11. No One Here Can Love or Understand Me

Complete story — includes the ending

The girls are headed for the police station when a message from ‘A’ stops them in their tracks. A bunch of TV screens display photos of Alison visiting Hanna in the hospital after Camp Mona. The accompanying message, “We’re all in this together,” sends a clear warning: if Alison goes down, ‘A’ will take the girls down, too. It’s starting to feel like ‘A’ and Alison have very similar motivations. Emily gives Ezra one of Noel’s photos. It shows Alison at an ATM with a man whose back is to the camera. Ezra later returns to Emily with another photo from the same security camera, but this one shows that the man is Cyrus Petrillo. Mona is invited on a Montgomery family trip to the theater as Mike’s date. Aria whispers something hateful to Mona during the movie, and Mona excuses herself. Later, Aria finds her crying in the restroom. Mona says that Aria got her sharp tongue from Alison. She warns Aria that Alison will turn on her without a second thought. Hanna notices that Caleb hasn’t committed to staying sober with her. She and Spencer enlist Toby’s help in hopes that he will be able to get through to Caleb. Unfortunately, Toby’s intervention skills are subpar, and Caleb isn’t receptive. Unwilling to give up, Hanna confronts Caleb later that night, and he finally tells her about Ravenswood. Melissa has gone to London without warning, leaving Spencer a “goodbye” note and a video. In it, Melissa explains what happened the night Alison went missing. She describes seeing Spencer with a shovel, and later finding a blonde girl in a yellow top on the ground. Melissa assumed that Spencer struck and killed Alison. She buried the girl to protect Spencer, but realizes now that she buried Bethany Young alive. Detective Tanner has started asking what the girls know about Bethany, and it seems like they’ve all become suspects. Knowing this, Spencer decides to share Melissa’s video with the others. Things are definitely getting messy, and to top it all off, Alison has agreed to a police interview.
