Pretty Little Liars season 6

An unknown blonde girl watches from the shadows as the girls attempt to escape the dollhouse. ‘A’ locks them outside and leaves them at the mercy of the elements for two nights before ending the punishment. They are hardly relieved to go back inside, but see it as the better of two poor options. ‘A’ welcomes them “home” by gassing them again. The girls wake up hours later, posed on metal tables like bodies in a morgue. They are directed to their individual rooms where ‘A’ leaves them separated and confined for three weeks. Back in Rosewood, proof of Mona’s life has allowed Alison to be released from jail. She publicly requests privacy during an emotional time. The police stay inside the DiLaurentis house in hopes that ‘A’ will show up if they believe Alison is unprotected. Unbeknownst to them, Alison’s public speech contains a covert message for 'A’ to meet her at the kissing rock. She, Caleb, Ezra, and Toby fake a call from ‘A’ to distract the police long enough for Alison to leave her house undetected. The liars are visibly shaken when they are finally released from their rooms. ‘A’ directs them to set up for Alison’s arrival. With the real Alison apparently on her way, Mona has been discarded and trapped in a hole. The girls read newspaper articles about their families, and the reminder of home inspires them to make another escape attempt. Spencer explains that each of the cryptic messages from Mona’s bedroom is an anagram for Charles DiLaurentis. She posits that they can use sentimental items from Charles’s vault to bargain for their freedom. During the nightly power lapse, the girls enter the vault and begin to light things on fire. Charles pulls an alarm, and the girls find Mona before heading for the exit. Alison wears a trackable pair of shoes so Caleb and Ezra can follow her once ‘A’ takes her to the dollhouse. Things quickly go south, and the plan proves to be too risky. They’re about to give up when Alison hears the faint sound of a fire alarm. She, Caleb, and Ezra find the entrance to the dollhouse just as the five girls emerge, relieved to be safe at last. Police discover the mysterious blonde girl who introduces herself as Sara Harvey.

After leaving the dollhouse, the liars remain haunted by memories of their captivity. Their loved ones’ questions are difficult to answer, and none of the girls seem to want to talk to each other. Aria is eager to accept a police interview. While speaking to the detective, Aria’s story changes to make Andrew look more guilty. Ezra suggests journaling as a coping mechanism, and Aria is staunchly against the idea. She wants a clean break from the dollhouse, and is willing to ignore certain realities to make that happen. When Spencer can’t find her anti-anxiety medication, Veronica admits that she didn’t have that prescription filled. Without the medication, Spencer’s memories of the dollhouse make it impossible to sleep. She steals one of Aria’s pills out of desperation. However, Veronica offers to stay up with Spencer until she falls asleep, and the stolen pill goes untaken. Emily takes one of her father’s guns to a firing range. As she shoots, she remembers using a switch board to decide which of the other girls will receive a punishment. Pam is concerned that Emily has chosen a dangerous way to express her anger. Emily admits that she is more afraid than she is angry, and that firing a gun only made her feel worse. Hanna’s bedroom reminds her too much of her room in the dollhouse. She wastes no time peeling off her wallpaper and getting rid of her furniture. Hanna’s frenetic energy concerns Caleb and Ashley, and their concern makes Hanna feel like she’s under a microscope. Caleb promises that Hanna is brave enough to get through this. Alison asks her father if there is a Charles in their family. His immediate denial is suspicious, and the empty spaces in their family’s photo album make it look like he’s hiding something. Toby’s new police partner, Lorenzo, introduces himself to Alison. She is embarrassed to think of what he’s heard about her, but Lorenzo seems willing to let Alison make a first impression on him. Emily develops a fascination with Sara Harvey. Sara’s complicated relationship with her mother leads her to run away from home, and she ends up at the Fields house. Pam agrees to let Sara stay the night. This major update re-opens the line of communication between the four liars.

