Hannah informs her Mom and Emily that Lucas called his parents so he is alive. Hannah's mom is infuriated since Hannah was the one responsible for Lucas disappearing. Clearly, they're not filling Sydney, I mean Hannah's mom in on the whole story.
Spencer shows the girls all the proof that "A" has been pretty much using Spencer's lake house for an 'evil lair.' She even finds a receipt. Oh "A," you're getting so sloppy. They decide to go investigate the giver of the receipt, Smitty's, in Philly.
Aria fills in Spencer on her plan to use Holden as a scape goat to see Ezra. Then Holden appears and asks Aria out for real but she rejects him but he says that he called her parents for permission to take her out. Spencer enjoys the awkward moment but Aria accepts.
Mona is suspicious of Noel's behavior but Hannah is still distracted by Lucas disappearance but Mona doesn't care. She is worried she's losing Noel. Hannah sees her homecoming queen photo being removed as the school thinks it's bad PR for a 'juvenile delinquent' to be their queen. Mona is annoyed that she's not even listening to her and tell what a bad friend she is. Hannah goes into the bathroom and cries. She hears someone come in the bathroom but no one answers her. The bathroom begins flooding and Hannah sees a model of the boat she was in with Lucas floating in the sink. She gets a text from "A" that says "Life is but a dream but I'm your nightmare."
Emily gets an anonymous call but soon figures out it's Maya. Maya asks if they're still on for a date that night. She asks if they can get fake ID's so they can truly enjoy the evening.
Spencer and Aria plan on their trip to Philly but Spencer is annoyed with the lack of reception on her phone in the courtyard of the school. (Such problems these girls have) Aria decides to take Holden to a play that she knows Ezra is going to see in hopes that he'll be there. And they decide to get moving.
Caleb and Hannah discuss Lucas who called his parents but didn't want to talk to Caleb. He told his parents they're staying with his cousin but Caleb called his cousin and Lucas isn't there. Caleb really wants to help but Hannah is discouraging his interference. Especially since Caleb wants to go back to the lake house. Caleb wants to know the truth about what happened in the boat and gets pissed at her continually lying to him. (He's so hot) Caleb storms out...tight t-shirt and all. Mona texts Hannah and tells her they need to talk.
Aria and Spencer walk around Philly which in no way looks like a back lot set at all. Smitty's turns out to be a news stand with magazines on the receipt...and yet they can't figure out where to go. Pretty, not Smart Little Liars. Aria points out that Spencer's sister Melissa lives a few blocks from where they are...and yet that's not suspicious? Again, pretty...
Spencer notices a blind girl with a seeing eye dog, and then another blind guy walk by. She wanders around and finds a blind rehab center. Spencer tries to poke around and ask if Jenna is involved there but gets no assistance. Blind dude overhears her and tells Spencer that he knows Jenna.
Emily shows Maya around the crisis center. Maya gets a text and does not look happy about it but doesn't share the content. Maya has to 'deal with it' and says she will meet Emily later. Pause for look of concern at the camera...
Hannah's at home still out out damn spotting the water bottle that had the lake water in it. Emily let's Hannah know about Maya's mysterious text messages. Hannah gets defensive and tells her that everyone needs a little bit of privacy. Misplaced anger, anyone? Since they are in opposite positions, they abandoned their discussion for the time being.
Spencer converses with blind guy who tells Spencer how Jenna was basically his hero because of how motivated and focused she was. They lost touch though because Jenna needed to 'get back home and do things.' He volunteers at the rehab now to give back the inspiration Jenna gave him. He senses that something is weird because he can sense her pulse racing when he shakes her hand since Jenna taught him that trick as she's so good at reading people. Spencer tries to leave but lady at desk makes her sign in the book. As she goes to do so, she takes her chance to look at the records and find out if Jenna was there and steals a record book.
Aria lends Emily her fake ID for Maya even though Aria looks nothing like Maya. Paranoid Hannah locks all the windows and doors since Aria and Emily are both going out. They encourage her to call Mona to come spend the night with her since she and Caleb are fighting. Aria and Emily both offer to cancel their plans but Hannah won't let them.
Aria arrives for her date with Holden. She unfortunately is beginning to really enjoy his company. She grabs her tickets and sees Ezra arriving. They share a very not subtle glance and Aria walks towards him in slow motion but Holden finds her and Ezra gets his ticket and goes inside. Holden's not a fool, Aria. Or is he? A lot of people on this show are so...
Suddenly Spencer is in Philly in the dark and the ghetto and is scared. Mona shows up out of nowhere and scares her. Mona breaks down and tells Spencer that Noel broke up with her and Hanna won't return her calls. Spencer tells her that she's way better than Noel but Mona tells her how hard it was just to get Noel. But Spencer tells her to woMAN up and Mona appreciates her encouragement and thanks her genuinely.
Holden and Aria run into one of their teachers who is complimentary in their interest in live theatre. Aria realizes that she is there with Ezra. She lets Aria know that he left early because he was sick. Aria is gravely disappointed.
Hannah's mom tries to reach out to her but she denies her and repeatedly calls Caleb to try and make up. He won't take her calls though and she expresses her concern on his voicemail. Uh oh. Noise in the kitchen....who could it be? Open door...Hannah can't get it shut...but there are footprints. Someone is in the house!
Maya and Emily wait in line to get into a club and Maya gets yet another mysterious text message. Maya is about to confess something and Emily tells her to take her time in telling her to try and be the cool girlfriend. However, Maya confesses anyway that she hooked up with someone while they were apart. Emily's cool with it but Maya apologizes for not being completely honest because relationships can't begin on lies. Emily confirms that it's over but apparently HE won't take no for an answer. OK, Emily isn't OK that it was a 'he.'
At the theatre, Holden calls Aria out on her not so subtle looks at Ezra. She apologizes and asks him not to rat her out to her parents. Holden obliges and tells her that he has secrets too. And he agrees to maybe be her accomplice in her relationship with Ezra.
Someone's in Hannah's room...it's Lucas! Caleb arrives...and notices that someone snuck in the house. She subtly calls Caleb and he realizes that Lucas is in the house with her. Caleb finds her in time. Caleb wants to know what the fuck is going on. He confesses to the both of them that Lucas lost Caleb's money and he was terrified to tell them. Caleb is furious. Lucas bet on a basketball tournament and lost it all. (Seriously, PLL?) He pulls cash out of his pocket and gives it all to Lucas. It's not all of it, but it's what he had. He's been selling all of his classic comic books. Hannah tells Lucas he isn't who she thought he was...but that's a relief.
She tells the girls the truth and clears Lucas of all of their 'charges.' Spencer shows the girls the blind rehab log book. They realize that Allison did not in fact, visit her at the rehab center. But Garrett did which doesn't give them an alibi for the night Allison went missing. They open up their Chinese food that Emily picked up and it is filled with dirt and maggots. Oh, it's a text from "A." "This is what live bait looks like. Now, we're even, bitches." I love that "A" signs everything bitches.
Pretty lame Lucas plotline kids. We can do better than that. I mean I know Lucas was a diversion from the real "A" but gambling? Really?
