The girls were all on the police station when they saw a familiar face walk in.
"You" Ava said once she and the girls recognized him. "Did you miss me" Detective Wilden asked. Detective Wilden went closer to them.
"This doesn't just look bad it is bad homicide is a capital offense in the state of Pennsylvania and you girls are going down" Detective Wilden said.

The girls went to Anne Sullivan's house hoping she was there. "Dr Sullivan are you home" Hanna asked looking through the window.
"Hi, you've reached Anne Sullivan I've been called out of town in a family emergency if you need immediate attention, please see your physician for a referral" Anne Sullivan's voice mail said.
"I got the same voicemail" Aria said. "Yeah, she probably sent it to all of her clients" Spencer said.
"She's not here" Hanna said. "Well, this trip was a waste" Ava said. "Looks like she didn't come home last night either" Spencer said seeing her newspaper still on the porch.
"Can't say I blame her" Ava said. "She hasn't checked her mail or picked up her papers" Spencer said.
"Maybe we should call the police" Emily said. "And say what to Officer Garrett when he starts asking questions" Hanna asked. "Hanna's right Garrett, Jenna, Ian, Jason" Spencer said and Ava glared at Spencer.
"They're all connected we can't trust any of them" Spencer said. "I'm literally Jason's daughter does that mean you can't trust me" Ava asked.
"No of course not" Spencer said. "I don't believe Jason has anything to do with this. I know what you're saying but I just" Ava said. "Ava it's okay we understand no need to explain" Aria said.
"Look the last time somebody though she knew who A was, she nearly got hit by a car only for her friend to push her out of the way sorry Hanna, Ava" Spencer said.
"Okay so what do we do" Emily asked. "We go into terror alert red and hope that our phones don't ring" Spencer said and Emily's phone rang.
"That did not just happen" Spencer said. "Of course, it did right when you say it" Ava said.
"It's Maya" Emily said smiling. "Look at you suddenly all happy" Hanna said.

Ava was getting ready to leave when Jason stopped her. "You, going somewhere" Jason asked. "I have a date with Mike" Ava said. "Will you be back soon" Jason asked.
"Yeah, should be" Ava said. "I'm not sure your friends trust me too much" Jason said.
"Try not to worry about it they didn't trust my brother either it will blow over soon" Ava said. "You sure" Jason asked.
"Yeah, pretty sure" Ava told him. "I gotta go I'll be back soon" Ava said and left.

Ava and Mike were at the coffee shop after their movie date getting a bite to eat.
"I'm just saying we could have just watched a movie in your room that would have been way better than what we saw" Ava said.
"Well, I wanted to buy my girl some food" Mike died and Ava smiled. "Alright but next time either a movie at your place or let me help pick" Ava said.
"Deal" Mike said and gave Ava a quick kiss. "So, how's it like living with Jason" Mike asked.
"Little weird at first but it's actually pretty great you know having a dad that cares about me" Ava said and Mike smiled.
"As long as your happy is all I care about" Mike said. "I am promise" Ava said and Mike smiled.
"Good" Mike said. "Okay enough about me" Ava said. "How you, holding up" Ava asked. "I'm getting there" Mike said and Ava looked at him.
"I promise besides I have you the one person I know can help me through everything" Mike said and Ava smiled. "I love you" Ava said. "I love you too" Mike said and gave her a quick kiss.

"I walked Toby outside and when I came back inside it was here" Spencer said referring to the box.
"Here like in the middle of your kitchen or here on your porch and you brought it inside" Aria asked. "I haven't touched it" Spencer said. "Guys I never told you this, but Dr Sullivan really helped me" Hanna said.
"Yeah, that was the reason that we trusted her she helped us all" Spencer said. "You don't think her ear's in here do you" Emily asked.
"Why would you say that" Ava asked. "Now I'm scared to open it" Ava said. "It's a big box for an ear" Emily said. The girls all opened the box and saw a note.
Aria reached in and grabbed the note. "You have until 7pm to save her these are my demands" Aria said reading the note.
Ava moved the blanket and they all saw dolls. "Dolls" Spencer said. Spencer picked up a doll and gave it to Aria. "Guess this is yours" Spencer said.
Spencer grabbed the paper that was in the box. Aria pulled the string that was on the back of the roll. "Make Jackie go away" the doll said.
Aria put the doll down and looked at what Spencer had. "Wait" Aria said.
"Is there a creepier word than creepy" Hanna asked. Aria grabbed the paper Spencer had.
"Wait this is the paper Jackie's getting published on Theodore" Aria said. "Gericault he's this French painter" Spencer said.
"Who painted" both Spencer and Aria said. "Yeah, in a word but A also gave you this French article on Gericault and it's identical to Jackie's paper she plagiarized this" Spencer said.
Hanna picked up her doll and pulled the string. "Stop the wedding" the doll said, and Hanna put the doll down.
Spencer grabbed her doll and pulled the string. "Keep Toby safe" the doll said. "Oh my god Toby was driving his truck this morning and his brakes went out that wasn't an accident that was A" Spencer said.
"How come I didn't get one" Ava said looking for hers. "I have no idea maybe A has a soft spot for you" Aria said.
"Why would A have a soft spot for me" Ava asked. "Beats me" Aria said and Emily looked for hers only to see she didn't get one. "I didn't get one" Emily said.
"You've been A's target for weeks Em" Aria said. "Yeah, maybe A's bored with you and I mean that as a good thing" Hanna said.
"If A wants to shut me up, she found a way to do it I mean we finally tell someone the truth and now Dr Sullivan's gone I mean A can do that to anyone that we care about" Aria said.
"So, we do these things and A gives her back is that what we're supposed to believe" Hanna asked. "What choice do we have" Ava asked.
"Yeah, I get that this is a game, but I don't understand it" Emily said.
"Spence" Aria said noticing Spencer quiet. "No, it's brilliant actually A is being our ultimate frenemy forcing us to get what we want but knowing that when we do" Spencer said.
