‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 4 spoilers: The worlds of Jake, Aria, and Ezra collide

For those of you waiting for that big Jake-and-Ezra scene on “Pretty Little Liars” season 4, know this: It’s coming. Marlene King did not just insert that scene featuring Malcolm in this past episode for no reason at all; instead, she seems to have a plan for bringing these two characters together at some point, and given the way in which Ian Harding and Lucy Hale’s characters broke up, it is going to be interesting with a capital “I.”

Want some more details on what you can expect? Then just look below, as actor Ryan Guzman, who had the incredible challenge of playing Aria’s karate-teacher beau that could send a tidal wave of Ezria fans his way, had to say in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter:

“As he’s finding more and more about what Aria and all her friends are going through, he wants to become more available to help her. Him being a martial arts instructor, he feels confidence in being able to protect this girl who came into his life. The situation that everyone’s waiting to see is what happens when Jake and Ezra bump into each other and how that’s going to happen — if Aria’s there and whatnot. There are huge situations between Jake and Ezra coming up.”

The one thing that we personally feel makes this entire situation a little bit more interesting is that we are not looking at someone here in Jake who is a bad guy by any means, but instead he’s someone who wants to help Aria and be there for her in every way that he can be. These two genuinely have an opportunity to be happy, but it all comes down to three things: Whether he is who he says he is, whether Aria can really get over Ezra, and whether she can be honest with him about “A”.
