Pretty Little Liars

As the sixth season begins moments after the season five finale, Aria, Emily, Hanna, Spencer and Mona are trapped outside the “dollhouse” where their masked tormentor, Charles, has been keeping them — with nowhere to run. Angered by their attempted escape, Charles’ games take a more demented, darker turn. As the girls struggle to survive, Ezra (series star IAN HARDING), Caleb (series star TYLER BLACKBURN) and Toby (recurring guest star KEEGAN ALLEN) continue the fight to find the girls with or without the help of the Rosewood Police Department.

The girls may have gotten out of the Dollhouse, but what happened to them during their time of captivity has lasting effects. With worried loved ones watching over them, the PLLs are home and trying to heal — without much success. Even with suspected tormentor Andrew (recurring guest star BRANDON W. JONES) in custody, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer fear they are far from safe. Meanwhile, Alison must deal with her past indiscretions and her notoriety around Rosewood.

The girls’ lives have been turned upside down by their captivity and each one of them is looking for answers to make sense of their ordeal. Aria focuses on Andrew (recurring guest star BRANDON W. JONES) by trying to figure out who this boy really is, while Emily tries to connect with a new friend. In true Spencer fashion, she is on a mission to get answers about Charles from Ali and Jason (recurring guest star DREW VAN ACKER). Hanna wants to bring the four friends back together so they can move past what happened in the Dollhouse. Meanwhile, Alison is no longer the queen bee/mean girl she once was — but who is she now? A new friend tries to help her find the courage to start fresh and find the “new” Alison.

After lying to Alison and Jason (recurring guest star DREW VAN ACKER) about Charles, Kenneth DiLaurentis (recurring guest star JIM ABELE) comes clean about the family’s connection to the young boy. While he won’t give much detail about Charles’ past, he says enough to give the girls a clue of where to look for the missing pieces: Radley Sanitarium. With Radley now closed and its files shipped off to be shredded, the girls must act fast before all traces of Charles’ past disappear. Meanwhile, Caleb’s protective nature starts to pinch Hanna, and Spencer seeks a remedy for her sleeping issues.

Mona returns to Rosewood in a very fragile state as she must answer to the police for faking her death. Matters only get worse when she is confronted about Lesli’s (recurring guest star ELIZABETH McLAUGHLIN – The Clique) inadvertent involvement in Mona’s plot. Hanna is determined to help Mona out, not only to reassure her she is safe from Alison but also to try and repair Mona’s friendship with Lesli. Emily tries to help Sara (recurring guest star DRE DAVIS) with her troubled home life by encouraging her to explore the possibility of emancipation. Spencer, on the other hand, finds help from someone from her past. Meanwhile, Alison grows closer to Lorenzo (recurring guest star TRAVIS WINFREY) as she looks for support outside of her family.

With all signs pointing to Lesli (recurring guest star ELIZABETH McLAUGHLIN) as the tormentor in the hoodie, the PLLs are on a mission to get concrete proof before bringing their findings to the police. But as the girls ramp up their investigation, threats from “A” escalate. Meanwhile, a friend of Emily’s makes her a surprising offer, and Spencer is pressured by her family to make an important decision.

There are mixed emotions in the DiLaurentis household when Charles declares he is coming home for his birthday. Mr. DiLaurentis (recurring guest star JIM ABELE) wants to quickly get out of town to hide Ali and Jason (recurring guest star DREW VAN ACKER) from their brother, while Jason sees this as an opportunity to finally validate all of the early childhood memories he has of “Charlie.” The PLLs are just as torn, with Spencer and Hanna thinking this is the best chance they have to capture Charles, while Emily and Aria want to stay as far from him as possible. Will Jason be reunited with his brother, or is this just another trap from “A”? Meanwhile, Mona is shutting out Mike (recurring guest star CODY ALLEN CHRISTIAN) and Hanna gets an unwelcomed surprise.

After their latest run-in with Charles, tensions are at an all-time high with the PLLs and the town of Rosewood. Aria’s big moment of seeing her work displayed in an art gallery is in jeopardy as Ella (recurring guest star HOLLY MARIE COMBS) is determined to keep her safe at home. Hanna is still uncomfortable with the unexpected scholarship money and is determined to give it back, even if that means ruining her chances at going to her school of choice. To top it all off, due to security issues, Rosewood High is considering not letting the PLLs attend prom — the one normal high school rite of passage the girls are looking forward to. Meanwhile, the more Alison learns about her brother, the harder she finds it to connect a deranged murderer to the young blonde-haired boy she sees in the photos and in her memories.

It is prom time at Rosewood High — except for Alison, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer, who have been banned due to “security” concerns. As the girls take this as the final humiliating blow to their high school careers, the girls’ mothers try to make the best of a bad situation by offering a prom at home in Spencer’s barn. At first reluctant, the PLLs agree and try to make the best out of a bad situation. But Charles — who has never been one to miss a formal — has other plans in store to make this a night the girls will never forget. Meanwhile, Veronica (recurring guest star LESLEY FERA), Pam (recurring guest star NIA PEEPLES), Ella (recurring guest star HOLLY MARIE COMBS) and Ashley use prom night to touch base on everything that has happened to their daughters.

Who killed Toby’s mother? Who hit Alison in the head with the rock the night she went missing? Who is Red Coat? Who killed Bethany? Who is the Black Widow? Why has "A" been targeting the PLLs all this time? After years of torture and endless questions, Alison, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer finally come face to face with their tormentor and learn the story of how and why Charles became "A."

