After a long wait, fans of the popular ABC Family show can relax because Pretty Little Liars is back tonight at 8pm EDT! Season 5 is starting this summer after a break of about 2 months, and here are some spoilers to get excited about for this upcoming episode and season.
The season 4 finale, “A is for Answers” ended with the girls on a New York City rooftop with a wounded Ezra leaving fans anxious for what was to come next. No worries on this front though, because season 5 will be picking up right where the show left off with episode one “EscApe From New York”. Showrunner Marlene King told TV Line that the new episode “feels like part of the finale”, so maybe some answers will actually be given as the season 4 finale hinted.
The Hastings family was acting extremely suspicious during the Season 4 finale, at least only slightly more than they usually are. Mr. Hastings seemed bent on protecting someone, while Melissa shared some mysterious secret with him. It’s unclear how much will be revealed, but photos from the first day on set show that the whole family is still together. At least for now. Also based on the same set photos from day one of filming, it appears Officer Holbrook will also still be in the picture. Last time Pretty Little Liars fans saw him, he had been questioning CeCe Drake and Veronica Hastings, so hopefully this cop won’t be as useless or dangerous as the past ones.
Photos from the premiere episode also tease another look at Ezra and Alison’s relationship. This means we’re most likely going to get another flashback in the episode tonight. Viewers finally got to see the pair together during the season 4 finale, but this hints that we’ll delve even further into their past. Speaking of Ezra, no worries fans, the beloved teacher/boyfriend gone sociopath is being treated in the hospital for his gunshot wound. He’s not necessarily in the clear, since he revealed his knowledge of A’s identity, and we know the hooded figure will do anything to keep their secret. However this could be an advantage for the girls and they could use Ezra as bait.
Shana, who fled town during season 4, will apparently be coming back for some reason. The Liars will find her in Ezra’s hospital room during the premiere. Fans also learned about Mona’s connection to Alison’s disappearance at the end of last season, but it can be assured that we’ll see more into Mona’s path with her ‘nemesis’. It’s very possible the evil side of Mona could rear its ugly head once more.
As usual the show will be filled with drama and thrilling excitement that will keep fans constantly guessing. Only time will tell when we actually find out who the dreaded A is, but keep on placing your guess on who, because it makes watching the show all the more fun.
