"Template:Ep/1x10" is the 10th episode in Season 1 of Pretty Little Liars, airing August 10, 2010 - and the 10th episode overall.
Synopsis
A new piece of evidence (a bloody sweater in Toby's possession that Alison was wearing in the video of the night she got killed) leads the police to officially announce that Toby Cavanaugh is wanted for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis, though Emily, Spencer, Aria and Hanna have their doubts they’ve nabbed the right suspect. Mona comes over to Hanna's house in the morning, hoping to convince Hanna to ditch school with her and celebrate her birthday. Ashley, though tight on cash, proudly forks over $100 to her daughter when she hears Hanna refusing to join Mona based on the fact that things have been tight for them lately.
Meanwhile, Spencer tries to mend fences with sister Melissa by hooking her up for a date with her ex Ian. Aria begins to have feelings for Noel that complicate her relationship with Ezra even more. Emily’s father comes home early from his tour in Afghanistan, while Emily's mother deals with the photos she's seen of Emily and Maya kissing by being cold to Maya. And, having given Hanna the entire contents of her wallet that morning, Hanna’s mother Ashley grows increasingly desperate about their financial situation and steals money from the safe deposit box of a dying old widow named Mrs. Potter.
Next, Hanna is abruptly dumped from the guest list of Mona’s birthday party for ditching Hanna and also due to a text sent by A to Mona spreading the rumor that Hanna got liposuction to lose weight. The rest of the girls were not planning to attend Mona's party until "A" sends a message that she will also be in attendance and that the party is a scavenger hunt for her. Just as Emily arrives in her car, Toby pops his head up from the backseat and tells a freaked out Emily he needs to finish telling her what he started at homecoming. With the two alone in the woods, He professes his innocence and claims that he met Alison the night of her death and gave her his sweater when she got cold. Then, apparently, she joined another guy in a car, who Toby did not recognize, and the last time Toby remembers seeing Alison, she was alive. He also explains that the tattoo commemorating September 1 was celebrating his freedom from Jenna, not Alison. Later, Toby is discovered by the police and arrested when they find him hanging around the church.
At the party, Emily fills the others in on Toby's profession before they start roasting marshmallows and getting their hair done in crazy '80 'dos. A text from A sends Spencer back to the woods near the kissing rock, where she finds a woven bracelet with the name "Jenna" planted there. The next text from A tells them they are looking in the wrong places, so Spencer figures they should visit the right ones - or "Wright" park.
Later, Hanna goes to the woods to serve as lookout for the girls should "A" arrive, and sure enough, she finally spots the elusive "A" writing on the back of a car that Aria has stepped into. She is oblivious to the fact that it was Ezra Fitz with Aria in his car. Her discovery yields possibly fatal results, though, because she’s quickly hit and flung by a unknown SUV, whose driver doesn't stop to assess the damage.

Memorable Quotes
Agent Cooper: Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Agent Cooper (hands card to girls) Spencer: FBI? Agent Cooper: This is my partner, Agent Randall, and we're here because the bureau was asked by the local authorities to assist in the investigation of Alison DiLarentis' murder. I want to show you something that was sent to the Rosewood Police Department by an anonymous source. The family's given me permission to show it to the four of you. Alison (later, on the videotape): Wanna see more? I know you want to. If the girls knew I was seeing you, oh my God, they would not stop talking about it. I wish they were more mature, but...we don't have a lot of time. I have to get back before they wake up. I know you want to kiss me. |
Toby: I want to finish what I started to tell you at homecoming. September 1st is the day I ended it with Jenna. I felt terrible about what we were doing, but I didn't know how to stop it. Emily: (as Toby approaches) Stay there, okay? Please, if you want me to listen, just stay there. Toby: Jenna told me she'd tell people that I forced myself on her. She didn't want it to stop. Emily: Jenna wanted to be with you? |
Alison: (after seeing Spencer kiss Ian) Gross. Spencer: What did you see? Alison: Enough to make me want to puke. He's your sister's boyfriend, and he's, like, old. Spencer: Well, it was nothing. Just forget it, okay? Alison: It looked like you were into it. Spencer: Well, I wasn't. Alison: I hope not, because if you were, that would make you a skank. |
Hanna: You're my best friend. Mona: We were best friends. Now, you're just someone I used to hang out with. |
Mona: (to Hanna) Do you wanna be my friend or not? Lately, I feel like you're everybody's friend but mine. |
Byron: She asked me for space. Aria: She moved out. How much more space does she need? |
Hanna: I need to ask you guys something, and be totally honest with me: Is one side of my face fatter than the other? |
Melissa: I actually had a good time with Ian. Spencer: Wow. I will call TMZ. |