The liars prepare to go back to school together. Hanna is especially motivated to return with her friends by her side, but Emily, Aria, and Spencer find last-minute reasons to avoid Rosewood High for another day. Emily feels bad leaving Sara alone and decides to stay home with her. Aria lingers at The Brew after ordering her coffee to-go, and Ezra encourages her to stick around. Spencer visits the DiLaurentis house where Alison is busy reflecting on a lifetime of poor decisions. Spencer stays to help her through her feelings of guilt. Dr. Sullivan sees Hanna alone at school and offers her a listening ear. Hanna agrees, opening up about the tension in her friendgroup post-dollhouse. Lorenzo asks Alison if she would be interested in coaching a girls’ soccer team. Alison doubts she would have the approval of any parents. Toby asks Spencer to keep Alison away from Lorenzo, but Spencer doesn’t want to interfere. Ezra calls Andrew’s doctor and requests information about him to satisfy Aria’s curiosity. The doctor won’t release anything sensitive, but they let it slip that Andrew was adopted. Spencer asks Jason if he knows of a Charles DiLaurentis. Jason says that he used to have an imaginary friend named Charlie until his father decided one day that Charlie had to go away. Hanna convinces the others to join her at Dr. Sullivan’s office. The girls are ready to spill everything until ‘A’ calls and threatens Sara’s life if the girls say a word. With Andrew in police custody, it is unclear who is behind this threat. Alison is disappointed to learn that her father lied to her. She and the girls search the DiLaurentis house for evidence of Charles, and Aria finds a photo of Jessica with two young boys. Alison and Jason present the photo to their father and demand answers from him. The liars finally discuss the dollhouse switchboard. They confirm that they were all forced to play the same “game,” and that none of them ever received the promised electric shock when their switch was flipped. Andrew is released from jail when the police can’t gather enough evidence against him. He doesn’t hold back from expressing his vitriol for the liars, leaving them feeling guilty for accusing him and afraid that the real ‘A’ is still at large.

Alison finally learns the truth from her father: Charles is the eldest DiLaurentis sibling. When Alison was a baby, Charles nearly drowned her in a bathtub. Mr. and Mrs. DiLaurentis admitted Charles to Radley and, when he was sixteen, he committed suicide. Mrs. DiLaurentis scattered Charles’s ashes without Kenneth’s participation. Alison doesn’t know whether to fear Charles or pity him. The girls sneak into a warehouse where all unclaimed Radley files are being stored. They find Charles’s patient record and note that it ends just after an increase in his medication. They also see Alison’s late Aunt Carol on the visitor log. Caleb’s overprotective behavior begins to wear on Hanna. Things come to a head when he admits to placing a tracking device on her car. She makes it clear that his actions aren’t acceptable, no matter how worried he is. Hanna asks for some space, and Caleb obliges. At Hollis College, Aria meets a fellow photographer named Clark, and the two strike up a friendship. Aria is developing some photos when she sees an ‘A’ message. It triggers a dollhouse memory in which ‘A’ cuts her hair short after she refuses to dye it pink. That night, Aria opens up to her father, finally accepting his emotional support. Spencer is haunted by a dollhouse memory in which she wakes up covered in blood, terrified that 'A' made her hurt someone. Spencer looks for Aria’s anti-anxiety medication in the trash, but doesn’t find it. She ends up getting marijuana from The Brew’s newest hire, Sabrina. Pam decides that she and Emily can’t continue to let Sara stay with them. Emily is protective of Sara, not wanting to ask her to return to an abusive household. Sara realizes that her presence isn’t welcome and moves back home on her own, assuring Emily that she will be fine. Jason tells Alison that he recently caught their mother tending to Aunt Carol’s empty house. They wonder if Charles could be living inside. Alison, Jason, Hanna, and Spencer decide to check the place out. They don’t find Charles, but there is a headstone in the yard with his name on it. The grave marker is surrounded by tree roots, indicating that it was placed a long time ago.

'A' ending: ‘A’ uses their computer to track the girls’ exact locations.

