Burns then buys egg shaped sex toys on the internet and gets their younger brother's DNA on them, then she plants them in Walker's class to make the accusations seem more real. After Jonah made the false accusations and after the sex toys she planted are found Burns gets her brother to make false accusations.
After Allen accused Walker of molesting her when she was young she tells Burns and when she is questioned by detectives Olivia Benson and Amanda Rollins she also tells them that Walker molested her and that she quit his class because of it, but before Benson is finished questioning her Rollins takes her to Cooper's room where they discover that he was coached to lie. When the detectives realize that the accusations were false, they bring Burns and Allen in with their mothers.
