Creator I. News U. Politics Joe Biden Congress Extremism. Aria started lying to her friends and family once she started seeing Ezra, and this proves that he was a negative influence on her life. If the relationship was healthier, she would never have to do that, and everyone would offer their support.

After Aria and Ezra met each other in a Rosewood bar , they started their serious relationship, and Aria learned that he used to be engaged to a woman named Jackie Molina.

When Jackie was teaching at Hollis, Aria got really jealous and attempted to blackmail Jackie. This didn't work and Jackie said that she would keep her job, but Aria had to break up with Ezra. Aria was playing with fire as Jackie was tougher and more manipulative than she was. If Aria wasn't with Ezra, she wouldn't have been involved in such a sketchy situation.

It's definitely strange how the Rosewood cops targeted the liars and never believed that they were innocent. Wilden was always convinced that they had murdered Ali and he didn't seem willing to consider any other possibilities.

Ezra showed up and made the situation even more complicated since Ella assumed he was dating Spencer and said that Spencer's parents would be really mad if they saw him there. This made Aria realize that her mom would probably never support their love story. In the third season of the show, Aria learned that Ezra's ex Maggie had a young son named Malcolm. Ezra was the father, and once he knew the truth, he wanted to be a good, loyal dad who made enough money to support his family.

This was a lot for Aria to handle, as she was only a teenage girl who should have been worrying about school dances and good grades, not her boyfriend's child. Ezra potentially being A was a big twist but it wasn't a good one, as it made fans think that he was an evil person instead of Aria's soulmate. Ezra was just trying to gather some research, but that didn't help matters because Aria found out that he knew Ali and was writing a book about her.

If Aria had walked away from Ezra, she could have avoided this stressful and dramatic situation. Believing she is referring to his ex, he assures her that he does not have feelings for Jackie and there is nothing to worry about, but in the process of explaining her feelings, she blurts out that Jason kissed her.

She doesn't get a chance to explain because Jackie walks up enlisting "Z" to get some brochures out the car. He walks away, still shocked and dismayed by what Aria just told him. After the college fair, Ezra slides into his car, and stares bewildered as Spencer slides into the passenger seat simultaneously. She quickly cuts to the chase and lets Ezra know that she is aware of Aria's romance with him.

Ezra stammers a denial, but Spencer waves it off, even slipping in an "Ezra", alarming "Mr. Fitz" further. She lets Ezra know that she believes Aria to be in trouble. As they are sitting in broad daylight during school hours in front of Rosewood Highs school's building, Ella spots them while descending the steps, looking none too pleased. When Aria goes to Jason, Ezra pulls into Jason's driveway. He reveals what Spencer told him and that he is there to 'rescue' Aria from Jason.

Aria assures Ezra that Jason is not a threat in that way, but Ezra still does not like the situation for a different reason. Jason is a threat to their relationship, even if he isn't a threat to Aria's well-being, and Ezra wants to settle things by going public with their relationship, beginning with Aria's parents.

Overjoyed to hear Ezra talk this way, she kisses him, and Jason finally comes back, just in time to witness the liplock. He watches as Aria gets into Ezra's car. They don't follow through with the plan to tell Aria's parents though.

Some time later, Jackie brings coffee to Ezra in his office, as he sits reclining on his couch reading some material. She tries to engage him by reminiscing about old times when things were steady between them. Aria, who is also bringing coffee, stops short when she sees that Jackie has beaten her to it.

She hides by the doorway, straining to hear which words Jackie has for her beau. Jackie plays dumb to this and keeps pitching anyway, wanting to know what his answer would be if they were both single.

But he shoots her down, reminding her that he is not single. Later that day, Aria sees an incoming call from Ezra and ignores it. Aria and the other girls are arrested on suspicion of murder. Aria uses her one phone call to call Ezra and tell him she made a terrible mistake and needs him. Ezra walks into the police station while the girls are being detained and the parents are standing together. Byron wonders at his presence, and Ella goes to confront Ezra and give him the chance to leave, as this is absolutely an inappropriate time to deal with this issue.

