As we walked towards the bench dedicated to Alison, the weight of the recent events lingered in the air. Emily's question about Hanna's car escapade brought a touch of humor, but we couldn't escape the shadows of A's presence.Emily: How bad did your mom bust you over wrecking Sean's car?
Hanna: I did not wreck it, I damaged it, and actually, everyone's being really mature about it.
Hailee: Oh...
Hanna: There is no "Oh," we're just being grown-ups that's all.
Aria's update on the town's plans for the memorial bench brought a glimmer of positivity..
Aria: Okay, so the town is gonna put the new bench, and flowers will be planted in the flower beds, and there's going to be a pathway of art tiles.
Spencer: Art tiles? She asked, puzzled.
Emily: Messages, pictures, memories of Alison.
Hanna: Oh like little headstones.
Hailee: Hanna! I warned her
Hanna: What!
Emily: we should each do a tile.
However, Hanna's reluctance to keep Alison's bracelet reminded us that the scars of the past were still fresh
Hanna: You know, I have had the bracelet since the day we found it in the woods, and I don't want the responsibility anymore.
She attempted to pass the bracelet to one of us.
Aria: I don't want it.
Hanna: Seriously, somebody take this.
Hanna's gesture turned into a poignant reminder of our shared history and the pain we carried. Spencer took the bracelet, and the exchange revealed our collective struggle with letting go of the past.
Spencer: Look at us, a bunch of babies!
We shared guilty glances, acknowledging that we had acted like kids throughout this whole ordeal.
Spencer: There's nothing that A can say or do to get us into trouble without making trouble for herself.
Despite our attempts to move forward, Spencer's mention of A brought the reality crashing down. We needed to confront the anonymous tormentor who had plagued us.
Hanna: You sure it's a "her"?
Spencer: Him, her doesn't make any difference.
She said then grabbing her computer looking at me, I understood and took it from her.
Aria: What are you two doing?
Hailee: I'm gonna block all messages from people we don't know. IM, texts, emails everything. Screw A.
Spencer: Who's next?
She asked as she smiled proudly at me. I had some skill in hacking thanks to all the research I made to find my birth family. With determination, we decided to take control and block A out of our lives. As we enjoyed a moment of triumph, the appearance of Mr. Fitz on his bike added a lighthearted touch to the afternoon.
Spencer: I spy with my little eyes something that begins with F.
Hanna: Hey Mr. Fitz.
Mr.Fitz made a hand signal to our direction.
Hailee: Looking good Mr. Fitz!
We said kiddingly
Aria takes the computer really fast as the mention of his name. Weird.
