Pretty Little Liars - Rebecca Offers Alison A Plea Deal - "To Plea or Not to Plea" (5x22)

Alison is meeting with her lawyer, Rebecca. Rebecca informs her that Veronica has reviewed Alison’s case and agrees that Alison taking the stand is a bad idea since no jury will believe her and there is no one to corroborate her story either. Alison tells her that Cyrus will confirm her story that he called Alison on Thanksgiving Day to meet with him. But Rebecca tells her that since Alison claims that Cyrus was the one who “kidnapped” her, if Cyrus is brought to testify, her kidnapping story will fall apart. Alison tells her that there is someone else who can testify that she was set up. Rebecca asks her if this person knows for a fact where Alison was at the time of the murder but Alison tells her that he doesn’t. Before she can continue, Rebecca cuts her off, saying that however compelling this person’s testimony is, if they can’t corroborate Alison’s story, it’s no use. Alison tells her that she can’t just sit back and hope that she is acquitted. Rebecca tells her that there is another option: the D.A. is offering her a plea bargain. If Alison pleads guilty and names an accomplice, Alison gets sentenced 15 years and can get out in 10 years with good behavior. Rebecca tells her to think it over, but Alison snaps that there is no way she is taking the plea deal because she didn’t kill Mona. Rebecca warns her that if the case goes to trial, her chances of getting acquitted are low since the prosecution has substantial evidence against her. If found guilty, she could go to prison for life without chance for parole. Rebecca also informs her that the police are already building a case against her accomplice who they think is Hanna. Aria, Emily and Hanna keep looking for a way to prove Alison’s innocence without incriminating Mike but when the District Attorney proposes a plea bargain agreement for Ali that includes naming one of the PLLs as her accomplice, the girls intensify their search — not only to save Ali, but to save themselves. Will Ali stick by her story of innocence or will she give up one of the PLLs to save her own skin? Meanwhile, not knowing what is happening back in Rosewood, Spencer gets a much-needed break from all the drama with a night out on the town in London. #PLL #PrettyLittleLiars
