She goes to the location and sees a limo. The door opens and she enters to see "A.D." sitting there. They reveal themselves as Sydney Driscoll, who quickly admits to shooting Spencer, rescuing Jenna from the blind school, and creating the board game. She offers Aria the chance to join the A-Team and Aria realizes she is wearing an earpiece and the driver of the limo is the real "A.D.", prompting Aria to confront Sydney. Sydney reveals that Aria has a long way to go to prove herself to "A.D." and they leave Aria at an unknown location.
At the end of the episode, "A.D." asks Aria, via text message, if she has made a decision yet.
