A knock on the door made Avery reluctantly get up from the couch she was lounging on. She shot a quick glance at Jason and Ben, busy in the middle of a hushed conversation. Who could it be, this late at night? Whatever it was, had to be important. She got up from the couch, and headed towards the door, before opening it to reveal-

"Jenna?"

"I need your help. I need to talk to you", Jenna urged.

Avery frowned, before making way for Jenna to enter the house, and closing the door behind her, "What's going on?"

"I'm in trouble"

"Why?"

"Believe it or not, you're the only person I trust right now. Emily isn't picking up my calls. She...", Jenna trailed off.

"Why? What's the matter? Jenna, what happened to Emily?"

"Look, be very careful who you spend time with. Very careful. Somebody close to her, has her completely fooled", Jenna stressed mysteriously, "Tell her that."

The noise from the TV blared out loud, as the five girls stood in the Hastings kitchen watching the news broadcast intently.

"Jury selection is expected to conclude today, and defence attorney Veronica Hastings made a statement to reporters this morning", the woman on the screen chirped, before Mrs. Hastings appeared on the screen, "My client is emotionally exhausted. But he's relieved to know that he's finally going to have the opportunity to clear his name."

"How did this get so big?", Hanna mused, as she switched the TV off, "I mean, it's like all eyes are on Rosewood."

"Okay, how are we gonna do this?", Avery crossed her arms, "For Jenna, out of all the people, to come and warn us, Emily might be in more trouble than we think."

"Well, I made Emily think she's coming over here so we can apologize", Aria joined the conversation, "But when she realizes what this is, she'll probably be more mad at us than she was before."

"I am not looking forward to seeing that", Spencer sighed, before her lawyer genes took over, "In a successful intervention, the loved one feels safe, not judged."

"Great. Right, so we'll start out all warm and fuzzy, and then we just have to hit her with the truth", Hanna rephrased, "And that's your cue."

"Okay, so-"

"Paige was jealous of Ali, we know that Paige was jealous of Maya, and she was with Emily that night, it was easy for her to set us up. And she has the other earring. So she must have Ali's body, right?"

"Yeah. I don't get it", Avery frowned, "If Paige was so into Emily, why would she drug her? And then why would she drug herself?"

"Avery", Spencer whined, "I thought we were all on the same A page here."
