Although Jenna is resentful towards Alison and her friends , she volunteers to do a speech at Alison 's memorial dedication in `` Please , Do Talk About Me When I 'm Gone '' . She shares only kind words , mentioning Alison 's visit to her in the hospital , claiming that Ali made her stronger and more in touch with her identity . Jenna also proves she can be slightly abusive and controlling , as she slaps Toby when he tells her he will `` never touch her like that again '' , and asks who he thinks he 's talking to . Jenna is known to show a much sadder and vulnerable side than she usually does when around people she does n't know . She has made a beautiful pottery piece , but is frustrated that she can not see anything , not even the shadows it produces when lit . Rivalries and friendships ( edit ) Jenna is known for her rivalries with Alison DiLaurentis , Spencer Hastings , Toby Cavanaugh , Hanna Marin , Aria Montgomery , and Emily Fields . Alison originally offered Jenna a chance to become a member of her clique , but rejected her request , leading Alison and the Liars to blind her , an event later nicknamed `` The Jenna Thing '' . Marshall had romantic feelings for her step - brother Toby Cavanaugh in which she forced herself on him . However , he did n't return those feelings which angered her . When Jenna finds out that Toby has developed romantic feelings for Emily , she reacts very spitefully . When he is arrested during the first season , Marshall discloses to him that she turned him in to the police so he 'd come home in hopes of continuing their sexual relationship . In `` Wanted : Dead or Alive '' it 's divulged that Jenna and Charlotte DiLaurentis were great friends for a long time . Apparently , Mona told Charlotte everything about the Liars shortly after being admitted to Radley Sanitarium . For Charlotte , Jenna was a `` celebrity '' because of everything she went through . Marshall knew Charlotte and Archer Dunhill were together , and helped him develop the Elliott Rollins alias and get a job as a psychiatrist . Jenna also attempted to track down the whereabouts of Charlotte 's birth mother , Mary Drake . Marshall is currently working for the newest incarnation of `` A '' , commonly known as `` A.D. '' , though she 's doing so anonymously . Relationships ( edit ) Jenna was romantically linked to Garrett Reynolds . The two began a relationship in `` For Whom The Bell Tools '' , as it 's shown when Reynolds shows up in Jenna 's room and kisses her . However , it was revealed the two were linked to the N.A.T Club , as they appeared together on the night of Alison DiLaurentis 's disappearance . Jenna later dumps Garrett when he is arrested for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis . Marshall was also romantically linked to Noel Kahn . The two were seen together on a romantic evening by Noel 's ex-girlfriend Mona Vanderwaal and Hanna Marin . They dated for a while and seem to have broken up some point later in the third season . However , they maintained a friendship since during the seventh season , both return to Rosewood in attempt to steal Charlotte 's money to pay another eye surgery for Jenna . Marshall claims to the authorities she pretended to act as Kahn 's partner because he murdered Sara Harvey and she feared to be his subsequent victim . As revealed in `` A dAngerous Game '' , Jenna and Shana seemed to be in a romantic relationship although it is somewhat ambiguous . Throughout the fourth season they are seen together , although no kissing or explicit declarations of love are shown . Shana is confirmed to have been madly in love with Jenna , and it 's made clear in the fifth season when Marshall mourns her death . Novels storylines ( edit ) Jenna was popularly connected with the fairytale princess Snow White . She had pale skin , long black hair , cherry - colored lips , and soft green eyes . She also was quite tall and had a cute figure . Alison often called her ' Snow ' but used the nickname in a mean way . Jenna was known to be very quiet and has a sweet , kind personality . Whenever she takes off her glasses , it can be seen that she has small bruises and cuts reaching from her eyes to her nose . It was said it could be from her stepbrother Toby . Jenna was often the target of Alison and her crew , with jokes about her likeness to Snow White and pranks such as giving her apples dipped in toilet water . There might have been some resentment among the group about her good looks , since Hanna mentioned she was `` pretty in an annoying way . '' One evening , Ali convinced the others to support her plan to get revenge on Jenna 's stepbrother , Toby Cavanaugh , for spying on them while they were changing . Ali snuck into the Cavanaugh 's yard , grabbed one of Toby 's fireworks , and accidentally launched it into his tree house . Alison sees Toby and Jenna together and accidentally set the firework off into the tree house , blinding Jenna and burning it down . Alison blackmails Toby into taking the blame for the incident and he is sent away . Later the girls would come to call the infamous incident `` The Jenna Thing . '' However , four years later , during a storm and power outage , Jenna reveals to Aria that she not only knew Ali set off the firework , but they planned it together as well , to get rid of Toby . Jenna tells Aria that her parents gave Toby a warning : if he kept setting off fireworks from his tree house , he 'd be sent away to boarding school . Their plan worked , but it cost Jenna her sight and she left Rosewood Day to attend a school for the blind in Philadelphia . By the time the second `` A '' wreaks significant havoc in the girls ' lives , it becomes clear to Aria that Jenna knows vital information about the culprit . Unfortunately , before Aria can ask her what she knows , Jenna is murdered by this `` A '' and found dead in a ditch in her parents ' backyard . In Wanted , it is revealed that the real Alison DiLaurentis is the new `` A '' and her murderer . Television storylines ( edit ) In October 2008 , Jenna moved to Rosewood after her mother married Toby 's father and quickly became popular at Rosewood High School . Alison invited her to join her group of friends but she declined . This led to a long - term rivalry between the two . Jenna is a very aggressive and manipulative person . She forced her step - brother , Toby , into a sexual relationship with her and threatened to accuse him of forcing himself on her . After being blinded by Alison and her friends , Jenna developed a hatred and grudge against all of them . Jenna seems to have been involved with the N.A.T. Club before Alison went missing . She was not sorry for Alison 's passing and has continued to keep the Liars on her radar to keep them from revealing her secrets . Season 1 ( edit ) The character is officially introduced in the pilot episode , being guided into Alison DiLaurentis ' funeral by her step - brother Toby Cavanaugh , much to everyone 's surprise . Marshall is led out to a car by Toby moments after the memorial service concludes . In `` The Jenna Thing '' , Marshall appears in the beginning of the episode walking into the Apple Rose Grille in a time when the Liars happened to be there . When Jenna sits down , they quietly get up and leave . Marshall later appears at the school cafeteria when Aria Montgomery invites her to sit with her friends . It 's an awkward lunch , seeing as Jenna makes the Liars nervous and insinuates that the group 's dynamic changed since Alison 's absence . Marshall discloses to them that Ali paid a visit to her while she was admitted at the hospital . Jenna affirms that everyone misunderstood Alison but she knew exactly who Ali was . The girls remain silent as a flashback ensues to the fateful events of the night they blinded her . At one point , Marshall breaks the silence by picking up Spencer 's beeping phone , when she receives a text . Spencer turns paranoid after getting a text from `` A '' with Jenna in such close proximity . No one found out about `` The Jenna Thing , '' but with Toby 's knowledge of the incident , the Liars suspected the secret was going to slip . Jenna is later seated on a bench during Spencer 's run , using a phone for the blind . Marshall orders the item to send a text , then proceeds to turn around and face where Spencer 's standing . During `` To Kill a Mocking Girl '' , Jenna is seen walking down the school 's hallway with Toby while the Liars whisper to each other . She makes a remark on their blabbing , saying `` Almost feels like Alison 's still here . '' Later when Emily Fields comes to thank Cavanaugh for helping her with Ben , Jenna is present , unbeknownst to Fields . After Em leaves , Jenna questions Toby about the reason why Emily thanked him but he assures his step - sister it is n't what she 's thinking . Throughout `` Reality Bites Me '' , Jenna is seen by Hanna Marin on her way to work at Dr Ackard 's office . Jenna enters the elevator and puts on her trademark lipstick . Marshall asks Hanna if she likes the color ( believed to be Jungle Red , Alison 's favorite ) . It is undisclosed whether Jenna knew if she was talking