Spencer has a nightmare of a young girl dancing around a familiar, creepy room. She wonders if it could have been a vision of the dollhouse. Sabrina’s pot cookies provide temporary relief from her anxiety, but Spencer decides she can’t become reliant on drugs again. She goes to an addiction recovery meeting and runs into Dean, her former rehab coach. Lorenzo keeps Alison company while she’s stuck at home. Alison overhears a cop badmouthing her to his partner, but Kenneth accuses her of making up a story so Lorenzo could fill the position. Despite her father’s disapproval, Alison continues fostering a relationship with Lorenzo, eventually sharing a kiss with him. Emily suggests that Sara look into getting emancipated from her mother. They seek advice from Caleb, who offers Sara a job so that she can demonstrate an ability to support herself. Once Sara’s application is under review, she and Emily celebrate by getting tattoos. Mona’s time away from Rosewood hasn’t relieved her of her stress. She is afraid of Alison’s retaliation, and that she will be in legal trouble for faking her death. At The Brew, Hanna and Mona are accosted by Lesli Stone. She was caught perjuring herself at Alison’s trial and blames Mona for the trouble she’s in. Hanna is frustrated with Lesli for making Mona feel worse. Clark invites Aria with him on a photography outing. Aria is taking macabre photos of junkyard dolls when she sees a dark figure walk by. She later discovers a photo of ‘A’ among Clark’s negatives. To Aria’s surprise, ‘A’ appears to have a woman’s figure. Sara finds out that Emily and her friends are still trying to identify ‘A’, and she freaks out. Hanna and Spencer sneak into Radley to find more information on Charles. Spencer recognizes a room in the asylum’s basement as the one from her nightmare. The girls find a record of Charles’s organs being donated post mortem. On their way out, they catch Mona trying to steal Lesli’s file. The girls are shocked to learn that Lesli was a patient at Radley, and that Bethany Young was her roommate. It seems plausible that Lesli is assuming Charles’s identity and seeking revenge for Bethany’s murder. Mona tells Lesli that her secret is out, and Lesli explodes with anger.

'A' ending: ‘A’ creates a doll-sized wig with pink streaks in it, seemingly modeled after Aria’s hair.

With Mona confined to her house, the girls have to gather their own intel on Lesli Stone. Hanna steals Lesli’s keys so she and Spencer can search her car. Amid the mess, they find several pairs of fake glasses and four human-sized cages. Clark catches Aria returning his negatives, but he isn’t upset with her. Aria finds a doll at the junkyard with pink streaks in its hair and a knife through its eye. Ezra gives Aria an unsolicited letter recommending her for the photography contest. Caleb shows Sara the ropes on her first day at work. Sara asks about Alison, curious to know the person whom she was forced to imitate in the dollhouse. Hanna is fed up with Caleb’s overbearing behavior. Ashley sympathizes with Caleb and tells him that all Hanna really wants is for things to go back to normal. Caleb finds Hanna and initiates sex with her. Spencer continues to debate whether or not to speak at commencement. Dean suggests she decline the responsibility, while Sara encourages her to use the opportunity to tell her story in her own words. Ultimately, Spencer agrees to write the speech. Dean panics when Spencer misses an addiction recovery meeting. He admits to having feelings for her and decides he can’t stay invested if she doesn’t reciprocate. Nicole Gordon invites Emily and Sara on an upcoming Habitat for Humanity trip to Thailand. A car just like Lesli’s swipes Sara with its side mirror, injuring her arm and sending her into a frenzy. She firmly rejects the idea of going to Thailand with Emily. Aria, Hanna, and Spencer sneak into the science lab where Lesli works as a teacher’s assistant. Hanna sets off a metal detector, and the girls discover the microchips implanted in their necks. Hanna impulsively releases the laboratory animals from their cages. The girls are scrambling to re-contain them when Mona shows up and shares some important information: Lesli wouldn’t have any reason to mess with the liars, and the documentation of Charles’s organ donation is fake. Emily discreetly checks Sara’s neck for a microchip, and Sara surprises her with a passionate kiss. At The Brew, Aria notices a connection forming between Ezra and Nicole. Charles leaves a threatening message under Kenneth’s windshield wiper. Kenneth digs up Charles’s grave to see for himself whether anyone is buried beneath the headstone.

