Pretty Little Liars is really ending.
We have just 10 episodes left after the current run, so we'll need to savor it while it lasts.
Considering the amount of questions thrown our way over the past 7 seasons, we best be treated to many answered in the days ahead.
Specifically, to these questions...
1. Why Is Jenna Still Going After the Liars? The liars apparently blinded her, but her sight returned for a while. She's been going after the liars for like 12 years. Why has she not done something big sooner? 2. What Was Andrew Really Up To? Andrew Campbell flew relatively under the radar until he started getting close to Aria and acting super sketchy. We never got confirmation of his true intentions, but it's time for us to find out. 3. What Really Happened To Mrs. D? The matriarch of the Dilaurentis family was killed a few seasons back, but we never found out who done the deed.

This week on "Pretty Little Liars," everyone's favorite teen sleuths were determined to find out whether Aria Montgomery's ex-boyfriend, Andrew Campbell, is also Charles Dilaurentis. If it sounds confusing, don't stress: it is. Everything's basically a huge mess in Rosewood, and we can trust no one -- especially Mr. Fitz, a man who, lest you forget, stalked Aria and her friends via camera to "research" his "book" a few years back. Nope, we will never let that go.
Charles Dilaurentis' Identity Is Revealed, Things Get Weird
Speaking of stalkers, Ezra is super worried about Aria post-kidnapping, so he decides to help a home girl out and encourages her to ditch school so she can research Andrew (you'd think as a former teacher he'd care more about her grades, but whatever). Thanks to Ezra's #StalkerSkills, he easily finds out that Andrew was adopted -- which mean he could be a Dilaurentis in disguise!

Pretty Little Liars' season 5 finale went a long way to fixing what's been wrong with the show of late, and in a really exciting way...
This review contains spoilers.
5.25 Welcome To The Dollhouse
It was a gradual process, turning away from Pretty Little Liars. It wasn’t with one episode or one storyline (though the Ezra-is-a debacle almost qualified) that forced me to take a step back from the mystery, the characters and the series in general, but rather a frustration with how convoluted it had become – hard to theorise about and near-impossible to come up with any sort of coherent answer.
Maybe it’s my own residual Ptsd from Lost, or maybe it was an actual problem the show had to solve. Either way, this episode went a long way to fixing what I perceived to have broken about the show, and it did so in the most exciting,...

Who is Charles?
That's the question Pretty Little Liars fans face after Tuesday night's (literally!) electrifying spring finale.
Though we never saw his face, we know he's "A." According to the anagram from a few episodes ago, his last name is Dilaurentis. And based on the old film footage showing Mrs. D (Andrea Parker) playing with two little blond boys, we're pretty confident this is author Sara Shepard's twin twist come to life. But it's not Alison (Sasha Pieterse) who has the secret, evil doppelgänger – it's her brother, Jason (Drew Van Acker).

The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived: A's identity was (kind of) revealed on the season finale of "Pretty Little Liars," and everyone's minds and Twitter feeds are officially blown. The entire season has been leading up to this big moment, and we have to say -- it didn't disappoint. Ready to find out the identity of Rosewood's resident criminal mastermind? Check out our recap, and as always, don't try this at home. (Note: "this" = stalking people via text in small-town Pennsylvania).
Mona Is Back.... And She Has A New Look
Everyone panic: the liars are being hauled off to jail for allegedly killing Mona Vanderwaal! But if you thought A was going to let these ladies sit cozy in a cell, think again. Instead, A commandeers their prison transport truck, roofies the driver, and kidnaps the liars. Sigh, kids these days.
Wondering what A has planned for the liars?...

There are only two episodes left before A's identity is finally revealed on "Pretty Little Liars," and the internet is breaking. Mostly due to the fact that Aria Montgomery's no longer dating her former stalker (judging you forever, Ezra Fitz), but also because Hanna Marin is currently trapped in a jail cell. This week, the liars join forces to spring Hanna from the slammer, and they come across a few new clues along the way....
(Note the use of mysterious ellipses for extra dramatic effect...)
Alison Goes To Trial, Hanna Pretends She Knows How To Fold Laundry
Alison's trial is upon us, and the prosecution has a theory: Alison lied about being kidnapped and then killed Mona Vanderwaal to keep her secret hush-hush. Uhm, last time we checked only the liars knew the truth about Ali's kidnapping, which means there's an informant among us. Trust no one.
Anyway, now that...

There are only a few weeks left until "Pretty Little Liars" finally reveals who A is! You know, for the millionth time. But now that Alison Dilaurentis has been cleared in the A-game, the list of suspects is growing at an exponential rate. At this point, anyone could be the "Pll" puppet master, but one thing's for sure: tensions are rising in Rosewood. And we're not just talking about the sexual tension between Spencer Hastings and literally every man on this show who isn't Toby Cavanaugh. Sigh, their vague breakup is still so raw. *crying*
The Liars Join Team Ali, Aria Looks Out For Mike
Last week the little liars learned that Alison definitely didn't kill Mona Vanderwaal because whoops, she faked her own death only to be murdered. Hate it when that happens. Obviously, this whole situation is super awkward for the liars, and their new mission is to get Ali out of jail.

There was plenty of blood, sweat and tears on Pretty Little Liars this week as Rosewood's leading ladies tailed their No. 1 "A" suspect and faced big decisions about college and boys. (You know, the type of things high schoolers who aren't being viciously blackmailed and physically assaulted 24/7 deal with.)
But that doesn't mean the show's central mystery fell by the wayside. The girls got leads on the shenanigans Alison (Sasha Pieterse) was trying to pull from behind bars.
Here's what you missed Tuesday:

We know this is mind-blowing information, but the characters in "Pretty Little Liars'" actually have lives beyond hanging out with their omnipresent sociopath stalker. Yep, Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin and Emily Fields are in their senior year of High School -- which means college is just around the corner. Of course, it's slightly difficult to get excited about school when you're being harassed on a daily basis, which brings us to this week's recap, in which the little liars juggle college, family, their favorite deranged psycho, and their fleet of significant others -- one of whom used to stalk them (cough, Ezra, cough).
Mike Is More Evil Than Ever (Might Be A Vampire), Aria Makes A New Friend Good news everyone: Rosewood is holding a blood drive, which is obviously a great opportunity for A to steal the liars' bodily fluids and plant them all over town.

Mad Men is not a violent show. Or at least, it’s not physically violent. Most of the great modern TV dramas favor protagonists engaged in violent behavior, with major characters frequently killed off: Think of Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy or Homeland, or incredibly popular bloodfests Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Mad Men is different. Nobody holds a gun. Nobody breaks the law. The show’s transgressions are mostly mental or emotional: Cuckoldry, thwarted ambition, the encroaching sensation that one is all alone in the universe.
Nevertheless, the show has a history of killing off characters.

Another handsome face is on his way to Rosewood.
After meeting Ezra's brother on last night's episode of Pretty Little Liars, viewers can now prepare themselves for Andrew Campbell, a character fans of the book series on which this show is based know well.
In the novel, Campbell is a high school senior who grows into a significant love interest for Spencer. He's also a prime suspect for A.
But before those theories fly - or before Spoby fans become too worried - E! News confirms that Brandon W. Jones is only booked for one episode as Andrew.
The actor, last seen on CSI, will appear on a 2013 installment of Pll titled "Mona-Mania!."
Jones has also guest-starred on episodes of Lie to Me, The Finder, Jane By Design and Switched at Birth.