to Hanna . In `` There 's No Place Like Homecoming '' , Jenna and her seeing eye dog Shadow visit Emily at her house after homecoming . Emily is resting after having been hospitalized . Marshall comes under the guise of being sympathetic to Emily 's plight , even going as far as bringing her cookies . Jenna found out that Toby 's psychological profile is missing because the cops went looking for it , and knows the Liars took the file , having overheard them talking about it at Homecoming . She wants Emily to return the document , so she can protect her secret of having forced her step - brother into a sexual relationship . Emily is open to fulfilling Jenna 's request , as she feels partially responsible for Jenna 's accident , something Jenna does not fail to mention repeatedly . Fields tries to get the file back , but can not contact the Liars while her mother is around . Aria later throws the file into the river . However , it seems the file makes its way into `` A '' 's hands anyway , when a figure is seen gingerly retrieving the pages from the water . When Jenna asks for the file after Emily returns to Rosewood High , Fields vaguely tells her that it 's gone . Marshall is put off , after being placed in the position where she is forced to trust Emily . Throughout `` Please , Do Talk About Me When I 'm Gone '' , Jenna is still resentful towards Alison but volunteers to make a speech at her memorial dedication . She shares only kind words , mentioning Ali 's visit to her in the hospital , further claiming that she made her stronger and more in touch with her identity . During `` The New Normal '' , Jenna hails a cab after Toby 's house arrest bracelet is removed , so the two can share a ride . Marshall is very upset when he declines her offer and chooses to go with Spencer instead . In `` The Badass Seed '' , Jenna offers to play flute for the school play , `` The Bad Seed '' and tells Ezra Fitz that she is fascinated with the play and its theme regarding the nature of evil . Marshall is seen talking to Ian Thomas in the by a similar name , taking a `` Neuman 's '' shopping bag from him , though the contents are n't revealed . With Mr. Fitz as her guide , Jenna writes an essay to be submitted to a contest with vague references to the event that blinded her . The essay centers around a blind girl that senses more than people with an intact eye sight do and heavily implies that her blindness was n't an accident . The content leads Ezra to believe her brother is guilty , not the girls . Ezra is fascinated by the story and believes it has a chance at winning . At the end of the episode , Aria confides to Mr. Fitz about who the real perpetrators were . Jenna makes a comment in regards to Aria 's romantic relationship with Fitz , startling Montgomery , because it 's unclear how Marshall has knowledge on the couple . Throughout `` Someone to Watch Over Me '' , Jenna is seen with the owl that Hanna thought was a gift for her from Caleb . However , it 's actually a flashdrive that Jenna gave Caleb to place information on his girlfriend and later return to her . As the Liars put the pieces together , they realize that Marshall had been paying Caleb to spy on Hanna and look for a key in her house that she thought Ali had given to one of the girls . A hurt Marin slaps Jenna at the girls ' bathroom in Rosewood High for what she did and Marshall proceeds to wheep over it . During `` For Whom the Bells Toll '' , footage of Jenna forcing Toby into intercourse is uncovered . The Liars decide to approach Marshall for answers . Knowing they have the videos , Jenna reveals that Alison visited her at the hospital , but threatened Marshall to never tell anyone about her role in the prank or she 'd unveil footage of Jenna sexually abusing her step - brother . Her supposed last words to Jenna were , `` if you ever come back to Rosewood , I 'll bury you '' . The girls then realize that , when Ali told them to `` wait for it , '' she was referring to the video . Jenna dials Ian and warns him that the Liars hold possession of the video , although he assures her the situation is under control . Officer Garrett Reynolds , who had reassured Emily that he was on the Liars ' side , then shows up in Marshall 's room , and the two share a kiss , revealing they 're in a relationship . Season 2 ( edit ) In the second season , the character first appears in `` It 's Alive '' , when she and Garrett are seen spying on Jason DiLaurentis and discussing the ominous - sounding `` Jason thing . '' Later , Jenna is secretly standing nearby as Garrett preps the girls for interrogation after Spencer 's near death experience . Returning in `` My Name Is Trouble '' , Jenna takes a pottery class at Hollis College , alongside Aria . Aria pretends to be Anita , in order to seclude her identity from Marshall . It 's interesting to note that when she deduced Aria was Anita , she showcased a much vulnerable side than she usually does . Jenna has made a beautiful pottery piece , but is frustrated that she can not see anything , not even the shadows it produces when lit . Aria tries to comfort her through praising her work , but when Marshall discovers that it was Montgomery , she goes ballistic , screaming at her to get out . During `` Surface Tension '' , Aria finds Jenna 's pottery piece among Mike 's belongings . She assumes that her brother stole the item from the Cavanaugh house , but he asserts his sister that he took it from Garrett 's apartment . This causes Aria to realize that Reynolds can not be trusted . In `` Save the Date '' , the Liars witness Garrett pull up to Toby and Jenna 's house in his car . It could go either way , considering Garrett 's parents live across the street . However , Reynolds heads for Jenna 's place , and the girls follow to watch . Inside , Jenna removes her robe to reveal the black lace lingerie she was seen buying in an earlier episode . She removes her glasses , and the two start kissing passionately . Garrett and Jenna do a lot of spying together in his sports car . There , they constantly refer to `` The Jason Thing , '' an ill - defined incident that may be linked to Alison 's death . When Jason kisses Aria , Jenna expresses her fear that the two will hook up , and Jason will reveal his secret to Aria . The latest development is the possibility that Jenna will have a cornea replacement , which means that she may regain her vision at some point in the near future . Toby fills Spencer in on the details of the matter after she overhears Jenna discussing the possibility with a nurse . During `` I Must Confess '' , Jenna teases the girls after the assembly , asserting that Alison could have used the lesson on bullying . Emily shoots the same accusation back at Jenna and snidely tells her to move her walking stick . Throughout `` Over My Dead Body '' , someone shows up to the precinct , prompting Garrett to say `` you should n't be here . '' He was presumably talking to Jenna . Garrett then leads Marshall to the other side of the glass of the investigation room . He locks the door , and Jenna laments that she can not see their faces . During a conversation a conversation afterwards , it 's revealed that they wrote the note to Jason , making him suspect of murdering his own sister , and that Jason figured out that he is not the culprit . Garrett hands Jenna a note and instructs her to take it home and burn it . Marshall asks whether it 's page 5 , and Reynolds does n't contradict her assumption . Before kissing him goodbye , Jenna remarks , `` she deserved to die like that '' . In the prequel episode `` The First Secret '' Jenna is first mentioned by Toby in a conversation with Emily . While unpacking some of Marshall 's belongings from the moving truck , Cavanaugh describes her as someone who obtains whatever she wants . Later , at the costume shop , Alison spots then - new girl Jenna purchasing a Lady GaGa costume . Ali attempts to intimidate her into buying a different disguise , declaring that that she picked a similar outfit . Marshall noncommittally agrees to think about a change of heart , but turns her attention away from Alison . Before walking away , Ali offers her name , to which Jenna replies that she already knows it . They smile pleasantly , if not falsely , at each other , and Alison strolls away . At Noel 's Halloween party , Alison notices Jenna dressed as Lady GaGa after all . Noel , dressed as a gynecologist , goes right to her . When a Lady GaGa song starts playing , Ali approaches Marshall . Jenna is flanked by boys , but they all scram when Alison orders them to . Ali then offers to befriend Jenna , thereby making her popularity in Rosewood a guaranteed thing . However , Marshall turns her down and says that she likes to pick her own friends . When Jenna saunters away victoriously , Mona declares her the best Gaga , and the two introduce themselves , seemingly starting a friendship . Outside on the porch , a sulky Ali jealously calls Jenna a slut . Back at the party , Emily is seen slow - dancing with Ben on the dance floor . Jenna is seductively dancing nearby , and Emily ogles appreciatively at her curves and moves . Alison turns her eyes from one to the other , and approaches Emily , alluding to her consealed sexual orientation . During `` A Hot Piece of A '' , Marshall argues with Garrett over the phone and refuses to let him in the house . Reynolds states that it was a mistake for them to bring a third person in on their plan . Later , she leaves for her eye surgery in Boston without Garrett . Throughout `` Let the Water Hold Me Down '' , it 's revealed that Jenna went to the Kristen August Rehabilitation Center For The Blind after the `` Jenna Thing '' happened . In `` Eye of the Beholder '' , Jenna 's eye is bandaged , implying she got the surgery . During the episode , someone lures Jenna to the DiLaurentis residence and then sets it on fire , trapping Jenna inside with the intent to murder her . She is rescued by Hanna , who happened to be nearby the household . Marshall goes to the hospital and stays there under observation . This marks the first time in the series that Jenna appears to be frightened . Marshall asks to see the Liars . While they 're in her hospital room , Jenna asks if it 's true that Hanna pulled her out of the fire . When Hanna confirms this , Jenna Marshall her why she did it and seems grateful for having been rescued . Hanna does n't answer her question , but simply replies `` you 're welcome '' . Later , `` A '' is seen planting Garret 's police badge at the scene of the fire , in order to implicate him in Jenna 's attack . Since Marshall is still in the hospital when this occurred , she is officially ruled out as the one behind the `` A '' scheme . During `` If These Dolls Could Talk '' , Jenna removes the bandage from her eye and cryptically begins to cry . Later , at school , she approaches the Liars at their lunch table and apologizes for gaining a hatred towards them , saying that when Hanna 's actions made her realize that people are capable of changing . However , her apology is met with suspicion by all four girls . She shares with them the `` unfortunate results '' of her surgery . Later , Toby comes into her room questioning Marshall as to why Garrett is watching their house . She affirms not knowing the reason and asks Cavanaugh to close the curtains . Marshall pulls a slip of paper from a box on her night table , and gives it to him . Telling him that it was given to her by Garrett and was told to keep it safe . She lies , playing stupid , and claiming to not know what it is . Toby opens it , revealing it to be the missing Page 5 of Alison DiLaurentis ' autopsy report . They then head to the police station to hand it to the authorities . At the end of the episode , she is seen smacking a fly on her mirror and removes its corpse . Afterwards , Marshall turns back to her mirror with a sneaky smirk and continues to remove her makeup , revealing that she is indeed able to see . In `` UnmAsked '' , Jenna has a mysterious secret meeting with someone at a park and gives something to the individual , stating that `` they 're all going to be at the party , you know what you need to do '' . Marshall is later seen at the masquerade party spying on Aria , and engaging on a conversation with Lucas and the Black Swan . Season 3 ( edit ) At some point before or after the new `` A '' arises , Jenna begins working with them and joins the A-Team , though it is unclear to what extent . The character 's return for the third season happened in `` Blood is the New Black '' , when the Liars have reason to believe that Jenna is faking her blidness when Toby stumbles upon prescription eye drops dated after Jenna 's eye surgery . To test this theory , the Liars planted an earring in the girls ' bathroom at school and remained hidden in the stalls . Jenna is proven to be faking her blindness when she picks up and examines the earring . The girls decided to keep quiet about this newfound knowledge so that they could possibly use Jenna 's secret against her . During `` Kingdom of the Blind '' , Emily sees a flashback of Jenna driving her the night she was drugged and taken to Alison 's dug - up grave . Marshall is later seen pressuring Aria to find out how much Emily remembers from `` that night . '' The girls follow Jenna to a gun shop , in which Hanna confronts a clearly not - blind Marshall behind the wheel of her car . Jenna tells them that she 's been able to see from the first operation and kept this information a secret because `` it was the only protection '' she had . Throughout `` That Girl is Poison '' , Marshall , who has by then openly revealed she can see again , invites the Liars to attend her birthday party . This prompts Spencer to question the purpose of Jenna 's party . Marshall appears at school without her trademark shades and cane . All the students except the Liars congratulate her . She later throws a birthday party at the coffee house . In `` Crazy '' , CeCe Drake prank dials Jenna and warns her not to date Nate St. Germain ( whom she was flirting with at the time ) in an attempt to bring him closer to Emily . CeCe assures her she 'll scratch her eyes out if she spots her with him and lies about being his girlfriend . During `` What Lies Beneath '' , Jenna is seen by Nate and Emily at the Brew chatting to Noel Kahn . When Noel goes to practice , Nate approaches Marshall and divulges to her that he has a gift but never got a proper chance to hand it because she ditched him . Jenna ignores his attempts of wooing her but Nate reffuses to let her go . Once Nate chooses to leave , Jenna is seen sitting back down . In `` Single Fright Female '' , Nate discovers Marshall had been faking her blindness for a while and calls her out for acting like she ca n't see him . Later , Jenna shows up at Emily 's house a little frightened , claiming she needs to tell her something . After seeing that she has company , Jenna just warns Fields to be very careful with who she spends time with and is seen getting into a cab and potentially leaving town since the driver was placing luggage in the trunk . Throughout `` A dAngerous gAme '' , Jenna is seen at her house talking on her phone . Newspapers and mail are piled up on the front porch as if the house has been uninhabited for a while . Someone is watching her through the window and sends a text message as `` A '' with a meeting time and place . Jenna simultaneously receives a text message , gets off her phone , and looks out the window , but no one is standing there . We find out later in the episode that it was Spencer watching and taking photos of Jenna , but the text was sent to Toby . Marshall later meets with Shana in the park and they appear to be very friendly . She discloses to Shana Fring that `` they '' will all be there Friday and reminds her friend of what has to be done . Shana questions Jenna about her doctor 's appointment and Marshall implies she may be losing her sight again , with Shana assuring her that even in her darkest days , she 'll be there for her . While out for a run , Emily sees Melissa Hastings entering Marshall 's house . Inside , the two seem to be arguing with Jenna informing Melissa that `` they have the tapes '' and Melissa replying that `` those bitches will be at the lodge at 9 . '' Melissa proceeds to hand Shana a copy of the invitation . The night of the `` party '' Toby sees a girl in the woods just before he gets knocked out from behind . The woman is believed to be Jenna , though it was never confirmed . We later witness the four Liars and Mona driving back to Rosewood . They come upon Wilden 's police car that Hanna and Aria previously pushed into a lake . A video recorder suddenly plays the incident where Hanna 's mom ran over Wilden , but this time they see that afterwards , Marshall and Shana rushed over to his body and dragged him away . Season 4 ( edit ) During the fourth season 's premiere , `` ' A ' is for A-l-i-v-e '' , Mona confirms that Jenna and Shana knew each other before coming to Rosewood , and further claims Marshall feared Melissa . In a later scene , Jenna approaches Emily outside her house . Because of the way the scene is shot , we can see that Jenna is losing her sight again . We also notice Marshall has a burn on her hand , further implying she was at Thornhill the night of the fire . Jenna divulges to Emily that she and Wilden were friends and that she has a message for Toby in case anything bad happens to her . According to Marshall , everyone who met Alison the night she went missing ends up dead , meaning Wilden saw Ali , something Garrett disclosed to her . Since Toby is n't taking any of Jenna 's calls and Marshall knows Cavanaugh and Emily remain friends , she asks Emily to tell him that she never meant to hurt him . Later , at Wilden 's funeral we see that Marshall is wearing her glasses again and being escorted by Nigel Wright , indicating her vision continues to decline . In `` Face Time '' , it 's revealed that the reason Jenna , Melissa and Shana were working with Wilden and the `` A-Team '' was because he was blackmailing them to do so , under the orders of someone else ( later revealed to be Big `` A '' ) . Throughout `` Into the Deep '' , Spencer and Aria eavesdrop on a conversation Shana