Lesli backs out of her agreement to meet up and answer the liars’ questions. Mona swears she doesn’t know who ‘A’ is despite being the one to pass them the torch. Sara’s old friend, Claire, comes back to Rosewood looking to reconnect. She invites Sara to stay at her house. Emily becomes jealous and protective, but Sara thinks living separately will make it easier to begin their relationship in earnest. An investment firm called The Carissimi Group awards Hanna an educational scholarship. Hanna and Spencer do some digging, and what they find leads them to believe the company is a front for an ‘A’ scheme. Aria is ready to get rid of her dolls and find a new artistic muse. Mona has been avoiding Mike since she and the liars escaped the dollhouse. Mona feels guilty for devising a plan that caused way more problems than it was worth. Mike agrees that Mona screwed up, but he still loves her. Kenneth drives himself and Alison far outside of Rosewood in fear of what Charles has planned. Back home, Jason is invited to meet Charles alone at an arcade. The girls decide to remove their microchips and prepare an ambush. Toby thinks the plan is too dangerous, so he and Lorenzo go to the arcade on a two-man mission. Toby gobbles up a bag of sweets that Sabrina gave to Spencer, unaware that they are laced with marijuana. It isn’t long before the liars become restless, abandon Toby’s plan, and head for the arcade. Alison slips her father a sleeping pill and sneaks out of their hotel. Mona gives her a ride, and Alison calls the police on the way back to Rosewood. The meeting between Jason and Charles is interrupted by Toby and Lorenzo, followed by the liars and the rest of the Rosewood P.D. Toby is too impaired to focus, and Charles gets away. Aria gets her letter of acceptance into the photography contest. Spencer tries to apologize to Toby, but he can’t hold a conversation. Emily smashes her microchip. Jason is furious with the liars for sabotaging his meeting with Charles. In their attic, Alison and Jason find a video of themselves as children celebrating Charles’s birthday at the arcade.

As a finalist in the photography contest, Aria’s work will be displayed at a gallery exhibition. Tanner offers to fill the event with undercover cops to discourage ‘A’ from interfering. Emily is thinking about asking Sara to prom, but she doesn’t know whether the event will be suitable for a first date. Aria is the only single friend in the group now, and she doesn’t know whom to take to prom. She floats the idea to Ezra before realizing how weird that would be. Hanna and Spencer go to The Carissimi Group to return Hanna’s scholarship and gather intel. They speak with a man named Rhys Matthews who looks like he could be a DiLaurentis. His answers to the girls’ questions are vague, and he won’t take back the money. Lorenzo tries to get information about Charles’s case for Alison, but his access is limited. Alison takes care of Lorenzo and his broken arm, then swipes his police badge after he falls asleep. Tanner catches Alison at the station looking mournfully at the evidence bags full of Charles’s childhood mementos. Lorenzo is angry that Alison betrayed his trust and got him in trouble at work. Ezra surprises Aria by showing up to the gallery exhibition. Nicole comes with him, but Ezra insists it’s not a date. Nicole is a fellow photographer, and Ezra is thinking about joining her Habitat team. When the gallery lights go up, it’s revealed that Aria’s photos have been replaced with pictures of the liars in the dollhouse. Ella is frustrated that the extensive police presence couldn’t prevent a catastrophe like this from happening. Feeling re-traumatized, Aria looks to Ezra for comfort. Hanna, Spencer, and Emily spot Rhys outside the gallery and follow him to an abandoned doll factory. Clark arrives shortly after and follows Rhys inside. The girls don’t know what to make of Clark’s apparent involvement.

