Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 2, Episode 6 - Never Letting Go - full transcript

Melissa!

Previously
on "Pretty Little Liars"...

Ian didn't commit suicide.

That entire suicide letter
is made up of "A" texts.

What?

I don't remember a thing
from the night Ali died.

You know what I
do remember?

Your pink hair.
I thought it was cool.

I know the funeral
was today.

I just wanted to
come check on you.

Wait.



I wanted to see how you were doing
after last night's near miss.

She was online
this morning checking

every college
with an endowment and a pool.

So, be happy. At least it gives
us time for a second date.

I really needed
a hug from you today, - Ezra!

Not later at your apartment
or tomorrow at Hollis.

Here, right now.

Things are a little tense right
now between me and Isabel.

- Does mom know that?
- Your mom catches on pretty fast.

- Sorry I'm late.
- So, are you going out

with Noel, or was that
just a one-off?

He's a major get.

Now he even has
some bad-boy cred.

You know, there's bad,
and then there's bad.



I caught him
at the window.

Hanna He broke
into your house?

Thank you for not
calling the police.

I've seen enough cops
in my house for one year.

Guys, look.

I know you wanna kiss me.

- Oh, my God!
- She was still alive!

Why would "A" show us
that part of the video?

To keep us distracted for when
the next attack is launched.

Or to tell us there's more
to what happened that night.

Guys, Ian tried to kill me
in the bell tower

to get back
his perverted videos,

and he went after Ali
for the same reason.

Yeah, but "A" had us convinced
that Ian killed Alison,

and now it's,
what, two miles

from the kissing rock
to Ali's house.

Did she turn off the camera
and walk home

in the dark, alone?

Yeah, someone could've
been waiting for her

and surprised her
when she got home.

- Like who?
- Like Ian.

Just because he didn't kill
Alison at the kissing rock

doesn't mean that he didn't
do it an hour later.

If Ian didn't kill Ali,
did "A"?

So, uh, did you invite
Ezra to the show?

No, he's out of town presenting
a paper at a conference.

Did you invite Caleb?

Why would I do that?

Because you kissed him.

How was it?

Well, I wore
the total wrong gloss.

You know the kind that looks wet,
but it's really sticky?

Oof, the wads of hair
get stuck to your mouth.

It's all fun and sexy till
somebody hacks up a hairball.

Hey, could we please
keep folding?

I needed these done yesterday,

and I've already missed
a million committee meetings.

Can I get it?
It's just a text.

If it's from Ezra,
then yes.

Wow. Toby has turned our boss
into a romantic.

I was always a romantic!

You know, under a thin
veneer of pragmatism and...

...a few shockingly
bad choices.

Guys, uh, I'm gonna
go deal with this.

Do you realize
that we finally

all have boyfriends/girlfriends
at the same time?

Okay, I do not
have a boyfriend!

Yeah, you do.
You just don't want to admit it.

Tell Ezra we say hi.

Hey, what's up?

Can I talk to you
for a second?

Look...

I said some things
after the funeral

that I probably should
have kept to myself.

I thought that you felt better
knowing that Ian had commit...

Well, so did I, but...

I don't want people getting
the wrong idea, you know?

I won't say a word.

And, plus, the way you handled
things with my brother, I...

...kind of owe you one.

I have to get back.

We're, uh, folding programs
for the fashion show.

Ah.

My mom gets in tomorrow.

One final speech before
she steps down from the board.

I thought Jessica DeLaurentis
was the board.

She only joined
because of my sister.

Ali lived
for that fashion show.

I should go.

Martini me.

Extra dry, extra olives,
coming up.

- Hey, Hanna.
- Hey, sweetheart.

Hey. What's going on?

Well, your father and I
are cooking up a little

farewell fling.

Mind setting the table?

Are you still leaving
in the morning?

Yeah. Thought it'd be nice
to have one last dinner,

just the three of us.

So, what's for dessert?

Or are you saving that
for your new family?

Wow.

You sure know how
to walk a girl home.

So, what time do you
need me tomorrow?

Um...

After schoolish?

I'll know
after the meeting.

You think you can build me
some makeup tables?

For you, I won't sleep
until it's done.

Good night.

Good night.

You obviously have no
control over the situation.

