Of the four girls, Emily was the one who had the closest relationship with Alison, who she was in love with. Although Alison frequently mocks Emily's feelings, she also professes a fondness for Emily, telling Emily that Emily's the only one who understands her and that Emily is her "favorite." Alison appears after Emily passes out from carbon monoxide poisoning, telling Emily that she knows A's identity, but is afraid Emily will be killed if she reveals it. It is unclear if Alison's appearance was a hallucination or reality.
