List of episodes

The fifth season of Pretty Little Liars, based on the books of the same name by Sara Shepard, was ordered on March 26, 2013, and premiered on June 10, 2014 on ABC Family. Like the second season, the season will consist of 25 episodes, including a special holiday-themed episode, instead of a Halloween episode which will be written and directed by King, and will be the 13th episode of the season.[2][3][4] It also contained the 100th episode and the episode was written by showrunner I. Marlene King. Shooting for the season began on March 24, 2014.[5] The promotional poster was released on May 28, 2014.[6] A second promotional poster was released after the hundredth episode was aired, on July 9, 2014.[7]

It was announced on June 10, 2014 that Pretty Little Liars was renewed for two additional seasons through season 6 and 7, making the show ABC Family's longest running original series.[8]

Overview

The girls try to adjust to the new world in which Alison is very much alive, while still trying to keep up with Ali's new lie about her whereabouts over the last two years. They try to live their lives free from 'A' after Aria manages to save them from Shana in New York, however a new 'A' comes back, blowing up the Cavanaugh house and leaving the liars more afraid than ever. With Alison back, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer notice how their friendship has changed since Ali's disappearance. The other residents in Rosewood also deal with Alison coming home, and it leads to Mona making an army against her, consisting of residents whom Ali bullied back in the day. The liars try to figure out who killed Mrs. DiLaurentis, and if there is a connection between her and the girl who was buried in Alison's grave, Bethany Young.

With Alison back, Hanna starts to have an identity crisis, and it progresses when Caleb comes back from Ravenswood and Alison moves in to the Marin house. Aria struggles with guilt after the incident in New York when she killed Shana to save the girls. She gets help from Ezra, and slowly starts to reconcile with him. Aria also begins to volunteer at Radley in order to find out information about Bethany Young, who was a patient there. Tension begins to swarm between her and Hanna when Hanna almost reveals what happened in New York to the new girl at school, Sydney. Emily tries to deal with her breakup with Paige, while struggling with her feelings toward Alison. She also helps the new girl, Sydney, with her swimming, until she finds out that Sydney knows Jenna. Meanwhile, Spencer deals with her parents splitting up and finding out what Melissa knows about the night Alison disappeared. Following several leads to find out more about Bethany Young, she learns that Mrs. DiLaurentis had spent some time with her. Furthermore, Melissa reveals that she was the one who buried Bethany Young, believing that Spencer killed the girl, as she was trying to protect Spencer.

As the season progresses, the four girls begin to feel uncertain about Alison and whether she is telling them the truth, and Alison begins to lose their trust. The friendship hits a breaking point when Ali has to identify her so-called "kidnapper", and the girls realize that Alison has lied to them the entire time she has been back; they ultimately decide that she can't be trusted anymore. They then set up a plan to confess everything to the police. However, 'A' stops them before they can go through with the plan, and the liars finds out that Alison has gone rogue. When they team up with Mona to try and figure out what Ali told the police, they discover that Mrs. DiLaurentis was having an affair with Bethany Young's father, and Mona tells the girls she thinks Alison is A. Because of that, Mona is killed, and Spencer is arrested for Bethany Young's murder.

Casting

It wouldn’t be Halloween, or "Pretty Little Liars," if it didn’t include some of "A's" victims in a "Dearly Departed"-themed segment with interviews from those who met a deadly end, such as Bianca Lawson ("Maya St. Germain"), Ryan Merriman ("Ian Thomas") and Bryce Johnson ("Det. Darren Wilden"). Also "Pretty Little Liars" super fans weigh in on their favorite OMG moments and what the show has meant to them. And everyone has a theory on who they think is "A!"[48]
