Tonight's episode saw Amy accidently let her big secret slip to friends Summer Spellman and Asha Alahan.

She said: "I was going to tell you, I was but I know how people feel about him."

Summer said: "Yeah including you, I thought."

Amy replied: "That was before. He's changed."

Summer reminded her that Jacob almost got Simon killed and Amy said: "Do you seriously think I'd be with him if he was still that person?"

Her friends remained unconvinced as Asha said: "Your parents are not going to be happy about this."

Amy promised to tell her parents, just not yet.
