Kelly to Faran

Kelly Beasley is one of the Little Liars and main character in the television series, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin on Max. She is portrayed by Mallory Bechtel.

Kelly is the popular girl at Millwood High School who does her best to keep the peace within her family. After her twin's murder, Kelly began behaving like Karen making Faran suspect that she was Karen, but it turned out that she only wanted to be like Karen because of their father. Later, she became the sixth Little Liar after befriending the girls and becoming A's new target.

Biography

Kelly is the identical twin sister of Karen and the daughter of Tom and Martha Beasley. The Beasley family portrayed a perfect front to the town of Millwood, representing the towns greatest wealth, perfection and "prestige" with their patriarch being the domineering sheriff. However, the family struggles behind picturesque walls with a verbally intimidating Tom, a sheltered Martha, and the conniving twins that do everything possible to please their father. Karen and Kelly often switched places, pretending to be the other to fool their teachers or parents.

As she and her sister grew up, they became friends with the outgoing and party-loving Imogen Adams. Together, the trio partied and hung out becoming the "It" girls of Millwood.

Personality

Where Karen is the troublemaker who revels in chaos, Kelly is the peacemaker who chooses harmony. She is more reserved and comparatively kinder than her more domineering sister, nonetheless, Kelly never waivers in her loyalty to her sister. Underneath her quiet exterior lies a darker side to her, more like her twin than she lets on. She exhibits the same levels of manipulation as her sister and can execute well thought schemes of revenge when angered.

Her sister's death immense waves of despairing wallow and guilt. Nonetheless, despite being the mastermind of the Spirit Dance stunt, Kelly never blamed Imogen or her newfound friends for Karen's death, nor did she seek out further retribution like her father. Rather, she punished herself by self-harming. No one at her home life made her feel safe or alleviated her guilt, which amplified them ten-fold. She found a surprisingly safe person in Faran, who offered her a person to talk to for the first time. Through that connection, Kelly makes friends with the other girls, who eventually welcome her into their group. When Kelly learned that her father started the chain of events that led to Karen's death, she finally had somewhere to place them blame other than herself. She found her voice against Tom, spoke up for herself, and tried to save her friends.

Physical Appearance

Kelly is a tall teenager with shoulder-length, straight blonde hair, round green eyes, an oval-shaped face identical in appearance to her twin Karen.

Series

Season 1

OS101 SC79

Kelly volunteers in the nurses office marking inventory when Noa Olivar drops off her latest urine sample, per the terms of her parole. Noa casually greets Kelly, who stays quiet, ignoring her altogether. Kelly goes to dance class where she gets a dancing role in Swan Lake. This pleases her until Faran Bryant gets the role as the Black Swan over Karen, who questions the decision. Karen only gets a supporting role. The twins exchange a look of annoyance over the situation. After school, at the Beasley household, Martha asks her daughters how school was. Kelly states it was fine, but Karen complains that everyone is insane, particularly Faran Bryant, a girl who’s- “…better than you,” finishes the Sheriff. The mood shifts noticeably. Kelly volunteers that Karen is really good but the Sheriff wants Karen’s word on it. She claims she’s better. He tells her to look around her, at all the nice things. He has it because he’s the best at everything, and demands she be the best at everything. Martha brightly asks if anyone wants desert.[1]

In a flashback to six months ago, a party rages inside the Beasley household, with Imogen Adams downing a cup of alcohol. She screeches happily upon seeing the Beasley twins. She wants to raid their dad's liquor cabinet, but the twins refuse. Their dad will check it when they get back from their church retreat. Imogen wants Greg Mantzoukas to get them some, though Karen isn't speaking to Greg as they're in a fight. If the bitches want more, they have to get it themselves. As the night rages on, Karen does a shot when Kelly rushes over. They need to talk about Greg and Imogen. She whispers into Karen's ear nervously. Karen storms through the house just as Imogen finds her. Karen explodes over Imogen, kissing her boyfriend. Imogen protested that wasn't what happened, but Kelly had seen them together. What she saw was Greg kissing her. He comes from the hall, telling Karen it wasn't a big deal as Imogen is drunk. Karen tells her to get out. Imogen tries to explain, but Karen calls her a slut and demands she get out.

