3. The Talented Mr. Rollins

Complete story — includes the ending

Elliott’s lies are so numerous that the girls don’t seem to know one real thing about him. Emily starts working as a bartender at The Radley. She promises Sabrina that the incident with Ezra’s key was not an accurate representation of her character, and Sabrina agrees to give Emily a second chance. Hanna wears a replica engagement ring to hide her break-up with Jordan. Caleb confesses his recent infidelity to Spencer. Hanna and Caleb both maintain that the moment was just that, but Spencer isn’t convinced. She’s tired of being in love with someone whose attention feels impermanent. Elliott repeatedly overpowers, sedates, and physically restrains Alison. The liars present their concerns to the head doctor at Welby. He checks on Alison but finds no evidence that her care is being mishandled. Elliott’s connection to Mary remains a mystery. Spencer offers to get Toby on the case but changes her mind when she sees the ring on Yvonne’s finger. Desperate to rescue Alison, Emily goes to Toby herself. Toby searches a police database and finds a brief record of Elliott Rollins from 1958. Spencer hears from Jason who, it turns out, had no idea that Alison was hospitalized. Aria takes pictures of everything inside Elliott’s storage bench. Spencer analyzes the photos and takes note of the materials Elliott used to pose as Detective Wilden. She also recognizes a stimulant that can cause hallucinations if overdosed. Aria and Hanna go to Amish country to confirm another of Elliott’s lies. A young girl claims that Elliott and Charlotte were romantically involved. She has a set of dolls that Charlotte gifted her, each with the name and face of one of the liars. Aria pushes for Hanna to open up about her abduction, but Hanna is afraid to recount the experience. She ends up revealing a small piece of what A.D. put her through after seeing a cattle prod at the Amish farm. Elliott realizes his storage bench has been tampered with. He quickly packs up and smuggles Alison out of Welby. Alison covertly shares her location, and the girls drive into the woods with Hanna at the wheel. When Elliott pops a tire, Alison takes the opportunity to run. He chases after her on foot, Hanna hits the brakes too late, and Elliott flies head-first through the windshield of Lucas’s car.