and Jenna are having . It 's revealed Marshall believes Alison is still alive . Later , Jenna is seen with Shana at Emily 's surprise birthday party . Spencer asks Marshall if she 's losing her sight because she is wearing her sunglasses , but Jenna replies `` I see everything I need to '' . Aria begs Marshall to tell her what she knows , but Jenna seems afraid . Later , Emily finds a body face down in the lake , revealed to be Marshall . Someone hit her on the back of the head and she fell into the lake . Jenna is unconscious , but still alive and taken to a hospital . At the hospital , Spencer asks Shana who Marshall is afraid of , and Fring replies `` Cece Drake '' . During the fourth season 's finale , `` A is for Answers '' , Alison revealed that she originally believed Jenna to be `` A '' so she visited Marshall at the hospital . Ali who at this point was trying to find out who A was threatens Jenna to not come back to town . Once she turned around to leave , she received a text from A , that read `` Bitch ca n't see you , but I do . Tonight is the night I kill you '' , which eliminated Marshall as a suspect . Season 5 ( edit ) In the series ' 100th episode `` Miss Me x 100 '' a bus rolls to a stop across the street , and when the vehicle drives away , Jenna , who has arrived back in Rosewood , comes face to face with Alison , Aria and Ezra . Later while sitting on her bedroom floor crying , Marshall hears movement around her room and calls out , `` whose there ? '' only to get no response . At Aria 's front door , Jenna demands knowing what Aria was doing in her house . Montgomery asks her if she wants to come inside for a cup of tea but all Marshall would like is an answer . Aria tells her she heard about Shana 's death and wanted to see if she was doing okay , prompting Jenna to wonder why she 'd even care . Aria reminds that Alison 's return has brought back a lot of bad memories for most senior students at Rosewood High . Marshall reminds Montgomery that she still has loyal friends , while she on the other hand , does n't have anyone left . As Jenna is turning to leave , Aria again offers her tea , informing her that while she did n't know Shana , Jenna could tell her all about Shana . Turning back around , Marshall tells Aria that having someone to chat with would help . Pulling up to a picnic ground , Sydney Driscoll and Jenna step out of Sydney 's car . Driscoll comments on the mustang parked in front of them , and Marshall reveals it used to be hers . Walking over to Mona , Sydney informs her the Liars do not want things to go back to the way they were . Jenna makes a remark on how she remembers Ali treating her friends like dolls . Mona deduces that maybe they can get rid of Alison . The three girls turn to look as a third car pulls up . During `` March of Crimes '' , Jenna comes enters the music room and is greeted by Alison . Ali makes a remark on how she was unaware that Jenna had enrolled at Rosewood High . Jenna states that she came back a few weeks ago , and that nobody seemed to notice since most students were too busy paying attention to Alison . Ali mentions that she 's sorry about Shana 's passing , and that she meant a lot to her too . Thanking her , Marshall says that she 's sorry for Alison as well and that she heard about the break in last night . When Jenna starts walking out , Alison asks her to wait before wondering how Jenna managed to turn Shana against her . Looking over her shoulder , Marshall assures Alison she brought it on herself . Walking out of a consulting room , Jenna and Sydney stop when Emily calls out Sydney . As Emily asks Driscoll what she 's doing at the Optometrists , Marshall explains that Sydney was her ride , before asking if it posed a problem . Emily wonders when Jenna and Sydney became friends , and when Marshall attempts to get Sydney to walk away with her , Spencer instructs Sydney to answer Emily 's questions . Stepping in , Jenna says that it sounded more like an accusation , and when Emily asks Driscoll why she never mentioned being friends with Jenna . This leads to a heated argument , and Marshall eventually leaves accompanied by Sydney . Later on the episode , Driscoll reveals to Emily that she met Jenna when she volunteered at a school for the visually impaired and have remained friends ever since the day Alison visited Marshall to threaten her . Driscoll returned to Rosewood per Marshall 's request , fearing that Alison would bully her once more . Throughout `` How the ' A ' Stole Christmas '' , Jenna is part of the school choir who are singing Christmas songs for the Shady Days Nursing Home , alongside Paige , Emily , Lucas and Sydney . Unbeknownst at the time , Jenna is one of Alison 's followers at the Masquerade Ice Ball . Still wearing a mask , Jenna and another one of Alison 's followers , later revealed as Driscoll , pose for a photo with Lucas , who is dressed as Santa Claus . Lucas tells the two masked beauties to come in closer , and after the photo is taken , he wishes them a Merry Christmas . After gaining Emily 's attention , Marshall and Sydney begin walking through the crowd , with Driscoll looking over her shoulder to make sure Emily would follow her trace . As Emily enters the room which has been draped off with fabric , Jenna sits on the couch , while Sydney reveals herself to Emily and explains that she led Emily to an isolated location because she did n't want Alison to witness them talking . As Driscoll walks towards Jenna , Emily tells Sydney that she really gets around , and questions if Jenna knows Sydney is with Alison now . Jenna then takes off her mask and reveals to Emily they suspect Alison of being accountable for Mona 's murder . Season 6 ( edit ) Jenna is mentioned by the girls to being Lucas Gottesman 's date to their senior prom as they see a photo of the two on their phones . In `` Game Over , Charles '' , Jenna made a brief cameo during a flashback , as the Liars were exiting the church after Wilden 's funeral and watching the woman in a black veil entering a limo . Season 7 ( edit ) During `` Hit and Run , Run , Run '' , Jenna appears at The Radley whilst the Liars are discussing the events that lead to Elliott 's death . As she bumps into the girls , they are speechless at her unexpected reemergence and she explains that her return to Rosewood is due to Toby and Yvonne 's engagement . Later , Toby arrives at the police station and crosses paths with his stepsister . He argues with Jenna about her arrival to town though she assures him that her intentions are to solely make amends . After Hanna and Mona find Hanna 's golden bracelet on Elliott 's car , they hear his burner phone ringing . When Mona answers the call , Jenna 's voice is heard from the other end answering `` Hi , Archer , can you hear me ? It 's Jenna , Jenna Marshall '' , thus revealing Elliott 's real name and that she 's somehow involved in A.D. 's game . Marshall remains around Rosewood in `` Along Comes Mary '' and befriends Sara Harvey , which troubles the Liars after Emily spots the two women amicably hanging out at the Rear Window Brew . Aria and Emily decided to investigate Archer 's apartment and discover that Jenna was on his payroll for undisclosed reasons . At the end of the episode , she and Sara are having drinks at The Radley when an unknown figure approaches the two and reveals themselves to be Noel Kahn , who proceeds to join the duo . When confronted by Emily in regards to her involvement with Archer during `` Wanted : Dead or Alive '' , Jenna admits she befriended Charlotte DiLaurentis after reading about her stay at Welby and reached out . In a flashback , Marshall is enlisted by Charlotte to track down the whereabouts of her birth mother and help Archer create an alias . Dunhill 's plan was to purposely introduce himself to Alison under the `` Elliott Rollins '' pseudonym and later take advantage of her good intentions to benefit Charlotte 's eventual release from Welby . During `` Original G'A'ngsters '' , the Liars witness Jenna mourn Sara 's death after a team of paramedics arrive at The Radley to transport her body for further examination . All of the girls suspect Marshall was involved in Harvey 's homicide and are certain that she put on an act in order to drive suspicion away from her . Later , Spencer and Hanna manage to break into Jenna 's room at The Radley with Caleb 's aid , who disguised himself as a massager in order to steal from Marshall 's bag the key that opens the mysterious box located under her bed . In it , the girls find several papers but their investigation process is interrumped by the sound of someone slowly opening the door . The person hides Mary 's old Radley Sanitarium file inside the box and is revealed to be Noel Kahn , who is seen angrily dialing Dr. Cochran ( the person who handled the birth of both Mary 's children ) . In `` The DArkest Knight '' , Mona and Caleb manage to bug Jenna 's cellphone and eavesdrop a voice message she left for Noel after he failed to return any of her calls . Afterwards , Hanna contacts Mona to help her return to Rosewood with a convincing narrative after having abducted