OS102 SC81

In the present day, Karen and Kelly attend Tabby's double feature screening of Jordan Peele movies. The video starts with a campaign video to Vote Karen For Queen. It rolls into the video from the party six months ago. Karen is drunk and demands affirmation from the boy behind the camera, who wants to see how hot she is. In the audience, Karen demands that Kelly tells her what's going on, but she doesn't know. In the video, Karen continues to berate Greg while goading the boy into revealing himself. He agrees to show her but only if she shows him first. In the theatre, Karen becomes emotional and leaves the theatre. The video cuts off to show the rest of the campaign, as Karen runs out of the theatre crying. Kelly runs after her, catching the attention of Wes as they flee.

The following morning, Kelly enters Principal Clanton's office posing as Karen. She lies about being Karen. She sits down to withdraw from her Spirit Queen race. She doesn't deserve it. Imogen and Tabitha didn't destroy her posters - she did it herself because she felt threatened by them. She knows it's quite the admission and is ready for her punishment. This is why she truly believes, in her heart of hearts, that Imogen deserves to be spirit queen and not her.

Kelly comes home to her teary twin reading comments. She admits people hate her, revealing that she's Karen. Kelly assures her that no one hates her they're just bored. Karen asks what the plan is, and if Clanton recognized her. Kelly admits that he completely thought he was her, Karen. Karen has a week's detention for the posters, and they have to hope Imogen goes to the dance. If she does, then by Monday, no one will be talking about that stupid video. Those bitches like movies, so they'll give Imogen a starring role in one. She's thinking a classic - Carrie.

OS102 SC146

The night of the dance comes around, and Imogen finds Kelly, who she initially mistakes for Karen. Kelly admits her twin is around. Imogen wants to make things right, so Kelly agrees to relay her message. She congratulates Imogen for winning against her sister as not many people can do that. She can't wait to see her up on the stage tonight. She flashes back to before the dance when the twins pour red paint into a bucket, smiling sinisterly. In the present, she smiles after Imogen and then goes back to dancing with Greg Mantzoukas and the other boys. When Imogen is crowned Spirit Queen, Karen is in the rafters ready to push the red paint onto Imogen. She "falls" out of the rafters and lands on the stage below, dying instantly upon contact.[2] Kelly screams in horror and rushes to her sister, collapsing by her side in sobs.

She makes it home where Tom and Martha have already heard the news of Karen's death. The Sheriff gruffly questions Kelly what her sister was doing up there. Kelly pretends to not know though her father doesn’t believe her. She offers up the possibility Karen willingly committed suicide to his shock. Mrs. Beasley utters an ear-shattering wail.

Kelly goes back to school on Monday, finding a moment of reprieve in the bathroom, until she encounters Imogen. Kelly says she didn’t want to stay home and bear with her mother. Imogen sincerely states her sympathies, but Kelly doesn’t want to hear it. Imogen stops her and asks if Karen knew about the flyer her mom got before her death, but Kelly is insulted to hear Imogen is thinking about her mother and scolds her. The pregnant girl is left bewildered. She goes home afterwards and looks at a photo of herself, Imogen, and Karen together. She cries over the memory, later inviting Imogen to Karen's funeral on Thursday.

The funeral for Karen begins, but Martha can barely suppress her grief and begins to wail. Kelly is forced to take her mother outside, but Mrs. Beasley is shocked at the sight of Imogen among the mourners. Imogen tries to express her sorry and Kelly tries to say she invited her. But an angered Mrs. Beasley call her shameless and prays to Hell Imogen’s child is taken from her like Karen was to her. Upset, Imogen runs away.

