"It's Melissa!" Emily gasped.

"Where?" Aria inquired.

"Outside. Put everything back" Emily insisted.

"What do we do?" Aria panicked.

"Put everything back where you found it" Emily repeated.

"Crap, we better hide" Kara said, checking to see if the closet was big enough for all of them.

"We should just about be able to hide in here" Kara informed them.

"Dammit!" Hanna cried, as she spilt a box all over the floor.

"Hanna!" Emily scolded, as they all tried to pick it up and put it back.

They managed to close the closet door behind them just as Melissa entered the room. She found a book out of place, but didn't seem to catch on. She walked over to the closet and opened the door, causing the girls to lean back. Emily tried to back up and accidently stood on Kara's toe, making her let out a small squeak, which Emily tried to conceal with her hand. Melissa soon found what she was looking for and left the room.

"Jesus, Em! Ouch!" Kara grimaced.

"Sorry" Emily mumbled.

"That was close" Aria said, breathing a sigh of relief as they got out of the closet.

"Yeah, way too close" Emily added.

"Okay, let's just get out of here" Aria suggested.

"We need to hang these up" Emily insisted, picking up a top and putting it back on the railing.

"Wait, you guys. Look!" Hanna exclaimed, when she saw the bag a dress would be put in.

Aria quickly pulled the zip down, making them all groan when they saw there was nothing in there.

"Wait!" Aria announced, as she found a familiar feather at the bottom of the bag.

Kara had to leave soon after that to get to her physio appointment that she now had to go to once a week to get the strength back in her leg and arm. Her leg was starting to heal up nicely…her arm on the other hand, seemed like it would take a long time to fully heal. Later that evening she got a text from Aria saying that Hanna was distraught because Caleb had broken up with her, and quickly hobbled over to her house to comfort her as well as she could.


"What happened to keeping a low profile? Staying blind because she's a target? Look at her. How can you miss her? She's been gliding around school all day like a Thanksgiving float" Spencer grumbled, after they found out that Jenna had suddenly come out with the secret of her new sight.

"We should say something to her" Emily announced, as she started to walk away.

"No. Wait. Did you get Aria's text about Lucas and the photo studio?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah. What was that about?" Emily inquired.

"Aria says that she knows the photographer who owns the studio, and it's on the same block where she and Hanna saw Lucas on that night" Spencer told her.

"So now we think Lucas took the photos in the graveyard?" Emily questioned.

"Look, if Lucas really did take those photos it's because A is blackmailing him or something. He's not a bad guy!" Kara insisted.

"Well, maybe, but then why was he pounding to get in there? I can't think about this now. I have a calculus test" Emily grumbled.

"Wait, guys. There's something else. My mom left her tablet out on the table this morning" Spencer said, handing them a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Emily questioned.

"They're letting Garrett out. To see his mother" Spencer informed them.

"Oh yeah, I've heard of this. It's called compassionate furlough" Kara realised.

"What has he done to deserve compassion?" Emily retorted.

"She's probably really sick" Spencer stated.

"So basically they're giving him a get-out-of-jail-free card?" Emily spat out.

"This just might be his last time to say goodbye to her" Spencer argued.

"At least he gets a chance" Emily glared.

"Em, they're not going to let him out of their sight. I mean the police are pretty crap around here, but letting a guy who murdered two teenage girls free? That's bad even for them" Kara explained.

"Do you want to talk about this later?" Spencer queried.

"What's there to talk about? We have no power...who cares what we think?" Emily cried.

"I do. What if "A" put Garrett's mom in the hospital to get Garrett out of jail? Maybe the plan is to meet up with the person who's really helping him. It would explain what Aria saw hiding in the shadows last night. Em, Mona might not be the only person in Rosewood who owns a black hoodie" Spencer exclaimed.

"How do we even know Garett is working with A?" Kara asked, bringing up a surprising question.

"Don't look. She's coming over here" Spencer warned them.

"Who?" Emily frowned.

"The float. She's carrying something. Envelopes" Spencer whispered.

"What's in them?" Emily inquired.

"Anthrax" Spencer replied, making Kara giggle lightly.

"Hi. Here's one for you, you, and one for you. I haven't seen Aria or Hanna. Can I trust that you'll pass them on?" Jenna said, handing them all envelopes.

"What is this?" Emily questioned.

"Oh, they're invitations. It's my birthday" Jenna smiled.

"And you recovered just in time" Emily accused.

"The doctors say it's a positive outcome" Jenna retorted.

"No. What the hell is this Jenna? I thought you needed protection. We had a deal" Spencer explained.

"Well, this is the new deal: I feel a lot safer when I'm in charge of what happens to me. Hope to see you at the party" Jenna grinned.

"Why do I get the feeling I'm seeing a dead girl walking?" Kara asked.


"Hey Kara, why is Jenna Marshall inviting me to her party tonight?" Jason inquired, walking into the Marin's kitchen.

"What?!" Kara queried, grabbing his invite.

"Is this bad? A trap or something?" Jason questioned.

"I have no idea. It's like she's inviting the whole of Rosewood" Kara grumbled.

"Should we go?" Jason asked.

"I guess…unless you've got somewhere better to go?" Kara stated.

"Nope, let's do this thing" Jason announced.
