Plot summary
Aria, Hanna, and Spencer donate to their school's blood drive. Mike is caught looking inside the fridge where donations are being stored. The girls tell Aria to ask Mike what's up, but Aria hesitates. She doubts her brother will answer her questions, and fears what she'll find out if he does. The stress leads Aria to panic during a math test and copy answers from Andrew Campbell. Andrew confronts Aria about her wandering eye and offers to tutor her. Hanna is swimming in college offers, but tuition is a whole different beast.
Financial aid isn't granting her enough because of her father's substantial income. Tom admits that he plans to pay for Kate's private education. Having underestimated Hanna's prospects, he isn't prepared to do the same for her. Hanna calls her father out for his lack of interest in her. Jonny asks Spencer to help him with a "mural" he's painting at Hollis. While he works, Spencer reflects on how seldom she does anything for fun. It comes out the next day that Jonny's "mural" was really graffiti. Spencer is angry, feeling that Jonny tricked her into breaking the law.
Still, the experience did give her something valuable. Emily finds out that Talia is married. Talia apologizes for lying and explains that she and her husband have an open relationship. Ashley comes clean to Ted about her night with Jason. She is ready to accept his proposal, but he tells her he needs time to think. Aria answers Mike's phone when she sees a private call come in. The call is from the women’s correctional facility and it is Alison's voice saying the name Hank Mahoney. Aria answers by saying Alison’s name, upon hearing her, Alison hangs up.
Aria asks Mike who Hank Mahoney is, and he claims not to know. Later, Emily sees Mike withdraw $400 from an ATM. She interrupts Aria's tutoring session to relay what she saw. Andrew drives Aria and Emily to a diner where Mike is meeting up with "Hank Mahoney," whom Emily recognizes as Cyrus Petrillo. Mike hands Cyrus a thick envelope. The girls initially assume it's the cash, but they start to wonder if it could be their blood instead. Largely oblivious to the situation, Andrew scares Cyrus away before the girls can ask him any questions. ' A' ending: 'A' drips some of Hanna's blood onto the clothes that Mona was wearing when she was killed.
