Summary of "If at First You don't Succeed, Lie, Lie Again

Here's a little recap of last nights all new Pretty Little Liars. The four girls slept over Spencers house and were awakened to Aria telling them something about the picture A had sent them. Hanna's dealing with her moms money issues throughout the beginning of the episode. Aria's part of the episode ties in with Hanna's. Hanna gets a note from A saying that if she wants more money she needs to tell Aria's mom about her secret relationship with Ezra. Hanna is left on whether to get back the money her mother stole or to break her friendship with Aria. Aria's part of the episode deals with her trying to find a way to go on a date with Ezra. Spencer gets her two tickets to a new art museum that is opening in Philidelphia. Ella gets a ticket from the "school PTA" (really Hanna) to go to the art museum too. Her car breaks down and not knowing what to do she calls Byron. In the end Byron drives her to the museum and they share a kiss in the car. Spencer deals with finding out who the person in the shadow of the picture really is. She hears that Jason is back in town and goes to see if he knows. He tells her that he used to get high with a bunch of friends and he would do things he didn't even now about. Emily's stuck dealing with a jealous team mate through out the episode. Lindsay Shaw (10 Things I Hate About You, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide) guest stars as Paige. She is trying to get the position of team captain. Unfortunately the coach thinks that Emily deserves the position more since she always works hard. As an attempt to push Emily out of the position she bribes everyone to make her captain by giving out beaded bracelets saying "Go Sharks". In the end the four girls discover that the bracelet was made at the same place Ali made the friendship ones last year and the fake one they found in the woods. Spencer goes to investigate what's going on and finds that someone used her name to put in the records of purchases. Back at Spencer's house she has a flashback of the night Ali disappeared. She saw herself fighting with Ali and wishing Ali would just drop dead. Realizing what she had just said, Spencer ran out to find Ali and apologize. She told the other three that the shadow was most probably hers when she was chasing Ali. They all ran to the window and looked out in Ali's old back yard. When they looked at the window to her old room they saw Jason looking out the window staring at them. The episode ends with the clerk at the beading bracelet shop talking to a mystery person saying that she did exactly what he/she told her to.
