In it, Melissa explains what happened the night Alison went missing. She describes seeing Spencer with a shovel, and later finding a blonde girl in a yellow top on the ground.

Melissa assumed that Spencer struck and killed Alison. She buried the girl to protect Spencer, but realizes now that she buried Bethany Young alive. Detective Tanner has started asking what the girls know about Bethany, and it seems like they’ve all become suspects. Knowing this, Spencer decides to share Melissa’s video with the others.

Hanna thinks that Mona is telling them where to find proof that Alison is ‘A’. They decide the “Ice Ball” Alison is hosting could be the perfect opportunity for a heist. Alison has a vivid dream. Mona visits her from beyond the grave and shows her a memory: A young Alison finds two hidden Christmas gifts, each containing a yellow dress.

Alison’s mother insists that, if her father asks, she must say she only found one dress. Mona says this was the birth of the monster Alison became. The girls meet up at the ball. Once Alison arrives, Hanna and Spencer sneak away to search her house. Toby sits by Spencer’s bedroom window and acts as a lookout while they’re inside.

Spencer is hesitant, but ultimately agrees to the plan. The two are at the Vanderwaal house when they find a camera hidden inside a vent.

The police prepare to arrest Alison as she prepares to flee. The girls intercept her behind her house and form a human barricade, preventing her from running. She gives one last ominous warning before the police handcuff her.

Spencer’s charges are officially dropped. Mike opens up about his feelings for the first time since Mona’s death. He is frustrated that more people are mourning her now than appreciated her when she was alive. Realizing she was one of those people, Aria asks to learn about the version of Mona that Mike knew and loved. Emily meets Paige at the airport, but the news of Alison’s arrest does not convince her to stay. The two share a tearful goodbye. The liars’ relief that ‘A’ has finally been caught is short-lived, as the tails of three fireworks form the letter ‘A’ in the sky. It seems that ‘A’ might still be out there while Alison tosses and turns in a jail cell.

15. Fresh Meat

Talia responds with empathy and helps Emily fix her questionable empanadas. When Aria learns that Jackie Molina is the admissions officer at Talmadge, she writes an unfaithful e-mail expressing regret for her relationship with Ezra. Jackie reads the letter and expresses solidarity with Aria for falling for the same awful man. Aria gets her acceptance from Talmadge, but knows that ‘A’ will use her letter against her soon.

They share a kiss and end up taking things to the bedroom. Spencer and Caleb decide to go back for the knife. They find it in the woods and burn it in Rosewood High’s walk-in pottery kiln. ‘A’ lurks around the school and even locks Caleb inside the kiln, but the pair are ultimately successful. Later, Toby confronts Spencer about breaking their promise. She tries to explain, but Toby can’t hear the details. In the battle for his loyalty, Toby’s new police job is edging Spencer out.

16. Over a Barrel

Aria gets a text signed by Detective Holbrook asking to meet up and explain everything. It's a dubious request, but she sees it as a chance to convince him to stop helping Alison.

Inside is Mona’s laptop, several bags of crime scene evidence, and a large, ominous barrel.

Spencer is disturbed by the possibility that Mona’s body is dissolving inside. They leave the storage unit as they found it, and Caleb wipes the building's security footage. Toby spies a text from Caleb on Spencer's phone that alludes to their recent felonious behavior. He presses for details, but Spencer is tight-lipped. Meanwhile, Caleb and Hanna discuss the contents of the storage unit. Hanna's next plan is to connect everything to Holbrook, but Caleb has bad news: the unit is rented in Hanna's name. ' A' ending: 'A' logs into Detective Holbrook's computer at the police department.

17. The Bin of Sin

'A' has decided to make Hanna their scapegoat, leaving her in a state of panic. Caleb corrupts the storage facility's data and dissociates Hanna's name from 'A's unit. The other girls want to tell Detective Tanner about Mona's laptop and let the cops do the rest. Hanna is unsatisfied with this plan. Secretly, she gathers the equipment she'll need to empty the storage unit. Caleb tries to talk her out of the idea, but ends up agreeing to help her. Aria shows Ezra her Talmadge letter, and he initially takes it well.

Upon reflection, though, he finds some truth in what Aria wrote about their relationship. Ezra says that Aria shouldn't be held back by him when she goes to college next year.

