After Spencer 's emotional conversation with Emily, she got up to go visit her trustworthy friend and figure out what was going on with Toby. So she hopped in her car and went straight to Emily's house.

When Spencer got up to Emily's front porch her Ms. Fields immediately opened the door.

"Hi Ms. Fields!" Spencer greeted.

"Hello Spencer, how's life in Rosewood been?" Ms. Fields responded.

Spencer wanted to say confusing, shitty, or even scary, but she just went with "fine".

"Well that's good, at least you are enjoying yourself." Ms. Fields

"Now go on upstairs, Emily's waiting for you." Ms. Fields added.

"Okay, thanks Ms. Fields!" Spencer responded in an over enthusiastic tone.

Spencer darted up the stairs and went straight to Emily's room. She saw Emily and immediately was given a big hug.

"I'm so sorry about what Toby did to you" Emily said.

"Thanks Em. Why exactly did I have to come over to figure this out though?" Spencer inquired.

"Because I thought it would be fun." Emily said with a smile. Then she grabbed her phone and sat down on her bed. Spencer then sat down on Emily's window seat. Spencer just sat there looking out the window, lost in her thoughts while Emily dialed Toby's number on her phone. Before long Spencer was jolted out of her daydream by Toby's booming voice filling the small bedroom.

"Hey Em, what's up?" Toby asked.

"Toby, I was deeply saddened to learn that you were moving, and you told Spencer, not me." Emily said jokingly.

"Sorry Emily, I was going to tell you but I have had so much going on lately, it's been insane." Toby guiltily responded.

"So Toby, when exactly are you leaving?" Emily responded while Spencer looked at her with an exasperated expression.

"Well Yvonne and I thought we should have the wedding here, just because it seemed easier." Toby said back.

"Okay." Emily replied. "When will the wedding be?" Emily asked.

"Well we talked to Pastor Ted, and the church is booked up with various events throughout the next couple months. Since we want to get out of here soon we decided to have it in two weeks." Toby said.

"Two weeks! Toby, are you insane?" Emily screeched.

Spencer's expression changed from shock to confusion to grief in the following moments. Something in her mind clicked and she suddenly realized that she might not see Toby ever again after his wedding. As that registered in her mind she realized that she couldn't live like that. She suddenly knew that she needed Toby.

Spencer suddenly got up and left the bedroom with a slam of the door, not caring that Toby would realize that she was listening to their whole conversation. Spencer decided that she couldn't possibly drive away in her current mental state so she promptly went and locked herself in the bathroom.

While Spencer was leaving Emily accidentally shouted, "Spencer, wait." So Emily hung her head in shame and waited for Toby's response.

"Emily." Toby finally said in a pained tone of voice. "Was Spencer there the whole time we were talking?"

"Yes." Emily said with a sigh.

"Well is she okay?" Toby added in the same exasperated tone.

"I don't know." Emily guiltily replied.

"Please go check on her. If she wants have her call me." Toby said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Okay." Emily said and then hung up.

As soon as she walked into the hallway she knew where Spencer was. She could tell by the wretched sobs coming from the bathroom.

"Spencer," Emily said gently while lightly knocking on the bathroom door. "Are you okay?"

Spencer heard Emily's knocking on the door and let her in.

"Spencer, what's wrong?" Emily calmly asked.

"I'm exhausted, hungry, and I want Toby." Spencer lightly sobbed while sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

"Toby said you could call him if it would make you feel better." Emily said, trying to help her depressed friend as much as possible.

"But that's not the same." Spencer whined. She realized she was acting like a spoiled five year old but simply didn't care.

"Do you want me to drive you back home? Maybe call Toby then? He seemed really worried." Emily said in a gentle tone of voice.

"That's the problem though!" Spencer exclaimed. "I still love him and he clearly still feels something for me, but he's with Yvonne!"

Emily sighed, she wasn't able to turn that situation optimistic. "Here get up. I'll take you home."


Once at home Spencer promptly poured herself a large glass of whiskey, just wanting to forget everything.

Before she could even take a sip she heard a knock at her door. Expecting her mother who was supposed to be dropping off her package that she got from eBay. It had been a week and she still didn't have it.

She promptly opened the door and was surprised to see Toby standing there.

"Emily called, are you okay?" Toby asked with genuine concern showing through his voice and beautiful blue eyes.

Spencer wanted to kiss him so badly, but she didn't. She knew it wouldn't end well if she did.

"I'm fine, want a drink?" Spencer asked, not looking him in the eye. She knew if she did he would know she was lying.

"Why not." Toby replied with a small smile on his face.


One to many bottles of whiskey later the two were both completely drunk. Through her drunken haze Spencer realized that if she kissed him now, it wouldn't matter. She had the excuse of being drunk anyways. Toby was thinking the exact same thing.
