Meanwhile, Spencer is still trying to solve the mystery of Alison's disappearance and decides to investigate her brother's involvement. She also attends a dinner with her family, where she learns that her sister Melissa was once engaged to Ian Thomas, a friend of Alison's. This discovery makes Spencer even more suspicious of her brother, who had previously dated Melissa and is now engaged to her again.

Hanna, on the other hand, is dealing with her own family issues. Her mother has come back into town and is pressuring Hanna to be perfect for the homecoming dance. Hanna tries on multiple dresses, but none of them seem to please her mother.

Emily, who is struggling with her sexuality and a crush on her new friend Maya, is trying to figure out her feelings while getting ready for the dance. She ends up going to the dance with her boyfriend Ben, but their night takes a turn for the worse when he gets drunk and physically assaults Emily.

As the girls arrive at the dance, they notice that someone is watching them. They assume it's "A," the mysterious figure who has been tormenting them with secrets and threats since Alison's disappearance. The girls separate and dance with their respective dates, but things quickly take a dark turn when they realize that "A" has somehow managed to lock them inside the school.

The girls try to find a way out, but all the doors and windows are locked. They also notice that "A" has left a message on the chalkboard, taunting them and saying that they will never escape. As they continue to search for an exit, they find a hidden room in the school library that is filled with Alison's belongings.

The girls are shocked to find that Alison had been keeping secrets from them, including a diary that details her relationships with Ian, Jenna Marshall, and other people in their town. As they read through Alison's diary, they realize that she had been blackmailing many people and might have had enemies who wanted to harm her.
