The season 6 finale of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS delivered up quite the twist: Andrea Parker (Jessica DiLaurentis) had returned….only she wasn’t Jessica anymore, she was actually Jessica’s previously unknown twin, Mark Drake. And Mark was also the biological mother of Charles/CeCe/Charlotte, who had given her then-son up for adoption to her sister and Jessica’s husband while she was in Radley. Not only that, but it was revealed that Mark was working with Dr. Elliott Rollins to drive Alison crazy and have her commit herself to a mental institution so that the pair could get revenge for Charlotte and take over control of the Carissimi Group.

Whew. It was a pretty big finale. Given what happened, it should come as no surprise that Freeform has confirmed that actress Andrea Parker will be returning to season 7 as a series regular and will be playing Mary Drake for the foreseeable future. Executive Producer Marlene King appeared with Parker in a post-finale Facebook video and shared a few teasers for the upcoming season.

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS will return this summer on Freeform.

(Warning: spoilers are coming…)

Following the PRETTY LITTLE LIARS season 6 finale (read the recap), creator I. Marlene King took to Facebook to confirm that Mary Drake is Charlotte’s biological mother and is Jessica DiLaurentis’ twin (although that was pretty obvious to everyone since Andrea Parker played both roles). The Executive Producer also offered up four teasers for season 7:

(1) This it the beginning of the end of PLL “as you know it”. Marlene King has promised that next season will have a reveal “almost every week/episode”.

(2) “A. D. is Uber A”, Marlene confirmed.

(3) Season 7 will be “the most romantic season ever of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS”.

(4) The PLLs will “make their biggest mistake of their lives and Uber A is going to use it to fuel A’s final, final game”. Yikes!

Check out Marlene’s video below. PRETTY LITTLE LIARS will return this summer on Freeform.

Hanna made a bold play in the winter finale of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, confessing to Charlotte’s murder in an effort to trap and expose Uber A. We opened this week just moments where the penultimate episode ended and Uber A responded to Hanna’s texts, telling her not to go to the police. This would be between the two of them. When Hanna asked for one more day, Uber A warned her that it would be her last.

Ali had returned home to Rosewood and encouraged Elliott to head out to his conference, leaving her alone (and vulnerable). Spencer, meanwhile, was showing Toby the Radley plans and they had roped him in in an attempt to figure out what Sara Harvey was trying to find in the former sanitarium. Despite Spencer’s protests to the contrary, he was determined that the two of them would find a way in to the secret room together the next day after the election.

Ezra seemed to be having some sort of breakthrough when he confessed to Aria that he had admitted to himself he would never see Nicole again. Over at the DiLaurentis house, Alison weirdly heard her music box playing in an otherwise empty room while she saw a flash of her dead mother. Who then called her to creepily ask her daughter “did you miss me?” Later, Ali invited Emily over to tell her what she had seen, but both girls wondered if the visions were just a result of the pain killers.

Over at the Hastings house, the campaign team was gearing up for the election when Mona stopped by and offered to help. Naturally, Spencer was suspicious. But she eventually handed over a phone for Mona to make some calls to voters. As Caleb and Hanna prepared their trap for Uber A, Toby told Yvonne he couldn’t make the post-election party because he had to help Spencer — naturally, Yvonne wasn’t happy about that.

An old romance was rekindled when Ezra told Aria that their editor loved their booked and the pair kissed…then jumped into bed with each other. And Hanna told Caleb that she had never stopped loving him, leading to a kiss between the pair.

Ali, meanwhile, continued to have strange visions. Next she dreamt that Det. Wilden was in bed with her (creepy!) and continued to see visions of her dead mother. She soon disappeared on Emily, who had just stepped out to vote. As it turns out, she had headed for the church where Charlotte was killed. We soon saw Ali shaking and crying inside the church, which is where Emily found her. “I deserve it, this is my punishment,” Ali said of the ghosts she believed were haunting her. She then headed to a psych hospital to freely commit herself, insisting that she needed help. While Emily suggested they wait until Elliott returned home, Ali believed she was doing the right thing.

Deep in the bowels of Radley, Toby dug out his tools and he and Spencer got to work to get into the secret room. But they were soon interrupted by Mona, who eventually went into the room with them. In there they found a file for a patient named Mary Drake, who was at Radley 25 years ago. She had a child named Charles who was adopted by Jessica and Kenneth DiLaurentis. So….Charlotte was adopted and she was basically the same age as Jensen. But who is Mary Drake? And did she go to such great lengths to hide this file?

Back at the Lost Woods Resort, Hanna texted Uber A and laid the trap. Uber A lured the others away from the cabin as Uber A took Hanna via a secret floor hole. As the Hastings celebrated Veronica’s election win, Spencer got word of Hanna’s disappearance. She grabbed Toby (while Mona followed) and they all gathered at the cabin. As they went through the security footage they spotted a long-haired woman on the screen (who looked like Mrs. D — to us and to them). And then Uber A texted the girls to say thanks for handing over Hanna and signed their text “A.D.” Soon after, we saw Hanna’s body getting dragged to the top of the church bell tower.

Then we got a crazy reveal: Mary Drake was Jessica DiLaurentis’ twin and Mary is definitely alive! She is also working with Elliott, who was apparently the only man Charlotte/Charles ever truly loved (and who now controls 51% of the Carissimi Group thanks to some papers Ali signed). He had befriended and married Alison, dressed up as Wilden and worked with Mary to convince Ali she was going crazy so that she would commit herself. Remember how Charlotte/Charles used to be named CeCe Drake? That makes more sense now, doesn’t it?

Talk about a twist! While you wait months for new episodes, check out Marlene King sharing four teasers for season 7.

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS will return with all new episodes this summer on Freeform.

Emily was nearly killed by someone that she believes isn’t Uber Bad in the most recent episode of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. Now there’s only two more episodes until the winter finale, but before that happens Caleb will be dealing with some collateral damage, Hanna avoids her personal life, the girls plan to fight back and Spencer and Toby will team up to to catch Sara.

Here’s what’s to come in the last three episodes of the winter season…

Episode 6.18 “Burn This” (March 1): “After the stalker nearly killed Emily, the Liars begin to take the threats more seriously and attempt to keep their mouths shut to prevent any further harm. Caleb must deal with the collateral damage of taking the blame for the leak about Yvonne; Spencer tries to comfort him and get him to tell the truth. Emily goes on a mission to track down who came after her. Aria and Ezra move forward with the novel. Meanwhile, Hanna avoids dealing with her personal life.”

Episode 6.19 “Did You Miss Me?” (March 8): “After Alison is confronted with a sudden, mysterious jeopardy, the Liars decide to take things into their own hands for a counterattack. Hanna and Caleb work together to develop a plan to come face-to-face with the tormentor. Emily and Spencer team up to investigate if Mona had any involvement with the murder. Aria and Ezra continue to work on the book though it might be more difficult than anticipated. Meanwhile, Ali encounters an unexpected visitor.”

Episode 6.20 “Hush, Hush, Sweets Liars” – Winter Finale (March 15): “With the stalker threatening to kill all of them if they don’t divulge Charlotte’s killer by the election, the PLLs and company, at wit’s end, must boldly fight back. As Spencer and Toby work together to catch Sara Harvey, Yvonne wonders where Toby’s true affections lie. Ezra finishes the last chapter of his book, finally ready to say goodbye to Nicole; Aria comforts him during this emotional time and old feelings bubble to the surface. While Caleb works intently on his plan to protect Hanna, they reflect on what could have been. Meanwhile, Alison experiences strange visions and starts to question her sanity; Emily keeps tabs on her to make sure she’s okay.”