At the Beasley residence, Mrs. Beasley mistakenly drops a glass cup. Karen comforts her mother and says she has it covered. Mr. Beasley drunkenly enters the room, asking what broke this time. Kelly explains it was an accident and tries to clean it up. He places a hand on his wife’s shoulder, who cries that their baby was is gone. Tom, however, corrects her that Karen as ripped from them. Kelly scolds him for his language as he is about to curse the girls, believing they must feel sorry. Tom tells his remaining daughter they aren’t yet, but they will for the rest of their lives as they will suffer. Kelly is confused. Her father reveals that tomorrow they will be expelled, and jail so help him. “As they took away your sister’s life, we will take theirs,” he vows, “And by the time I am through with them, they will wish they were dead. The whole five of those little… lying… bitches.” Kelly, a glass hard in hand, rises with a hard glare crushing the glass in her hand. Blood seeps to the floor.

After her father's cruel words, Kelly delivers a statement the next morning to Principal Clanton admitting the truth of what she and Karen had planned at the Spirit Week Dance. Her statement confirms that Karen fell to her death accidentally, and wasn't driven to suicide by the five girls and their stunt. Imogen and Kelly sit at an old pair of swings, the latter apologizing for her mother’s actions. They bond over their losses, and Imogen thanks her for speaking up for them. Tearful, Kelly confesses the Carrie stunt was her idea and thus Karen’s death was her death. The girl collapses in Imogen’s arms, crying as Imogen comforts her.[3]

With things returning to a semblance of normalcy, Kelly moves her dance locker to Karen's, which catches the attention of Faran. Kelly likes Karen's locker better. Once in class, Faran and Henry rehearse the scene from Swan Lake. Afterwards, Giry talks to Faran in her office. She wants Faran to work one-on-one with Kelly to get caught up on what she's missed. Faran requests Henry instead, though Giry refuses, as Kelly has dedicated herself to Swan Lake. It's been a positive distraction for the grieving girl, so Giry's doing this for both of them. Faran needs the help badly and Kelly needs the distraction.

In ballet practice, Kelly compliments Faran's extension. She then apologizes for having to do this together. She doesn't know why Giry asked her to help Faran as she's not as good of a dancer as her. Faran has an asterisk by her name - Faran Bryant, the only reason she got cast as the black swan is because she's black. At least, that's what Karen told her. Kelly asks if she really said those words and Faran feigns surprise. She thought Karen was the walking gaslighting microaggression. Giry only feels sorry for Kelly because her sister died, so they should just get through this. Kelly admits they don't have to practice together. They can do separate things, while Faran continues to just “be a queen, girl.” Faran flashes back to Karen telling her about the exact same thing in practice.

During another rehearsal, Kelly stretches at the bar when Faran comes in. She apologizes for how she acted at their last session. She was out of line and is sorry about Karen, something she hasn't said yet. Kelly appreciates her. She misses her sister a lot, which is hard for her to think about. Faran read once that twins can feel each other's trauma, and Kelly admits it feels like that. They would have done anything for each other. She was her best friend. Faran notices that Kelly is wearing Karen's leotard. Kelly brushes it off and wants to get started.[4]

Faran still believes that Kelly is Karen, so she confides her suspicions in Giry, citing a scar on the bottom of Kelly's foot that is eerily similar to the one Karen had from the razor blade incident. Giry urges her to stop talking. After closing the door, she advises Faran to stop snooping and confesses that Kelly self-harms. She refuses to say more.

Kelly meets with Faran at Pinball Pizza on Halloween. She expresses her mild surprise that Faran wanted to meet up, to the latter’s fake agreement. Faran compliments Kelly as becoming a a better dancer. Kelly admits she’s always been one, though could never show it as Karen had to be the star. Faran brushes it off as sibling silvery. Kelly says she can’t stop thinking about her sister or the night of the dance, wishing it went all differently. Faran notices the scar on her hand, where after the funeral Kelly gripped a shard of glass hard. Faran timidly asks if she did it to herself. Kelly believes it to be a cliché for the ballerina who overstresses and Faran kindly says if she ever needs anything, she can talk to her. She invites her to the party, which Kelly accepts.