He says, "I'm in love with her". Ezra looks stunned. After the hiatus we learn that he did not in fact correct Ella. Aria momentarily bumps into Ezra in the hallways of her father's office building at Hollis College in the prequel episode, demonstrating that she had encountered him long before she officially met him. Through Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares.

One month after the girls' arrest, and after Aria finishes community service, Ezra bumps into her and Mike on the street outside the bike shop. Things are clearly awkward as they talk about not having seen each other lately and a book of poetry he loaned her. When Mike steps away, Ezra has a chance to say how he has felt numb since they stopped seeing each other and how he wished things were different.

Mike returns and they all exchange awkward goodbyes. Later that day, Byron visits Ezra in his office. They discuss combining their classes to watch a film one day and finishing the dinner that was interrupted. Byron gets a text and mentions how he has had to deal with so many lawyers lately, referring to Aria's arrest. Ezra is sympathetic and asks how things have been. He says he knows Aria well enough to know that Aria would never hurt Ella or Byron on purpose.

He agrees with Byron's notion that no one ever starts out intending to hurt anyone. The next day, Ezra walks in on Jackie and Aria arguing in his office. After Jackie leaves, he finally learns from Aria why she broke up with him. Jackie had been blackmailing her and after all the trouble with the cops, Aria didn't want to drag Ezra into it. Ezra regrets not telling her mother the truth in the police station. Aria is about to leave, resigned to the futility of the situation when Ezra asks if she still trusts him.

She answers yes and he informs her that there is something important they have to do that afternoon. Later, standing before Byron and Ella in their living room, he and Aria finally come clean about their relationship, much to her parents' shock and anger.

Ella and Byron are both in disbelief. Before Byron can hit Ezra, Mike walks up and does it first. After a stunned silence, Aria advises Ezra to leave. He is later seen in his office reclined on his sofa, contemplative, and drinking. Jackie walks in and tries to defend her actions. Ezra tells her to go away. Spying his injured lip, she realizes he must have told her parents and guesses that Professor Montgomery hit him.

Aggravated by her presence, he stands up and tells Jackie in no uncertain terms that he does not want anything to do with her and that she will not do anything to hurt Aria then kicks her out of his office.

The next day, Aria leaves him a voicemail telling him how much she loves him and that things will blow over eventually. Ezra sits alone in his apartment watching a basketball game when there is a knock at the door.

He lets Byron in and offers him a beverage. Byron cuts to the chase. He knows navigating certain student-teacher relationships can be tricky and admits to making his own bad choices, pointing out that they were not with a minor.

He asks for Ezra's word that he will not see Aria again, but Ezra doesn't give it to him. Instead, he thanks him for helping him get the job at Hollis which enabled him to continue his relationship with Aria. Byron spies the rumpled sheets on Ezra's bed behind him and asks if he and Aria spend time at his apartment. Before Ezra can answer, Byron threatens him about going to the police and leaves. In the neighborhood to pick up a cake, Hanna pops in on Ezra in his office to let him know she and Aria's other friends approve of their relationship.

He asks Hanna to leave the door open, not wanting to give Byron any more ammunition to use against him. Aria calls Ezra again and this time he picks up. She says she just needed to hear his voice.

If there is any chance of staying together, he will meet her under a clock in Philadelphia at 8 o'clock. Sitting at his desk, Ezra sees the voicemail and considers deleting it, but chooses to ignore it for the moment. Ezra meets with a student about a work of fiction written for class.

Byron looks on ominously from across the room. Some days later, Aria talks on the phone with Ezra, discussing his interview for the job in New Orleans tomorrow.

Aria says that they will figure something out like they always do. Ezra says that he's not so sure about that anymore. She asks if he is giving up on them.

They are interrupted by the kettle whistling. Eye of the Beholder. Ella shows up to Ezra's office while he is reading papers. He hops up and offers her a refreshment even though all he has is chocolate milk and an apple. She makes it clear that this isn't a social call and the fact that she is willing to talk about his relationship with Aria doesn't make her an ally. Compared to Byron, she may seem that way, but the only person she cares about is Aria.
