SEASON TWO EPISODE ONE

CRUEL
SUMMER

"Ugh, my brain is numb from all those cop questions" Hanna complained, as the girls sat on Spencer's floor, surrounded by pillows and blankets.

It's been two days since Sabrina was discharged from the hospital and there girls spent all day yesterday questioned repeatedly.

"I don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for A" Spencer realized as Sabrina sits silent, watching her best friend snuggle up with her sleeping daughter.

"A killed lan to keep you here". Aria says lying on Spencer couch.

"I'm sorry but that's not a comforting thought" Hanna told Spencer.

"A gives, so she can take, we know that" Emily said rising her eyebrows,

"So what's the bitch gonna ask for?" Hanna asked.

"Whatever it is, I don't think we can afford it" Spencer replied, rubbing her eyes in tiredness.

"Spence, you didn't see anything?" Aria asked curiously.

"I saw a black hoddie, black boots and gloves" Spencer recalled.

"Are we sure?" Hanna asked, slightly apprehensive.

"A sees everything, Hanna" Spencer replied.

"I'm starting to think we should tell someone about her, him, it" Emily said,
"What's the worst thing that can happen?"

"Jason goes to jail" Sabrina responds starting blankly at the wall.

"A knows all of our secrets" Spencer reminded Emily.

"Yeah, if people find out, we'll always be those girls who blinded Jenna Marshall" Hanna added.

"And now we're those girls who are afraid of A" Emily retorted.

"No, Em, I mean, you're right, but, look, we have so much to lose" Aria said.

"Like my daughter and the father of my child" Sabrina added sadly.

"I feel like I have a hangover and I never even went to the party" Hanna sighed.

"We need caffeine" Spencer said, about to stand up but Aria grabbed her arm stopping Spencer from standing up.

"No offense, but can I make it?" Aria asks with a small smile as Sabrina stands and walk over to Spencer to pick up her daughter.

"Seriously?" Spencer asks shocked.

"I'm with Aria" Emily said, removing her blanket from her lap.

"Yeah, sorry, Spence, but your coffee gives me the shakes" Hanna said, as the girls stood up.

"She's not wrong, Mr. King thought I was on drugs once when I drank coffee you made" Sabrina laughed, kissing her daughter's head.

Since Jason dropped the girl off yesterday, Sabrina hasn't let the girl out off her sight.

"Amateurs" Spencer said, following her friends downstairs.

As the five girls made their way downstairs, they were all confused seeing their parents gathered in the Hasting's living room.

"What's going on?" Aria asked confused, as the girls stopped at the stairs, not liking the looks their parents were giving them.

"Mom?" Hanna asked.

"Uh, Veronica, since this is your idea" Ashley told Veronica, who nodded and turned to the girls.
"The accusations you made about lan have cast a bright spotlight on all of you" Veronica informed,
"Spencer is still a person of interest in Alison's murder investigation and now the police seem to think that you four are also involved"

"lan killed Alison, okay?" Spencer snapped, walking down the remaining stairs, "And last night he tried to kill me"

"Are we going to ignore that he fucking stabbed me?" Sabrina asks shocked walking towards the fridge.

"Honey? Let me take her your gonna hurt you side more" Veronica says holding her hands out to the Diaz girl.

"We were all there, we told you everything that we saw" Aria exclaimed looking at her parents for answers.

"We heard you" Ella assured her daughter and Sabrina scoffed.

"You heard but you don't care" Sabrina exclaimed, handing the bottle to Spencer mother who begins to feed the baby.

"We don't need to rehash what we talked about last night" Byron said, "This is about moving forward".

"And while the police sort through this we want you girls to see a grief counselor" Veronica said as Peter tries not to look at the baby in his wife's arms.

"She's a therapist who can help you deal with Alison's death" Ella added as Sabrina sits on the couch far away from them.

"And what appears to the police to be an obsession with trying to pin her death on lan" Veronica said patting Everly's back once she finished eating.

"You think we're lying?" Emily asked shocked.

"Emily, I believe you but it's the way it looks that concerns us". Pam assured her daughter.

