As the penultimate summer episode of the addictive "Pretty Little Liars" airs tonight on ABC Family, the four "liars" (Hanna, Emily, Aria and Spencer) finally break and tell someone about the tormenting they've endured at the hands of the mysterious and seemingly omnipresent "A" since the series pilot. However, as is typical of the twist-and-turn-filled drama, things don't go as planned and the stakes get higher and higher until next week's mid-season finale.

Our Jim Halterman ventured to the fictional town of Rosewood (on the Warner Brothers lot) yesterday and grabbed a few minutes with Lucy Hale (Aria), Ashley Benson (Hanna), Troian Bellisario (Spencer), Shay Mitchell (Emily) and Ian Harding (Ezra). The cast members managed to tease as much as they could about the upcoming finale, who they suspect "A" to truly be and details on the special Halloween episode airing October 19, which will not only kick off the network's "13 Days to Halloween" event but also serve as a prequel episode that will show what life was like before Allison disappeared in the pilot as well as provide some clues as to what will come when Season 2 picks up again in January 2012.
