‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 5, episode 7 preview: Lucy Hale’s job in ‘The Silence of E. Lamb’

How are the ladies of “Pretty Little Liars” going to get some more answers about who Bethany Young was, or what she was up to in Radley? It’s courtesy of a method that they should know well already: Taking the issue on from the inside.

The difference between next week’s “The Silence of E. Lamb” and past episodes of the show is not only just the fact that we’ve got Aria in Radley rather than Spencer, and she will also be doing so as a volunteer rather than a patient. You can get a little more information about what she is up to courtesy of the attached synopsis:

“Aria begins her volunteer work at Radley and quickly gets down to business finding any answers she can about a patient of interest to the Liars. But she quickly hits a snag when she comes across an aggressive patient that may be the key to what the Liars are looking for. Also searching for answers, Spencer takes a note from Ezra’s play book by borrowing some of his spy equipment to keep a closer eye on the home front.

“Meanwhile, Hanna is caught at odds when Ali and Caleb butt heads, and Emily seeks help from her friends when her mom invites Ali over for dinner.”

Hopefully, we’ll continue to see some more dramatic stories play out here, but one thing that we have to say in criticism of ABC Family right now is this: They sure did screw up the tension of tonight’s episode by releasing this early. We knew that Ali was not going to end up running away, and will instead be once again trying to deal with issues and Rosewood.