Then what the hell is
Jason doing back here?

Hey, champ.

- Just get home?
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, do we have
any pretzels?

Um, Melissa took them
with her on the trip.

A week
at a five-star resort,

and your sister cuts corners
by bringing her own snacks.

You could've gone,
too, you know.

No way, I'm too busy.
Who was that on the phone?

Oh, just some yahoo from the junior
league board asking for donations.

You sounded angry.

Well, I told them I already bought
a dozen tickets to the fashion show.

Don't we have
anything salty?

Dad, you're not
supposed to have salt.

You're not supposed
to watch me so closely.

I'll be in my study
if you need me.

This is Jessica DeLaurentis.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

Yeah, I took
a business card,

but I think I left
it there in Texas.

Yeah, you'll probably find it
under the bed.

Well.

Can I talk to him?

Yeah, hang on. Hang on one sec.
Emily wants to talk to you.

Hey. I wanna e-mail you
my paper before I hand it in.

Next week.

Do you have time?

Okay, perfect.
Thanks, dad.

I just miss him.

You were just in Texas
three days ago.

I know, but it
wasn't easy leaving.

What if you stayed with
dad a little longer next time?

You mean, like,
for maybe a whole week?

Maybe until
summer vacation.

Honey, I can't leave you
here by yourself.

Mom, I'm really busy
right now.

I see you at breakfast,
you hand me my lunchbag,

and then I'm gone
until dinner.

I do my homework until
way after you're asleep.

When you say it like that,
I sound like a vending machine.

You're not
a vending machine,

but you're also not
my chauffeur

or my baby-sitter
anymore.

I could stay
with a friend

and then join you
and dad in June.

You know what,
I'll think about it.

Okay.

Thank you.

Good night.

He was, like,
yelling yelling.

Slow down, I haven't
had coffee.

Kind of just wanted
to drink it, not swim laps.

Wait.

Your dad was yelling
at Ali's mom?

Why? Did you ask
him about it?

Yeah, but he, like,
lied lied.

Why would he lie?

The real question is what's
really going on with Jason?

He told me that he was
in that creepy house alone,

but there was somebody else
in that upstairs window,

and I was not
just imagining it.

But it wasn't Ian.

Okay, so who?
OrWhat?

He's hiding something.

You don't paper over windows
unless you're a vampire.

I don't know, okay?

Maybe shutting out the world
is just how he copes!

Who knows what he's
feeling right now.

Well, apparently you.

I'm just trying
to be human, Spence,

okay, he lost
his sister.

What?

Just got an e-mail
from Ali's mom.

What does it say?

I don't know.
I'm too scared to open it.

Do you think she knows that I
called and hung up last night?

No, no.

I just got
the same e-mail.

Why does Ali's mom wanna
have lunch with us?

Oh, they've made
some nice changes to the menu,

haven't they?
Hanna, what are you gonna order?

Ahem, um, Chinese
chicken salad.

Alison's favorite.

You must be really happy
that Jason's moved back.

Happy? I don't even think
of that as our house anymore.

Actually, we all thought
Jason moving back

was kind of odd.

Jason came
into family money,

and it's his choice
what to do with it.

He definitely marches
to his own drummer,

both my kids do. Did.

You know what?

I was gonna wait
until after lunch, but...

Now I'm thinking,
"why wait?"

Did Ali ever
show you these?

I know you like
this one, Em.

Don't I look hot?

Those feathers
are really pretty.

This stretch-side
is to die.

Can I try it on?

There's not
that much stretch.

It's a nice haul, right?

All one-of-a-kind,
and all mine...

Just like you guys.

She picked these out.

She did. And...

It's a shame that she
won't get to wear them.

You know, I gave
so much away so fast.

Ali's father thought
that it would help me,

but there were certain things
that I just couldn't...

And when I heard that the four
of you were doing the show,

I thought, "wouldn't it
be nice if Ali's dream

could be realized, at least,
by her best friends?"

Um, I don't really know
what you're asking.

Mrs. DeLaurentis,

are you asking us
to wear these?

In the fashion show?

Ali would've loved it.

It's the four of you that are
keeping her memory alive.

Please say yes.

I won't.
I can't.

- Why not?
- Because it's freaky! And weird!

