Pilot

"" was the series premiere of Pretty Little Liars, airing June 8, 2010.

Synopsis
It's been a year since the disappearance of her best friend Alison DiLaurentis, and Aria Montgomery has returned from her father's sabbatical in Iceland to a whole new dynamic in Rosewood. Her former friends, Hanna Marin, Spencer Hastings, and Emily Fields have all disbanded – and the formerly chubby, gawky Hanna, has become the new Queen Bee.

Aria's fling with a cute, young college grad named Ezra goes awry when he shows up at her first day of class as Mr. Fitz, her new English teacher. In addition, Aria is forced to reiterate her promise to her father that she won't spill to her unsuspecting mom about her father's past infidelity.

Hanna shoplifts a pair of expensive sunglasses from the local mall and gets caught later on by the security tapes. Hanna is arrested and almost munches on candy corn to calm her nerves at the precinct until "A" sends a mocking text, "prison food makes you fat." The man on the case, Detective Wilden, has his sights more set on her newly single mother, Ashley. We later see Ashley taking him upstairs to her bedroom...

Meanwhile, Emily is secretly wrestling with her sexuality, sparked by the addition of a spunky new girl on the block named Maya. Both girls say they have boyfriends, but Maya kisses Emily as she leaves. Unfortunately, Maya is even persuasive enough to get Emily to try smoking weed for the first time.

All-star student Spencer must deal with her sister's flirtatious new fiancé, Wren, who massages a bikini clad Spencer's back when she displays signs of cramps. Spencer flirts back too, pronouncing Wren the first boyfriend of Melissa's that she's ever liked...(Well maybe the second.)

Each girl harbors a secret too personal and scandalous to ever reveal, though a sudden string of ominous messages from "A" threatens to expose them all. Is their friend Alison still alive and watching - or is it someone else completely, toying with our pretty little liars?
