What if that had really happened? One can only imagine. It could have been the nuttiest development to date. There were photographs, parents were called, Ezra was seen handcuffed … but it was all in Aria’s head. In what could have been the biggest shocker of all played out halfway through the premiere, when Aria was presumably called into the vice principal’s office because an anonymous student had tipped him off on an inappropriate relationship between she and Mr. What if “Ezria” really was exposed? What a misdirect for the ages. It seems Mona is on the Liars’ side for now, at least - and she’s smart enough (duh) to know that her “friendship” with Hanna is all a ruse. (To catch everyone up: Mona put Wilden’s car in Hanna’s garage Shana knew Jenna before she came to town but both are afraid of Melissa Mona thought Cece was Alison Lucas gave Emily the massage, Mona gave Toby the job and Mona didn’t push Ian off the bell tower in season one and doesn’t know who did it.) She also uses the chip as a key to ingratiate herself into the group. After all, Mona did take the chip out of Wilden’s car that would incriminate Hanna’s mother, bring the girls coffee and breakfast (every little thing counts) and reveal some truths about what’s been going on. Is Mona to be trusted? The jury’s still out on this one, but her actions in this episode are steps in the right direction.

Just before the girls see Melissa ( Torrey DeVitto) unmasking herself as the other guilty party, Mona’s computer gets hacked. And Mona drops a bombshell: “It’s your sister,” she tells Spencer. It’s revealed pretty early on that Wilden was the Queen of Hearts (surprise!) but there’s another Queen of Hearts as well. Who is the Queen of Hearts? In the Halloween special, the Queen of Hearts was the person who drugged Aria ( Lucy Hale) and wreaked havoc on the train.
When they go to his funeral to cover their tracks - Spencer ( Troian Bellisario) and Mona ( Janel Parrish) discover that it’s Hanna’s mother’s phone in Wilden’s casket.
How did it get there? They’ve figured out that “A” has made it look like they were the culprits behind Wilden’s murder. Turns out, it wasn’t just a pig in the car: They discover Wilden’s dead body covered in tarp on the ground. What is in Detective Wilden’s trunk? It’s definitely not what you think: a dead pig! The next day, the girls’ discover Wilden’s ( Bryce Johnson) cop car that they abandoned to be surrounded by Rosewood police. Unfortunately, none of those mysteries were fully solved - but writer/director Marlene King went full-force in addressing some of the series’ important queries. With a premiere titled ” ‘A’ Is for A-l-i-v-e,” it’s no wonder theories on Alison’s ( Sasha Pieterse) true fate, the identity of “A” and the mystery of Red Coat dominated the conversation days and weeks before the season kicked off.
