From the pilot to the grave: The evolution of “Pretty Little Liars”

Last night, I watched the Pretty Little Liars pilot episode for the first time since it aired all the way back in 2010. Not only did it sweep me up in a wave of delirious nostalgia, it also cracked my brain wide open with the foreshadowing of what was to come over the next three season. So as we enter the final three-episode arc of season 3B, I thought it’d be fun to look at the evolution of our favorite super sleuths.

(Obviously, Paige wasn’t in the pilot, but it felt weird leaving her out, knowing now that she was pining away for Emily in her khaki shorts and braids.)

By the way, before you cue the first episode up on Netflix, I have to warn you: Ali’s death scene mirrors Maya’s death scene in literally every way, so get ready to ugly cry like a Spencer Hastings if you plan to watch it.

What has been your favorite PLL character evolution so far?
