“There’s some self-medicating going on, sleeping with people you shouldn’t be sleeping with, lies,” King said.

The 100th episode is full of surprises. King revealed that it has been her favorite episode thus far, but that the rest of the season is as equally fulfilling.

“We’re gonna have some awesome finales this year, we’re gonna have an amazing Christmas episode,” King gushed. “It’s going to be a rich season.”

“It’s been really rocky between everyone,” Pieterse said. “It’s interesting to see who’s gonna fall apart, everyone has been cracking at different angles.”

Alison and the rest of the liars are having trouble trusting each other. Spencer and Alison are bumping heads. Complications and tensions are high between Aria, Alison, and Ezra. Alison heads back to school with all the peers that she used to bully.

“She’s a tornado now,” said Pieterese. “I think she’s just trying to keep everyone together while everyone else is losing their mind.”
