Tonight on the ABC Family PRETTY LITTLE LIARS continues with the 21th episode called, “Cover For Me.” On tonight’s episode two Liars try to dig up answers, while the other two try to come to terms with what they have learned. Did you watch the last episode? We did and we recapped it here for you.
On last week’s episode Aria grappled with Ezra’s betrayal while Spencer had to deal with the fallout from her addiction. Spencer was determined that it was finally time to tell Aria about what she has found out about Ezra, but Emily and Hanna were worried about what it could do to their friend. A wrench was thrown into the plan when Ezra told Aria about his concern and suspicion of Spencer’s recent addiction problem. Now with Spencer’s credibility being questioned, can the girls trust what Spencer had been telling them about Ezra — could this all be a figment of Spencer’s tired brain or really just a clever ploy by Ezra to cover his tracks?
On tonight’s episode Emily takes up the sleuthing reins as she searches for answers about Ezra and Mona. After confronting both, Emily tries to make sense of the heartbreaking situation. Hanna, on the other hand, begins a new search after being confronted by Det. Holbrook and Lt. Tanner with a possible new lead in Alison’s case. Meanwhile, Spencer and Aria lean on new men in their lives to recover.

Her Mom tells Spencer that she can’t go to school for a few weeks, she has lost her car privileges, and demands that she hand over her laptop and cell phone.

He asks Hanna to sit down, and shows her the note that Paige left in the cop car saying that Alison DiLaurentis is alive.

Meanwhile Spencer is arguing with her counselor Dean. He wants to know why she has been up in the middle of the night doing laundry, and Spencer explains her sheets were dirty. He says it’s not normal for people going through withdrawal from ADHD meds to be up all night, they generally sleep a lot. She asks him if she should be having hallucinations, and according to Dean sometimes when you go through withdrawals your repressed memories come up, things that you haven’t dealt with yet.
Hanna runs into Holbrook and his partner Detective Tanner walking out of the café. Detective Tanner accuses her of writing the note, and Hanna denies it and storms off. Tanner tells Holbrook to keep an eye on Hanna because she thinks Hanna is giving the cops “the run around.” Holbrook thinks Hanna is telling the truth though, and that the letter may actually be legit.