Noel . Once Hanna successfully fabricates a story to the police on how she went to Hollybrook to track down the girl Kahn pushed down a flight of stairs at a frat party , Mona purposely bumps into Marshall at The Radley . Jenna is given an ultimatum to conspire with the Liars , after Mona implies that Marshall 's partnership with Noel would send both of them to prison . Jenna initially subdues to Mona 's coercion , seeing as her and Caleb later await for Marshall by the Radley 's bar . Nonetheless , Jenna manages to trick the duo after hiring Sydney to pose as a decoy and serve them coffee . When the Liars head to the shed Noel was secluded , the Liars panic as soon as they realize he 's missing as well as a camera Hanna used in an attempt to record a confession of him admitting he 's their tormentor . A few seconds later , the girls receive a text message ordering them to show up in 1465 , Elm Street at 10pm . Once they arrive to the location , the Liars make their way inside an abandoned school for blind students where they 're held hostage by Noel and Jenna , with the later tracking them down at gunpoint . During the cat - and - mouse chase , Emily and Hanna end up fighting Noel which causes Kahn to stumble upon an axe that decapitates him . Jenna takes aim at the Liars only to backfire , until a second gunshot is heard and it injures Spencer . As Marshall prepares to finish her off , Mary Drake suddenly emerges from behind and knocks her out . While Drake attempts to help Spencer , an unknown figure drags Jenna away from the building . At the end of the episode , the anonymous entity places her in the back of a van , while she questions them if they were responsible for the gunshot that hit Spencer . As the mysterious figure proceed to rip off an old man 's mask and toss it over to Jenna 's side , Marshall feels it up and realizes that A.D. was the one who rescued her . At the end of `` Playtime '' , Jenna is seated in A.D. 's lair , sipping tea . She thanks the unidentified individual for the drink and reminds them of their promise to update her on the `` game '' . Dressed in a nurse 's uniform , A.D. drops a binder on Marshall 's lap with pages of information written in braille . After Jenna reads a paragraph , she mutters the word `` endgame '' and grins in delight . During `` These Boots Were Made for Stalking '' , Jenna walks into the police station in order to come clean about her actions and interrupts a conversation between Spencer and detective Marco Furey . Marshall reports that she kept a low profile after the events that took place at the abandoned school for blind students to avoid being harmed by Noel . According to Jenna , Noel was accountable for Sara Harvey 's homicide and she feared to be his ensuing victim . Kahn recruited Jenna with the assertion that Charlotte left enough money in her will to afford Marshall another eye surgery . Nevertheless , Jenna suspected Noel of stealthily plotting to steal the cash all to himself since his parents had financially cut him off . In an attempt to spare her life , Marshall brought a gun to the deserted sight school as an act of self - defense and pretended to hold a grudge against the Liars . After Jenna describes her side of the story , Furey orders one of his associates to escort Marshall to a conference room so she can make an official statement . As Jenna exits the room , Spencer claims that she 's an unreliable narrator . However , Furey informs Spencer that the authorities do n't have any evidence against Marshall because the bullet that injured Spencer did n't match the gun found at the location . A few hours afterwards , Emily spots Jenna exiting the Brew accompanied by an entourage of blind individuals . Marshall pauses right by the coffee shop 's doorway and instructs her phone to send a text . A faint beeping is heard from across the café and the recipient is revealed to be Addison Derringer , a local Rosewood High student whom Emily has disciplinary issues with . She instantly suspects Addison of being in cahoots with Jenna . Later on the episode , Mona and Hanna are having a business meeting at The Radley 's bar when Jenna suddenly walks in to meet her newest associates . Marshall is wearing an exact replica of the dress Hanna designed for Katherine Daly , but in white instead of black . Mona and Hanna storm up and confront Jenna , who gleefully divulges it was a gift but refuses to acknowledge the identity of its purchaser . Hanna , alongside Caleb , decide to stalk Marshall and her group of friends to the building where Hanna 's cobbler works . The couple suspect Jenna is planning to steal the shoes that the senator 's daughter was supposed to wear to counterpart the dress . Once Marshall 's clique heads inside the building , Caleb engages in a face - off with Jenna in order to buy Hanna sufficient time to sneak into the cobbler 's office to regain her shoes . After Marshall is cornered by Caleb , she explains to him that she 's on her way to rehearse for a concert since there 's a studio on the top floor . Caleb points out that her friends did n't bring any musical instruments and as Jenna suggests him to back off , he replies with the same statement before pointing out that Marshall could n't have worn a specific dress without a helping hand . Jenna attempts to flee but Caleb takes a hold of her cane to warn Marshall that the cops were beginning to find inconsistencies in her allegations . Jenna assures Caleb they wo n't be able to prosecute her since Noel was the only person who could contradict her statement . Throughout `` Hold Your Piece '' , Aria and Emily team up to track down Sydney 's whereabouts in hopes of finding Jenna . After searching her name online , they discover that Driscoll graduated from Berkeley College , with a double major in Economics and French . Sydney currently resides in a loft at Fishtown , Philadelphia , whilst working as a bank teller at a private department that services extremely wealthy clients . The girls also learn that Sydney checked into a charity gala for the Manhattan Children 's Hospital , the same ball where Katherine made an appearance wearing Hanna 's dress . Following this enlightenment , Emily googles the event and comes across a picture of Daly posing on a red carpet whilst Driscoll sneakily uses a phone to photograph her dress . The girls deduce that Sydney 's loyalty to Marshall places her as the strongest contender serving as Spencer 's shooter . They conclude Driscoll most likely made adjustments for Marshall to be clothed in a duplicate of Hanna 's dress so Jenna could omit the truth from the authorities . Aria promptly suggests for her and Emily to head over to Sydney 's address to gather more insight into the situation . Following a quick lesson from Caleb on spying techniques , Aria instructed Emily to approach Driscoll and clone her phone . During a conversation with Sydney , Emily was told that she was trying to distance herself from Marshall but that information proved to be false . Through access to Driscoll 's phone , the girls discover that Sydney had an appointment at the Vogel Vision Institute and eavesdrop the meeting . Turns out Driscoll was paying for an operation to give Jenna her sight back and she uttered the initials `` A.D. '' as the donor for the cost . After Sydney exits the clinic , Aria and Emily aggressively confront her . Driscoll still claimed to not knowing where Marshall was , so Aria slipped a tracker in her bag to maintain her under their radar . In `` Till Death Do Us Part '' , Addison joins her friends in the hallway , when Jenna approaches them . It turns out that Marshall is the new Life Skills teacher at Rosewood High . Jenna orders Derringer and her friends to get to class , and Addison tries to make her entourage of friends laugh by waving her hand in front of Marshall 's face . Unexpectedly , Jenna catches it and frightens Derringer by stating `` I may be blind , but I can still smell a bitch from a mile away '' . A few days later , Spencer 's identical twin sister , Alex Drake , is sitting on a bench outside of Veronica 's law office . Jenna emerges from the building with Mrs. Hastings , and the two women briefly discuss a legal situation involving Addison 's behavior at school . After Veronica leaves , Marshall sniffs the air around Alex and questions her on whether she 's sporting a new perfume . Alex laughs it off , explaining that she spent the morning taking care of Spencer 's rescue horse , before heading in the opposite direction . After she walks away , Jenna pulls out her phone and calls Toby to warn him that there 's an impostor posing as his ex-girlfriend . When Spencer asks Alex about Marshall 's involvement in the `` A '' game , her sister explains that Jenna requested Noel to search for her whereabouts . Marshall was aware Charlotte had another sister and that she left Alex her possessions . Although Marshall did n't know who Alex truly was , she offered to do her bidding in exchange for one last chance to regain her eye sight . Alex paid for Jenna 's treatments , which proved unsuccessful , therefore becoming counterproductive to her agenda .

