Here's an interesting theory, how the writers trick us to believe things and jump to conclusions.

We know that Cece is a person that lies a lot. In 4x24 she claimed to know who killed Bethany and the important detail that the same person is after her friend Alison. Now to the interesting part, we know that someone hit Bethany and that Melissa ultimately buried her. So the person that killed Bethany is technically Melissa.

So the theory is that Cece saw that Melissa buried Bethany, but Cece lied about the fact that Melissa was the person who was after Alison to get a deal (it’s most likely that Cece is the one that killed Wilden). Cece knew Melissa wasn’t the person that was after Ali, but she told the lie to the police to get a deal. If she revealed that Melissa was the person that buried Bethany, it puts Melissa in a difficult position. Because Melissa is aware that she is the one that killed Bethany, but she did it to protect Spencer whom she believed was the one that hit Bethany. So Melissa could either confess to burying (killing) Bethany or rattle out that it was actually Spencer who hit Bethany and that Melissa buried Bethany to protect Spencer. Melissa has no other choice since, she is responsible for killing Bethany and Cece knows that Melissa can’t lie about burying Bethany, because Melissa has to either confess it herself or rattle out Spencer. The question is what Melissa then would have done, either way revealing that Melissa was the one that killed Bethany, would create a lot of problems. If Melissa doesn’t mention Spencer, she is probably going to prison for killing Bethany. If she mentions Spencer, Melissa is most likely going to prison either as the killer or as an accessory. We all know Spencer was on drugs so she is most likely convicted for either attempted murder or murder.

The conclusion in this mess is that Cece could have possible gotten a deal, if she had mentioned Melissa even though Cece knew Melissa wasn’t A. The important part is that Cece's lie about knowing who A was confused everyone that watched the show and that was the purpose, because we were made to believe that Cece knew who A was, when the only thing Cece knew was that Melissa buried Bethany.