We can't just march around
in her clothes.

It feels like
we just buried her.

Alison never wore them.

Well, she tried them on.
Freaky enough.

Hanna, it's a tribute.

Some pictures of Ali,
a couple songs that she liked?

You get where her mom
is coming from.

Yeah, well,
she needs to go back.

You don't need a degree
to see that the woman's in pain.

She ordered a second
Bloody Mary for her dessert.

Yeah, that was
her dinner.

Well, she was sober enough
to run it by the board,

so we really don't have
much of a choice.

I'll let the
student committee know.

Do you want
to take charge of photos?

Do we have to pass
the pictures by her mom,

make sure she's okay
with the ones we choose?

I could run them past Jason.

I mean, it just might be
easier for him, emotionally.

But are you sure you want
to go to that house?

I'll just ask him to meet me
after school.

I don't know. You might
not want to get him involved.

It's his sister.
He already is.

Hey, guys!

Sorry I'm late.

Um, what's
in the box?

Oh, the programs.

The programs, right!

Um, can we sidebar?

Yeah.

Um, we revamped
the programs.

The glossy paper gives it a
high-end touch, don't you think?

Mm! Why didn't anybody
tell me about this?

I just folded, like,
100 of these.

You were gone,
Spencer. M.I.A.

Okay, people thought
you were going to jail.

Was there anything else
that I need to know?

We finished
stuffing swag bags,

I arranged a piece
on the show

in the Rosewood Observer
style section.

Oh! And I got us a D.J.

Great.

Oh, it's okay if I
play favorites, right?

After all,
I'm committee chair!

Oh! Sorry, since when?

Since you weren't
here to vote.

Listen, Spencer, decisions
had to be made.

I made them.

Hold still.

Okay, take it off.

## Don't you wanna see me
flaunt what I got. ##

## Don't you ##

## don't you wanna, wanna ##

## don't you ##

## don't you wanna, wanna ##

You should come.

See your handiwork
on the runway.

Can you pass me
that hanger?

Thanks.

I would love to come,
but, I, uh,

I have plans with somebody
tomorrow night.

You should bring
your friend.

I have
an extra ticket.

Okay. Let's do it.

Okay.

You know, I can call Jessica
if this makes you uncomfortable.

Let me know if it's
just all too much.

I'm fine.
It's just...

Lot of memories.

Mom, do you think
it's possible

for somebody
to black out,

where they don't remember
a whole chunk of time?

Um, there may be
a few nights in college

I don't remember
all that clearly.

Why do you ask?

There's this guy...

Kind of a friend.

He's missing
a whole night

when a lot happened.

My friends think
it's convenient

that he can't
remember where he was

or what he did.

Well, sometimes people
file things away

until they're ready
to deal with them.

Time can heal,

and something shakes
a memory loose.

I like this one.

Yeah. Thanks, mom.

♪♪

Dad! What are you doing here?
You scared me.

I could ask you
the same thing.

I'm sorry, kid.

Your mom gave me
a spare key

in case you weren't
here when I came by.

She's got a late meeting and
I offered to pick up dinner.

Hungry?

Yeah, but what
are you doing here?

Delivering thai.
Thought you loved thai.

And I thought
you left this morning

to go to your house
where your fiancée lives.

I decided to stay
for the weekend

so I could see
your fashion show.

What's the point?
You're still leaving.

The point is that we
always fight before I leave,

and I'm tired of ending
every visit on a sour note,

and when you got mad
at dinner the other night,

I thought maybe
we should talk.

Okay.

Talk.

Hanna.

I miss being around for
these kind of things,

and I was kind
of hoping you would be

a little more excited
that I was here.

No, you're staying here because
you're still in love with mom.

It's her you're hanging
around here for, not me.

Your mom and I are
getting along better.

Yeah, what's with
the whole

"pals who drink
Martinis" act?

Cooking dinner together,

long talks
on the patio?

You're here more than
you're at your hotel,

and now you have
a spare key?

We've turned a corner.

No! I see the way
you look at her!

Stop using me
as an excuse.

Hanna, there's nothing
going on between us.

You can't even
admit it, can you?

- Hanna --
- You know what? I've got homework.

Where was
this one taken?

I'm not sure.

