Spencer later finds a note Toby left her, that had some Braille on it, and he wrote that he thinks she could be right about Jenna framing them. They find out the braille means 214, and Spencer asks Toby what it means. He tells her that he doesn't know, and that he heard Jenna talking about her [Spencer], and he asks if 214 means anything to her.
Later, Toby has a fight with Jenna, and goes to stay at a motel. While Spencer is dropping him off, she hears flute music coming from one of the rooms, and she goes to investigate. When she gets to the room, she knocks on the door, but no one answers, so she looks in the window, and sees the bag that Ian gave Jenna in the previous episode. When she goes back to the door, she realizes that the room number is 214, so she decides to stay with Toby, to stake-out the room. Toby lends Spencer his shirt to be more comfortable, and Spencer sees Toby shirtless while he is changing.

She says she had once, when she was younger, and that her parents hadn't even realized she was gone. Toby then says that if she ever has the urge to run away again to call him first, and he takes her hand.