OS105 Kelly-Faran Still

She attends the party but ends up making out with Greg Mantzoukas in a back room, unknowingly getting caught by Faran, who uses this act to fuel her twin-swapping theory. Faran comes up behind a tipsy Kelly, asking if she’s having fun. She excitedly affirms. However, Faran quickly confronts her that she saw her with Greg. Kelly tries to explain but Faran goes on that she gaslit her and the school and feels stupid for having felt bad for her. Kelly tells her “Girl, you’re wrong.” Faran points out how she used to call her “girl”, Karen. Kelly lamely says Greg is a friend and it was a moment as they both miss her. Faran admits she thinks she’s Karen, who sent Kelly to do the dirty work up in the rafters. Kelly nervously laughs, calling her spiraling. Faran continues on her tirade, accusing her of pretending to be Kelly. Unbeknownst to them, “A” is listening. Kelly yells if it’s so hard to believe she can be the great dancer, be popular and have the hot boyfriend, if Kelly Beasley can be talented and popular too. Faran confides in her that her life may be in danger, and “Kelly” didn’t fall but was pushed, and that person could now be after her. Kelly warns her to never talk to her again.

Kelly tells Giry about the incident at the party, with Giry recounting the event as Kelly being an emotional wreck. She removes Faran from the part of the Black Swan and forbids her from speaking to Kelly every again. At the Beasley house, Kelly excitedly tells her mother she’s the lead in the school play now. Seemingly detached from her reality, Martha turns to her daughter and calls that wonderful, but calls her Karen. Kelly corrects her mother, that she’s Kelly. She decides to get her medication as it’ll make her feel better.[5]

During the next ballet class, Giry claps to get their attention, announcing that she's invited the Director of Repertoire at ABT, Madame Lorraine, to their premiere of Swan Lake. Madame Lorraine will also be attending classes tomorrow to critique anyone valiant enough to perform a variation for her. She asks the class to let her know by the end of the day. Kelly marches past Faran on her way out of the room, but Faran calls her back, wanting to apologize. She was out of line for saying those things at Imogen's party. Kelly snaps back that when she told Giry about the horrible shit Faran spewed at her, Giry was ready to throw her out of Swan Lake. The only reason she's still there is because Kelly told her not to throw Faran out. She walks off as Faran holds in her frustration.

That night after school, Kelly talks to Greg Mantzoukas on the stage. She asks where he ran off too after they hooked up. After they hooked up, he was chewed out by Tabby, who Kelly heard punched Tyler in the face. He confirms that it was his nose and that Tyler must have been embarrassed because Greg hasn't seen him at school since. She thinks that's good as he's an asshole, and it all started with his stupid video, anyway. He thinks it started before then and tries to kiss her, but she denies him. It's not cheating on her as Karen's gone. She misses her sister, they both do, and that's why they kissed at the party. He doesn't think he misses her as he's maybe always wanted her. He kisses her and they continue to kiss as he lays her down on the stage. As things heat up, she tells him to stop several times but he doesn't, not until she pushes him off her and stands up. He remarks that the Beasley girls like it rough. That might have been her sister but it's not her. If he wants a chance in hell with her, he'd better be at Swan Lake front and center with flowers. She tells him goodbye as she has to practice. He stares at her for a moment before walking off. Both are unaware that A watches from offstage.

On Tuesday, the girls dance for Madame Lorraine. Faran performs first, with Lorraine pointing out that Faran favors her left side, asking if she's ever been injured. Kelly blurts out that Faran has scoliosis and a crazy scar on her back. In this case, Lorraine is even more impressed. Faran gives Kelly a triumphant smirk.

