The reveal that Principal Clanton is behind A is maybe the most shocking part of the finale. It isn’t even that surprising that Tom Beasley is involved since the series sets him up to be a villain as early as Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 1, “Spirit Week.” They want to add something richer to the plot revealing that Angela had a sibling but the result only kills time to get to the final reveal. The insidious nature of her attempts to erase Angela are terrifying and depicted through a truly cruel lens, but all the attempts to go beyond that fail.Įven when the girls try to find answers in the Waters house nothing is really added to the story.
We’ve seen how things played out on the surface and the only new information is Davy’s. The context that the finale tries to add to the plot doesn’t really work. It doesn’t add anything to what we know but it leaves the mothers and daughters on the same page for once. The moms each finally confess and add context to the flashbacks we’ve been seeing. The final three episodes do a good job of answering our burning questions about Angela Waters and what happened to her. This growth feels like a natural progression and I mostly just hope that we can see the ballet in a future episode. I think her character development is handled really well as she tries to come into her own within a rigid system like ballet with the parental pressure from her mom. Zaria Simone’s performance as Faran has been outstanding this season.

While I am glad that they’re alive and well in Rosewood that detail served as little more than an Easter egg for fans. When Pretty Little Liars ended by teasing that they still weren’t sure that Ezra and Aria would make it down the aisle on Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 13, “Til DeAth Do Us PArt,” I just felt so done with the will they or won’t they of their relationship. Imogen’s announcement that Ezra and Aria from Pretty Little Liars were going to adopt her baby on the other hand was a detail that the story could have done without.
It brought together all of Imogen’s flashbacks and expanded on them in such a way that we got to see her mother as a teenager and her mom.
The final chase scene between A and Imogen where Imogen stabs A feels like the triumphant moment they needed to close out the story. Given the way the timeline was originally positioned I figured the baby would be born in December and as the season hurtled towards the end of the semester it seemed more and more likely. The conclusion of Imogen’s pregnancy and the birth of her child also felt like a natural conclusion to the season. While it’s clear that Chip’s arrest and the decision to press charges brings a little bit of closure to the storyline at the end, it’s not going to make everything that Tabitha processed go away. It’s the absolute least that Tabitha deserves. Given that Tabitha is working so hard to create these pieces and putting so much critical thought behind them, I want to see her take on the Psycho shower scene and what her short film ends up becoming. Tabitha’s fight to get her short film made with a story only she could tell is compelling, but it doesn’t have any payoff. Plus, the way that the story continues to make references to scenes in horror movies that remove a female character’s agency is an interesting parallel, and I am glad they were able to get there without any shoe-horned references. Imogen and Tabitha’s assault has been one of the pillars of the last half of the season and has been handled well overall. As a result, the events make very little sense and eventually come to a conclusion where we ultimately say, “that’s it?”įirst, let’s talk about the sexual assault storyline. While the pacing of these final three episodes keeps the intrigue going at a breakneck speed, it feels like the show gets to its last act only to realize how many things they needed to tie up. The final three episodes of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 make just as little sense as the rest of the season.
