Plot

Spencer (Troian Bellisario) steals a hard drive on Lucas (Brendan Robinson) from Marco's (Nicholas Gonzalez) apartment about Lucas' alibi confession to the police the night Archer was killed. "A.D." sends Aria (Lucy Hale) to destroy Alison (Sasha Pieterse) and Emily's (Shay Mitchell) nursery, while wearing the black "A" hoodie. She almost gets caught by Emily and is forced to flee. In Hanna's (Ashley Benson) turn at the game, A.D. makes her pick up something at the computer repair shop and bring it to Rosewood High School. The Liars have a confrontation with Lucas where he explains to them that he didn't know Charles and Charlotte were the same person, or that Charlotte was “A.” They only stayed friends over email. A second comic book exists and this one depicts turning vengeance into a game. The girls find the nursery and Emily realizes that "A.D." must have a helper who was destroying the nursery while they were at the high school. Aria breaks down in remorse after her plot to destroy the nursery. Meanwhile, Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) and Hanna return to Lucas's loft with the hard drive Hanna picked up based on “A.D.”s instructions. The audio file contains a Patsy Cline song. Hanna remembers that “A” played a different Patsy song back in the Dollhouse. Alison finally admits her feelings to Emily and shares a kiss with her.
