The girls take matters into their own hands and try to put a stop to “A” in “Can You Hear Me Now?,” an all-new episode of ABC Family’s original series, “Pretty Little Liars,” premiering Tuesday, June 29th (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT).
Tired of being harassed by “A,” the girls decide to put a stop to the anonymous emails and text messages by blocking all unknown users.
But even with the mysterious ghost no longer looming over their heads, the girls’ problems are far from over.
With a surprise visit by a father, a surprise gift from a prospective paramour, getting some unwanted advice and an undeserved scholarly accolade, the girls’ lives continue to get more complicated by the day. And after dealing with all of that, did the Pretty Little Liars really think they could keep “A” away forever?
