Earlier Emily had sent Taylor and the girls a message saying that they needed to meet her in the woods, something to do with Alison and making peace. So here Taylor was, walking in the woods trying to find the shed that they all used to hang out in.

"Who's idea was this again?" Hanna asks, not happy that she had to take a walk through the woods.

"Emily's mom." Taylor tells her sister whilst swatting the bugs away from her face.

"The shed was me. My mom just said we should do something for us." Emily explains whilst taking the lead with walking through the woods.

However, it seems like Hanna was getting fed up with the bugs, something Taylor found highly amusing. "Well, couldn't we do something without mosquitoes?"

"They're not mosquitoes. They're gnats, Hanna." Taylor corrects.

"Well they're attracted to your perfume." Spencer jokes. "And your hair product." She carries on.

"Oh, don't forget the lip gloss." Taylor adds whilst laughing. Hanna looks at her twin with a death glare making Taylor laugh even harder.

"So what are you saying, I attract flies?" Hanna asks both Taylor and Spencer sarcastically.

"Gnats." Aria corrects this time.

Emily stops walking for a moments and turns to face the rest of the girls. "Why do I feel like this is the wrong way?"

Spencer shakes her head, "No, this is it. I remember that tree. It's the halfway point. There's 136 steps left to the shed." She states as if it's the most obvious thing.

"And you just happen to know how many steps it takes to get to a shed in the woods?" Taylor asks rhetorically although she isn't too surprised that Spencer knew that.

"Whatever, I still think that this place is the wrong place to do whatever this is... this shrine." Spencer says getting back on track with what they  came out there to do.

"It's not a shrine." Emily defends. "It's just a place to remember Alison. What's wrong with that?"

"Doing it way out here makes it look like we have something to hide." Taylor tells the girl not wanting to give Wilden any ideas.

"You're worried about what other people think?" 

"I'm worried about what everyone thinks." Taylor answers the same time as Spencer does.

"Well, aren't you?" Spencer asks. "Do you really want to give that creepy detective more reasons to question us?" 

As soon as Wilden was brought up Taylor and Hanna had had enough of the conversation so they just started walking towards the shed again.

"Hanna, Taylor. Why are you both so quiet?" Aria asks as she catches up with the twins.

"I'm trying to keep the bugs in my nose and out of my mouth." Hanna tells the girls not wanting to mention that Wilden was the reason why she was off.

"You're allowed to have an opinion on this." Emily tells the twins.

"You want our opinion?" Hanna starts.

"I say we hold off, till we know for sure she's still not here." Taylor finishes.

Taylor looks at the girls and notices their shocked expressions. "What!" They all exclaim.

"You think she's still alive?" Emily asks incredulously.

"Taylor, Hanna. They found her body." Spencer tries to reason with the pair but Taylor still can't help but have a feeling that something wasn't right.
