Spencer’s singular focus in figuring out Ali’s apparent connection to the school contradicts Emily’s real fears about her plans for after she graduates.Īnd after a stinging attack by “A,” Aria and her brother Mike don’t see eye to eye regarding what’s best for their parents. Emily panics when her parents come under undue scrutiny due to “A’s” manipulations. Tanner, comes to town, intensifying their investigation into the Liars and their possible connection to Wilden’s death. Spencer and Toby continue their search into a painful chapter of Toby’s past and Melissa returns to Rosewood. A clue in Ali’s things leads the Liars to a creepy mask maker, who takes a shine to Emily and may have ties to another Rosewood resident. Hanna worries that her mother is keeping a dangerous secret and is determined to protect her at all costs, which leads her to an uncomfortable meeting with Detective Holbrook. DiLaurentis’ presence in Rosewood continues to unnerve all those around her, especially when she gives Hanna a family parrot, whose gift for mimicry provides startling insight into Alison’s last days. “A” makes a drastic move which leads to potentially devastating circumstances for Emily. Meanwhile, Mrs. In the premiere episode, entitled “A is for A-L-I-V-E,” the Liars are desperate to uncover what new scheme “A” has in store for them in the wake of the lodge fire, and find themselves with little choice but to turn to Mona for answers, now that she is also being targeted. One thing I know is that I don’t trust Brendan, though that could just be the Pretty Little Liars-suspicion of absolutely everyone, and he looked decidedly shifty when Emily finally set the record straight.Pretty Little Liars kicks off a fourth season on Tuesday June 11th. It’s true that Spencer can probably buy her way into an Ivy League school of her choice, but it’s also true that her stint in Radley doesn’t look great on a college application. Spencer and Emily also clash over what they’re willing to do to get into college, with Emily resenting the Hastings bank balance and Spencer judging her friend for flirting with the academic spin doctor her mother hired. What was most striking about the episode was how unwilling the girls were to help each other, and Spencer’s brush-off meant that Hannah was desperate enough to put herself in danger. I have no idea how she’s going to get out this one, unless the gun isn’t the one that killed Wilden. She’s smart enough to drive to Cicero beforehand, but Spencer’s wise words fall on blonde ears and she’s caught by the police burying evidence. Does this all but prove she killed him? I doubt it, but Hannah is stupid enough to try and bury the gun anyway. Hannah, meanwhile, quite literally finds the smoking gun to Wilden’s murder in her mother’s closet. Why is A trying to get rid of all the Liars’ family? We do have Mike back for the first time since season one, at least, and that sibling squabble he and Aria had over Ezra was hilarious. Threat delivered, Aria tries her best for the rest of the episode to convince Ella to go on the trip with her boyfriend and, by recruiting her dad, manages it.
Aria’s are pretty boring, with Ella’s decision to stay in Rosewood to take care of Mike prompting a particularly violent A attack on mommy Montgomery.
