‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 3 video: The pressure weighs down on Aria (video)

If there is one phrase that we could use to describe the winter premiere for “Pretty Little Liars” season 3, it would simply by “Aria Montgomery’s worse day ever.” First, she realizes that some of her friends are anxious about Byron possibly being aboard the train of death from the Halloween special; and now, she realizes that one of the last people she ever wants to see again in her life is her new teacher.

During the latest sneak peek clip below from the January 8 premiere “She’s Better Now,” Lucy Hale’s character walks into class and quickly realizes that Byron’s mistress Meredith will be running it. Remember some of the nasty things that she did to try and get the two apart? Well, you have to figure that this will come back to bite her in a pretty big way now.

Adding to all of this stress for Aria is also one key issue pertaining to her love life: she still hasn’t told Ezra that his ex did give birth to their child, largely out of fear of what could happen if she does. We do know that eventually this is going to become an issue later on in the season for the couple, especially when it starts to make Aria ask the question of just how she fits into Ezra’s life moving forward. Can a man with a kid really date a high-school student? The fact that there is another player in the mix, even one who never knew he existed beforehand, changes the game in a pretty dramatic way.

What do you want to see happen with Aria moving forward on “Pretty Little Liars” season 3? If you want to watch another sneak peek from the premiere largely about the return of Mona, you can do so over at the link here.
