Who do you think will be the final casualty of Pretty Little Liars season 7A?
Things have been heating up in Rosewood all summer, and everything will come to a head in the summer finale. With all of the returning characters, romantic shifts, and A.D. craziness that we’ve seen so far in season 7, this finale has a lot to deliver.
Hopefully we’ll actually get some answers to the questions they’ve been piling on us, but one thing we already know that we’ll see is a death! The synopsis for Pretty Little Liars season 7, episode 10, “The Darkest Knight,” teases “a chaotic fight that ends fatally.” It’s time to call Pastor Ted and tell him to get ready for yet another funeral, but who’s will it be?
Will Pretty Little Liars use what will probably be its last summer finale to actually kill off one of the Liars? Will we lose another fan favorite character, like one of their love interests? Or, will they simply bury another villainous supporting character in the Rosewood cemetery?
We’ll outline some of the possibilities, but we want you to tell us who you think we’ll be saying goodbye to! Lock your predictions in using the poll below, and the comments.
One of the Liars
If they were ever going to kill one of the Liars, now would be the perfect time to do it. It’s been said over and over again that Pretty Little Liars season 7 will be the end of the show “as we know it,” so dead or alive, these girls have very few episodes left in them! The death of one of the Liars could be the perfect fuel for the rest of the girls to finally take down A.D. in the back half of season 7, and we wouldn’t have to miss one of our favorites for too long.
One of the biggest complaints from fans about the Cece reveal was that it was too predictable, and too safe. Many Pretty Little Liars fans were hoping that one of the Liars was pulling the strings, which would’ve made for a much more dramatic reveal. Since there is still a huge A/Uber A/A.D. presence on the show, that’s definitely still a possibility. However, the death of one of the Liars could shake up the show just as much, without ruining the integrity of any of the characters.

If one of the Liars is actually A, we’ll have to question everything we’ve ever seen on Pretty Little Liars! Every scene would take on a whole new meaning. Of course, that would be cool, but it would also completely change the show that we’ve loved for so long. If one of the Liars is killed, it could be just as dramatic without tarnishing one of our most beloved characters.
All of that being said, they probably won’t kill one of the Liars. At least, not yet. The team just wouldn’t function the same if one member was missing. Also, if one of them were to die, it could derail the others way too much, and set them onto an even darker path moving towards the end of the series. At the end of the day, we’d probably all prefer to keep our group of Liars intact, but you can’t deny that a Liar death would make for an epic summer finale!
One of their love interests
The trailer for Pretty Little Liars season 7, episode 10, which you can watch at the bottom of this article, teases some big moments for the original ships. It looks like we’ll see a Haleb reunion, a Spoby kiss, and even Emison cuddles! While this seems like good news, it could actually indicate trouble for some of the Liars’ loves.

The Pretty Little Liars creator, Marlene King, told EW that “there are three sets of shippers that will be very happy with this finale.” Presumably, she’s talking about shippers of the original four couples (Emison, Ezria, Haleb, and Spoby), so what about the fourth?
From the trailer, we could assume that Ezria shippers will be the ones left out in the cold (they’ve had enough to squeal about lately), but we wouldn’t be too sure about that. Emily and Alison are probably safe, since both parties fall into the category above, but we’re definitely worried for Caleb and Toby.
We’ve barely even had time to miss Toby yet, since he’s only been gone for two episodes, but we’ve definitely had time to miss Spoby. The rekindling of that romance was beginning to feel like an impossibility until we saw the Pretty Little Liars summer finale trailer!

Unlike the presumed doomed Spoby, Haleb has been gearing up for a reunion for a while. However, many fans are still working through their feelings towards Caleb, since the Spencer/Hanna love triangle did a lot of damage to his character.
Killing either Caleb or Toby would serve two functions. First of all, it would be an easy way out of a messy situation. It would be tough for Hanna and Caleb to navigate a new relationship when Spencer’s tears haven’t even fully dried, and it would be difficult for Toby to abruptly leave Yvonne after recently moving to Maine with her.
Also, both deaths would be devastating if they directly followed a Haleb or Spoby reunion. Fans of these ships have been waiting for them to sail for so long now. Killing the possibility of one of them forever would result in the most intense finale possible. We could definitely be losing one of our favorite ships in the season 7A finale, so get your tissues ready, just in case.
One of their enemies
This is probably the most likely option, though it’s the least dramatically satisfying. Pretty Little Liars villains get killed all the time, so the death of yet another one wouldn’t be anything to get too excited over.
Of course, it is helpful that most of the villains in play right now are characters who we’ve known since Pretty Little Liars season 1. We still don’t fully know what Noel Kahn and Jenna Marshall are up to, so one of their deaths could carry more weight than we think.
Another possibility is Mary Drake, but she still has so much story to tell! If it is one of the villains, or potential villains, that dies, hopefully their death brings some answers with it. The death of any of these characters could result in their full story being told. Or, in typical Pretty Little Liars fashion, we could still be left completely in the dark.
