‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 6 spoilers: Lucas returns in ‘The Gloves Are Off’

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a chance to see Lucas grace the world of “Pretty Little Liars,” and that’s why we are rather thrilled to see that he is coming back for the upcoming January 26 episode! Now, it just remains to be seen whether or not he is someone who will be actually working alongside the Liars or covertly against him. We never quite understood what all of his motives were back in high school, and as a result of that we find his return in “The Gloves Are Off” to be a mystery in itself.

ABC Family / soon to be Freeform just released the first details about this episode, and you can see all of them below:

“Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer find themselves back in familiar territory with the Rosewood P.D. knocking at their doors looking for answers and their actions now affecting the loved ones around them. With her mother’s job on the line, Hanna tries to come up with an alibi that could save all four of them with the help of her old high school friend, Lucas.

“Meanwhile, Emily comes clean about the last five years, and Aria goes the extra mile to keep Ezra’s second book in play with her boss.”

In other news, not that much has really changed for the Liars over the course of five years! They’re still finding a way to keep things quiet and keep the police at bay, which is something that you would really think that they would have found a better away around by now. Then again, if they had, would they really be at the center of a show that was anywhere near as dramatic? It’s hard to say.