Maybe at the Hastings
lake house?

Cool.

Um...

Did my mother
ask you to do this?

What? No.

Yeah, kind of.

Why?

Just seems like
something she would do.

This was, um...

Taken the day
she got back

from your grandma's
in Georgia.

She came straight
to Emily's.

Use it.

She looks
happy there.

She went straight home
after Emily's

to get dinner
and then change clothes

before Spencer's party
in the barn.

Okay.

I-I was just worried
that if we used any pictures

from the day
she disappeared that...

I don't think anyone
but you guys will know that.

Really? What about
your mom or you?

I don't remember
anything from that day.

No! I know that
you said that,

but I guess
I just figured,

since it was your last meal
as a family that...

Aria, why am I here?

I just thought
you'd be sensitive

to anything that might be
a little difficult for your mom.

My mother and I live
on different planets.

No, I get it.

But you must have
some memory of that day.

I don't, okay?
Only the next day,

when I was questioned
by the police,

and this is starting
to feel a lot like that.

Why are you accusing me
all of a sudden?

No, I'm not!

What exactly is it
you're looking for here?

I'm sorry.

This was probably
a bad idea.

You're right.
It was.

Jason!

Don't sweat it, okay?

We all learn
from our mistakes.

I just won't make
this one again.

Hold!

I said no flats, Becky.

I need to be 100% sure
you can walk in heels.

Mona, take it easy.

Reset!

I think I feel
a migraine coming on,

so I'm just gonna
take a quick break.

Do any of you guys have
an extra ticket for tonight?

Did you change your mind
about Caleb?

- It's for my dad.
- He's still in town?

Yep, and he's in no rush
to get home to Isabel.

What does that
even mean?

There's no way your mom and dad
are getting back together.

Aria Montgomery!

Less talking,
more walking.

Um!

Are your legs
always that short?

Mona is five feet
of insidious snark

with a side ponytail,
and I just --

I wanna grab it,

and I wanna yank it
really, really hard.

Spence, she stepped up while you
dealt with some pretty big things,

things that were
way out of your control,

but, look, maybe we should
both enjoy the fact

that those
pretty big things are over.

We can both take a breath.

Yeah, you're right.

Oh, did you figure out what's
going on with your dad yet?

It's not even worth
a recap.

Where's your dress?

Being delivered
as we speak.

Will you try it on?

- I trust you.
- Way too much.

I need to see
how it falls.

She's not gonna let up until
she knows that it's perfect.

Hey, I'm Quinn.

- Hey, nice to meet you.
- Same here.

Why don't you guys go take a
seat while I get dressed?

Looks like
a big crowd out there.

May end up
sitting on your lap.

Wouldn't be
the first time, right?

We'll be back
in a few.

Did they seem a little
touchy-feely to you?

A little.

How come I have no date,

and you have a date
who brought a date?

You have a date.
You just didn't ask him to come.

Donations are over here,
and... enjoy your evening.

Hi, welcome.

You look amazing.

Thank you.

Where's your headset?
Here, just take mine.

I need you to track down the tribute
slideshow disc and give it to Noel, okay?

- I want to --
- Take a breath.

Mm-hmm.

How can I just
leave her?

I think that's what
I'm struggling with.

I would feel like I'm
just quitting my job.

I think Emily
can handle it

if you let her.

Well, I'd really like
to reconnect with Wayne.

He's been gone
for so long.

You'd be surprised
how quickly

you can settle back
into your groove.

Oh, look, there's
Jessica DeLaurentis.

This must
be so hard for her.

Noel.

Do you want to take
a final look?

No, I'm sure it's fine.

- Peter...
- You need to have control.

Em?

Do you need help
getting into your dress?

I bet Samara's gonna be here
in a little bit.

I've got it.

We need some bubbly.

I'm gonna go hijack
some champagne.

Are you -- are you sure
that's a good idea?

I'll be right back.

Tom?

Hi.

Don't beat
yourself up.

Hanna's sorting through
a lot right now.

No... no, that's my fault.

I keep crashing
in and out of her life,

unexpected.

Can't patch a hole
like that with...

...ginger stir-fry.

You look great tonight.

Thank you.

I never complimented
you enough.

Well, I wouldn't say it's the
worst thing you ever did.

