The Talented Mr. Rollins is the third episode of Season 7 of Pretty Little Liars and the 143rd episode of the show overall. It aired on July 5, 2016.

Synopsis

Still reeling from the trauma of Hanna's abduction and dark fate, the Liars must shift their focus to another one of their own. In order to protect Alison from Uber A's threats, the PLLs snap into action at a chance to rescue her from the hospital. However, in doing so, they make a deadly mistake that changes everything.

Notes

• Yvonne reveals to Spencer that she and Toby are now engaged.
• Toby discovers 'Elliott Rollins' is an alias, as he discovers that he received a moving violation in 1958; making him far too old.
• Emily gives Aria the keys to the DiLaurentis House, where she finds blue eye contacts, ingredients to make latex, a bunch of tools, and drugs that he had given to Alison. The first two were used to make the Wilden mask.
• Aria and Hanna visit an Amish community, where they meet Eliza, who was given dolls of The Liars from Charlotte. She also tells them about Elliott and Charlotte's affair.
• The Liars, more specifically Hanna, unintentionally hit Elliott Rollins with their car, killing him instantly.
• Additionally in this episode, there's a cameo of Sara Shepard's new book, “The Amateurs”.
