'Pretty Little Liars' Season 6 Spoilers: Emily 'Has Two Secrets' And 'A Sprinkling' Of A Love Interest, Showrunner Reveals
"Pretty Little Liars" returns next Tuesday to continue its sixth season and when it does, the story will pick up five years from when viewers last saw the Liars.
In Episode 11, "Of Late I Think of Rosewood," the girls will be heading back to their hometown at the request of Alison (Sasha Pieterse), who wants them to be there for the court hearing of Charlotte (Vanessa Ray). A new teaser for Season 6B shows Emily (Shay Mitchell) arriving at her parents' home and asking her mother about Greg, Mrs. Fields' new boyfriend.
"We're taking a little break," her mother answers. "It was just time for a break," she says, before suggesting that they talk about it over tea and disappearing inside the house. Emily follows, but not before gingerly touching a flag attached to a window, honoring her father who passed away sometime in the years the series jumped over.
