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 5.
Aria’s love life
Ezria wasn’t in the best place in the back half of Pretty Little Liars season 4 since Aria found out that their relationship began as a way for Ezra to get information for his true crime novel. That being said, watching someone get shot tends to put things in perspective, so Aria only cares about Ezra’s recovery at the beginning of Pretty Little Liars season 5.
Even though she’s desperate for him to be okay, she’s still not fully ready to forgive him. After the shooting, though, they start talking again and he helps her get through her guilt over killing Shana. They finally kiss again after Ezra shows her his scar from Shana’s gunshot. She’s hesitant to jump back into things, but in the end, these crazy kids just can’t stay apart.
Things are great with Ezria until Aria gets rejected from every college, including her safety school, Talmadge. Ezra tells her that the reason she got rejected is because his ex, Jackie, works in admissions there. As a last ditch effort, Aria writes a brutal account of how she squandered her high school years by dating an older man. She doesn’t fully mean it, but she does begin to realize that she missed out on a lot.
She eventually gets into Talmadge, but A starts threatening her with the letter, saying they’ll show it to Ezra. Aria proactively shows Ezra herself, and he commends her tenacity. However, after digesting the contents of the letter, he tells Aria that he doesn’t want her to resent him, and they agree that she should enter college as a single woman. They break up but agree that they’ll find a way to stay in each other’s lives.
Aria starts hanging out with Andrew after he catches her copying off of his test. He starts tutoring her, and they kiss after A makes Mike’s weight bench collapse, causing Aria to fall. He’s suddenly always around when the Liars need someone, but he also shows up in some suspicious scenarios, and is oddly clingy. The two are still seeing each other at the end of the season, but Andrew is seen as a sketchy character.
Emily’s love life
Emily and Paige are separated at the beginning of Pretty Little Liars season 5, but they start hanging out again when Emily helps Sydney train. Paige warns Emily to keep her distance if Alison comes back to school, because people are “preparing.” Not wanting there to be animosity between her two friends, Emily brings Paige and Ali together. Alison apologizes, but not much ever comes of it.
Alison and Emily start spending a lot of time together, and Alison admits to Emily that their kisses weren’t just “for practice.” They kiss again during a sleepover, one night! Soon after that, Mona shows everyone the video that she doctored from the mausoleum, and Emily gets upset with Alison. They have another sleepover, but Emily just stays up all night watching Ali sleep. After Alison IDs Cyrus, seemingly forcing them all into one of A’s traps, Emily says she’s done with her for good.
Paige and Emily get back together soon after this, and things are going great, until Paige’s parents force her to move to California. Adorably, Emily meets Paige at her gate when she’s leaving and asks her to stay, but Paige says she’s tired of the Rosewood drama and wants a fresh start.
When Emily can’t handle catering for the opening of the Brew, Ezra hires a professional chef to help out. Emily is initially annoyed at Thalia, since she stole her job, but they start bonding when Emily realizes that Thalia is actually kind and helpful. Thalia soon expresses interest in Emily, and they start hanging out.
Unfortunately, Emily soon finds out that Thalia’s actually married. She tells Emily that she married her high school best friend and that they have an understanding about this sort of thing. However, when Emily meets her husband, his story doesn’t quite match. Emily gets upset, but it soon becomes irrelevant because Thalia and her husband separate.
Hanna’s love life
Hanna is dating Travis at the beginning of Pretty Little Liars season 5, but that all goes out the window as soon as Caleb comes back to town. They immediately fall back into their perfect Haleb love, but things actually get pretty dark for a while.
With Caleb so messed up from Ravenswood and Hanna dealing with the return of Alison, they start drinking heavily and forsaking their responsibilities. Together, with a little prodding from Spencer, they figure it out and get themselves back on track.
Spencer’s love life
Toby is a full member of the fabulous Rosewood PD in Pretty Little Liars season 5. You’d think that’d be helpful to the Liars’ cause, but it actually causes a lot of fights between Toby and Spencer. When Spencer steals the knife that Toby found, he tells her that she can no longer tell him everything, which drives a wedge between them.
Spencer meets Johnny when he moves into the Hastings’ loft. He’s an artist, working at the Brew, and they have some fun times vandalizing public property together. She kisses him after one such act of vandalism. She also kisses Wren and Melissa’s roommate when she’s in London!
At the end of the season, Toby tells her that he’ll always choose her over his work and Spoby is back on.