Alison gets a text from Charles asking to see her at prom. While the other girls meet up in the barn, Alison slips away to Rosewood High. The moms open a bottle of wine in the Hastings kitchen and gossip about the countless DiLaurentis scandals. They share their suspicions that Kenneth was responsible for Jessica’s murder. Uninhibited, Veronica decides to march over and ask him directly. She and the moms find Rhys Matthews alone in the DiLaurentis house. He makes an excuse and scurries away. A mysterious noise lures the moms into the basement where an unseen villain traps them indefinitely.

A holographic projection displays a live stream of Alison talking to a hooded figure. Kenneth and Jason lie paralyzed on the floor nearby. ‘A’ turns around, and the girls are shocked to see that it’s Cece Drake. Cece confirms that she and Charles DiLaurentis are the same person. As a child, Cece lacked a necessary awareness of human mortality. Her efforts to care for baby Alison often ended in disaster, and she was committed to Radley after one too many incidents. Jessica routinely visited her daughter while Kenneth kept his distance. Cece began to present as Charlotte around her trusted friend, Bethany Young. Bethany’s kind disposition flipped when she killed Marion Cavanaugh and pointed the finger at Cece. Jessica bribed Detective Wilden to rule the death a suicide. After a symbolic funeral for “Charles,” Cece began living as Charlotte. She used her out privileges to attend college and pay unauthorized visits to her siblings. Cece developed a friendship with Alison, as well as a controversial romantic relationship with Jason. Jessica warned Cece that Kenneth believed “Charles’s” grave to be real. The night Bethany snuck out of Radley, Cece followed her to Rosewood. She mistook Alison for Bethany and hit her with a rock. Jessica buried one daughter to save the other, and Wilden accepted another bribe. Cece learned about the ‘A’ game from Mona, took the reigns, and quickly found herself obsessed. Cece treated the liars like her dolls, “taking care” of them in much the same way she did Alison when they were young. Mona realizes that she is the one who hit Bethany that fateful night. Sara reveals her allegiance to Cece, and Emily is outraged. Spencer and Mona identify Radley as the source of the live stream. The girls race to the asylum where Spencer diffuses a bomb Cece had planted. Cece goes to the roof of the building and debates jumping off the edge before opting to surrender instead. Once the dust has settled, the girls see each other off to college and go their separate ways. A flash forward shows Alison writing on a chalkboard at Rosewood High. The liars storm into the classroom and warn Alison that someone is coming after her.

Caleb is staying in the Hastings’ barn while he’s in town. Ashley has remodeled Radley Sanitarium into a hotel. Emily avoids talking about her life, having struggled to regain her footing after her father passed away. She covertly takes unspecified medications. Alison teaches English at Rosewood High. She and Dr. Rollins have been supporting Charlotte’s treatment and rehabilitation. The girls meet with Alison and listen to her pleas. She insists that Charlotte is no longer a threat, and asks for their statements at the hearing to reflect that. The girls push back, but Alison’s disappointment is far more persuasive than her threats ever were. One by one, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily tell the judge that they are no longer afraid of Charlotte. Aria has prepared a similar statement, but abandons it to express her true feelings: she opposes Charlotte’s release. The final statement is made by Mona, who speaks about her empathy for Charlotte’s situation. The judge makes her decision, and Charlotte goes home with Alison. The liars meet up at The Radley for drinks. They congratulate Aria for her integrity, and the rest of the night is spent enjoying each other’s company. The next morning, Charlotte is found dead in the grass beneath the open window of the church bell tower. Alison is devastated and looks to Emily for comfort. Sara Harvey shows up to the funeral in a black veil and gloves. The liars discuss their culpability in something bad that happened to her. After the service, Lorenzo strongly advises the liars to stay in town for the investigation into Charlotte’s murder.

The Liars begin to suspect one another about Charlotte's murder. Aria returns to Boston sooner than advised, raising Alison's suspicions. Hanna confronts Aria, knowing she had left the hotel with Ezra during the time of Charlotte's death. Aria explains that she was unable to sleep and went to speak with Ezra; together, they saw Charlotte enter the church shortly before her death. To protect Aria, Hanna deletes Radley's security footage showing Aria and Ezra leaving and later returning around the time of the murder. Spencer realizes that Charlotte was killed in an exact manner resembling a murder described in one of her college essays. Emily continues to lie about her life in California while coping with her father's death, while Alison grows increasingly wary of the Liars.

