Ever since A had sent that video the girls couldn't stop watching it over and over again, hoping that what they saw would change.

"With all the mumbling and groaning maybe she was gripping because she was..." Hanna tries to come up with a reason for Ian's defense.

"Looking for a weapon to defend herself." Spencer cuts Hanna off, clearly not happy that she's defending Ian, even if it was only a slightest amount.

"Why are you snapping at her?" Taylor asks Spencer full anger. No one snaps at her twin, only her and her mother. "She's just trying to give your creepy brother an out."

"In-law. Okay? Ian is my creepy brother-in-law." Spencer corrects whilst sitting on a chair in defeat.

"Okay." Aria says breaking up the mini argument that was going to happen between the Marin's and Hastings. Which Taylor thought would definitely win. "Whatever he is, he just married your sister and he might be a killer."

"This definitely proves he was with her the night she died." Emily mentions.

Then Hanna starts talking about how they should hand in the video to the police. Before Taylor could reply and agree with Hanna the devil himself appears. Ian shows up and curiously asks about what video they were talking about as he heard a part of their conversation. Spencer quickly shuts the laptop and gets Ian to leave.

It's the next day and Taylor and Hanna were watching Emily and Aria put up a sign for the danceathon. "Hanna, Taylor, does this look even?" Aria asks whilst turning around to face the two. However, when she realises that they weren't paying attention she tries again, "Earth to Taylor and Hanna."

"Sorry, what?" Hanna asks completely confused as she looks up from her laptop. When she finally looks at the poster she says, "Oh yeah, it's fine."

"Remind me again how come you're the chair of the Decorating Committee, and we're the one's decorating?" Aria questions as she gestures to herself and Emily.

"Well Aria, the answer to your question is that Hanna is scared to break a nail and I'm too pretty for hard labour." Taylor tells the girl which causes Hanna, Aria and Emily to jokingly roll their eyes at her.

"I can't climb up there. I'm saving my one good leg for tomorrow night. I'm not scared of braking a nail." Hanna explains whilst giving Taylor a look as she says the last part.

Sean then comes over and mentions how there are only Barack Obama cardboard cutouts and no Michelle's. Hanna then leaves with Sean to sort out the problem.

When Hanna left Spencer came in with her bag glued to her side which has her laptop in. "Hey, are we still doing this at lunch?" Spencer quietly asks.

Taylor and Emily share a look. "If by 'this' you mean taking your laptop to the police, then, yes, we are." Emily tells spencer.

Spencer then tells them how she was getting cold feet, thinking about how A might be setting them up. Taylor did have to agree that Spencer made a good point, she wouldn't put it passed A.

During lunch Taylor and Hanna were walking out of school so they could go and get some coffee when they run into Emily who was having an angry conversation with someone on the phone.

"Was that your mom?" Hanna asks curiously.

Emily shakes her head bitterly, "No. Maya's prison guard at True North."

"How's she holding up?" Taylor wonders.

"Wouldn't know. They won't let me talk to her."

"Why not? What do they have her doing out there in those woods? Building a log cabin?" Hanna jokes.
