The girls looked around, trying to see what had made the thud noise they heard as Aria whirled back to Spencer. "Did things just get incredibly worse?" she asked. "I can't believe this. Ian's dead." Emily let out. "No, zombie's don't text!" Hanna snapped. "Okay? He is alive somewhere." she finished. "Spence..." Josie trailed off, noticing Spencer's quietness. "I have to get this phone home before Melissa realises that it's gone." she says quietly before going to leave. "Okay, you put it back, and then what do we do?" Emily asked, making Spencer turn back to her. "Do we call the cops?" Aria asked. "Oh, yeah, because that always works out so well for us." Josie said sarcastically.
"Why is Ian texting Melissa?" Aria asked urgently. "And why is Melissa answering him?" Hanna asked from where she stood behind Aria, next to Josie. "Is she? I mean, we don't know how long this has been going on." Emily said, making a point. They had no idea if Melissa knew or not. "Spencer, look, you've gotta find out what Ian told Melissa you're the only one who can find out what he wants." Aria said as she looked at Spencer, who was stressing out. "And where he is." Emily added before they heard more thuds above them, rocks falling onto the glass roof. "Let's get out of here!" Spencer exclaimed before they all walked out of the greenhouse.
Once they were far enough away, they started talking again. "Let's finish this in the morning, okay? I'm cold, damp and scared. We can talk at school." Hanna said, forgetting that they have to take 'space' from each other. "We can't talk at school, remember? The four of us are supposed to be having 'separate time.'" Josie said with a frown. "Doctor's orders." Emily said. "So, what are we supposed to do, not talk to each other? We're in the same classes." Hanna said in disbelief. "We just have to play it cool." Josie said, trying to comfort Hanna, before they heard more noises, making them turn to see Jason DiLaurentis putting things in the trash. "It's Jason." Josie said in shock. "Did he move back in?" Hanna questioned as they all moved a bit, to see more.
"What is all that?" Spencer asked as they watched Jason pick up some things that were on the ground. "That's all that stuff that those people left on my curb when Ali went missing, those tributes." Aria let out. "Maya said her family kept those things when they moved in. They didn't have the heart to throw them out." Emily said softly. "Apparently Jason's moved on." Spencer said almost bitterly. "What's he doing back in that house?" Hanna questioned as they watched him go inside the house before all the girls shared a look of uneasiness.

"Space from the girls?" Richie asked as Josie and him walked to school. "Yep," she said, popping the 'p'. "We almost told her about 'A' and then suddenly we couldn't, it was like 'A' was watching us and knew what we were going to do," Josie said, linking her arm with his as they neared the school. "It'll be okay, things are going to be back to normal soon enough," he said, trying to be positive. "My dad called last night," she said, making him turn to her. "Turns out when your daughter makes headlines, dad's worried," she said bitterly as they walked into school. "Maybe he'll come down here Jo," he said, making her shrug. "I hope so. I miss him." she said with a small smile, making Richie smile.