The girls need to look elsewhere for 'A's henchman, and Mike has been drawing a lot of their suspicion. ' A' ending: 'A' is frustrated to find that Bethany's Radley tape is missing from the compartment in Mona's book.

19. Out, Damned Spot

Aria, Hanna, and Spencer donate to their school's blood drive. Mike is caught looking inside the fridge where donations are being stored. The girls tell Aria to ask Mike what's up, but Aria hesitates. She doubts her brother will answer her questions, and fears what she'll find out if he does. The stress leads Aria to panic during a math test and copy answers from Andrew Campbell. Andrew confronts Aria about her wandering eye and offers to tutor her. Hanna is swimming in college offers, but tuition is a whole different beast.

Financial aid isn't granting her enough because of her father's substantial income. Tom admits that he plans to pay for Kate's private education. Having underestimated Hanna's prospects, he isn't prepared to do the same for her. Hanna calls her father out for his lack of interest in her. Jonny asks Spencer to help him with a "mural" he's painting at Hollis. While he works, Spencer reflects on how seldom she does anything for fun. It comes out the next day that Jonny's "mural" was really graffiti. Spencer is angry, feeling that Jonny tricked her into breaking the law.

Still, the experience did give her something valuable. Emily finds out that Talia is married. Talia apologizes for lying and explains that she and her husband have an open relationship. Ashley comes clean to Ted about her night with Jason. She is ready to accept his proposal, but he tells her he needs time to think. Aria answers Mike's phone when she sees a private call come in. The call is from the women’s correctional facility and it is Alison's voice saying the name Hank Mahoney. Aria answers by saying Alison’s name, upon hearing her, Alison hangs up.

Aria asks Mike who Hank Mahoney is, and he claims not to know. Later, Emily sees Mike withdraw $400 from an ATM. She interrupts Aria's tutoring session to relay what she saw. Andrew drives Aria and Emily to a diner where Mike is meeting up with "Hank Mahoney," whom Emily recognizes as Cyrus Petrillo. Mike hands Cyrus a thick envelope. The girls initially assume it's the cash, but they start to wonder if it could be their blood instead.

Emily decides to compete in the pageant herself, promising Hanna the prize money if she wins. Andrew tells Aria that Mike left something in a tree behind Mona's house. Aria finds the tree and recovers a vial of blood from it. Mike appears suddenly, causing Aria to drop the vial before running away. Mike chases after Aria and begs her to let him explain. Before Thanksgiving, Mona had been siphoning and storing her own blood as part of a scheme to fake her own death. Landing Alison in jail for murder would earn Mona the privilege of knowing 'A's identity.

She could then come "back from the dead," exonerate Alison, and expose 'A'. The vial of her blood was a parting gift to Mike; a promise that she would return. With no sign of Mona in months, Mike is afraid that 'A' double-crossed her. One revelation sticks out above the rest: Alison is in jail for something she didn't do, and the girls helped put her there. ' A' ending: 'A' uses Mike's weight set before taking out a wrench, their intentions not entirely clear.

21. Bloody Hell

Veronica wants Spencer to stay away from Alison's case and focus on her future. She sends Spencer to London to meet with a professor at Oxford. During the interview, Spencer's bag starts leaking blood. 'A' takes credit for the stunt, suggesting that there are more surprises where that came from.

Spencer searches her luggage in a panic until Melissa's roommate, Colin, steps in to help her calm down. Talia decides all at once to quit her job and file for divorce. Feeling partially responsible for Talia's situation, Emily offers her a place to stay for a few days. Veronica visits Alison in jail. Alison says that her lawyers won't let her testify, and Veronica agrees that it's a bad idea. Alison's mind is made up, though, and she asks Veronica to coach her before she takes the stand. Aria and Hanna visit Cyrus Petrillo at the hospital where he is being treated for severe burns.

They ask Cyrus what he knows about 'A', and he writes down the name "Varjack." Emily is rehearsing for the beauty pageant when Talia stops by. The sparks of a relationship are flying once again when the pageant coordinator interrupts. She warns Emily that her friendship with a murder suspect could make her ineligible to compete.

