Pretty Little Liars: Season 3

In the season three premiere, a summer has passed since Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer found out about Mona (series star JANEL PARRISH) being “A” and the death of Maya (recurring guest star Bianca Lawson). With the terror seemingly over and an alleged murderer now behind bars, the town of Rosewood is slowly healing from old and new wounds. Each of the four girls spent their summer in different ways — with Aria taking a photography class, Spencer taking college courses at Hollis, Hanna taking cooking classes with her boyfriend, Caleb (series star TYLER BLACKBURN), and Emily building houses in Haiti. But what looks “normal” for each girl is not necessarily so, as all four are hardly over what happened. With post-traumatic stress, anger and the acquisition of more secrets, the four girls are anything but fine. Now back together and coming upon the second anniversary of Alison’s disappearance, the girls find themselves back on the defensive when a shocking event rocks Rosewood.

Some secrets the girls are holding onto should be shared, while others are best kept hidden — no matter what the cost. The truth can sometimes hurt and the girls must take that into account when deciding to reveal secrets. Visiting Mona is driving a wedge between Hanna and Caleb. But would it be so bad if Hanna told Caleb that her visits were because she needed to see Mona to get information about this new “A”? Aria, on the other hand, is dreading telling her mom, Ella, that her dad, Byron, is back in the dating scene and dating Meredith (recurring guest star AMANDA SCHULL – One Tree Hill, Sorority Wars, Center Stage). But wouldn’t it be better if Ella found out from Aria than hearing it someplace else? And Spencer needs to know the truth about Melissa (recurring guest star TORREY DeVITTO – The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill), even if the truth hurts. Meanwhile, Emily finds some solace after meeting Maya’s cousin, Nathan (recurring guest star STERLING SULIEMAN – The Vampire Diaries).
