What happens in A Killer Among Friends from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Jenny Monroe, Tiffani Thiessen, is a beautiful and popular teenager, and her world revolves around school, friends, and the warmth of her loving mother. Her close bond with her childhood best friend, Ellen Holloway Margaret Welsh, mirrors Jenny’s easy charm, but that bond starts to fray as Ellen’s insecurities grow and she becomes increasingly jealous of Jenny’s beauty, the attention she receives from guys, and the way Jenny’s relationship with her mother Jean Patty Duke seems to shine a little brighter than Ellen’s own life. The tension rises when Ellen manipulates events, pressuring Jenny into shoplifting and later accusing her of sleeping with Ellen’s boyfriend, a charge that further hardens the line between friendship and suspicion.
