TOBY CAVANAUGH

Toby Cavanaugh (Keegan Allen) is Jenna's stepbrother. Ali had planned getting rid of Toby with a stink bomb to the garage, but he and Jenna were having sexual relations at the time, so it ended up blinding Jenna; he knows the girls were behind it, but took the blame when Ali threatened to reveal that he was having sexual relations with Jenna. He is interested in Emily and attempts to get closer to her, saving her from near rape by her boyfriend Ben. At homecoming, Emily gets a text from her friends saying Toby was Ali's murderer. She runs away, injuring herself and Toby. Toby drives her to the hospital, leaving immediately afterwards. The police find his wrecked motorcycle. In "Keep Your Friends Close", Toby is wrongly charged with Alison's murder and taken into custody. Soon after, the town's district attorney is forced to drop the charges because of tainted evidence. Emily and Toby's friendship cools after Toby realizes that they won't be romantically involved (because of Emily's interest in Maya), and because he believes she is responsible for informing the police to his whereabouts. During the end of season one, Toby becomes closer with Spencer. The two bond over accusations in Alison's murder against both of them. They become romantically involved towards the end of season one and into season two, but they're forbidden to see each other. Spencer goes against her parents demands and continues seeing Toby. In "My Name Is Trouble", Spencer buys Toby the truck he was saving up for so he can quit his job with Jason DiLaurentis and get away from his parents. This results in the two of them kissing and pledging their love each other for the first time. Toby is later seen helping out at the fashion show therefore it can be said that he is starting to lead a normal life again. In the episode "Surface Tension", Toby finds Spencer's old hockey stick, which she had lent to Alison prior to her murder. Mr. Hastings acts suspicious upon the finding of the stick, and accuses Spencer of planting evidence to bring attention to herself. Toby has no idea that Melissa' ex-fiancée Wren has admitted that he came back to Rosewood to be with Spencer.
