Pretty Little Liars Winter Premiere

I have to say this is one of my favorite shows. Don't be a snob because it is on ABC family, they know how to rock my television.

Background - Based on the book series by Sara Shepard (which I read the first installment and plan to read much more), PLL is about 4 friends who's friend Alison went missing back in 8th grade. Fast forward 3 years to their junior year in high school, they start to get these creepy texts/emails/messages from someone named A. They think it is Alison (still alive) until her dead body is found buried in the backyard under cement. We found out later she was buried alive. Before Alison went missing, they someone trapped a new neighbor Jenna is a barn that exploded. She went blind because of this. We have started to believe that Jenna, her cop boyfriend Garrett and Ali's brother Jason are in this together. We also start to think that Jenna and Garrett killed Ali, blamed it on Jason, but we still have no idea who A is. A is super creepy and is watching them at all times. A killed Ian (Spencer's sister's husband) because he was getting too close to the truth. In the fall finale, A kidnapped their therapist, Dr. Sullivan, because she figured out who A was. As for the girls, Hannah who used to be chubby, but is now blonde and beautiful, broke up her father's wedding to Isabel who has a nasty daughter named Kate who tried to humiliate her. Her boyfriend Caleb is living in LA with his real mom. Aria, who's father was cheating on her mother with a student, and who's brother is having some depression issues, is sleeping with her old high school English teacher Ezra Fitz. He is now a teacher at college, so he can be with Aria, but her parents do not know. His ex Jackie, who also teaches at Hollis college, is blackmailing Aria to stay away from him. Spencer, who comes from a family of hardworking winners, is dating Toby, Jenna's half brother and the town's black cat. A tells her to break up with him. Her sister Melissa is off in Philly after the death of Ian. Emily, the now lesbian swimmer, is the most breakable of them all. In the finale, the girls are found with the murder weapon (the shovel) that was planted at the barn where A told them Dr. Sullivan would be. All caught up? Now, lets begin....

The four girls are doing community service for getting caught with the shovel. Spencer and Emily are at each other's throats, or so it seems. Spencer then confronts Garrett and lays her cards on the table. She says how is the NAT club and Jason and Jenna. She tries to make him nervous and she wins. Meanwhile, Toby is still stuck on Spence and makes her a rocking chair. So sweet. She has to turn it down to keep him safe. He doesn't understand, but leaves in a huff.

Emily tries to get back onto the swim team, but they are not having it. She tries to make it seem like she is an outsider from all of the girls and stages fights with them. She wants to strike a deal with A to meet alone so they can ambush A.

Hannah reunites with Caleb as he decides to room with Lucas, who is clearly in love with Han. We find out that Hannah's dad is moving back to Rosewood, with Isabel and evil step sister Kate. Hannah is mortified.

In other news, Aria has a confrontation with Jackie. Ezra walks in and Aria spills the beans about what Jackie has been doing to her. Aria and Ezra decide they want to tell the rents the truth. They cannot take it anymore. They to go to tell Byron and Ella and their reaction is horrible, my mouth is open the whole time. He tells Ezra to leave, especially after finding out they continued their affair while he was her teacher. Mike, her bother, bunches Ezra in the face. He is afraid the punch from dad would be worse so he intercepts.

A is going to meet Em at a creepy greenhouse. She tells him she has the box that was in Ali's room and will show A what is inside. When she shows she has nothing, A is pissed. A lunges for Em and they start to fight. The girls finally show up and A gets away. However, A drops their phone. This is a huge discovery for the PLL girls.

As for my thoughts on who is A. Well, in the Halloween episode, we see that Mona was tortured by the girls and so is Lucas. So I do think they have a hand in it. Maybe as a team, like a Scream 1 thing? I have heard in the books that Ali has a twin that is locked up in an asylum, could that be the answer? I cannot wait till next Monday, can you?
