When Hanna Marin lied to Caleb and the rest of her friends, it was not because she is one of the four main liars of the series, it is because she knows that going rogue on a mission to find answers requires her to become AWOL in order to fly under A.D.’s radar. Hanna is all alone, but she is determined to make Noel Kahn confess about him being A.D., and killing Sara Harvey, so she devises a plan that may endanger her life and the ones around her. Noel makes the mistake of dropping a trash bag miles away from where he lives and Hanna has the fortune of picking that bag up finding in it a cellphone containing Sara’s phone number. This is the proof that Hanna needed, but to make sure, she tells Noel to meet her at a local bar where a beer full of sleeping pills is waiting for him.

Emily decides to tell Paige about what has been going on with her and the others’ lives, but all Paige could do is advise Emily to let Sabrina in since she is no longer her one and only, this may be harder said than done. Later, Emily is joined by Spencer and together they go investigate into Noel’s old cabin, where they hope to get new information of Mary Drake’s long-lost child. They find a USB flash drive containing proof that Noel was at the dollhouse they were held hostage all those years back, assumingly helping Charlotte, and they move quickly to try to bring him down once and for all. When a tree branch breaks Spencer’s kitchen window due to a strong storm, she sees a shadow of a person going into her house, she then calls Marco, and when he arrives, Spencer sees that the flash drive containing all that information is gone.