Kelly continues to practice after school in the gymnasium. She stretches on the stage when she gets a text from an unknown person asking if she's Kelly or Karen. She looks up to see a looming figure dressed in Swan Lake clothing. She assumes the figure is Henry, and notices he's holding a butcher knife. She jumps off the stage and flees from him down the aisle. He swings the knife at her and she falls to the ground to avoid it. She throws a chair at him but he deflects it with ease. She runs to the auditorium door which is locked, all while screaming for help. She bangs on the door screaming for help. She dodges A's stab which goes through the wooden door. She flees back to the stage, knocking over chairs in the process. She jumps onto the stage and crawls away from him. She runs to the door at the bottom of a flight of stairs, only to find that it is also locked. She screams for help then turns to face her attacker, who looms at the top of the staircase. She screams out that she's Kelly, repeating the fact as she slides to the ground sobbing. She covers her eyes and when she looks back up, A is gone. She covers her mouth as she sobs. Subsequently, Kelly drops out of Swan Lake and Faran gets the part back.[6]

Faran finds Kelly after her meeting with Giry, asking to talk. Kelly scoffs that now Faran believes she's Kelly, wondering if her screams or tears convinced her. This confuses Faran, with Kelly snapping that now Faran is pretending she didn't get her boyfriend to attack her, or maybe it was someone else under that mask. She made her point pretty clear with the knife. Faran asks if someone tried to stab her. Kelly hisses back that she should have her father arrest her. If she talks to her again, maybe she still will.

Students, parents, and everyone in-between rallies at the Millwood Fall Carnival. Martha, Tom, and Kelly walk the carnival grounds as the matriarch eagerly suggests cornhole like they used too. Tom grimly says they played that when there was four of them with two teams of two. It doesn't make sense to play it now. Kelly scoffs that she's not enough. Martha holds her daughter and declares they'll bob for apples.[7]

On Thanksgiving week, Imogen goes to the Beasley House to tell Kelly about her rape after the house party in March. Kelly feels bad as she was horrible that night. Imogen is there and chooses to trust her because she needs her help. Kelly is working the blood drive as the girls need to work it too. She's carrying the DNA of her attacker but needs blood from all boys in school to do a paternity test. They don't need a lot, just a few drops, like what they'd get from a cotton ball. While this is insane, they were friends and she hopes that Kelly will do the right thing now.

OS108 Little Liars-Kelly Still

On Tuesday, Kelly presents the Little Liars as volunteers for the drive. Nurse Simmons says they can start by ensuring people show up. Imogen smiles as they will, as she wants blood from everyone. The girls present to their respective classes. They desperately need their help. America, including Millwood, is in crisis as they have the biggest blood shortage in decades. That's why the administration has agreed that if they donate blood tomorrow, they'll be excused from classes for the rest of the day. For even more of an incentive, they'll be giving away free passes to The Orpheum if they sign up today.

At the drive, Faran and Tabby manage the sign-in desk while Kelly saves the cotton balls from the male students arms. She drops them into a trash bin. Mouse checks on Ash who says she's fine. She thinks he looks cute with his sleeve rolled up like a greaser. She's weird but he loves it. Noa offers to replace Kelly's trash bag and she agrees.

After the drive, the girls hand the bags over to Marjorie with their separation instructions for the jocks and non-jocks. They have the names of every boy who donated, too. Marjorie will drop it off with her friend at the lab and they'll wait a week or two.

The girls head to Pinball Pizza. Mouse notes that it feels anti-climatic with Tabby referencing another movie. Kelly is dreading Thanksgiving so Faran suggests going out to a club that doesn't ID. Henry told her about it and it sounds fun. Giry is pushing Giselle for a year and she needs to dance, even if it's just in some hole of a wall shit club. Noa agrees but it has to be just the girls. Mouse, Tabby, Faran, Noa, Imogen, and Kelly head to the club and dance together happily. The girls share their favorite clubbing movie of all time while drinking. Tabby welcomes Kelly Beasley to the loser club and they all toast.

