Colvin College is still reeling from the fire that destroyed the administration building last semester, and put a student, Margot Miller, in a coma, when Professor Moynihan announces he will be offering his famous “History of Lying” seminar to a select number of students. Cat Carlson is thrilled to be accepted into the course: Moynihan is a celebrity on campus and is releasing his very own lie-detecting technology, CUFF, later in the year. But the class—“The Liars' Club”— discovers Professor Moynihan has his own agenda.
The game is afoot! Cat begins her investigtion with her best friend and podcast co-host, Allie. They look over Allie’s super-helpful, super-pink suspect board, which ranks the other Liars Club members' alibis by how suspicious they are. They realize that Naia's alibi is really weak. Not only that, but Allie points out that they don’t know why the professor is so sure the fire was arson. Steeling herself, Cat decides to confront both Naia and Professor Moynihan about their secrets.
Meet Tatiana Johnson in this exclusive Warren Academy yearbook interview.
Meet Preston. When he’s not busy leading the student body at Warren Academy as class president or debating foreign policy, he’s steering clear of the drama with his own first lady, Tatiana by his side. #Prestiana
Meet Charlie. Charlie is a self defined "lone wolf" and enjoys her alone time. She's super creative, which is why she spends her free time focused on her music. She loves expressing herself and proudly showcases her individuality through her hair styles.
Meet Tess. If any drama happens at Warren Academy, Tess is the first to cover it. She runs a popular blog that spills the tea on what's happening inside and outside of school.
Meet JR. JR knows how to have fun. Whether it's shooting hoops or throwing the best house party, he's always down for a good time. He seems to have an idea of where Emma might be...
Meet Olivia. She leads a picture perfect life and makes sure to showcase it on social media. As Tatiana's sidekick, Olivia is focused on maintaining her popularity. She's a part of the Yearbook Club staff and also the Drama Club, where she plans on landing the lead role in the upcoming play. If you're on campus at Warren Academy, you'll likely see her trying to snap that perfect selfie.
Meet Jake. He's considered the hottie at Warren Academy... and he knows it. He spends his summers surfing, skating, hanging with his friends, and avoiding drama. Drama seems to follow him though, since rumor has it he's dating two girls at the same time.
Meet Alex. He is friends with practically everybody at Warren Academy. He expresses himself best through his art, which is why this is the perfect school for him. He spends his free time painting and enjoys showcasing his work at his art shows. Now that Principal Lee has given him the green light, Alex plans to paint an epic mural for the school.
I know I'm being called "First Base Jake" or whatever and you're all wondering if it's true. I won't talk about my personal life, but I will say that it wasn't me on the roof that night.
Jake didn't ask to be called "The Player," he was just given that label. I just want to ask, why do we feel the need to put labels on everyone?
You're all wondering who posted the diary...but I know who did it. It was Emma. Think about it, the more drama she creates the more content she has for her new song. MAKES SENSE. We're onto you Emma.
I love how you all think I stole Emma's diary, but it wasn't me. Have you noticed Charlie's been getting A LOT closer to Jake? We all know she's been in love with him since forever. Hmmmm....
Alex, you had everyone fooled, MYSELF included. You go around telling everybody else to be nice to each other, to spread positivity and to tell the truth, and then you go and do THIS? Can you say hypocrite?
I'm not going to deny it. I catfished Tess with Emma... and I am really sorry. But I did NOT steal Emma's diary.
Alex is my boy, I've known him forever. He's a good guy and has had my back on more than one occasion. So he made a mistake, who hasn't? I know WAY more people at this school have done way worse. Give him a break.

I know this will sound crazy, but Principal Lee stole Emma's Diary. Think about it, she's the last person you'd think would do it. She wants more publicity for the school so she can get more donors interested. I know she plotted this whole thing. Wow... I'm onto you Principal Lee!
Come on guys... Alex definitely did NOT steal Emma's diary. Everybody knows how close they were before she left. If we're really looking to figure out who did this, you should focus on someone who had something to gain...
GUYS OMG. I caught Jake and Preston's parking lot fight on video!!! You need to watch this. What could they possibly be fighting about? Let me know your thoughts below!
There's so much going on right now, so let's just all take a collective deep breath and remind ourselves why we're at Warren Academy. As cheesy as it sounds, we're here to learn how to be model citizens and practice empathy. Instead of judging each other, which got us into this mess in the first place, why don't we try to understand each other?
I need to make something very clear. I have NEVER cheated on a test in any class at Warren Academy. I am a model student and would never tarnish my family's reputation. I just needed to set the record straight.

Remember the guy Emma cheated on me with? I know who it was. I’m not going to actually call you out here on this vlog… but you know who you are. If you’re watching, I suggest you tell your girlfriend ASAP. Or I will.
It's my birthday tomorrow!!! I'll take any excuse to let loose and forget about all this Emma drama. My parents are in Europe so you know what that means... party at my house! But, only if you were invited of course! I mean it. Security will be there.
OMG Tatiana I am SO sorry I am missing your birthday party. I promise I'll make it up to you!
I don't want to talk about what happened at my birthday party, but I feel like I have to. Yes, fine. I was almost held back. And Preston... how could you? This is all I have to say to you. And Alex, you knew about it this whole time? You both were the people I trusted the most and I can't believe you could do this to me. And, I really want to know who sent me the cake. Charlie was the only one not invited to my party so...
WOW the tea this week is too good!!! Emma let the entire school know Tatiana was failing school by sending her a cake at her invite only party. Emma... you are SO savage! So, whose secrets will be dropped next? Comment your theories below!
I'm sorry for letting you down, Tatiana. I made a mistake... I hope you can forgive me.
Tatiana... I know you won't talk to me but I want to explain myself. I didn't tell you because I felt it wasn't my place. We've been best friends since the 2nd grade and I hate that I broke your trust. I'm so sorry.

