Alison pulls up outside the abandoned warehouse where Emily was held and tortured. She walks up and opens the door, stepping inside the complex. 'Okay, where are you Aria?' Alison says in her head. She starts to search the area for her friend, shivers running down her spine from both the cold and nerves. She thinks about all the good times she had with Emily and how they were a lie. She taps her jacket pocket, the gun still there. She pondered for a while when bringing the gun, thinking 'could she really kill her wife and the girl she has been in love with since the seventh grade?' Honestly she didn't know, but she was going to find out eventually. She continued to search the property.
Emily arrived at Sarah's cabin and sprinted inside, immediately heading to the gym downstairs. She gets changed into a set of black slim jeans, boots, a storm grey t-shirt and Sarah's cropped leather jacket. She opens up the tracker she and Alison used and found out she is at the abandoned warehouse. Emily grabs a set of five throwing knives and sheathes them into their holster. She buckles the belt around her thigh and turns to leave, but stops. She turns around and looks to the wall filled with photos. Emily spots a photo that she remembered the memory of. Her, Alison and Sarah at school, Emily still looking tired and Sarah was hungover. It wasn't long taken after Emily's torture. She unpins the photo from the wall and puts it in her right back pocket before leaving. She exits the cabin and gets on her motorbike. The bike roars to life, the back tyre squealing as she takes off to get her wife and friend back.
Alison continues to search the warehouse high and low. "Aria." She whispers loudly. There was no answer. She rounds another corner when she hears a loud clank. She jumps around and sees a hooded figure with a mask standing about fifty yards behind her. "Emily?" Alison calls out. The figure starts to walk toward Alison, she stands her ground and pulls out her gun. "Emily, it's me. It's your wife?" Alison calls out again. A continues to walk toward her, staying silent and unresponsive. "Emily, if you are still somewhere in there, I love you and I need you. Just let Aria go and we can talk okay?" Alison starts to step back as A keeps walking. Alison's finger slides to the trigger. They stop in front of her. "Emily, Em please." Alison pleads. A just looks at Alison through the mask before swinging their right arm up, connecting with Alison's jaw, knocking her out. Alison knew then that she couldn't kill Emily.
Alison wakes up with blurred vision. She groans painfully as her jaw throbs, she looks and notices she is tied to a post similar to how Toby was. She tried to appeal to the hooded figure across from her whom she thought was her wife. "Em, please just talk to me. You need help, you are not well." Alison murmurs. A just stands still and watches their prey. "Emmy, I love you." Alison whispers out as she watches A return to unbagging tools and placing them on the table. "What did I do?" A turns to Alison after she speaks. Alison's interests spike. "What did I do for you to hate me so much? I thought you loved me. Forever and always remember?" Alison continues. A walks up to Alison. Alison wishing in that moment that she could see her wife's face behind the colour she had come to loathe. A reaches up and punches Alison again, knocking her out.
Emily pulls up behind Alison's car, turning the ignition of her bike off. She takes her helmet off and observes the warehouse. Memories of her torture flood back into her mind, the scar on her shoulder getting tingly. Emily rubs the palm of her hand over the scar as she walks quietly up to Alison's car. She presses her hand on the window and looks into Alison's car. 'No sign of her, she must be inside.' Emily speaks in her mind. She looks to the front door of the warehouse. 'Here I go again.' Emily says in her head as she quietly creeps her way toward the door. She looks through a crack in the door and notices the place is empty. "Come on Ali, where are you?" Emily says as she opens the door slowly and slips in. Her hand hovers over her set of knives as she carefully instigates the warehouse and looks for her wife.
Alison's eyes flutter open as she glances around the small room with blurred vision. A sits in a corner of the room. Alison realizes that they are sleeping. She shifts her weight and looks up at the chains holding her. She tries to pry her way out of the chains without making much noise and waking A up. She fails to get herself free from the bonds. She tries again but the chains clank together waking A up. A jumps up from their seat and is in front of Alison in a flash. Alison curses herself in her head as A moves over to the table and searches through the tools. Alison's heart rate starts to race as she hears the echo of knives tapping together, her chest, where the A scar is, starts to itch as she relives the nightmare. "Irony, isn't it Em? You're trying to be ironic. You ordered someone to torture you here and now you're torturing me here. All those things I did Emily, I was confused back then and I took it out on everyone especially you. I know I broke your heart several times and I feel so guilty about it, I really do, I still dream about those regrets, if I could do it again, things would be so different. Please just talk to me. I love you Emily and I know that now. I love you, not Ezra or Sarah or anyone else, just you and I can't stand seeing you like this. Please just say something." Alison cries out, pleading to her wife. A turns back to Alison, a chosen knife in their hand. "I'm done Ali, I'm so done with you." A's computerized voice says, imitating Emily. "It's okay Em, I forgive you. I love you." Alison whispers, heartbreak clear in her voice.
Emily continues to search the warehouse, heading to the second floor, she hears voices in the distance and slowly makes her way in their direction. "I know I broke your heart several times and I feel so guilty about it, I really do, I still dream about those regrets, if I could do it again, things would be so different." Emily hears her wife's voice and pain tears at her stomach. She stand outside the hallway and listens as Alison continues. "Please just talk to me. I love you Emily and I know that now. I love you, not Ezra or Sarah or anyone else, just you and I can't stand seeing you like this. Please just say something." Emily's heart bursts. 'She thinks it's me.' Emily says to herself as she hears A. "I'm done Ali, I'm so done with you." Emily's anger flares. "It's okay Em, I forgive you. I love you." Emily hears the heartbreak in Alison's voice.