Question: what episode of pll does jenna get her sight back


Three - point field goal - wikipedia Three - point field goal Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Field goal ( American and Canadian football ) . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Sara Giauro shoots a three - point shot at the 2005 FIBA Europe Cup Women 's Finals Stephen Curry currently holds the record for most three - point field goals in an NBA regular season with 402 . A three - point field goal ( also 3 - pointer or informally , trey ) is a field goal in a basketball game made from beyond the three - point line , a designated arc surrounding the basket . A successful attempt is worth three points , in contrast to the two points awarded for field goals made within the three - point line and the one point for each made free throw . The distance from the basket to the three - point line varies by competition level : in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) the arc is 23 feet 9 inches ( 7.24 m ) from the basket ; in FIBA and the WNBA ( the latter uses FIBA 's three - point line standard ) the arc is 6.75 metres or 22 feet 1 ⁄ inches from the basket ; and in the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) the arc is 20 feet 9 inches ( 6.32 m ) from the basket . In the NBA and FIBA / WNBA , the three - point line becomes parallel to each sideline at the points where the arc is 3 feet ( 0.91 m ) from each sideline ; as a result the distance from the basket gradually decreases to a minimum of 22 feet ( 6.71 m ) . In the NCAA the arc is continuous for 180 ° around the basket . There are more variations ( see main article ) . In 3x3 , a FIBA - sanctioned variant of the half - court 3 - on - 3 game , the `` three - point '' line exists , but shots from behind the line are only worth 2 points . All other shots are worth 1 point . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Rule specifications 3 Related concepts 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) The three - point line was first tested at the collegiate level in a 1945 NCAA game between Columbia and Fordham but it was not kept as a rule . At the direction of Abe Saperstein , the American Basketball League became the first basketball league to institute the rule in 1961 . Its three - point line was a radius of 25 feet ( 7.62 m ) from the baskets , except along the sides . The Eastern Professional Basketball League followed in its 1963 -- 64 season . The three - point shot later became popularized by the American Basketball Association after its introduction in the 1967 -- 68 season . ABA commissioner George Mikan stated the three - pointer `` would give the smaller player a chance to score and open up the defense to make the game more enjoyable for the fans . '' During the 1970s , the ABA used the three - point shot , along with the slam dunk , as a marketing tool to compete with the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) . The official scorer 's report showing the first made three - point field goal in NBA history . In the 1979 -- 80 season , after having tested it in the previous pre-season , the NBA adopted the three - point line despite the view of many that it was a gimmick . Chris Ford of the Boston Celtics is widely credited with making the first three - point shot in NBA history on October 12 , 1979 . Kevin Grevey of the Washington Bullets also made one on the same day . The sport 's international governing body , FIBA , introduced the three - point line in 1984 , at a distance of 6.25 m ( 20 ft 6 in ) . The NCAA 's Southern Conference became the first collegiate conference to use the three - point rule , adopting a 22 - foot ( 6.71 m ) line for the 1980 -- 81 season . Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina University was the first to score a three - point field goal in college basketball history on November 29 , 1980 . Over the following five years , NCAA conferences differed in their use of the rule and distance required for a three - pointer . The line was as close as 17 ft 9 in ( 5.41 m ) in the Atlantic Coast Conference , and as far away as 22 feet in the Big Sky Conference . Used in conference play , it was adopted by the NCAA for the 1986 -- 87 men 's season at 19 ft 9 in ( 6.02 m ) , and was first used in the NCAA Tournament in 1987 . In the same 1986 -- 87 season , the NCAA adopted the three - pointer in women 's basketball on an experimental basis , using the same 19 ft 9 in distance , and made its use mandatory beginning in 1987 -- 88 . In 2007 , the NCAA lengthened the men 's three - point distance to 20 ft 9 in ( 6.32 m ) , with the rule coming into effect at the beginning of the 2008 -- 09 season . The NCAA women 's three - point distance was moved to match the men 's distance in 2011 -- 12 . American high schools , along with elementary and middle schools , adopted a 19 ft 9 in ( 6.02 m ) line nationally in 1987 , a year after the NCAA . The NCAA used the FIBA three - point line ( see below ) in the 2018 National Invitation Tournament . During the 1994 -- 95 , 1995 -- 96 , and 1996 -- 97 seasons , the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the distance of the line from 23 ft 9 in ( 7.24 m ) ( 22 ft ( 6.71 m ) at the corners ) to a uniform 22 ft ( 6.71 m ) around the basket . From the 1997 -- 98 season on , the NBA reverted the line to its original distance of 23 ft 9 in ( 22 ft at the corners , with a 3 inch differential ) . Ray Allen is currently the NBA all - time leader in career made three - pointers with 2,973 . In 2008 , FIBA announced that the distance would be increased by 50 cm ( 19.69 in ) to 6.75 m ( 22 ft 1 ⁄ in ) , with the change being phased in beginning in October 2010 . In December 2012 , the WNBA announced that it would be using FIBA 's distance , too , as of the 2013 season . The NBA has discussed adding a four - point line , according to president Rod Thorn . In the NBA , three - point field goals have become increasingly more frequent along the years , with effectiveness increasing slightly . The 1979 - 80 season had an average 2.2 three - point goals per game and 6.6 attempts ( 28 % effectiveness ) . The 1989 - 90 season had an average 4.8 three - point goals per game and 13.7 attempts ( 35 % effectiveness ) . The 2009 - 10 season had an average 6.4 three - point goals per game and 18.1 attempts ( 36 % effectiveness ) . The 2016 - 17 season had an average 9.7 three - point goals per game and 27.0 attempts ( 36 % effectiveness ) . Rule specifications ( edit ) A three - point line consists of an arc at a set radius measured from the point on the floor directly below the center of the basket , and two parallel lines equidistant from each sideline extending from the nearest end line to the point at which they intersect the arc . In the NBA and FIBA standard , the arc spans the width of the court until it is a specified minimum distance from each sideline . The three - point line then becomes parallel to the sidelines from those points to the baseline . The unusual formation of the three - point line at these levels allows players some space from which to attempt a three - point shot at the corners of the court ; the arc would be less than 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) from each sideline at the corners if it was a continuous arc . In the NCAA and American high school standards , the arc spans 180 ° around the basket , then becomes parallel to the sidelines from the plane of the basket center to the baseline ( 5 feet 3 inches or 1.60 metres ) . The distance of the three - point line to the center of the hoop varies by level : Arc radius Minimum distance from sidelines National Basketball Association 23 feet 9 inches ( 7.24 m ) 3 feet ( 0.91 m ) FIBA ( also used by WNBA ) 6.75 meters ( 22 ft 2 in ) 0.90 meters ( 2 ft 11 in ) National Collegiate Athletic Association 20 feet 9 inches ( 6.32 m ) 4 feet 3 inches ( 1.30 m ) American high school basketball 19 feet 9 inches ( 6.02 m ) 5 feet 3 inches ( 1.60 m ) A player 's feet must be completely behind the three - point line at the time of the shot or jump in order to make a three - point attempt ; if the player 's feet are on or in front of the line , it is a two - point attempt . A player is allowed to jump from outside the line and land inside the line to make a three - point attempt , as long as the ball is released in mid-air . An official raises his / her arm with three fingers extended to signal the shot attempt . If the attempt is successful , he / she raises his / her other arm with all fingers fully extended in manner similar to a football official signifying successful field goal to indicate the three - point goal . The official must recognize it for it to count as three points . Instant replay has sometimes been used , depending on league rules . The NBA , WNBA , FIBA and the NCAA specifically allow replay for this purpose . In NBA , FIBA , and WNBA games , video replay does not have to occur immediately following a shot ; play can continue and the officials can