"No, you think we're lying, just like those fucking cops who questioned me in the hospital" Sabrina yells out standing up again,

"Sabrina Diaz" The moms scolded out as Sabrina lifts her shirt, showing the bandages.

"Let me guess you think I did this to myself or maybe Spencer tried to kill me" Sabrina laughs in shock.

"This is a preemptive strike and the goal is to garner both police and public sympathy" Veronica said handing the baby to Ella.

"Well, I'm not going to a shrink" Hanna stated, "I mean, that's what friends are for".

"You can't be the only one who doesn't go" Ashley told her daughter.

"She isn't because I'm not going either" Sabrina told them.

"Bri, maybe you'll get more out of it than you think" Ella said to her niece.

"No I'm not going to a damn therapist because you wanna believe someone who got my brother and Jason addicted to fucking drugs!" Sabrina snapped.

"We're not--" Peter started but stopped when he sees Sabrina glaring at him.

"Don't you fucking lie to me" Sabrina snapped as Ella stands up handing Everly to Byron as they watched the girls hands shake.

"He's Ian Thomas poster boy yet you didn't know what he really was like" Sabrina sarcastically replied.

"Sabrina"

"Do you even believe us? I know I've lied about Eves dad and the affair but I would never lie when someone tries to kill me" Sabrina stares at her aunt.

"I wouldn't leave my daughter like my parents and Derek left me" Sabrina added as Ella and Byron stay silent.

Sabrina nods when she doesn't respond and walks around grabbing her daughter from Byron

"Let's just ignore the fact Ian killed Ali and tried to kill Spencer and I  so we don't look like liars anymore because we say because he married your daughter oh a we can ignore the fact Peter can't look at my daughter without going white in the fact" Sabrina scoffed and walks back up stairs with the other girls joining her not much later.

CRUEL
SUMMER

"Are you sure you two sure you wanna be here today? I mean you guys can stay home another day" Ella asks as the three walk into school.

"Yeah, would that be your home or ours?" Aria asks as Sabrina stays silent, still pissed after yesterday.

"We have had the chance to talk but umm i heard what you said to me about your dad" Ella says looking down at her hands and sighs.

"Mom" Aria says looping her arm through Ella's "I'm so sorry you didn't deserve that"

"Maybe I did you said exactly what I needed to hear" Ella admits stopping in the hallway to face the two "and umm your dad and I wanted to talk to you two and Mike about this tonight but I think you could use some good news"

"We don't have to go to therapy?" Sabrina bitterly asks.

"No, I'm gonna move back in" Ella tells them and Aria smiles brightly before it falls.

"You're not just doing this for us right?" Aria questions as Sabrina scoffs and walks away angrily.

CRUEL
SUMMER

Sabrina, Spencer, Aria, Emily and Hanna all entered the classroom and everyone goes quiet as they stare before they start to whisper as Aria points to the blackboard where a hangman figure was drawn with the word liars underneath

Sabrina rolls her eyes as she moves to her seat.

"Liar" A Sydney a girl on the cheer team coughs into her hand and Sabrina stops, dropping her bag on her desk and turns around grabbing the girls ponytail.

"Got something to say Sydney? Sabrina asks glaring at the girl.

No" Sydney denies as winches in pain at the grip Sabrina has on her hair.

"No, you said something what did you say?" Sabrina exclaimed angrily.

"I called you a liar" Sydney says and people giggled.

"You should know about lies given the fact your dad been banging your babysitter since you were two" Sabrina says and everyone turns to Sydney who shakes her head.

"I may be wounded but I still can beat all your asses Got it?" Sabrina yells out letting go of the girls hair as Mr.Fitz enters the room.

After sharing a brief eye contact with Aria, he turned to the blackboard, once his eyes landed on the context, he wasted no time in starting to rub it off.

"You need some help with that, Mr. Fitz?" Noel asked, entering the classroom, making all the students gasp in excitement, all except the five girls.

"You can take your seat, Mr. Kahn" Ezra simply said.

Noel smirked and proceeded to take his seat which was in between Sabrina and Aria who wouldn't look at him.

