Wilden Conundrum
Episode Five
Someone's house is shown being blown to shreds.
ONE DAY BEFORE
It's morning in the town of Rosewood, and Jenna's still being held captive. She cranes her head to look in the backseat and sees her assailant.
Emily turns around to see that it is 9AM and that there's a note on her bedside stand.
In addition, she hears footsteps coming from out side her room.
Veronica turns around in bed to see her daughter sleeping soundly and peacefully and notices that this is her only daughter aside from Spencer.
"I love you," she mumbles, caressing the side of Melissa's face - putting aside the fact that she broke in to her house for reasons unknown.
She opens her eyes and mumbles something along the lines of "I love you, mom," to which Veronica looks at her with love in her eyes.
Hanna turns around in bed to see the man she saw just yesterday on the other side of the bed.
This frightens her - so she raises the cover, and inaudibly gasps as her worst fears have been confirmed.
Byron turns around in bed and is shocked to see that his wife is not there and that instead Aria is sleeping with him.
He gets up then notices a note on his bedside stand.
Ali looks at her mother. "Can you please forgive me?" She begs, looking deep within her mother's guiltless eyes.
"Everything is fine," Jessica continues. "But rest assured, I am never forgiving you."
She looks at her mother with tears dripping down her cheeks.
Aria wakes up then caresses her father's back. He smacks her hand, then reads the letter, to him self. It reads:
"I can't go on being like this. You and I both knew this was going to happen. See you in the next life."
He places the note back on the stand and cries. Aria caresses his back once more to provide him comfort.
"No way!" Hanna exclaims. The man awakens. She remembers him introducing him self as a man named Lucas or something like that.
Lucas places his groggy hand on Hanna's naked hips. "What's wrong, Babe?" He tiredly utters.
Veronica sits down in a room with Mike. "So, you attacked someone?" She whispers, so as to be discreet. Mike shakes his head in compliance. "Why did you do that?" She continues, beginning to feel nervous and anticipatory for what may occur next.
"He's been blackmailing me." Mike lied. He knew what really happened. He was and has been a member of the Red Coat Team for a long time. This is his job; he can't just forgo his duties.
"I don't believe you," Veronica doubts, but Mike flashes her a look that makes her instantly believe everything he says.
Emily sees her mother in her doorway. This makes her a bit anxious. "What are you doing here?" She bellows. "I thought you were dead," she adds.
"I... I don't know what happened," she utters, making Emily feel a bit suspicious about what really happened to her mother. "All I remember is being chained up and told what to do for so long, and released, then led astray... Then I broke in..."
"I can't..." Hanna trails off, looking at the tempting eyes of the sexiest man she's ever seen for a long time. "You can't..." She trails even more, envisioning what her boyfriend, Caleb, may tell her if he ever found out what she was doing. "We can't..." She trails off, voicing something barely recognizable, envisioning how much of a hypocrite she'd be considered if she actually went through with whatever's happening with Lucas.
"Honey, please," Lucas utters, displacing his hand from Hanna's hips to her bare chest. "I know you want me, and I know I want you."
His voice is so seductive but it's not enough to permanently entrance Hanna. "No. We can't." She resists, placing his hands back on his body.
"Fine," Lucas mutters, getting out of the bed, and putting back on his boxers. "If you don't want me, then I'll tell the police what I know."
A policeman walks in to the room. "Are you Mike Montgomery?" He asks, voice less deep than expected. "And are you Veronica Hastings?" He turns his head toward the lady in the room.
"Yes, I am," they confirm.
"Alright, let's get this done with," he bellows, taking a seat in the seat adjacent from them.
