It is eventually revealed that Eleanor is actually 'Nora', an old friend of Drea's from summer camp, and it was Drea herself who spread the rumour but – being self-obsessed and wrapped up in her own problems – failed to remember her actions, even when she was reminded of them by Andrea.

Andrea was 'Nora' all along 

As such, Andrea has been playing the long game, with her ultimate aim to destroy Drea's life once and for all – and tells her to ruin all of her friends' lives or Andrea will frame her mother for drug possession.

Despite Eleanor's determination to ruin Drea's life, the pair eventually reconcile while at the Admissions Party after Drea apologises for her past actions – and realising that they are both happier in each other's company – but their former plotting is discovered by Drea's ex-boyfriend Max, who confirms that he was in fact a psychopath.