‘A’ makes Election Day the hard deadline for the liars to give them Charlotte’s killer.

They plan to write the book as a dialogue between two characters loosely based on Ezra and Nicole. Aria matches an eyewitness description of the person who called Charlotte the night of her murder. She attends a police lineup and does some sleuthing while she’s at the station. Aria discovers that the eyewitness is Sara, and that her statement specifically mentions a keychain with pink dice.

Election Day is coming up fast, and the liars still have no one they can confidently accuse of murder. Mona is their top suspect now that she’s admitted to calling Charlotte from The Two Crows and asking to meet with her. Still, it’s far from damning, and Mona says Charlotte never showed up that night. Hanna feels caught between her future in New York and the familiarity of Rosewood. Lucas plans to purchase and flip a defunct factory, and he offers to let Hanna use the building to start her own fashion business. Ezra is unsatisfied with the scene in his and Aria’s book where the leads bid each other a romantic goodbye.

She removes Liam from the project to ensure Aria stays properly focused. Spencer and Emily follow Sara’s driver around and monitor his shady behavior.

Alison’s mother visits her in a dream and promises that Elliott will take care of her from now on. Alison wakes with a new sense of hope for the future. Among the many flowers from Elliott in Alison’s hospital room, Hanna finds a card from ‘A’. The message inside confirms ‘A’s intention to take out the five girls one by one. Hanna asks Caleb to help her “confess” to Charlotte’s murder and lure ‘A’ into a trap. The rest of the liars voice their concerns, but Hanna is committed to the plan whether they get on board or not.

'A' ending: ‘A’ is watching Veronica’s campaign ad when they receive Hanna’s confession.

Caleb is careful to think of everything that could possibly go wrong while setting the trap for ‘A’. He builds an electric fence and installs motion-sensing cameras around The Lost Woods Resort. As they write, Ezra comes to terms with the loss of Nicole, and Aria draws upon the feelings she once had for Ezra. Jillian responds to their first draft with a level of excitement Aria has never seen from her boss. Aria and Ezra celebrate with a spontaneous lovemaking session. Sara’s new hotel room is directly above the forgotten section of Radley’s basement. Toby volunteers to help Spencer investigate, much to the frustration of Yvonne. The pair discovers a secret room in the old sanitarium, as well as the Radley patient file for Charlotte’s biological mother, Mary Drake. Alison begins to see haunting visions of her mother and Detective Wilden. Emily reassures her that the hallucinations are a side effect of her medication, but Alison continues to lose her grip on reality. She voluntarily commits herself to the same psychiatric hospital that facilitated Charlotte’s treatment. It is later revealed to the viewer that Mary Drake and Elliott Rollins were posing as Jessica and Wilden. Elliott is after the Carissimi Group funds, while Mary is acting out of resentment for Jessica. Veronica’s team celebrates her campaign and makes last-minute calls to voters. To Spencer’s surprise, Mona shows up to offer her support. The poll results are announced, and Veronica is elected one of Pennsylvania’s state senators. Spending time with Caleb reopens Hanna’s emotional wounds. The night their relationship ended, Hanna bailed on plans with Caleb in favor of a work event. She changed her mind, but Caleb was already gone by the time Hanna made it back to their apartment. Hanna confesses that she still loves Caleb, and the two kiss. Hanna sends ‘A’ her location from inside a boarded up motel room. A dark figure runs through the area and triggers the cameras, but they avoid electrocution. Meanwhile, Hanna has disappeared through a trap door that was hidden underneath the bed. The security footage displays the face of Mary Drake, although the group recognizes her as Jessica DiLaurentis. A mass text taking credit for Hanna’s abduction is signed, “A.D.”