"Miss me?" Sabrina hears Noel ask, she turns catching his attention.

"We kinda of hoped you'd jump into a volcano already" Sabrina answered loudly.

"Oh I'm gonna say that was an accident cause you're hurt because I know you love me" Noel said, sarcasm evident in his voice.

"No the only accident I know was born sixteen years ago and I'm currently looking at it" Sabrina says causing Hanna and Mona to burst out in laughter.

CRUEL
SUMMER

Sabrina and Hanna walk towards Hanna's locker ignoring the whispers and looks from three girls but one thing catches Sabrina's attention.

"I heard the Sabrina and Spencer were fighting over Ian because he was the father of Sabrina's kid" A girl whispered and Sabrina turns to snap when a voice stopped her.

"I don't know what's more pathetic people who gossip or people who listen to gossip" Mona says stopping next to Hanna.

"Oh definitely people who listen to gossip because I would never touch Ian with a ten foot pole fyi Ian's not my daughter's dad" Sabrina added.

"And it's none of your business who Sabrina gets naughty with" Mona glares and the three girls walk away.

"Look at Susie Lipton strutting her bony ass in those skinny jeans, I heard she lose all that weight drinking breast milk"Mona says watching Susie walk away.

"What?" Hanna asks shocked.

"Boob Milk, Hanna you know the milk I feed Eve it comes from these" Sabrina tells the girl places her hands on her breast.

"You can buy it online" Mona chuckles turning to Sabrina "Can i ask something?"

"What?" Sabrina questions nervously.

"Does it hurt?" Mona wonders causing Sabrina to look confused "Breast Feeding?"

"Not really, when they're full yeah but the baby feeding doesn't hurt unless they have teeth that when you'd switch to bottles" Sabrina admits and Mona nods.

"I'm gonna go I've got to change my bandages I'll see you guys later" Sabrina tells them before kissing Hanna's cheeks and walks towards her aunt classroom.

CRUEL
SUMMER

After much forcing from their parents and another argument between Sabrina and the parents, the five girls finally agreed to attend group therapy sessions, currently they all sat in Dr. Sullivan's office in awkward silence, waiting for a late Hanna to arrive.

"Sorry, I'm late, but have you been downtown?" Hanna asked, finally entering the office with multiple shopping bags in her hands, "The sales are huge".

"You must be Hanna, I'm Anne" Dr. Sullivan introduced.

"So what'd I miss?" Hanna asked her friends.

"Absolutely nothing" Sabrina replied, sitting on the floor where Everly sits playing with her toys.

"We waited for you" Spencer informed, the girls knew the only reason Hanna came late was because she was
hoping she wouldn't have to participate in this therapy session.

"Damn" Hanna says sadly before sitting next to Emily.

CRUEL
SUMMER

"It sounds like you credit Alison for the friendship" Dr.Sullivan said.

"We became friends because of her" Emily informed and Sabrina rolled her eyes.

"But she's gone and the five of you still seem very close" Dr. Sullivan noticed.

"We weren't always" Emily said.

"After Ali went missing, we all just kind of lost touch with each other" Aria said.

"Some of us did, I tried to keep in contact with everyone but they got busy the only person who actually tried was Hanna" Sabrina says as she rubs Everly's back while she sleeps against her mothers chest.

"What brought you back together?" Dr. Sullivan asked curiously, causing the girls to look between each other, "You don't all have to agree, there are no right or wrong answers"

"Her death" Spencer finally spoke.

"She means when they, when they found her" Aria clarified.

"When they found her body" Emily further clarified.

"Do you think you were looking for closure?" Dr. Sullivan asked.

"We were looking for answers" Spencer replied.

"The answer to who murdered Alison" Dr. Sullivan concluded, "The five of you don't have to go through this alone, this is a safe place to talk, nothing you say here goes beyond these walls".

"Do we? Do we want to talk about that thing?" Aria questions as the five girls look between each other all knowing what Aria means- The Jenna thing.

Just as she said that, all of their phone started beeping together, making them panic, realising who was texting
them.