Concerned for Mike's safety, Aria seeks comfort in a kiss with Andrew. Ashley tells Hanna that she and Ted are officially engaged. She describes how they worked through their conflict together, and Hanna feels inspired to try the same with Alison. Hanna visits the jail, and Alison surprises her by offering the first apology. The two agree to give their friendship another try. ' A' ending: 'A' uses a $20 bill to bookmark Deuteronomy 32:35 in each of the jail's Bibles.

22. To Plea or Not to Plea

The D.A. offers Alison a plea deal: In exchange for her admitted guilt and the name of her accomplice, she will get a maximum of 15 years in jail. Alison doesn't want to give a false confession or name a fake accomplice. However, when she is attacked by a group of inmates, she begins to wonder if taking the plea could help her negotiate a move to a safer prison. Melissa and Spencer have a heart-to-heart about everything happening back home. Melissa says that leaving Rosewood gave her a fresh start, and suggests that Spencer could do the same.

Colin asks Spencer on an outing that looks a lot like a date. They go to the theater, get drinks, and end the night by sharing a kiss. Varjak's identity is still a mystery. The girls know that the Holly Varjak passport, along with the other evidence from the DiLaurentis house, was planted to make Alison look guilty. Ezra theorizes that 'A' hired James Neilan to pose as Mona's lawyer. Aria and Emily wait outside Neilan's office while Ezra tries to shake him down for information. Neilan won't budge, though, and Ezra leaves empty-handed.

Their plan is looking like a bust until they see Neilan leaving his office in a hurry. They follow him to a house in the middle of the woods surrounded by a tall fence. Emily makes it inside just before the gate closes, separating her from the others. Aria and Ezra look for another way in while Emily conducts a solo mission. She finds Varjak's name and phone number on a receipt in a trash can and watches a frantic Neilan pack up several things (a gun, etc.) before he leaves again.

The contents of the barrel from 'A's storage unit are identified as human remains. Detective Tanner strongly believes they are Mona's, and that Hanna is Alison's accomplice. Tanner's theory is seemingly confirmed when Hanna's blood is found on the clothes Mona was wearing when she died. The only option Hanna has left is to tell the police about 'A'. Before she can, though, 'A' remotely deletes their texts from all of the liars' phones. With no proof to show, Hanna is arrested. Alison sees Hanna being led to her cell, and when her lawyer asks for a final decision on the plea deal, Alison refuses it.

23. The Melody Lingers On

Alison's lawyer consults with her one last time before her trial begins. Ashley and Ted check in on Hanna, as her fate is also dependent on the verdict. Spencer realizes that Varjak's number matches the number in Alison's personal ads, proving that whomever Alison was communicating with shares an identity with Varjak and 'A'. Alison says that this person claimed to know who killed her mother, and that their messages stopped after Mona was killed. 'A' quickly shuts down the idea that Mona was ever behind the number by calling and playing a French song that Mona used to love.

While talking to Aria, Andrew seems to imply that Mona's death was a welcome occurrence. Later, Andrew apologizes and assures Aria that the comment he made doesn't reflect his true feelings. Veronica forbids Spencer from attending Alison's trial. After missing the first day, Spencer decides she cannot continue to follow her mother's orders. She cares less about what the public thinks of her and more about what her friends think of her. In the prosecutor's opening statement, he tells the jury that Alison lied about being kidnapped, that Mona knew the truth, and that Alison killed her to keep the secret.

The girls begin to panic because the first of his claims is true. Jason takes the stand to rescind his earlier identification of Alison in the video of Mona's killer. The prosecutor presses Jason about the change to his testimony, accusing him of doing a favor for Hanna's mother in return for the "favors" she did for him. The public broadcasting of Ashley's affair riles up Ted's congregation and puts some strain back on their relationship. The girls return to Mona's bedroom to search for more clues, only to find the place turned upside-down.

It looks like whatever Mona left for them, 'A' found it first. However, Aria realizes that 'A' could have staged the scene to trick the girls into leaving. Her theory is proven correct when Spencer looks behind the glass of a hand mirror and finds a note consisting of three cryptic phrases. Meanwhile, Andrew watches the Vanderwaal house from outside, and a crime lab analyst looks at evidence from the ice cream factory. ' A' ending: 'A' shreds paper evidence, including a social security card for "Paul Varjak", and uses the scraps to line Tippi's cage.

