Lost and Found

Ava arrived at her fashion show and was instructed by her English TA, Alison DiLaurentis, to ask Zach for help with anything she needed. She attempted to utilize him, however, he coldly told her that the other designers arrived on time so they were his priority. His hostile attitude confused both Alison and Ava.

Later, she questioned him about her props to which he brushed her off and told her that he'll get to it. When he announced that her flowers arrived she panicked as they were the wrong flowers, and the flowers were the inspiration for her designs. He brushed her off again and told her that she would have to make do with the flowers she had. He abruptly told her that if she had arrived earlier he would have been able to help her.

After the show, Ava confronted him about his attitude toward her. Zach stated that his name is Zach Fordson, which she didn't initially recognize. He iterates that she might have seen it on several court documents. He explained that his father, Kevin Fordson, had invested his life savings in Michael Jalali's business. When Michael fled the country, all of his family's money was lost - including Zach's college fund. Because of this, Zach had to work multiple jobs to afford his tuition at BHU.
