It was a dark night as they drove off with the disc in Mona's possession. Mona didn't want to see Hannah get hurt, so she had the disc to keep her mom from being framed.
The next day, Hannah was seated cross legged on Emily's bed. Emily was sitting at her desk on her laptop.
Just then, Hannah's IPhone went off and Hannah answered it.
“Yeah. I can do that. See you tonight.”
Hannah hung up and set her phone beside her on the bed again.
“Was that Caleb? Is he back?” Emily asked, without looking away from her laptop.
“No. That was Mona. She wants me to help her move her lair tonight.”
That night, Hannah helped Mona hide the lair. As she followed Mona in her car, she ended the call with Emily with, “If I'm not back by midnight, send a search party.”
Suddenly, they heard a noise from behind some bushes and trees after the lair had been hidden behind a wooden fence.
“We should get out of here,” Hannah suggested.
Mona obliged.
The next day, Hannah drove her friends and Mona back to the scene where the car was and saw police investigating, so they kept going.
“All this for a car?” Aria asked.
Meanwhile, Toby was driving Mona's lair down a dirt road. He stopped in the middle of it and read a text message from *A* that said, I know what happened to your mom. Bring the lair to me and you'll know too-A. He then got out and walked away, leaving it there.
The next day, Jessica Dilaurentis moved into Ali's old house and was bringing stuff inside.
When Jessica came out to take another box inside, she saw Emily there.
“Emily,” she greeted. “It's wonderful to see a familiar face.”
Emily looked at her and gave her a friendly smile.
“Ali would've liked this.”
“I'm glad to hear someone say her name. They avoid it. I know they're trying to be polite, but it's not nice.”
“Can I help?”
“Sure.”
They each brought in a box to Ali's room.
“You kept all her things?”
“Yeah. I think Alison would've wanted that.”
Later that day, the girls were in Emily's room talking about why Jessica was back. They thought she was back not because she was grieving, but because Ali wanted her there and wanted her old room back too.
The next day, Toby was in the woods and saw an investigator inspect a red cloak, before he dropped it on a pile of burnt wood and left.
When the investigator was gone, Toby called Spencer to tell her to meet him at the burnt down house.
When they were both there, he told her about the cloak.
“I saw him drop it on this pile,” he told her, but it was gone.
Spencer started to head inside.
“Spencer, it's not safe to go in there.”
She stopped and he turned his back to look at the pile again. He turned back to her, only to not see her there. So he headed inside, careful where he was going.
“Spencer,” he called.
Nothing.
“Spencer,” he called again.
She appeared on the stairs and came down.
“What?”
He answered her when she was on the same level as he was.
“We shouldn't be in here. It's not safe.”
“There's no problem in looking.”
“What exactly are we looking for?”
“Um, a red cloak.”
Just then, she heard a creak and saw a shadow.
“I don't think we're alone in here.”
He looked over his shoulder, but didn't see anything. He then looked at her again.
“Let's get out of here,” he suggested.
Together, they left.
The next day, Carol Marin was getting ready to go to work. Hannah was seated at the bar having some breakfast.
Carol looked at her daughter.
“Have you seen my phone? I can't find it anywhere.”
“No,” she replied.
Carol kept looking at her.
“I swear I haven't seen or taken your phone, mom.”
“Okay,” her mother replied. “See you later.”
Hannah watched her mother leave, before she called Aria.
“Hey, Hannah. What's up?”
“I think *A * took my mother's phone.”
“Why would *A* take her phone?”
“I don't know. She never misplaces it and she can't find it anywhere.”
“Okay. We'll talk later.”
“Okay. Bye.”
Hannah and Aria hung up.
That night, the girls including Mona too, sat on Aria's bed kind of in a circle. The door was closed to keep anyone from listening in.
“I think *A* took my mom's phone,” Hannah announced.
“It makes sense. If she's after your mom or your mom knows something, she could've taken it for a reason,” Mona implied.
“And Toby and I heard something yesterday. We went inside the house to look for the red cloak Toby saw. We didn't find it, but someone was in there with us. We heard something like someone was walking around in there. And I saw a shadow,” Spencer told them.
“And we heard something when we hid the lair,” Mona informed them. “I think someone was watching us.”
“We need to figure this out,” Aria said. “And find out who Redcoat is.”
“What do we know?” Emily asked, taking the lead next.
“We know that Mona and I saw Ali pull us out of the fire and everything else started around the time Jessica came back,” Hannah said.
“We can solve everything by finding out who Redcoat is,” Mona announced, and everyone agreed on that.
The next night, as Emily headed for the door to go inside, she heard Jenna.
“Emily, can we talk?”
Emily turned around.
“It depends.”
“If anything happens to me, I want you to deliver a message to Toby for me.”
Emily saw a burn on Jenna's hand.
“Did you burn yourself?”
“Never mind that. Just give him a message for me.”
“Why would you think something will happen to you?”
“Well, because so far, everyone that saw Ali the night before she was murdered has ended up killed. Just tell him I love him and I never meant to hurt him.”
Emily watched her walk away, before she went inside and to her bedroom.
Once seated on her bed, she called Hannah.
“Hannah, I have to tell you something.”
“What is it, Em?”
“I think Jenna was at the fire. She has a burn on her hand.”
“Okay. We can meet tomorrow.”
The next night, they went to investigate the burned down house.
“I don't see anything,” Aria said.
“Keep looking,” Spencer encouraged.
“Can we go soon? I don't like being here,” Hannah said.
“None of us do,” Mona said.
“What are we looking for, anyway?” Hannah asked.
“Anything worth looking into,” Emily replied.
Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice.
“Looking for me?”
They all turned to see Alison Dilaurentis step out from behind a tree. She didn't have a red cloak on. Instead, she was the real Ali with normal clothes on.
“Ali,” Emily greeted.
“Alison,” Mona greeted.
“I shouldn't be here. She'll find out I'm alive. We should go,” she said.
“Redcoat?” Mona questioned.
Ali gave her a small nod, before she headed back the way she had come.
As they followed her, memories surfaced.
Emily remembered when she had kissed Ali in the tree house back in seventh grade, Spencer remembered the night they had had a sleepover and she and Spence had had a fight, before she had left and then disappeared, Hannah remembered the day before the sleepover where they had had lemonade and tanned themselves out by Ali's pool, and Mona remembered how cruel Ali had been to her and how the girls had followed her lead. That last memory the four girls remembered was one Summer when Ali had gone inside and then came out and asked them, “You're Hannah, Emily, Aria, and Spencer right?” They had thought she had been playing a game with them.
They stopped in front of a shack.
“Here,” Ali said.
Everyone walked in and Ali closed the door behind them all.
“What happened to you?” Aria asked.
“Yeah. We thought you were dead,” Spencer said.
“We've missed you,” Emily said.
“If you're alive, whose body did they find in the basement?” Mona asked.
“I'm sorry about everything, but I couldn't come out into the open. And until she's taken down, I still can't. That body they found was my crazy half-sister Courtney. She was in Radley. She came for a visit that Summer in eighth grade. She almost traded places with me. She was crazy enough that she wanted to be me and always went around saying that she was me,” Alison explained. She then told them that it wasn't safe for her.