adjust the scoring later in the game , after reviewing the video . However , in late game situations , play may be paused pending a review . If a shooter is fouled while attempting a three - pointer and subsequently misses the shot , the shooter is awarded three free - throw attempts . If a player completes a three - pointer while being fouled , the player is awarded one free - throw for a possible 4 - point play . Conceivably , if a player completed a three - pointer while being fouled , and that foul was ruled as either a Flagrant 1 or a Flagrant 2 foul , the player would be awarded two free throws for a possible 5 - point play . Related concepts ( edit ) Major League Lacrosse features a two - point line which forms a 15 - yard ( 14 m ) arc around the front of the goal . Shots taken from behind this line count for two points , as opposed to the standard one point . In gridiron football , a standard field goal is worth three points ; various professional and semi-pro leagues have experimented with four - point field goals . NFL Europe and the Stars Football League adopted a rule similar to basketball 's three - point line in which an additional point was awarded for longer field goals ; in both leagues any field goal of 50 yards ( 46 m ) or more was worth four points . The Arena Football League awards four points for any successful drop kicked field goal ( like the three - point shot , the drop kick is more challenging than a standard place kick , as the bounce of the ball makes a kick less predictable , and arena football also uses narrower goal posts for all kicks than the outdoor game does ) . During the existence of the World Hockey Association in the 1970s , there were proposals for two - point hockey goals for shots taken beyond an established distance ( one proposal was a 44 - foot ( 13.4 m ) arc , which would have intersected the faceoff circles ) , but this proposal gained little support and faded after the WHA merged with the NHL . It was widely believed that long - distance shots in hockey had little direct relation to skill ( usually resulting more from goalies ' vision being screened or obscured ) , plus with the lower scoring intrinsic to the sport a two - point goal was seen as disruptive of the structure of the game . The Super Goal is a similar concept in Australian rules football , in which a 50 - meter ( 55 yd ) arc determines the value of a goal ; within the arc , it is the usual 6 points , but 9 points are scored for a `` super goal '' scored from outside the arc . To date the super goal is only used in pre-season games and not in the season proper . The National Professional Soccer League II , which awarded two points for all goals except those on the power play , also used a three - point line , drawn 45 feet ( 14 m ) from the goal . It has since been adopted by some other indoor soccer leagues .

Australian green tree frog - Wikipedia Australian green tree frog Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the White 's tree frog . For tree frogs that have some white color in them , see White - lipped tree frog , White - black tree frog , White - edged tree frog , and White - spotted tree frog . Australian green tree frog Conservation status Least Concern ( IUCN 3.1 ) Scientific classification Kingdom : Animalia Phylum : Chordata Class : Amphibia Order : Anura Family : Hylidae Genus : Litoria Species : L. caerulea Binomial name Litoria caerulea ( White , 1790 ) Distribution Synonyms List ( show ) Rana caerulea ( White 1790 ) Rana austrasiae ( Schneider 1799 ) Hyla cyanea ( Daudin 1803 ) Rana coerulea ( Daudin 1803 ) Hyla cyanea ( Peron 1807 ) Hyla irrorata ( De Vis 1884 ) Pelodryas caerulea The Australian green tree frog , simply green tree frog in Australia , White 's tree frog , or dumpy tree frog ( Litoria caerulea ) is a species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea , with introduced populations in the United States and New Zealand , though the latter is believed to have died out . The species belongs to the genus Litoria . It is morphologically similar to some other members of the genus , particularly the magnificent tree frog ( L. splendida ) and the white - lipped tree frog ( L. infrafrenata ) . Larger than most Australian frogs , the Australian green tree frog reaches 10 cm ( 4 in ) or more in length . Its average lifespan in captivity , about 16 years , is long compared with most frogs . Docile and well suited to living near human dwellings , Australian green tree frogs are often found on window sills or inside houses , eating insects drawn by the light . The green tree frog screams when it is in danger to scare off its foe , and squeaks when it is touched . Due to its appearance and behavioral traits , the green tree frog is a popular exotic pet throughout the world . The skin secretions of the frog have antibacterial and antiviral properties that may prove useful in pharmaceutical preparations and which have rendered it relatively immune to the population declines being experienced by many species of amphibian . It is a common species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being `` least concern '' .

Artist : S. Stone The Australian green tree frog is a member of the tree frog family Hylidae and is placed in the subfamily `` Pelodryadinae '' which is endemic to Australia and New Guinea and includes about 160 species in the genera Cyclorana , Litoria and Nyctimystes . Frogs in the genus Litoria are distinguishable from other tree frogs by the presence of horizontal irises and the lack of pigmentation on the eyelids . The common name of the species , `` White 's tree frog '' , is in honor of John White 's first description in 1790 . The green tree frog was the first Australian frog to be scientifically described ; the original specimen found its way into the collection of Sir Joseph Banks , but was destroyed when the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in London was bombed in World War II . The species was originally called the `` blue frog '' ( Rana caerulea ) despite its green color . The specimens White sent to England were damaged by the preservative and appeared blue . The color of the frog is caused by blue and green pigments covered in a yellow layer ; the preservative destroyed the yellow layer and left the frog with a blue appearance . The specific epithet , caerulea , which is Latin for blue , has remained . This frog is sometimes referred to as Pelodryas caerulea in the scientific literature . In Australia , the frog is also known more simply as the `` green tree frog '' , but that name is often given to the most common green arboreal species in a region , such as the American green tree frog ( Hyla cinerea ) . Description ( edit ) The green tree frog is a plump , rather large tree frog , and can grow up to 11.5 cm ( 4.5 in ) in length , with fully grown females being slightly larger than males . A distinctive fatty ridge is seen over the eye , and the parotoid gland is moderately large . The iris is golden and has a horizontally slit pupil , as is typical of the genus Litoria , and the tympanum ( a skin membrane similar to an eardrum ) is visible just behind the eye . The limbs are short and robust , and large adhesive discs are at the end of the digits which provide grip while climbing . The fingers are about one - third webbed , and the toes nearly three - quarters webbed . The dorsal color depends on the temperature and nature of the environment , ranging from brownish - or greyish - green to bright emerald green . The frog occasionally has small , irregularly shaped white spots on its back . Males have a greyish , wrinkled vocal sac under the throat , while the throat of females is white . The ventral surface in both sexes is creamy - white and rough in texture . This frog is similar in appearance to the magnificent tree frog ( L. splendida ) , which inhabits only north - western Australia . Older members of that species have very large parotoid glands , which cover the entire top of their heads and droop over their tympana . The parotoid gland of the green tree frog is much smaller , and it also lacks the yellow speckling on the back and the yellow markings on the hand , groin , and thigh . It can be distinguished from the white - lipped tree frog ( giant tree frog L. infrafrenata ) by the distinct white stripe that species has along the edge of the lower jaw and extending to the shoulder , which is not present in the green tree frog . Tadpole The tadpoles ' appearance changes throughout their development . When newly hatched , they are 8 mm ( 0.3 in ) long and when fully developed , 44 mm ( 1.7 in ) . They are initially mottled with brown , and increase in pigmentation ( to either green or brown ) during development . Their undersides are initially dark , but later become lighter in hue . The eggs are brown and are wrapped in a clear jelly ; they are 1.1 to 1.4 mm ( 0.043 to 0.055 in ) in diameter . The call is a low , slow brawk - brawk - brawk , repeated many times . For most of the year , the frogs call from