Okay, so Principal Lee did NOT steal Emma's diary. But, I'm back with another theory and I feel like I'm really on to it this time. It was OLIVIA. Might be ruining my chances at that second date...but the truth is more important...
This is getting out of hand. Whoever stole Emma's diary needs to just come forward. You need to come clean. I'm serious. This can't go on any longer.
Remember the song Emma played at the talent show Freshman year? Well apparently, Charlie was supposed to play with her but Emma decided to go solo. Ouch. Did this turn into more than just a little band feud? I don't know... I couldn't do it all over again either, Charlie...
I've given this some thought and... I'm telling Principal Lee that I stole the diary, even though everyone KNOWS I didn't do it. To the person that did do this to Emma... well, I hope you're watching.

I'm sorry I lied about what's been going on in my life. I didn't mean any disrespect or harm, especially to you Charlie. I'm ready to tell the truth about where I was and hope you all understand I've been struggling for a while.
Word's out. I'm gay. Thanks for kindly sharing that fact with the entire school, Emma. And yeah, I made copies of your diary and posted them at Homecoming. BUT, I did NOT steal your diary. The real culprit is still out there and we will find you...
I'm sure you've heard Emma's coming to Homecoming. What exactly does that mean for rest of us?! If only I could be there...This time I'll be relying on YOU for the scoop! If anything dramatic happens, send me pics plz. Bye!
Make sure to vote for Homecoming King and Queen! And do you think Emma will actually show up to Homecoming or will Principal Lee keep her out?
ya boy J.R. Jackson’s back AGAIN with another vlog. no theories rn…tryna stay on Olivia’s good side…but u already KNOW i'm bringing the moves at Homecoming and Olivia, i'm saving the best for you baby. ALSO pretty hyped for this drama that’s about to go down ????
Early Scholarship Submission Final Version.
I'm back! After marinating on all that happened last week, I realized Olivia and J.R. had NO DIRT SPILLED! So, I went sleuthing... and you WILL NOT believe what I got on them! BUT, I'm not going to just spill it. Warren Academy is having a New Student Orientation tomorrow, where I've hidden clues they'll need to solve... You might see some clues on social media too... Be on the lookout!
The livestream from Warren Academy's New Student Orientation on 11/5 with corrected audio!
Cat Carlson (played by Andrea Russett) is a promising podcast host, a true-crime fanatic, and now a leading suspect in the biggest scandal Colvin College has ever seen. In this exclusive interrogation footage, she reveals everything she knows about the fire that burned down Standish Hall.
Trip Wilson (played by Nick Fink) comes from a family tree that has been groomed to perfection. His mother happens to work side by side with the professor whose office burned down last semester. During his interrogation, Wilson discloses information about his mother's new technology and reveals his connection to Margot Miller.
Erika "Phoenix" Anders is best known at Colvin College for her dramatic antics. In her interrogation, she insists that she was not only present, but definitively in the middle of the Standish Hall fire.
Naia Santos is perhaps Colvin College's most vocal activist. Given her questionable history of exposing the administration, it's no surprise she doesn’t want to help them with an investigation...
Alvaro Villanueva (played by Gabriel Conte), Colvin’s famed gossip spouter and journalist, sits in the hot seat for a change.
The party twins Bella & Benedict Mondragon (played by Vale & Sebastian Genta) are the hottest influencers on Colvin's campus, but what drama goes down when their smartphones aren’t recording?
Dan Rolland (played by Miles McKenna) is the biggest introvert at Colvin College. In this exclusive interrogation footage, he steps away from the computer to confess what he knows about Margot Miller.
Despite her track record and impressive knowledge of social engineering, Harper Vince reveals she has little insight as to what took place the night of the fire on Colvin College.
~~~My suns, my moons, and all my stars~~~ Because of my eccentric and peculiar past, I know many of you will not believe my truth as to what I was doing the night of the fire, but here it is: Erika "Phoenix" Anders' alibi.
Hello. This is a video detailing my activities on the night of the fire at Colvin College. If you have questions about any of the specifics of my alibi, I'll do my best to clarify them in the comments section below. Thank you.

Join Alvaro Villanueva, investigative journalist and maverick, as he shares his watertight alibi and takes on the SCANDAL of the administration building fire—and don’t forget to like and subscribe to keep following the action.
Don’t worry, I’m not giving up my medium of choice for YouTubing, or whatever it’s called. You can still find my podcast, SUSPECT, in the links below! Or anywhere you get podcasts from. This is just my alibi video about what I was doing the night of the fire for “History of Lying.” Spoiler alert: it’s SUPER scandalous.

Hello partners in crime! Shout out to my sorority sisters, who promised they’d watch my alibi (I’ll be checking the number of viewers, Amanda, Phoebe.) I’m SO excited to be a part of Professor Moynihan’s class! Being suspected of arson is just a party favor. ;)
Hey folks, not sure why I'm doing this other than the fact it's an assignment...but, anyway, my alibi is pretty simple. Shouldn't surprise you, I was working out. This good enough for you, Moynihan?
My fellow activists, unite! I have been unfairly accused of setting a fire on my college campus. The powers that be try to silence our voices by vilifying us, but the truth will set us free! I know I can clear my name, and we can right this injustice. In the meantime, here's my alibi. ✊????
