Meanwhile, the penultimate episode uncovered what happened between Lucy Hale’s Aria and Drew Van Acker’s Jason DiLaurentis during the five-year time jump.
Upon Jason’s return, Ali noticed that the two share a secret they only know. Plus, their run-ins have been awkward since.
It turns out that the two were involved in a passionate fling shortly after Aria graduated from college. In a flashback, it was revealed that Jason asked her to join him on a philanthropy trip to Ethiopia.
Aria declined and took the job as an editorial assistant at a publishing company that put out Ezra’s first book.
However, Aria revealed that the real reason she did not come was because she was still hoping that she and Ezra will get back together.
While the two were talking about their past, they also uncover more details about Mary Drake’s second child.
After getting their hands on the adoption papers on Mary’s second child, the town went on a total blackout. They weren’t able to read anything except the name of the judge, which was Steven Kahn aka Noel’s dad.
Elsewhere, Hanna leaves a potential dying message after going rogue to prove that Noel Kahn is A.D. She followed Noel all over the place and even went through his trash and found a phone that looked like it belonged to Sara Harvey.
Hanna also buys some drugs so when Noel showed up at the bar, she dumped the pills in a glass of beer and offered it to him after accusing him of being Sara’s killer.
Noel knew something was up with Hanna so he refused the drink and threatened her saying that she should be careful or she’ll end up like Sara. After losing all her patience, Hanna kidnapped Noel and hit him with a shovel.
