The winter festivities will kick off on 8/7 c on ABC Family with the Pretty Little Liar mid-season 3 premiere and then will be followed by the Season 2 premiere of The Lying Game at 9/8c.
So what sorts of twists and turns do the Pretty Little Liars masterminds have planned upon the show’s exciting return? Well, along with a highly anticipated guest star appearance by Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin, Season 3 promises a whole of dark, juicy drama and A-team mayhem. Pretty Little Liars‘s fans can’t wait to see how long it will be before Spencer and the Liars suspect Toby of shady business. Also, taking into account that a well-known character perishes on the A train in “This Is A Dark Ride,” we’re eager to see how the Rosewood community deals with the shocking event! The last episode of the first half of season 3 left all views on the edge of their seats, before you watch the premiere here’s a recap of the last episode.
“As the Pretty Little Liars got closer to the new A during the summer finale Tuesday night, the betrayer within their mist wasn’t the one they suspected – Emily’s girlfriend Paige – but Maya’s not-so-nice cousin Nate (who is really her stalker, Lyndon) and — gasp — Toby!
After luring Emily to a cabin, Nate went on the attack, pulling out a video of Maya in which she confessed that she was staying at Noel Khan’s place in the woods while she sorted things out. Emily had taken Maya from Nate, given a little of herself back to him and then rejected him for Paige. So now he was going to take something away from Emily: A bound-and-gagged Paige!
Being the scrapper that she is, Emily managed to lure Nate away and ended up stabbing him with his own knife before a gun-toting Caleb found her. And then a shot went off. Cut to a bleeding Caleb being wheeled away by the paramedics. But who shot Hanna’s guy? Did he accidentally self-inflict the injury? Did Nate rise up and shoot him? Does Emily know something we don’t?
Meanwhile, Garrett was released and, Toby and Spencer finally did the deed, which should have been the warning bell. Still, the episode’s final twist – Toby is the black hoodie-clad conspirator in cahoots with Mona – came as a shock. In other potentially couple crushing news, Maggie showed up at Ezra’s apartment, but promised to keep Aria’s secret — and her own baby one — safe. But the look on Aria’s face as her boyfriend and his ex did some catching up spoke volumes about the troubles ahead for ‘Ezria.’ ”
Be sure to catch the Pretty Little Lairs winter premiere only at ABC Family on January 8, 2013, 8/7c!
