The Black Widow attends Darren Wilden's funeral wearing a black dress, black shows, black gloves, and a black veil that covers her face entirely. She is later shown removing the veil, exposing a burned "Alison" Mask, and is apparently a member of The A-Team. Earlier, a mysterious person is seen fleeing The Thornhill Lodge after Spencer figures out her and Toby are not alone. It could have possibly been Black Widow since she had the burnt mask.

The Black Widow will return in as the main antagonist of season 5.