"Well, what is it?" Dr. Sullivan asked, when all the girls stayed quiet, as after hearing the pings, none of them had the courage to speak up.

"Um, I think our time is up" Spencer said.

CRUEL
SUMMER

"Oh, it's not from A" Aria said, as the girls walked out of Dr. Sullivan's office, "It's just a message from my mom".

"Yeah, same here, she wants me to come home" Hanna said turning to Sabrina who puts Everly's car seat down to grab her phone.

"Me, too it's from Jason just checking up on me" Sabrina informed as Spencer's eyes landed on Toby who was leaning against a car, almost like he was waiting for someone, seeing Spencer, Toby smiled and was about to walk over to her but suddenly stopped when Jenna came out of a building, after exchanging a sorry look with Spencer, he opened the car door for Jenna and drove away.

"What really happened?" A shocked Emily read the newspaper headline, underneath it was a picture of the four girls standing outside the church.

"They found lan's car by the train station and ten thousand dollars that he took from his bank account"
Spencer read, "They think he skipped town and we made up a story because we knew he left?"

Once again all five girls beeped together, and this time it was a message from A.

"I spy a liar -A" the five girls read.

CRUEL
SUMMER

The next day Sabrina pulls into the Dilaurentis driveway with Everly in the back seat. When Jason messages that he finally moved back to rosewood and bought his old house back and he wants to show her something.

"Hey" Jason greets walking out and down the stairs to Sabrina's jeep "be careful Rina you'll rip your stitches"

"I'm fine Jason" Sabrina tells the man waving him off as she climbs out of the jeep. "What did you wanna show me?"

"Hold on, I'm gonna need to put this on" Jason says handing her a blindfold before grabbing Eves car seat and Sabrina hand a pulls them towards the steps.

Once they reach the door Jason opens the front door helping her and take her up more stairs before they Jason stops them in front of a door.

"Okay on three I want you to take the blindfold off" Jason tells her opening the door and enters leaving Sabrina alone.

After she count to three Sabrina takes the blindfold off and looks around the room as when Sabrina releases it's the guest room next to Jason's now is a nursery.

"When I started to buy the house back I thought about you and Eve and how I wanted use to be a family and I know your not gonna wanna move in but I figured when I moved here you'd let me have more time with her and maybe you could spend some nights here" Jason tells Sabrina as she walks around the bedroom looking over everything with tears in her eyes.

"I love it, it's beautiful" Sabrina tells him nodding her head.

"Really?" Jason questions walking towards her with Everly in his arms, once he reaches the crib, he gently places Everly in it.

"Yeah" Sabrina whispers, laying her head on Jason's chest as he wraps his arm around her shoulders both sitting there watching their daughter sleep.

CRUEL
SUMMER

A couple hours later the five girls once again met up at Emily's after getting a text from Aria. Sabrina agreeing to let Jason keep Eve for the night.

"A had to have followed me to Ezra's" Aria said, looking down at the photo of Ezra's desk, a photo A had sent her, "And he, she, shim, must've seen me get that key from under the doormat"

"Let me see that" Hanna said, taking the phone from Aria's hand and looking at the picture, "Okay, I see books, photographs, magazines".

Hanna's eyes landed on something, causing her to give Aria a cheeky smile.

"What?" Aria asked confused as Hanna's face.

"Is that a playboy?" Hanna asked, zooming in the picture.

"What?" Aria asked shocked, as Spencer and Sabrina inched closer to see what Hanna was seeing.

"Right there" Hanna pointed, "Under that black thing on the cabinet".

"That black thing is called a typewriter" Spencer informed.

"That's not a playboy, it's a playbill" Sabrina clarified grabbing the phone from her.

"I don't think what's missing matters" Emily said, "A wants us to know that she can come and go through Ezra's apartment, when's it gonna stop? Remember where we were a few months ago?"

"Visiting me in the hospital" Hanna replied bitterly.

"A hit Hanna and kept on going" Emily said.

"A didn't even hesitate before pushing lan" Spencer added, "It's almost like it was no big deal"

"Well I keep saying this bitch is crazy they deserve to be in a mad house" Sabrina shrugged.

