    The person in the bathroom turned on the sink faucets and left a toy boat in the water. Hanna gets a text from A: "Life is but a dream, Hanna. And I'm your nightmare."

    Aria tells Spencer she's thinking of taking Holden to a play she was supposed to see with Ezra. The plan is to "accidentally" run into Ezra.

    Caleb tells Hanna that Lucas is telling his parents he's staying with his cousin, but he doesn't think that's true. Caleb wants to help and plans to go looking for him up near Spencer's lake house. Hanna won't tell him what happened on the boat and they get into a fight.

    Spencer and Aria don't find much and Aria leaves. Spencer starts to notice a bunch of blind people.

    Maya gets a text message that clearly bugs her. She needs to "deal with" something.

    Spencer follows the blind people to a rehab center for the blind. Inside she asks about Jenna. The woman behind the front desk won't tell her anything, but a guy hears Spencer mention Jenna and says he knows her.

    Hanna and Emily talk to each other about their problems with their significant others. Emily's worried A may have gotten to Maya.

    The Young man tells Spencer he when a genetic condition finally took his sight he didn't handle it very well. He was angry and depressed and Jenna helped pull him out of it. He mentions she was motivated to get out of there to handle some business in Rosewood. On her way out Spencer is told she must sign the guestbook. When the woman at the front desk leaves her post Spencer goes behind the desk and grabs one of the old guestbooks.

    Emily is taking Maya to Jersey and borrows Aria's fake ID. Hanna tells the girls about her fight with Caleb and why she can't tell him what's really going on. Aria debates cancelling on Holden, but Hanna talks her out of it.

    Spencer runs into Mona when she gets off the train in Rosewood. Mona is emotional, telling her that Noel broke up with her. Spencer gives her a pep talk and Mona thanks her.

    At the intermission the teacher tells Aria she took Ezra's extra's ticket, but that he left ten minutes into the play, saying he didn't feel well.

    Hanna can't get in touch with Caleb and is starting to worry. There is a noise and she finds a back door open. It looks like the lock is just broken, but we see footprints.

    Maya admits to Emily that she's been acting so weird because she briefly dated somebody when she was away. The relationship is over, but Maya has been worried this would upset Emily. Since they were broken up at the time it doesn't seem to be an issue But Emily looks stunned when Maya says the person was a "he."

    Holden figures out that Aria took him there to see Ezra. He says he won't say anything to her parents, and even suggests there could be an opportunity here.

    When Hanna goes to the hallway to answer her mother's question, a dark figure goes into her bedroom. It's Lucas. Caleb arrives just in time to hear that what has been bothering Lucas is that he gambled away the $4,000 Caleb had him hold while he was gone. Lucas disappeared the past few days selling comic books to try and pay Lucas back. He feels terrible, but Hanna is obviously disturbed this means A is still out there.

    The girls get Chinese food and talk about the latest news. Lucas couldn't have been the person who dropped the cell phone at the green house. Spencer shows them the sign-in book from the rehab center the day before Alison went missing. Garrett checked Jenna out and there was no time listed for he to be signed back in. Jenna could have been gone all night. The girls find their food is full of worms. A sends another text: "This is what live bait looks like. Now we're even bitches."