Fair enough.

I feel like
we're beyond that.

You do?

Yes. I really do.

lucky dress.

Emily, what's wrong?

You and Quinn are
just friends, right?

Since the second grade.

We used
to play dress-up.

I was missus, and she
was always mister.

Would it bother you if
I were seeing someone?

Not that I am,
but if I were?

I was just starting to feel
like we may have something.

Me too.

But we've only
been out a few times, and...

You didn't want to get
too serious too fast.

Right. I did say that.

I'm gonna go
get ready.

See you out there.

You okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Okay, last looks, people!

Ladies, I need my first
three models lined up!

I'll get your dress.

Thanks.

I'll do touch-ups.

I think I saw Caleb
out there.

Caleb? Did you
change your mind?

I didn't ask him
to come.

Open.

So he just
showed up?

Looking
really hot.

Hmm, didn't
notice. Blot.

Hanna, he wants
you back.

You want him back.
What's the problem?

We are not gonna be angry at you

Can I walk you home?

there's a section

- Can we get out of here?
- I'm right behind you.

I just gotta grab
my stuff.

Did you want
this back?

I'd hate to leave
something lying around

that could get you
and your friends in trouble.

I assumed
that was yours.

What's that?

The unplanned finale.

Hand it over.

I was worried
you didn't eat,

so I brought
you something.

Honey, I'm so sorry
about what happened tonight.

I can't believe anyone
would be that cruel.

They probably
think that --

No, no one thinks you girls
are responsible for that.

You could see it
in your faces.

You guys were as stunned
as the rest of us.

Thanks.

Mom, when you
and dad were dating,

did you see other people?

Well, we had that
conversation very early on,

but I made it clear
that if it was gonna be me,

it could only be me.

Thanks.

You know, Emily,
when you mentioned

my leaving and you
joining us in the summer,

well, I've been thinking
a lot about that, and...

maybe it could work.

What?

Well, I spoke to Hanna's
mom, and she said

that she could
look after you.

You mean I could stay
with them?

If you want to.

To be honest, your dad and
me being apart so much,

it's really,
really hard on us.

So you're saying I could stay in
Rosewood until I finish the semester?

But only if you're
comfortable, honey.

Only if you're
comfortable,

and if you have
second thoughts --

No, I'm fine.
You should go.

You and dad
need each other.

I took a lot of pictures.

You looked beautiful.

Whoever hijacked that --

Aren't you supposed
to be at your hotel...

Packing?

No. No, I'm supposed
to be right here making sure

you got home safely
from what happened tonight.

Mom's upstairs.

Had to talk her down from forming
up a posse on the way home.

So, what did
happen tonight?

I saw you with mom.

You were right.

I guess it took you yelling at me
before I could see it myself.

What does that mean?

Well...

It means no more excuses.

It means I'm not ready
to go home yet.

There's some things I have
to work out with your mom,

and I can only do that
if I stay here.

Then I'll see
you tomorrow.

Okay.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Salty?

Sweet.

But don't tell
your mother, okay?

Whoa, you look beat.

Why don't you go
get some rest?

Dad?

Yeah?

What's going on between
you and Mrs. DeLaurentis?

I saw you two
together tonight,

and you looked upset.

Why do you care
that Jason's moved back?

Look, this isn't something for
you to worry about, Spencer,

but for the time being,

you stay away
from Jason DeLaurentis,

all right?

Pretty sure your mom
doesn't want this back.

How many times do we
have to put her away?

It's like burying
Alison all over again.

Every time we start
to make peace with it,

someone has to go
and say something ugly

about her death,
about her life.

When are people gonna move on
to gawk at the next tragedy?

Well, if I was a stranger, I'd be
fascinated with the dark details.

That's us.

Brother, her friends.

We're the dark details.

Why come back?

Why live in that house
all by yourself?

Wanted to try and put
the pieces together.

I was looking
for something.

You still don't know
who wrote that note.

What if it has to do with
what happened that night?

I have my answer.

Ian...

- I mean, what if he --
- There are no ifs.

Ian confessed.

Look, from now I,
I need to figure out

how to be happy, and...

I'd like to do that here.

Um... can I drop
you somewhere?

Yeah.

Yeah, I could use
a ride home.
