Emily has been juggling a lot of secrets and lies lately and, when her father pays her a surprise visit before a big swim meet, the pressure gets to be too much, sending her to the hospital. But with the prospect of having to come clean to her father about Danby, Emily realizes she has bigger problems when "A" reveals a part in Emily's swim career. While visiting Emily, Spencer and Aria take the opportunity to try and do more digging around about the cause of Alison's death and how the broken field hockey stick may play a part in the last few moments of their friend's life. Meanwhile, Hanna struggles with the prospect of losing both men in her life when her father's "Save the Date" for his wedding arrives, and the possibility of Caleb (recurring guest star TYLER BLACKBURN) leaving Rosewood before his past can come back to haunt him.

When Axl comes home from college for Christmas vacation, he would rather spend time with his friends than with his family, so he and Frankie must come up with a time management agreement that will satisfy both of them; Sue's severe allergic reaction to the Christmas tree threatens to ruin her holiday; and after it's discovered that Brick lied to the school about his Christmas wrapping paper sales, he finds himself running a mini Ponzi scheme in an attempt to pay back the debt.

Louis and Jessica clash over how to raise the kids and how to run the restaurant. When the boys get straight A’s in school, Jessica decides that their school must be too easy and takes it upon herself to give them more homework and tutor them after class. She takes the same strict approach at the restaurant (no extra croutons for anyone!), so it’s up to Louis to get her to lighten up on everyone.

Leo hopes his siblings will help him get a better seat at lunch.

Chase and Adam record themselves doing bionic stunts but they lose the phone they used; Leo and Bree scheme to help Perry.
