‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 4, episode 20 preview: Lucy Hale, Ian Harding, and ‘Free Fall’

Now that the dust has settled on the “Pretty Little Liars” noir episode, we can really start to focus on what the journey will be the rest of the way. Namely, we can cast our attention on something that we know many people are hoping to get answers about: Whether or not Aria is finally going to learn the truth about her boyfriend Ezra. Most of the “revelations” that happened tonight came mostly out of Spencer’s head, and the only real plot point worth remembering is that Ezra likely has figured out that the other Liars are on to him.

Next week’s episode is entitled “Free Fall,” and that’s not the sort of title that you traditionally want to hear when you have a character on the cusp of being devastated. The mission for the Liars to tell Lucy Hale’s character the truth is going to ramp up, but there are going to be so many more issues at play here. Spencer has her own demons that can be used against her, and Aria has come to trust the teacher.

Take a look now at the full synopsis to get some more details:

“Spencer is determined that it is finally time to tell Aria about what she has found out about Ezra, but Emily and Hanna are worried about what it could do to their friend. A wrench is thrown into the plan when Ezra tells Aria about his concern and suspicion of Spencer’s recent addiction problem. Now with Spencer’s credibility being questioned, can the girls trust what Spencer has been telling them about Ezra — could this all be a figment of Spencer’s tired brain or really just a clever ploy by Ezra to cover his tracks?”

The promo below is a little more definitive about what is coming up; namely, it makes it clear that “Free Fall” is going to be the episode that features the big reveal that Ezra is “A.” As you would think, Aria is completely and utterly destroyed.
