Pretty Little Liars' 15 Best Spencer and Toby Moments
There are many reasons to watch Pretty Little Liars. There’s the fashion (gotta love that animal print on Aria), the many theories, and, of course, the romance. So. Much. Romance. Whether you ship Haleb, Ezria, Emison, Spoby — or all four — it’s easy to see that the love stories of PLL are a huge part of the show's appeal.
In honor of Keegan Allen’s birthday, we’re revisiting all the times that Toby was basically #endgame. With those blue eyes (aka “pretty eyes”), swooshy hair, and sensitive personality, it’s easy to see why Spencer (and now Yvonne, welp) have fallen for him. Here are 15 times Toby gave the #PLLArmy all the feels!
1/15Spencer and Toby’s first kiss.
Part of what made the first Spoby kiss so great was that it took them SO LONG to actually lock lips. After doing some serious spy work together and passing the time with multiple Scrabble games (we’ll get to those later), Spencer and Toby finally kissed in a the motel parking lot, and it was all kinds of adorable.
2/15That time Toby and Spencer held hands in their sleep.
It’s like they have to be close all the time, even when they’re unconscious. Sigh.
3/15Their love was so strong that they even joined the “A” team for each other.
Toby joined the “A” team momentarily in order to protect Spencer, and Spencer joined when she thought Toby was dead. That’s how much they cared for each other: they were willing to play for the dark side if it meant keeping the other one safe.
4/15Three words: the hot tub.
Okay, granted, they spent a lot of this scene talking about Jason, and Toby was acting kinda shady, but the setting was still pretty romantic. Unfortunately, the moment was quickly ruined when Spencer heard a noise in the distance and thought “A” was nearby.
5/15The infamous Scrabble game.
So back to Scrabble. Before their first kiss, Spencer and Toby played Scrabble together, so by that, we mean they flirted while sort of playing a board game. They were camped out in a motel, trying to get some answers about “A” and in their spare time, they broke out the Scrabble board. The game definitely helped them break the ice and led to their amazing kiss the next day.
6/15Also: that Scrabble necklace.
Later in the series, Toby gave Spencer a necklace that served as a throwback to their pre-relationship days as sleuthing Scrabble players. The necklace was just one singular Scrabble letter “S” — for “Spencer,” of course.
7/15All the times Toby got sensitive and they cried together.
There’s something pretty awesome about a guy who isn’t afraid to cry in front of his S.O. Toby has shed a lot of tears on PLL, and Spencer has always been there to comfort him. And sometimes they cry together.
8/15Uh, that one make-out session.
You know which one we’re talking about. We’d wager a bet that this Spoby kiss might be the best of them all, and maybe the hottest of all PLL kisses in general.
9/15All of their meals together.
Toby spent a lot of time at casa Hastings (most likely because his home wasn’t a very friendly place, and it, uh, blew up). With that, he and Spencer ate a lot of meals together throughout the series — and always managed to find time for witty banter at each one.
10/15When they time-traveled to the 1940s.
In the episode titled "Shadow Play," the PLLs were transported to the '40s and the episode was shot in the style of film noir. Spencer and Toby looked perfect in old-fashioned clothes – they were like an iconic couple of the past.
11/15The fact that Spencer and Toby really hated to be apart.
Whenever one of them was MIA, the other was just...not the same. In a way, they probably enjoyed missing each other, because it made their reunions that much sweeter each time.
12/15That time they worked out together.
It’s no secret that Spencer has a competitive streak in her, and Toby always complimented that really well. Spencer and Toby went running together — consider it training for hunting down the big bad "A."
13/15When Toby said “I love you” to Spencer.
And her reply was, “I wanted to say that first.” Naturally.
14/15Or that time when Spencer napped in his arms.
While the breeze blew gently through the window and Toby read a book. Sorry, is this a Nicholas Sparks novel?
15/15And most of all: Toby literally became a cop to protect Spencer.
He joined the police force and put himself in the way of danger mainly to keep Spencer safe. (And, okay, also because he thought she’d like the uniform.) Basically what we're saying is: can Spencer and Toby get back together now? Thanks.
