I think that they are going to do one of the two following theories:

TWIN THEORY~ The only person Jessica would protect would be someone she really cares for. It probably isn't just any regular friend of hers, it's someone dear to her. And that could be Alison's twin. They've always hinted at Alison having a twin, like the ghost girls in 3x13, for example. If they did it in the [spoiler] books, then I could see them doing it in the show. Jessica would protect her own daughter.

THE JASON THEORY~ If Jessica wasn't protecting her daughter, then maybe it was her son. The show runners said they wouldn't go through the same path as the books, so it would seemingly rule the twin theory out, but then again, the show runners tell so many lies all the time. But, if they stay true to their word (so Alison wouldn't have a twin), the only other person I could see Jessica protecting is JASON! Jason is her son, too. Maybe she didn't want him to get into more trouble. Besides, they're family, and she probably wanted to save his ass. It also would explain Jason's new secret, and why he conveniently doesn't remember what happened that night. I know that was more of a season 2 issue with Aria and him, but I feel like it needs to be further elaborated. Maybe Melissa knew about it, and that's what she told Peter in the police station. Just a theory, though.
