In the beginning of the episode, she's avoiding Aria and the other liars because she's at a complete loss over what to do. She's trying to push them away because after what just happened to Jason (and almost Emily). She doesn't want the A Team to think she told them about Toby, especially not after that. She wanted to tell them but didn't out of fear.

After the shower scene she decides to tell them because she resolves that she will absolutely not let the girls get hurt. She's ready to get confrontational. I think she's reached a point where she'll kill someone (Toby, Mona, any of the As) if they try to harm her friends. She decides it'll be better for her to help the girls more than ever, because she can protect them if she's right beside them. I think she'd take a bullet for anyone of the liars at this point.

(The initial reason for her silence was stupid, though. She should have told them sooner, before A threatened her. It became a less selfish reason after the A Team threatened the girls, though, which became an even realer threat when Jason got hurt.)