"I don't wanna be sitting next to you guys at another funeral" Emily said.

"You think we should tell the therapist?" Spencer asked, slightly shocked, Emily nodded in response.

"We were really close to telling her yesterday" Aria reminded, "It felt so good".

"Telling Anne wouldn't be like telling our parents" Emily said, "I mean, she has to keep it a secret, right?"

"Look I know we promised Garrett we wouldn't show the videos to the cops, but we never said anything about our therapist" Aria  said, slowly agreeing with Emily.

"Wait, Garrett is involved with this?" Sabrina asks, standing up.

"Yes, why?" Spencer asks confused.

"So we're trusting Garrett aka one of IAN'S friends" Sabrina says looking between them.

"You trust Jason" Hanna tells her.

"Jason is the father of my daughter, Garrett is not as nice as he plays himself out to be" Sabrina responded annoyed.

"Okay, we're getting off topic, I mean, if we want to her to believe us, we're going to need more than just our words".

"A picture's worth a thousand words" Spencer said.

"You know, she was wearing a gorgeous pair of Chloes" Hanna remembered.

"Who?" Aria asks as she looked at Hanna in confusion.

"The shrink" Hanna clarified.

"And this is relevant to this conversation because?" Spencer asked.

"You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes" Hanna replied and Sabrina stares at the girl completely confused.

"I really heard her when she said that we don't have to go through this alone" Emily said, bringing the conversation back on track.

Spencer looked at her friends, "Do we all agree?" she asked.

One by one the other four girls nodded, letting Spencer know that they all agreed, it was finally time to tell someone about A and its torments.

CRUEL
SUMMER

"Thank you for seeing us today" Aria told Dr. Sullivan as the five girl sat down on the couch.

"It sounded like there was something you really wanted to tell me" Dr. Sullivan said.

"There's also something we wanted to show you" Emily says grabbing her computer.

"Um, I just wanna get one thing straight here" Hanna said, "You're not allowed to tell anyone anything that we say in here, right?".

"Unless you tell me something that leads me to believe that you're a danger to yourself or to someone else" Dr. Sullivan clarified.

"You hear that Han? Sabrina said, turning to Marin girl. But Hanna wasn't listening to her, she was looking at Dr. Sullivan's shoes.

"I didn't know Tory made those boots in brown" she said.

"Are you satisfied?" Spencer asked Hanna, while Sabrina laughs.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good" Hanna assured, "Go ahead, Emily".

"I think we should tell her first, and then--" Emily said.

"Yeah, sure" Spencer agreed but the five girls then sat there in silent, hoping someone will say something.

"Aria?" Hanna said,

"We did drift apart after Alison went missing" Aria finally started, "And it's true that her death brought us back together, but I don't know if we'd be as close as we are now--".

Sabrina stopped listening and looks at book shelve that sits behind Anne when something caught her eye a degree sit on the selves from Hollis College with Ezra Fitz starting right at her.

"This talk is premature" Sabrina suddenly interrupted, confusing her friends, she gestured towards the wall, looking at what she was pointing towards, the girls were shocked seeing Ezra's diploma on Dr. Sullivan's wall, making them realise what A had stolen from his apartment.

"Um, I'm sorry we wasted your time" Emily said, quickly shutting her laptop while the other girls started grabbing their bags.

"What just happened here?" A very confused Dr. Sullivan asked, as the girls minus Aria stood up to leave.

"Um, you know, we need to figure out what we wanna say, so that we can communicate more, um, effectively" Spencer lied, while Sabrina slowly walked over to the wall and grabbed Ezra's diploma and put it in her purse.

"And that's what we'll do but we'll reschedule" Emily said grabbing her Arias arm and forcing her to stand up, her being the only one who didn't see the degree.

"You girls called me, remember?" Dr. Sullivan reminded.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry about this" Aria said, finally standing up, realising something must have really gone wrong for her sister and friends to be acting like this.

CRUEL
SUMMER

"What was that?" Aria asked confused, as the girls walked out of Dr. Sullivan's office.