Kelly comes home to her father sitting in the dark at the table, waiting for her. She was dancing with the girls and texted mama. She was asleep when he got home. She asks where he's been and he flashes back to making out with a guy. He lies that he was working, asking where else he would have been. She doesn't know but he's just not wearing her uniform.

Greg and Kelly make out in his car as he asks if she's sure about this, as she didn't want him to do anything last time. She just had the worst, most miserable Thanksgiving dinner with her parents. She doesn't need him to make this any harder. She stops him before he kisses her, asking if he can call her Karen. They proceed to make out.[8]

By morning in the Beasley house, Martha reprimands Kelly for abandoning Father Karras, who is counting on her. She protests that she's not abandoning him, as she can do both. Tom enters the dining room, asking why the two of them are yelling. Martha briskly says that Kelly volunteered to help Father Karras with a youth group at St. Maud's, but now she's working on a dance piece with one of those girls who hurt Karen. Kelly snaps back that Faran didn't hurt Karen. Besides, Martha would like the piece as it's biblical. Martha snaps back that she can't count her girl for anything, likening father to daughter. Tom thought they decided she was done with dancing. It's just Swan Lake, which is a shame, since Tom was relieved when she quit. The fact is, Kelly was never was the dancer her sister was. Kelly pauses for a moment as she stares at her food. They all miss Karen, and he isn't the only one in pain. But he's the only one who's lashing out like a drunk bully. He cruelly responds that that if there were any justice in this world, it would have been her who slipped and not Karen. Kelly angrily yells "fuck you!" to her father and storms off to her room. Martha wearily murmurs that he's so troubled and tortured. He gets up and leaves the room.

Kelly saunters into the cafeteria looking exceptionally like Karen. She sits on Greg's leg and drapes over him as the students of Millwood High murmur in surprise.

On Tuesday morning, Faran confronts Kelly at the dance lockers for kissing Henry. Kelly insists it was an accident - she didn't know what she was doing or thinking. Things have been really intense at home. Faran notices blood trickling down Kelly's leg. The girl quickly says it's her period, but a fresh cut on her leg says otherwise. Faran sees an open kit in the lockers. Kelly quickly closes it, claiming it's her sewing kit, but Faran knows better. She presses Kelly to talk to her. They sit on a bench as Kelly opens up about her father, how he's always been bad. But now he resents that Karen is dead and Kelly is alive. He said as much to her face. Faran calls him a lunatic that she shouldn't listen to him. Hurting herself is not the answer. Kelly doesn't know what to do. Sometimes she wishes the same thing he does, that she was Karen, or the one that died. Faran refuses to let her say the words or even think them. She curses Tom off and insists that Kelly promise not to hurt herself anymore, and that she'll talk to someone. Karen and Kelly might have been horrible to her, but she thinks they can break that cycle. They share a tight hug.

Faran rings Kelly's doorbell as she needs to tell both of them something about her dad. They sit at the table as the news sinks in for Kelly, who had no idea. He's going off the deep end and went after her dad. It's going to get worse. Kelly asks if her mom knew and she did. He's always had his demons, even back in high school when he forced himself on that poor girl just to prove something. Faran realizes what's happening. She asks which poor girl Tom hurt. Martha reveals that her name was Angela.[9]

OS109 Kelly-Henry STill

The next day, Faran gets an urgent text from Kelly asking to meet. The girls meet at the swings. Kelly's dad is spiraling as he knows what mama said to the both of them. Now, he won't let her or her mom out of the house. She can't go back to school until after Christmas break, to keep her from causing more trouble. They're basically under house arrest. Faran wants Kelly to know the truth. Her dad might be partially, if not fully responsible, for Karen's death. Kelly still thinks that Karen's death is an accident. Faran tells her the truth. There's a crazy masked killer terrorizing her and the girls. Tyler Marchand isn't missing, he was murdered. Henry wasn't the one who went after Kelly in the auditorium it was A. It was also A who pushed Karen out of the rafters for being a bully. Kelly tries to put the pieces together. Faran tells her that A is avenging the death of Angela Waters and punishing all the people who hurt her. She and the girls will make a plan to get her and her mom out of the house and away from her dad. She asks her if she can make it one more night.

