Seth and Dean were confused. Spencer helped them at the trial, and sent them 'you're welcome' texts. Roman remained silent as Seth and Dean discussed their current situation.

"Do you think there's still a chance?" Dean asked. "That she'll come back?"

"Of course I do. What type of question is that? I wake up everyday and wish she were there. You just don't know.." Seth sighed.

Dean was incredulous that Seth said that. He glared at him, wide-eyed he said, "I don't know? I loved her before you! How dare you say that?"

Roman exclaimed, "Both of you, shut up! You're arguing about who loves her more when she doesn't even love you back! You both look like fools.."

"Of course she does. She helped us-"

"Yeah okay, she helped us. How do you know it was because she loved you?"

Seth and Dean fell silent.

At school, Spencer wasn't surprised that Roman, Seth nor Dean showed. They had been absent for two weeks now. She hated that she was constantly worried about them. She wish she could just forget about them, but love never really worked that way. You can't ignore love, she knew that now. Spencer just wished she could.

The substitute for her first period entered the room. She sat down and began reading. Some of the students caught up on schoolwork, socialized, but Spencer remained a prisoner of her own thoughts.

Ted and Randy walked Candace to her first period. Ted kissed her forehead. "I'll see you later."

Ted turned to Randy. "Keep an eye on her for me, please?"

Randy fist-bumped him. "I will, dude. See you around."

Candace sat in her seat next to Spencer. She frowned when she began to think Spencer was ignoring her. She turned to talk to the girl on her left.

Randy sat on the right of Spencer. "You okay?"

Spencer flinched a little and exhaled, "Just thinking."

"About Emily?"

"About everyone, and everything."

Randy suddenly said, "Your boyfriends were fired."

"What? Why? They won the case I thought."

"They did, I think. That doesn't mean Principal Vince wants them here. So, he fired them. I told you because I had a feeling you didn't know."

Spencer muttered, "I didn't."

Emily said, "I need your help again, Alison."

Alison sighed, "You still haven't killed them?! God Emily, what are you you waiting for?"

"Something came up and I got a bit distracted. Well, very distracted. Jake chickened out and Seth so I'm pretty much alone. I mean, I could do it by myself but the sooner they're dead, the better."

Alison said, "Well, you have to pay my plane ticket back to California. I'm on vacay in NYC."

"Fine. See you soon." Emily slammed the phone on the table. "She keeps spending up mom and dad's money. Such an idiot. I have the slowest siblings in history. Dad and mom go out everyday and work so we will have things, but she takes advantage."

Emily smiled. "I bet I am the favorite child.."


Seth and Jake sat in the living room, discussing their situation.

Seth said, "How will I pay the bills? I can't get another job as a teacher. Dammit!"

"I could help pay bills, I can help. We will find you a job."

Seth shook his head. "No. You are about to go to college. I want you to focus on schoolwork and school only."

The phone rang. Jake answered.

"This is Conard Mental Hospital. I am responding to your request for.. Emily Black to be hospitalized."

Jake passed the phone to Seth.