Sabrina took out Ezra's diploma from her purse and handed it to Aria, who was shocked seeing it, "Where did you get this?".

"That's what A took from your boyfriends It was on the book shelve"
Sabrina informed her cousin.

"A knows we're coming here" Spencer concluded.

"And that we were gonna tell" Emily added.

"How is A always one step ahead of us?" Aria asked frustrated.

"You know, I'm starting to think that bitch has superpowers" Hanna said.

"You've gotta tell Ezra to change his locks" Spencer told Aria.

CRUEL
SUMMER

After the fiasco at Dr. Sullivan's the girls went to their respective houses, Sabrina sat at her desk finishing up her homework. When there was a knock on her door.

"Come in!" Sabrina yells out not looking up when  the door opened and in came Ella and Byron,

"Do you have a minute?" Ella asked as Sabrina looked at her aunt and uncle in confusion.

"What's this about?" she asked.

"Where's Eve?" Ella asks looking around the girls room not seeing the baby.

"Jason has her" Sabrina says turning to face them.

"Well, we just got off the phone with your therapist" Byron informed, and Sabrina nods.

"And she didn't tell us what happened today but she did tell us she doesn't think it's gonna be helpful to continue seeing you girls as a group" Ella said.

"No" Sabrina denies standing up.

"And based on your sessions, she's making a recommendation that we're gonna have to back her up on" Byron informed.

"For now" Ella quickly clarified.

"What recommendation?" Sabrina asks, crossing her arms, she had a feeling whatever Dr. Sullivan recommendation it wasn't in her or her friends favor.

"She doesn't believe you girls are capable of maintaining a healthy friendship at the moment" Ella informed, and Sabrina hands start to shake "So she's recommending that you spend some time apart".

"Yeah, and Dr. Sullivan said she's seen this before" Byron quickly said, seeing the girls getting angry. "After a traumatic loss, it's not uncommon for a close-knit group of friends to disconnect from the outside world".

"Fuck no" Sabrina yelled, grabbing the first thing she could and throws it at the wall,

"Sabrina, you need to calm down" Ella said, slowly moving closer.

"They are my friends Ella!" Sabrina snapped, moving away when Ella grabbed the girls hands.

"Sabrina--"

"Shut the fuck up!" Sabrina interrupted, grabbing a bag and some clothes and her school backpack.

"You don't get it, it's so easy for you and Ella to tell me to stay away from my friends because you just don't get it, you don't understand, and neither does that shrink!" Sabrina yells before storming out of her room past Mike and down the stairs to the front door. Only one place in mind.

CRUEL
SUMMER

It's was two hours later when Spencer sent an S.O.S causing Sabrina to quietly leave Jason's bed where Jason  and Eve laid both snuggled up together.

Sabrina takes a picture before leaving the house hoping to be back before Jason notices she is gone before she heads towards where the girls secretly met up at the old greenhouse.

"That text could have been sent by anyone, Spence". Sabrina says annoyed that she had to get up for this.

"Yeah, and it could just be some kook trying to mess with Melissa" Hanna added.

"Maybe, but it doesn't seem random" Spencer said, "It's not safe, I can't tell you?".

"Can't tell you what?" A confused Emily asked.

"Where he is" Spencer replied.

"Guys, lan is dead" Aria reminded.

"Exactly, we all saw his dead boy" Emily says.

"I didn't, I was dying on the floor" Sabrina says raising her hand.

"There's only one way to know for sure, Send a reply" Hanna said ignoring Sabrina.

"How do I know this is you?" Spencer typed out on Melissa's phone.

The girls inched closer to the phone, impatiently waiting for a reply, and eventually they got one. Ask me anything.

"Um, what's something that only lan would be able to answer?" Hanna asked.

"Hold on, I know" Spencer replied, typing something on Melissa's phone,
"What are we naming our baby?"

"What is the name?" Aria asked curiously looking over the phone.

"Taylor" Spencer informed its not long before they get a response back.

"Taylor" He replied causing the girls gasped in shock when the reply came in.

"It's him" a shocked Hanna whispered.

"lan's alive" Spencer cried out scared.
