This 'PLL' Spoiler Could Be A Gamechanger

by Kaitlin Reilly

The majority of the drama that the Liars deal with ties back to A, so sometimes it's hard to remember that the Pretty Little Liars characters are 20-something women who also have to deal with all of the drama that being one entails. They are all growing up, and with growing up comes major decisions that they have to make regarding their future. But while the Liars are busy attempting to figure out Uber A's identity, there could be something else going on in one of the Liars' lives that will definitely distract them from all of the A-adjacent drama. A new spoiler suggests that one of the Liars will learn something about her future in the Season 7A finale "The DArkest Knight," and it's making me wonder — could one of the Liars be pregnant?

According to the official synopsis from Freeform for the episode, it's possible. Check out the part of the synopsis that hints at one of the Liars' futures:

The Liars face off with their enemies in a chaotic fight that ends fatally. One of the PLLs learns a secret about her past that changes everything while another Liar discovers something about her future that could alter her course forever.

A surprise pregnancy is the first thing that I thought of when I read this synopsis — short of a Liar learning she has an illness, pregnancy is one of the only things that would seemingly fit here. It would also make sense, given the fact that the Liars are now thinking about marriage and settling down in their careers; a Liar learning she's pregnant would definitely make her think about how she wants her future to play out. If there really is going to be a pregnancy in Season 7, however, the big question will be who will make that discovery. Who might be pregnant? Here's a rundown of all of the Liars and the likelihood they might learn some huge news:

1. Emily

Fans of Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars series might remember that Emily had a baby with her ex-boyfriend in one of the later books. In the books, Emily is romantically interested in both men and women, but this hasn't really come into play in the show at all. However, the fact that Emily is in a relationship with a woman doesn't totally rule out the possibility of a pregnancy-related storyline: in Season 6B, A steals the eggs Emily had intended to donate to a family. Could Uber A have sold the eggs against Emily's wishes? If so, perhaps the storyline will have to do with Emily discovering she has a biological child out there, rather than discovering she's pregnant herself.

2. Alison

Could Alison learn that she's pregnant with Dr. Rollins — er, Archer Dunhill's — baby? If so, the former Queen Bee will have a big decision to make. Alison has already been through the ringer, so learning that she's having a baby with a (now dead) man who tortured her and stole her money might be a lot for the show to pull off.

3. Aria

To say that Aria's relationship with Ezra is complicated would be an understatement. Aria gave Ezra her blessing to go and find out what happened to his maybe-not-dead girlfriend Nicole, which, should Nicole be found alive, could ruin their engagement completely. Discovering that her and Ezra were having a baby together would definitely complicate things, but what might complicate things more is if Ezra isn't the baby's father. A new promo for PLL episode "The Wrath Of Kahn" shows what appears to be Aria getting out of bed with Jason. Could this be a flashback, or could Aria be rebounding from her Ezra drama with Alison's brother?

4. Spencer

Spencer had a pregnancy scare back in college, which basically led to her and Toby's breakup. Could her relationship with Caleb lead to a pregnancy as well? There's no reason why it couldn't, though it might make things extremely difficult between her and Hanna should she and Caleb choose to keep a baby. I'm not sure if the show would go there.

5. Hanna

Hanna broke up with Jordan after escaping Uber A, but, if a Liar is pregnant, there's no telling how long they've been pregnant for. Could Hanna be having a baby with her ex? If so, it could really complicate things with Caleb should they decide to get back together. If Haleb does decide to be back on, they might have to contend with not only Spencer's feelings, but Jordan's as well.

Could a Liar really be making a very adult decision in the Season 7 finale? If so, it might be one of the few things that would distract them from finding Uber A.
