains how she tracked him down and how important it is for them to see him. Hanna agrees to go with her and Emily tries to make arrangements for her pageant schedule.
Mrs. H. pays Ali a visit in an effort to find out why the girls saw her. Alison swears to her that she is innocent and wants a trial by jury so she can have a chance to tell her side because "for once it's the truth." Mrs. H. warns her that is probably not a wise idea since everyone is aware of all of her lies and it would be hard to convince the jury that she is telling the truth. Ali asks for advice and Mrs. H. says she doesn't know what to say and Ali says, "what would you say to Spencer? she was almost in this chair." That really hits Mrs. H., who tells her that she is going to have to have a good coach. Ali asks her to do it and Mrs. H. leaves without giving an answer.
Spencer arrives in London and is greeted by Wren's flatmate who informs her that Wren and Melissa are gone for the weekend at Wren's bosses home. He talks on as she is mindlessly preoccupied with her phone. Hanna and Aria go to the hospital claiming to be Hank's cousins and the nurse makes them gown up before seeing him in the burn unit. He is severely burned and he insists to them it wasn't an accident. He writes down "Varjack" on a gauze wrapper before the nurse makes the girls leave.
Spencer is in an interview with Oxford that she is completely nailing, until the professor notices her bag is leaking a red substance all over his chair. She freaks out and looks in her bag, finding a brokwn vile of blood. She grabs her bag and apologizes profusely before running out of the office. She calls Aria and freaks out about what happened and Aria tells her that Cyrus was attacked and left them a note that said "carjacked." Spencer says she wants to come home but she is scared to because she doesn't know if a put anything else in her luggage and that she was lucky TSA didn't find the vile. Aria tries to reassure her but has to hang up to keep Hanna from getting into the fight with a nurse. In the elevator they realize he wrote "Varjack" and wonder if he was referring to Paul Varjack, the character from Breakfast at Tiffanys noting that Ali loved the movie and even posed as Holly's likeness for her fake passport photo. They wonder if A is using the name to taunt Ali. They also realize that he misspelled the name which means he hadn't seen it written so he must have spoken to A. The camera shows a burn victim get up from their bed and approach Cyrus which means he is probably dead thanks to A.
Spencer continues to flip out in London and Wren's flatmate is concerned and totally calms her down again. Meanwhile, Emily is working hard in the dance studio on her routine when Talia interrupts. She tells Emily that she and Eric had a long talk and they are breaking up. She is going to stay in a motel for a while until Emily offers for her to stay at the house. They dance together until Talia breaks down and Emily slow dances with her. Then her pageant coach walks in and tells Emily she might want to drop out because of her friends. Em and Talia immediately assume she is talking about their gay relationship, but the coach insists she means Em's friendship with Ali. She claims that the sponsors of the show are afraid that their relationship will taint the show. Talia threatens legal action and suggests that they either let Em compete or their sponsors send Emily a check for school.
Hanna find out her mom and Pastor Ted are engaged and this leads her to visit Ali. She apologizes for what she said and Ali tells her it's ok. She apologizes for how she treated them as well. She insists she thought she was helping them by telling them what to wear, eat, date, etc., but now that she is in their position and no one is listening to her she realizes how terrible it feels and she's sorry. She asks to start over and Hanna says she isn't sure, but that can try. Also on the Ali front, she wrote "Mona" in dust on a table and when she returned she saw someone had written "told everything" underneath it. She also recieved a mini doll in an orange jumpsuit with a note from A that said "Now that you're over the barrel how would you like to be in one."
Mrs. H. calls Spencer after looking over Ali's case file and leaves her a message telling her to stay in London.
Aria is at home and looking for Mike's schedule because she assumes he is at a game. She sees it on his dart board so she climbs up to get it, using his bench press for support. Andrew is calling for her downstairs and she says she's coming. The screws in the bench press give way (because A tampered with them), and Aria falls to the floor, hurting her head and ankle. Andrew rushes in to help her and notices the wrong bolts were on the screws. He says that if Mike had gone to use it, it would have crushed his skull. This really shakes Aria up and she begins to cry quietly as Andrew examines her foot. He tells her that "for a petite girl you bring on a lot of chaos," and that he "likes problems and doesn't mind them." He's clearly vying for her. He mentions that she should see a doctor for her foot and he looks up to see her crying. He sits next to her and offers his shoulder for her to cry on. He assures her that she'll be ok. They look at each other and he leans in, and THEY KISS!