She gets a 911 text from Imogen telling her to meet at the school. Kelly comes out of her room when Tom stops her from going anywhere else. He sits at the table as it's dinner time. She needs to help her friends but he asks if he wasn't clear earlier. No one is leaving this house, as he's trying to contain the mess that she and her mother made. She can't just stay there forever. He laments that it's not forever.

The Beasley family awkwardly eats dinner together as Tom laments that Kelly and Martha never understood him. Only Karen understood her father, but Kelly and her mother never did. Kelly admits they didn't do anything wrong. He's the one who assaulted a girl and Karen's dead because of his actions. Her parents question the statement. Tom was right to think Karen would never kill herself - she was pushed for being a bully. She wonders where Karen got that from. Someone is punishing people for what they did to Angela Waters, and what she's realized is that there would be no killer if it weren't for what Tom had done. Karen would be alive if not for what he did to Angela Waters. He started this whole fucking nightmare. Martha asks if it's true, but Kelly knows that she knows it's true. He killed Karen, as sure as if he pushed her himself. Martha dabs the corner of her lip and slowly leaves the table. Tom snips that he's, of course, the villain. He hurt Angela Waters and now he's the one who killed Karen. Kelly plans to sing like a bird when she gets out of the house, because he is not above the law. She hopes, no prays, that when all of this is over, he gets what he deserves. He slowly stands and picks up his gun, running the tip along the table until it's in front of her. He tells her the gun has three bullets in it, asking if she really thinks she'll set foot outside this house again. From behind him, Martha wails out “no more”. He turns to look at her and she stabs in the stomach with a butcher knife. She pulls it back out, then thrusts it back in. She already lost one baby, he will not take another. She pulls out the knife and he slowly falls to the ground.

OS110 Kelly-Greg Still2

Kelly runs into Pinball Pizza calling out for Greg. He stands and she needs his help, right now. He agrees and runs out with her, leaving his friends and everything behind. Kelly and Greg burst into the Millwood High School gymnasium. Clanton states that Beasley will get what's coming to him. Kelly comes in and says that Tom already did. She gasps in surprise at the sight of everyone. Clanton pulls his gun and shoots Greg Mantzoukas in the shoulder. The boy collapses and Kelly drops to help him. Tabby leaps to her feet and smashes Mr. Smithee's name plaque across the back of his head. He collapses to the ground unconscious. The girls rush to their moms to free them while Kelly applies pressure to Greg's wound and screams for help. Tabby works to restrain Clanton.

After the events at the school, Clanton is taken to the hospital and arrested. Everyone gathers at the Haworthe house for Christmas. They dance, laugh, and converse, with Kelly meeting Baby Adams for the first time. Everyone sits around the fire to reveal their favorite Christmas movies ever. Marjorie wants to share something with all of them. She's going to check into rehab but just wanted to spend the holidays with Noa before going in. Noa is so proud of her mom. Elodie invites her to stay with them until her mom gets better. Tabby chimes in that she's welcome here too, as the more the merrier. Corey assures Marjorie that they'll take care of her. She is included, as she's staying in Millwood permanently. Henry whispers to Faran that it'll make it harder to sneak into her room. Corey heard that, calling him Prince Charming. Faran tells him they'll figure it out. Since everyone is making an announcement, Shirley and Elodie are going to couple's therapy next week. So, no more Red Ranch Hotel for her. Mouse chimes in that she'll never go there alone, as she has everything she needs right here. Ash asks if they can finally confirm that Mash is canon. She looks around the rumor with a huge smile before kissing him in response. Shawn and Noa kiss, followed by Kelly and Greg, Henry and Faran, and finally, Imogen rests her head on Tabby's shoulder.[10]
