Will Bradley

It's that time of year when senior high school students focus on their future college careers and feel the intense pressures that come along with it, and Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer are no different. Aria's acceptance to college is contingent on her grades, so she needs to buckle down to improve them, and looks to Andrew (recurring guest star BRANDON W. JONES – The Fosters) for some tutoring help. Also having anxiety about her college acceptance, Spencer decides to take a break and help Jonny (recurring guest star WILL BRADLEY) with a new project. Hanna is doing just fine on her college acceptances, but when she finds out that she has been turned down for financial aid, she turns to her dad to help. Meanwhile, Aria and the girls try to keep tabs on Mike (recurring guest star CODY ALLEN CHRISTIAN) after their concerns increase following an incident at the school blood drive.

Toby's (recurring guest star Keegan Allen) new position in the Rosewood police department was to give the PLLs an upper hand on finally closing the door to Ali/"A's" game. But when a surprising bit of evidence appears, Toby is put in a difficult position with his job and with Spencer. Not one to trust the police or evidence "surprisingly" showing up, Spencer tries to convince Toby to stray from his moral gut reaction, which puts stress on their relationship. Meanwhile, Emily and Aria take drastic measures to keep control of situations that are out of their hands and could affect their future.

Determined to get college tuition money without the help of others, Hanna pushes forward with her quest to win the local beauty pageant and hires a pageant coach to ensure her win. Quickly learning that you have to be more than a pretty face to win the grand prize, Hanna turns to Emily for help. Also needing a little help, Aria asks Andrew (recurring guest star Brandon W. Jones) to help keep tabs on Mike (recurring guest star Cody Allen Christian), whose increasingly suspicious behavior suggests a chilling connection to Mona's death. What Aria ultimately discovers makes her blood run cold. Meanwhile, Spencer decides to help Jonny (recurring guest star Will Bradley) on a less than legal adventure.

Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer have been burned before by newcomers to Rosewood, so it's no surprise they are wary when someone new crosses their path. Spencer lets down her guard a bit as she spends more time with Jonny (recurring guest star WILL BRADLEY), and Emily continues to try and figure out Talia (recurring guest star MIRANDA RAE MAYO) as she keeps getting mixed signals from her co-workers. When Mona's friend Lesli (recurring guest star ELIZABETH McLAUGHLIN – The Clique) shows up in town, Hanna is tasked with finding out her back story to determine if Lesli is really who she says she is. Are the girls wise to keep an eye on everyone, or can they allow a bit of comfort room without worrying about an "A" trap? Meanwhile, Aria becomes concerned about Mike's (recurring guest star CODY ALLEN CHRISTIAN) recent behavior and Holbrook (recurring guest star SEAN FARIS) returns to town.

Secrets are hard to keep, especially when you are keeping them from a loved one. Spencer searches for Mona's missing laptop with Caleb's help, but where the search leads them could cross the "Toby approved" line. Aria tries to get up the courage to come clean to Ezra about her lie when she gets diverted by a possible goose chase. And Hanna is stuck in the middle having to cover Ashley's secret when Pastor Ted (recurring guest star Ed Kerr) returns with big news. Meanwhile, Emily has to put up with Talia's (recurring guest star Miranda Rae Mayo – The Game) annoying suggestions at work, as she struggles to come to terms with the end of her relationship with Paige (recurring guest star Lindsey Shaw).
