Spencer pulls Marco aside and preemptively shuts down the idea of exploring a relationship. Aria is afraid Ezra would regret proposing if he knew the trouble she’s gotten into recently. Hanna remembers feeling the same way with Jordan, but she thinks Ezra can handle the truth. In the spirit of honesty, Hanna comes clean about her break-up with Jordan. Aria tells Ezra what happened to Archer, and the two make their engagement official. Caleb admits that his feelings for Hanna aren’t entirely gone. Spencer gives Caleb credit for restarting her heart when she thought it would never beat again. Hanna and Spencer discuss their break-ups, and Spencer encourages Hanna to reach out to Caleb. Mary is surprised and touched to hear that Charlotte used to go by “Drake.” She swears she never saw Charlotte after the day she was born.

Mary hides out in her room at The Lost Woods, as she expects Archer to come after her for flipping. Emily confronts Jenna directly about her involvement with Archer.

Jenna prevents Sara from delivering a warning to Emily, and Sara’s dead body is later found in the hotel shower. Alison has a hard time being around her friends now that she knows they turned her in to A.D. The patrol officer outside Alison’s house is replaced by an assailant in a latex mask, and Alison narrowly keeps her life in the attack. She realizes with embarrassment how easily she fell for A.D.’s trick to separate her from her support system. The only way to be sure that Archer is dead is to return to the scene of the crime. Hanna and Spencer bring their shovels to the woods and confirm Archer is right where they left him, being eaten by the maggots.
