Season chronology | |
The second season of Pretty Little Liars, based on the books of the same name by Sara Shepard, began airing on June 14, 2011 on ABC Family.[1] It will continue from the events of the season finale of the first season: the four main characters, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Aria Montgomery, escaping the hands of Ian Thomas, who is presumed to have been killed and whose body later mysteriously disappears. The mysterious "A" continues to send messages to the four girls after saving them from Ian. It was announced in June that a special Halloween-themed episode would air as part of ABC Family's 13 Nights Of Halloween special. This increased the episode count from 24 to 25.

Storylines
Season two picks up immediately where season one left off. After telling the police about Ian’s death and then the cops finding no body, the girls are now seen as liars by the town. With their parents concerned for their daughters, the girls are now forced to seek counseling from a therapist. But will the girls be able to entrust everything in her? “Where’s Ian?” “Who is A?” will continue to be the mysteries of this season, though Marlene King stated that there will be a whole new mystery that is going to be introduced right away and will be a huge one that’ll have people talking. With the girls being forced to separate and the ever so sinister “A” watching their every move, things in Rosewood are about to get a whole lot crazier![9][10]
Spencer Hastings
Spencer Hastings has a lot on her shoulders. Not only does her family not believe her account on Ian, but they are now forbidding her to see Toby; with his family as well. Will she find a way to keep seeing Toby without her family knowing or will she give in to her parent’s demands? And with a person like “A” watching her every move, caution will definitely need to be had.
Hanna Marin
After suffering a broken heart from Caleb’s betrayal, Hanna will find herself confronted again with the man who caused it all. Will she be able to forgive him and reconnect, or is their relationship a thing of the past? And with Sean and Lucas vying for her affections, and the possibility of finding out about Mona’s deception, Hanna’s got a lot of complications to deal with before she can find peace of mind.
Aria Montgomery
After learning Ezra’s ex-fiancee Jackie Molina is working with him and Ezra hiding it from her, Aria now finds herself hurt and betrayed. Things are now bittersweet for her because if she stays with him, she can finally have a normal relationship that other couples have without hiding out in his apartment. However, she must also face the fact that his ex is now in the picture. Besides having to decide if the relationship is worth it, she also has to deal with her family having more secrets in the house and her brother Mike continuing to grow in his rebellious ways. Aria's relationship with Ezra will also be tempted by the arrival of a new love interest who will be age appropriate. He is also someone we've already met before.
Emily Fields
Emily's love life won't be the only thing with complications this season. After being informed by her mother that the Fields family will be moving to Texas, Emily is now faced with the dilemma of moving. But moving might not be her only option as she soon discovers there's something she can do to keep herself in Rosewood. But will she go to the extremes to stay?
