The BAU investigates a rash of teen suicides in small Wyoming towns and discover that the UnSub pretends to be a teen and coerces other teens into playing "the choking game" over the Internet with deadly results.

As Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer try to keep their distance from each other, each girl looks to distractions to help fulfill the "separate time" request from their parents. Aria channels her inner artist and signs up for a pottery class at Hollis College. Not only does the class qualify as "separate time," but it also gives her an excuse to see Ezra on campus, so there are benefits on both sides - that is, until she finds out Jenna is also taking the class. Emily stays focused on her swimming career and how that could help her stay in Rosewood, but when she doesn't get the solid commitment from Danby University, she comes up with a way to fudge things to convince her mom to stay. But will goody-two-shoes Emily be able to go through with her sneaky plan? Feeling like the only one who doesn't have a hobby, Hanna turns to Lucas to see if she can join the yearbook staff to fill her time.

Hanna helps Lucas score a date, while Emily deals with the aftermath of her mother spilling to everyone that she has a scholarship offer.

Everybody seeks companionship.
