Love and friendship
All of the Liars have had more than their share of kisses, over the years, but let’s look back at some of their best ones from Pretty Little Liars season 4.
Aria’s love life
Since Aria and Ezra aren’t together at the beginning of Pretty Little Liars season 4, he takes a permanent job at Rosewood High. She’s not thrilled about having to see him everyday, but things get easier when she starts dating her adorable karate instructor, Jake.
While Aria’s getting cozy with Jake, Ezra’s having some serious drama with Maggie and Malcolm. Maggie wants to move to Seattle for school, and it turns out Ezra doesn’t actually have any parental rights because, well, he’s not actually Malcolm’s father! Maggie had an affair while they were dating. Ezra still wants to stay in Malcolm’s life, but it just doesn’t work out.
When Ezra is desperate to talk to Aria about his problems, they start bonding again and secretly get back together. That is, until the whole “true crime novel” fiasco hits. Aria realizes that the whole beginning of their relationship was basically a sham, since Ezra always knew who she was. He claims that he really fell in love with her, though, and he kind of proves it when he takes a bullet for her at the end of the season!
Emily’s love life
Paige and Emily start off the season by planning to go to Stanford together, after high school. Things are looking great, until Emily gets an injury that will keep her out of the pool for a while, causing her to lose her chances at a scholarship.
Despite this, they manage to stay strong until Emily tells Paige about Ali. When Paige goes to the police with the secret, both because she cares about Emily and because she doesn’t care about Alison, Emily says that she can never trust her again.
Hanna’s love life
After A messed things up for Caleb and his father at the end of Pretty Little Liars season 3, he spends the beginning of season 4 reconciling with him. When he returns, he dives head first into all of the Marin family drama. Since Ashley was sporting an orange jumpsuit, at the time, there was a lot of it.
Despite all the drama, Haleb is good. Then, Ravenswood happens. Because Tyler Blackburn got his own spinoff Hanna tells him to stay there and help Miranda, he leaves town. When he comes back, Hanna accuses him of cheating on her and they break up.
When Travis steps in to help Ashley, Hanna develops feelings for him. They go on a couple dates, but she’s so distracted by everything happening with A and Alison that it doesn’t go that well. She even ends up kissing Holbrook, she’s so messed up!
Spencer’s love life
Toby and Spencer go on quite the journey regarding Toby’s mother in Pretty Little Liars season 4. Toby steals A’s lair at the beginning of the season, because A promises him information, and they deliver. Spencer’s upset that she’s lying to her friends, but she knows it’s important. He keeps getting clues, but eventually, Spencer thinks it’s wrong that he’s trusting A. A eventually gets him into trouble, too, when they set him up to make it look like he’s stealing a car.
He finds out that his mom didn’t commit suicide, and that a big pharmaceutical company is paying people off to say that, to protect Radley. Peter Hastings initially wants to help Toby take Radley down, but eventually changes his mind due to Mrs. D’s influence. Toby takes a settlement, saying that he’s happy knowing that his mom didn’t choose to leave him.
The two go through a rocky patch when Spencer relapses into her addiction, but they’re ultimately strong at the end of the season.