In advance of Pretty Little Liars’ winter premiere, the cast and crew sit down to discuss the highly anticipated series time jump in this one-hour, behind-the-scenes special. To give viewers a taste of what’s to come, the special episode will reveal what the Liars have been up to inside and outside of Rosewood over the past five years. In addition to featuring conversations surrounding new careers and love interests, the episode will feature interviews with the team behind the Liars’ new looks and their style evolution. Fans will also be offered a glimpse at brand-new PLL sets and two new scenes that won’t be seen anywhere else. Plus, the moms on the show speculate about what happened to their characters after getting locked in the basement.

After years of being tormented and numerous shocking revelations, the Liars finally uncovered the true identity of “A.” It’s now five years later, and that means a new look, new secrets … and new lies. The girls are not the same people they were when they left Rosewood. They’ve pursued their own paths and adjusted to a life without “A,” so how will they cope when something happens in Rosewood that forces them to go back to where it all started? Torn between their old habits and their new lives, the Liars must stay in town and join forces, as relationships are once again put to the test and new secrets are revealed.

Questions about the new mystery surface as the girls are forced to stay in Rosewood. A restless Aria starts to look suspicious as she heads back to Boston a little too quickly. But could Aria really be the one behind this? As Spencer, Emily and Hanna find themselves back in familiar territory, they aren’t happy to be going about solving this puzzle “the old way.” Meanwhile, Emily continues to lie about her life in California and Alison keeps a close eye on her friends.

Panic sets in for the Liars as the investigation turns to Radley. Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer find themselves back in familiar territory with the Rosewood Police Department knocking at their doors looking for answers, and their actions now affecting the loved ones around them. With her mother’s job on the line, Hanna tries to come up with an alibi that could save all four of them with the help of her old high school friend, Lucas (recurring guest star BRENDAN ROBINSON). Meanwhile, Emily comes clean about the last five years, and Aria goes the extra mile to keep Ezra’s second book in play with her boss.

With the Rosewood Police Department breathing down Hanna’s neck about the Radley security footage, she opts to confess the truth to those closest to her in hopes they can help. Aria continues to search for answers, with help from Emily, on whether Ezra is as guilty as he seems. Spencer works together with Caleb to track down the new threat. Meanwhile, there is awkwardness all around when new love interests emerge and old ones resurface.

Convinced that Sara Harvey (recurring guest star DRE DAVIS) is behind the new threats, the Liars work together to find evidence of Sara’s involvement before they go to the cops. Caleb puts together a plan with Hanna to fight back against the new stalker by using the security footage tapes. Meanwhile, Aria gets unexpected news from her family, and Ali comforts Emily in her time of need.

While new discoveries are made in the investigation of Charlotte’s murder, the truth begins to emerge about the Liars’ personal lives. Spencer is concerned to learn her mother (recurring guest star LESLEY FERA) is keeping a secret of her own. Aria confesses to Liam (recurring guest star ROBERTO AGUIRE) how deeply she’s involved with Ezra’s book. Ali admits that she and Elliott (recurring guest star HUW COLLINS) are more than just friends. Mona reveals where her true allegiances lie, and Caleb, Spencer and Hanna deal with the complications of new relationships. Meanwhile, Emily and Hanna each receive shocking threats that elevate the seriousness of the situation.

As romantic relationships move forward, the Liars investigate a new suspect in the murder case. With Ezra back in Rosewood, Aria must tell him the truth about her involvement with his book. Spencer and Caleb deal with a media leak that affects the campaign. Hanna takes a look at her life after an incident at work. Emily gets harassed by the stalker while she continues the search for Sara. Meanwhile, wedding bells are ringing as two lovers finally tie the knot with the help of a special officiant.

After the stalker nearly killed Emily, the Liars begin to take the threats more seriously and attempt to keep their mouths shut to prevent any further harm. Caleb must deal with the collateral damage of taking the blame for the leak about Yvonne (recurring guest star KARA ROYSTER); Spencer tries to comfort him and get him to tell the truth. Emily goes on a mission to track down the person who came after her. Aria and Ezra move forward with the novel. Meanwhile, Hanna avoids dealing with her personal life.

After Alison is confronted with a sudden, mysterious jeopardy, the Liars — infuriated by the continual harassment — decide to take things into their own hands for a counterattack. Hanna and Caleb work together to develop a plan to come face to face with the tormentor. Emily and Spencer team up to investigate if Mona had any involvement with the murder. Aria and Ezra continue to work on the book, though it might be more difficult than anticipated. Meanwhile, Ali encounters an unexpected visitor.

With the stalker threatening to kill all of them if they don’t divulge Charlotte’s killer by the election, the Liars and company — at wit’s end — must boldly fight back. As Spencer and Toby (recurring guest star KEEGAN ALLEN) work together to catch Sara Harvey, Yvonne (recurring guest star KARA ROYSTER) wonders where Toby’s true affections lie. Ezra finishes the last chapter of his book, finally ready to say goodbye to Nicole; Aria comforts him during this emotional time and old feelings bubble to the surface. While Caleb works intently on his plan to protect Hanna, they reflect on what could have been. Meanwhile, Alison experiences strange visions from the dead and starts to question her sanity. Emily keeps tabs on Alison to make sure she’s okay.
