Wilden Conundrum

Episode Nine

Season 4B Premiere

The strawberry blonde looks up at the policeman standing in front of her. She notices how he's about to kneel down before her.

Kenneth extracts the bulldozer from the foundation and sighed in appreciation at what he accomplished. He was now plotting his next move.

Jessica looks at her immediate brethren and initially sighs a sigh of relief but then her figure disappeared even faster than it had appeared.

The policeman knelt down - inquiring if she was okay - and in response the blonde cryptically and slowly raised her head and then hisses

Backing away, hands begging for mercy - eyes widening more and more by the moment - the policeman stuttered but it was to no use.

Emily cried and sobbed and wretched on her mother's shoulders. Withdrawing her embrace she cried even more and proclaimed that she can't do this. In response her mother put a firm grip on her shoulders and declared that no daughter of hers will ever give up when times are rough.

Little did she know that the worst of her daughter's problems was the fact that she didn't even know who she was impregnated by.

Aria looked at Byron then at the panting figure of her father's ex lover. She wanted so desperately to leave and have sex with her boyfriend -especially since she was blackmailing her in to doing so - but she wasn't quite yet certain if she should abandon the situation they are currently in.

Even so, moments later, she made a decision - and she vowed to her self that she would see it through.

It wasn't long after she saw her daughter disappear that Jessica fell to the ground and was immediately tended to by unrecognizable paramedics.

A man woke up beside a woman. This woman did not want to be with him, but times were rough and she needed someone to comfort her - so she fell in to the arms of a man named Lucas. If only she knew what trouble he would bring with him, perhaps she'd had thought twice...

Someone is shown walking up to the Hasting's house and writing some more graffiti. The camera pans to show that the graffiti is the frequented letter A on their painting canvas. When Melissa leaves she sees this and smirks a little bit but decides not to tell her mother.

Meanwhile, inside, Veronica is crying at her dinner table - trying very hard not to wretch and sob even more -when suddenly her doorbell rings.

Hanna turned around in bed to see the man of her dreams and the man who is ultimately helping her cope with the grief of having lost her ex.

She tells her self that it's for the better that she's cheating on her boyfriend because if she weren't to do so then she'd have no way to cope, but in spite of that she can't seem to justify the intent behind her actions. Upon finishing contemplating everything, Hanna wakes Lucas up.

"I am your daughter, and I desperately need somebody to help me," the voice of the figure that looked like Spencer let her self in the house.

"What's up?" Lucas inquired, rubbing his eyes with his closed fists, waking up and putting on his boxers. "Is there something wrong?" He adds.

Hanna confesses that she doesn't know exactly if everything will work out. She adds that she doesn't want to go against her moral standards.

Veronica looked initially puzzled at the woman who looked like her daughter then she noticed that she had slightly different looking hair. This immediately makes her feel a little bit suspicious about who this woman could be or what she wants or even what her intents are in coming here.

The woman walks to a lamp then caresses it and comments on what a pretty house she has. Veronica blurts out that she doesn't want anything being touched, after which she swore she noticed a smirk running across the lady's face.

Aria looks deep within Meredith's eyes and orders that she leave. Her father raises his voice and commands that she be quiet.

Everything settled down after a moment and it finally came about that Veronica and this unknown lady were to have a civilized conversation.

She mixes the coffee she's serving to her guest then serves it to her with a vague grin on her face. "So, who are you?" She asks, taking her seat.

Flames gouge his eyes out with sincerity, and Byron orders that his daughter go to her room - too which she storms up the steps and does so.

Meanwhile, outside, Meredith is walking down the sidewalk with a clearly devious grin on her face. She takes out her phone and calls someone.

"Well, where do I start?" Begins the lady, blowing on her coffee. "I'm a successful businesswoman, with an expertise in manipulation..."

Veronica commands that she stop right there. "I don't remember my daughter ever being a businesswoman, or a manipulator."

"Well, obviously, there's a lot of things you don't know about your daughter - like what she did in her free time," The lady winked, setting the coffee cup down and exiting.

"Mission accomplished," Meredith declared. "Now what else do you want me to do?" She added, grin still pouring across her placid face.

The voice sounded alarmingly like Kenneth's, but then again it sounded a lot like an imitation of someone's voice. "I appreciate what you've done, Meredith, but I don't think we need you anymore."

"Um, what?" Meredith asks. "I'm confused. One day you really need me, yet the other you couldn't wait for me to go?"

Veronica takes out her phone and rushes to dial her husband's number. "Please. Just listen. I think our daughter is alive."

"What?" Peter recanted. "That's impossible. She died."

She said that she's beginning to doubt she was actually ran over, and that the note she had in her hands was highly important after all.

"Aren't you a lawyer? Can't you do something about this? Oh, wait. You were fired." Peter recalls. "I'm changing my number so you don't call me again," he adds, to which Veronica hangs up the phone in shock and cries for a little while.

Mona takes out her diary and keys in an entry that details how she wishes to kill Marion - but unknown to her someone is peering in at her.

Jenna looks at her mother with a befuddled expression on her face and reaches for the necklace but she retains it from her reach.

"Mom, you are not doing this to me!" She exclaimed, tears of determination and angst in her eyes, for she and only she knew her mother's real intentions of being here.

Her girlfriend stepped in and demanded that everything simmer down. "No!" Jenna's mother detested. "I will not leave until you leave!"

"Well, that sure isn't going to happen," Shana declared, wrapping her left arm around Jenna's neck, emitting the signal of companionship.

Meredith continues to walk down the street with tears in her eyes and when she sees two dead blondes on the ground in front of her she breaks down and cries and calls the police, but right when she dials it someone appears from behind her and strangles her until she's dead.

Her eyes are blank and she takes in the sight of her captor and immediately she doesn't have any wonder about why she did this because she knows what she did to deserve this fateful end to her death.

Kenneth walks down the street with a look of grim determination on his face then takes out his phone and calls someone. He says that he proposes that if that person moves in to the soon to be built manor that he will personally loan him forty thousand dollars. "So. Will you?" He asks.

Ashley Marin cheers with glee as she is released from prison. She vows the first thing she will do is go and protect her daughter.

Meanwhile, in Rosewood, someone approaches Mona's house with matches and lighters and gasoline slivers in hand.
