if she did it but then believes her. Once Carly, Jason, Joss, Kristina find out--they are not so trusting. Rightfully so! She did tell Nikolas about her feelings, so her actions are nonsensical here.
Ava falsely accused would have been a better story. Or EVERYONE believes it and Ava decides to clear her name or maybe Trina enlists Joss (both need a story away from guys) and they investigate and someone get clues that lead to Valentin and he has no choice but to put a hit on Trina and Joss.
At this point, I wish she had been in on it with Valentin because this is beneath her.
I'm telling ya'll. If they did an internship for fans. I'd nail it and get hired as co-writer 😎😁 I have all kinds of ideas. And I promise you I would bring back Friday cliffhangers!