high positions , such as trees and gutters , but during the breeding season , they descend to near the ponds and pools , where they breed . Like many frogs , green tree frogs call not only to attract a mate , but also to advertise their location outside the mating season . They are particularly vocal after rain , but the reasons for this are unclear . They emit a stress call when they are in danger , such as when being attacked by a predator or when a person steps on the log in which one is concealed . Distribution and habitat ( edit ) Specimen climbing a tree The green tree frog is native to northern and eastern regions of Australia and to the lowlands of New Guinea . Distribution is limited mostly to areas with warm , wet tropical climates . Its range spans from Irian Jaya to Port Moresby , and is most abundant on Daru Island . The IUCN suggests `` scattered locations '' in both New Guinea and Indonesia . In Australia , its range extends from the Kimberley region of Western Australia through the Northern Territory and Queensland to north and central New South Wales and the extreme northeasterly part of South Australia . Its total extent of land occupancy is around 4,078,600 square kilometres ( 1,574,800 sq mi ) . The species has been introduced to both the United States and New Zealand . In the United States , it is restricted to two regions within Florida , where it was possibly introduced through the pet trade . Only small populations have been found there , and whether they have caused any ecological damage as an invasive species is unknown . In New Zealand , a several individuals were liberated in various locations in 1897 and 1899 , and a further accidental introduction was made in the 1940s . No sightings have been reported of this species since the 1950s . Depending on their location , green tree frogs occupy various habitats , but are not usually found in tropical rainforests . They are often found in the canopy of trees near water bodies , but also occupy terrestrial habitats well away from water . They favor old stands of Eucalyptus , where the trees have hollows in which water collects . They are common along inland waterways and can survive in swamps ( among the reeds ) or in grasslands in cooler climates . Green tree frogs are little troubled by the presence of humans and often live in close association with them . They sometimes stray inside houses and are found in such places as sinks and toilets . They can also be found on outside windowsills at night , eating insects attracted to the light , and they may gather under outdoor lighting for the same reason . They sometimes occupy tanks ( cisterns ) , downpipes ( downspouts ) , and gutters , as these have high humidity and are usually cooler than the external environment . They may be drawn to the downpipes and tanks during the mating season because the fixtures amplify their calls . Green tree frogs seem to have homing abilities , being able to return to locations from which they were caught from a considerable distance after being displaced . Ecology. and behavior ( edit ) A green tree frog in a spider 's web after eating the spider Green tree frogs are very docile and unafraid of humans . They are nocturnal and come out in early evenings to call ( in spring and summer ) and hunt for food . During the day , they find cool , dark , and moist areas , such as tree holes or rock crevices , in which to sleep . They are not a rainforest species , but make use of the rain that falls almost daily and collects on leaves and in crevices , to keep themselves moist . Their skin exudes a waxy coating that helps prevent evaporation . In dry periods , they avoid desiccation by concealing themselves in a cool spot , perhaps by burrowing , and enveloping themselves in a cocoon made of shed skin and mucus . The diet of the green tree frog consists mainly of insects such as moths , cockroaches , and locusts . They also eat spiders and can include smaller frogs and even small mammals ( including bats ) among their prey . Frog teeth are not suited to cutting up prey , so the food item must be small enough to fit inside its mouth . Many frogs flick out their sticky tongues at prey and the victim sticks to the tip and is drawn back into the mouth and consumed . A green tree frog uses this technique for smaller prey ; for larger items , however , it pounces , then pushes the prey into its mouth with its hands . The frog has a few native predators , among them snakes and birds . Since the European settlement of Australia , non-native predators have been introduced , primarily dogs and cats . The species has an average life expectancy in captivity of 16 years , but some have been known to live over 20 years . Reproduction ( edit ) Breeding occurs between November and February . During the mating season , the males call from slightly elevated positions close to the still - water sources in which they choose to breed . Clumps of between 200 and 2000 eggs are laid which initially float , but sink within 24 hours . The development of the tadpoles takes about six weeks , after which they undergo metamorphosis and leave the water as juvenile frogs . As pets ( edit ) The green tree frog is one of the most popular pet frogs throughout the world . Its docile nature and long life expectancy make it an attractive choice for exotic pet owners . It is also one of the easier frogs to maintain ; its diet is broad and it has a strong resistance to disease . One problem commonly associated with keeping this species as a pet is overfeeding ; green tree frogs tend to become obese if overfed . In the wild , exertion of energy is required for a frog to capture its prey . However , in captivity , they are usually given live feed in a confined space . This lessens the activity needed for feeding , resulting in weight gain . An overweight member of the species deposits fat layers over the top of the head and body , giving it a `` dumpy '' appearance , thus the name `` dumpy tree frog '' . The rover fireflies of the genus Photinus are poisonous , and an incident has been reported in which a firefly was fed to a green tree frog , which subsequently died . Conservation ( edit ) Dark specimen in Köln Zoo Australian law gives protected status to the green tree frog -- along with all Australian fauna -- under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 . The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the green tree frog 's conservation status as being of `` least concern '' , given its broad range , its large total population , and its tolerance of a variety of habitat types . The population trend seems to be stable , and any decline in numbers is not likely to be at a fast enough rate to justify listing it in a more threatened category . In suburban areas , this frog is threatened by pollution and by predation by domestic animals . Also , some of the frogs have been found to be infected with the chytrid fungus which causes the fatal amphibian disease chytridiomycosis . The frog 's status in New Guinea is poorly studied , but in 2002 , some 75,000 individuals were exported from Indonesia as part of the pet trade , and this may impact populations in some locations . The frog is present in a number of protected areas in New Guinea , and it has been successfully bred in some Australian zoos . Overall , the main threat to this species is the potential for a widespread disease epidemic . Use in Research ( edit ) Although frogs have lungs , they absorb oxygen through their skin ; for this to occur efficiently , the skin must be moist . A disadvantage of moist skin is that pathogens such as molds and bacteria can thrive on it , increasing the chance of infection . To counteract this , frogs secrete peptides that destroy these pathogens . The secretion from the paratoid gland of the green tree frog contains 25 caerins , a group of peptides with antibacterial and antiviral properties . The caerins produced by frogs of this species from different geographical localities have subtle but reproducible differences . The secretions also contain caeruleins , which have the same physiological effects as CCK - 8 , a digestive hormone and hunger suppressant . These caeruleins now have a number of clinical applications . Several peptides from the skin secretions of the green tree frog have been found to destroy HIV without harming healthy T cells . The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis , the causal agent of chytridiomycosis , is causing declines in many species of amphibians , but the secretions produced by the green tree frog and certain other Australian species of frog ( Litoria chloris and Litoria genimaculata ) are protective against this fungus . The peptides inhibit the growth of the fungus in vitro and these frog species are believed not to be in decline . Green tree frogs are sometimes used as model animals in research . The structure of their toe pads was used to investigate the microstructure and properties of the epithelium that allows the animals to adhere to wet surfaces .