24. I'm a Good Girl, I Am

Lesli Stone testifies that Mona once wrote her a letter saying that Alison threatened her life. She also tells the jury about her suspicions of the other girls and Mike Montgomery. Spencer and Emily look for a way to confirm Alison's alibi. They track down a girl named Kendra who hid in the park on Thanksgiving while she waited out a bad drug trip. Alison's lawyer speaks with Kendra, but decides she won't be a reliable or effective witness. 'A' mails a severed cow tongue to the Montgomery house. Ezra gets Mike out of town by bringing him to his cabin, but Caleb accosts them when they arrive.

He urges Mike to testify. Ezra argues that Mike (16) is too young to make that decision. Mike steals Ezra's car, but his drive home is interrupted when an arrow pierces his windshield. Caleb and Ezra run through a Pathfinder Scout camp, dodging more arrows before finding Mike tied to a tetherball pole. They tell Detective Tanner what happened, but she doesn't take them seriously. Andrew is jealous that Aria is asking favors of Ezra, but he fails to be there for her when she needs his help. Aria looks at Andrew's yearbook application and is amused to learn that he was a Pathfinder Scout.

Hanna and Alison find creative ways of exchanging information, going so far as to injure themselves so they can talk in the jail's infirmary. They pass a note back and forth containing the three phrases from Mona's bedroom. Toby is unsatisfied with the level of responsibility that is being asked of him at the police station. Spencer hints at her recent infidelity, and Toby decides to get his priorities straight before he loses her for good. Alison takes the witness stand. Her lawyer demonstrates that she has limited strength in her right arm due to a childhood injury, while Mona's killer had no such limitation.

The prosecutor then brings up an archery competition that Alison won as a child. Her ability to finesse a bow and arrow seems to prove that her arm injury is just another fabrication. Alison later confesses to her lawyer that her archery win was illegitimate. The jury finds Alison guilty, and the rest of the liars are arrested as accessories. ' A' ending: 'A' uses dolls to act out a scene where a prison van drives to a castle.

25. Welcome to the Dollhouse

Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily are headed to jail when their van comes to an abrupt stop. 'A' knocks out the driver and gasses the liars, rendering them unconscious. They wake up in their beds, but this isn't home. Frames are missing their photos, windows open to walls of dirt, and cameras watch from the ceilings. The girls reconvene in a shared hallway where a disembodied voice directs them to a re-creation of Alison's living room. Sitting at the piano is Mona Vanderwaal, wearing yellow and claiming to be Alison.

She brings the girls to a child's playroom where they receive invitations to "prom." Hanna tries to incite a prison break, and a loud siren begins to wail. It doesn't quiet until everyone returns to their rooms. Peter and Veronica seek answers from Alison, who tells them that 'A' is back. Without police support, The Hastings work with Caleb, Toby, and Ezra to conduct an independent search. Andrew remotely listens in on their conversations. At night, Mona explains that the dollhouse experiences short power outages on a consistent schedule. A long hallway has a vault on one end and an exit on the other, but neither is accessible within the time limit.

Anyone caught outside of their room will be tortured as punishment. Spencer mentally rearranges the blocks from the playroom to spell "Charles." 'A' gives Mona a gas mask, but doesn't explain why. The girls are forced to decorate for "prom," and Spencer and Mona are strangely enthusiastic. They rattle off a list of materials, secretly planning to build a device that will shut off the building's power. They disguise the finished product as a camera for Aria. Caleb offers Detective Tanner his expertise in exchange for access to the PD's resources.

He locates the missing van at Campbell Farm where the police find 'A's lair. They see footage of the girls, including Mona, in the dollhouse. The girls attend "prom" in dresses provided to them by 'A'. Spencer lures "Charles" out of the shadows, Aria triggers the power outage, and the girls run. Spencer goes to 'A's vault and finds a collection of childhood memories, including a video of Mrs. DiLaurentis, two young boys, and a baby girl. 'A' finds Spencer, but when Mona shows up, they disappear. The girls make it outside, only to find themselves surrounded by an electric fence and miles of forest.

Season 6

1. Game on, Charles

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.
