Mona is laying in her bed listening to opera on a record player, her Mom knocks on her bedroom door and tells her she has company. Mona heads downstairs and finds Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily waiting for her. They tell her that they need Mona’s help, Alison is at the police station right now and they are scared that she is going to tell on them. They want Mona to help them find out what Alison is telling the police.
Mona doesn’t want to help the liars, she is scared what Alison will do if she finds out she is helping the liars. Her mom interrupts to bring them cookies. Mona apologizes to them for “taking all of her Ali-anger out on them” and they leave the house. As Hanna is leaving Mona’s mom stops her and asks her if Alison is starting to harass Mona again?

Mona arrives at The Brew for her meeting, but no one has showed up. Lucas tells her that they aren’t coming, Alison got to them all. They think that Alison is a saint, and Mona is crazy. Mona says Alison has gone “full on socio.”
The next morning Mona meets the liars in the bathroom, she reveals that Alison took a polygraph at the police station last night. Mona thinks that Alison is “A” and now she is “ending the game,” which is why she went to the police. She probably wants to pin everything on the liars before she dumps them for good. Mona says she will find out what Alison told the police, as long as the liars don’t tell anyone she is helping them.

In the recording the cops asks Alison questions about where Spencer was the night she was attacked. Then she informs the cop that she had nothing to do with Bethany Young’s murder.
The liars are a little confused about why the cops were asking so much about Spencer, and are surprised that Alison doesn’t say anything that incriminating. Caleb barges in and says he was able to download more files, apparently Mona asked him for his help since he is a computer whiz. He says the cops were granted access to Bethany Young’s Radley files, and Alison DiLaurentis is off the hook for the murder. They issued an affidavit for an arrest warrant because they think that Spencer killed Bethany to “score points” with Alison. Spencer freaks out, and says she is about to be arrested. They need to know why the police think Alison wanted Bethany Young dead. Spencer announces they need to go back to Radley and find out what the police found out about Bethany.

Outside a car pulls up and Hanna and Caleb duck, they radio Mona and warn her that Detective Holbrooke just walked in to Radley.
Holbrooke pays Aria a visit in the art room, he is surprised to see her working there. He asks her when she started volunteering, whether it was before or after they found Bethany Young’s body? Aria asks if she should call her parents, Holbrooke says that won’t be necessary.
At Emily’s house Alison takes her phone and reads her text messages. She says that Hanna wants to know if she is still keeping her busy. She scoffs that she actually believed Emily was trying to make amends, and laughs that they think she is “A.” Alison storms out of the house and hops in her car where twins are sitting in the car waiting for her and one hops in the back. Paige is hiding in the bushes and sees Alison leave and jumps in her car and follows her.
