Claire has told Rita that Jacqui and Bianca had accused Fallyn for Dory's [...] and that they will accuse Sarah, as well. When Jacqui tries speaking to Sarah about what really happened, Rita forbids her from contacting Sarah. Jacqui leaves a note in Sarah's car with her phone number urging Sarah to call her. Fallyn, who is supposed to be on her way to tennis practice, sees Sarah when she finds and reads the note. Sarah drives home, not realising that Fallyn is following her. When Sarah arrives home, she calls Jacqui and they talk, with Sarah eventually admitting that Fallyn murdered Dory and that Bianca wasn't involved.

She chases Sarah around the house until Sarah collapses in the yard, suffering an asthma attack. Fallyn prevents her from using her inhaler, squeezing the medication out of it and placing it out of Sarah's reach.

Jacqui arrives at Sarah's house to check on her and finds Sarah lying on the patio. At the hospital, it is revealed that Sarah has died and Rita blames Jacqui for her daughter's death. Jacqui later voices her suspicions about Fallyn to Chad, Bianca's boyfriend and Coach Tennyson's assistant, when she stops by to ask him if Fallyn showed up at tennis practice the day before. Chad tells her that Fallyn never showed. Jacqui goes home and calls Fallyn's father Michael and voices her suspicions about Fallyn to him, too. Michael agrees with Jacqui and begins to suspect his daughter. Fallyn and Claire then enter the house and confront Michael about letting Jacqui in their home. Fallyn angrily accuses Michael of plotting against her, suggesting to Claire that Jacqui murdered Sarah because she was the one who found her. However, Jacqui sets a trap and Fallyn falls into it; she hadn't mentioned to Fallyn that she had found Sarah on the patio.

Thus, Fallyn is revealed as the [...] of both Dory and Sarah, much to both Michael and Claire's shock.
