Around the turn of the 20th century, ancient Chinese poetry grabbed fresh attention in the West and provided inspiration for some notable works. Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, for example, found in a set of German translations of Li Po the impetus to create "Das Lied von der Erde" ("The Song of the Earth"). And four years after the 1911 posthumous premiere of that profound music, American poet Ezra Pound published "Cathay," his influential interpretations of Li Po and other Chinese poets.

The good news: Ezra isn't A. The bad news: Ezra was still in a relationship with Aria for all of the wrong reasons. Aria fights tears as she shares with the girls all of the details she uncovered about Ezra and his book. While the girls are relieved that he isn't A, they can't help but question why he went to such great lengths to get close for a story, including creating a relationship with Aria -- and his theory that one of the girls killed Allison. The tears can't stop coming as Aria flashes back to the moment she met Ezra in the bar. Ezra's reveal has made Aria more than upset, but physically sick.

Hold on tight as everything falls apart. Spencer is finally getting some sleep, and hearts are breaking with one of this season's biggest reveals. Spencer wakes up at Ezra's desk in his empty classroom. The one person to find her in that moment and warn her of the dangerous path she is heading toward is…Ezra himself.  Slipping out of the classroom in her pajamas and slippers before anyone can see her, Spencer still can't figure out how she ended up in that situation. In a frenzy, Spencer calls Hanna and Emily into the bathroom so they can try and figure out exactly how and why Spencer ended up in Ezra's classroom after they left Aria's house.

Yet the memories that stalk this former Miss New Jersey are far more sinister than fluttering insects. Pixie, still beautiful and immaculately groomed almost 20 years after her failed bid for the Miss America crown, is now a dentist's wife and mother of two in suburban Delaware.
