'Pretty Little Liars' season premiere recap

After a shocking season 6 finale of Pretty Little Liars, fans of the show watched in anticipation to find out if Hannah is alive in the season 7 premiere on June 21.

The episode opened with Spencer, Emily and Aria burying someone or something in the woods, all crying, leaving fans anxious to find out what happened.

After the famous opening credit montage, the screen flashes with “4 days earlier” as Toby, Mona, Caleb, Ezra, Spencer, Emily and Aria set out to find Hannah.

Standing outside the police station, the group of friends watcheS Mary Drake, Charlotte’s biological mother and Jessica DiLaurentis’ twin sister walk in. Toby goes in and asks about why she is in the station. She said she bought the Lost Woods Resort and is reporting a break in. (The group broke in the season 6 finale not knowing anyone had bought the resort.)

As Toby is relaying the information to the group outside, they receive a text from AD saying “A lie for a lie, an eye for an eye, the bell tolls for Hanna - AD.” The bell tower rings and they run to the tower where they find who looks to be Hanna strapped in ropes. Caleb notices it’s not really Hanna, just a life-size doll who has a synthetic face identical to Hanna’s. The doll says the Pretty Little Liar group has 24 hours to find Charlotte’s real killer.

As the group tries to figure out who killed her, Hanna is alive and locked in a room begging to get out. The group writes down who they think killed Charlotte and most think it is Alison. They agree to all work together and look for Alison's coat she wore the night Charlotte died to see if it would have her blood on it.

Toby, Spencer, Caleb and Mona go to the Lost Woods Resort where they see Mary unpacking. Toby and Spencer sneak into one of the cabins and find French and German books.

Without knowing Elliot was Charlotte's love and a part of the new A team, Emily goes to Elliot to get answers. Elliot tells her Allison had a psychotic break. Elliot has to rush to Allison’s side in the hospital where Emily sees her try to get free from her restraints before Elliot injects her with a sedative.

With 18 hours left, Aria and Ezra search Allison’s house and hear Elliot opening the door. The two hide in the closet and hold hands together in hopes that they won’t get caught. Through the closet, they see him grab a backpack. He walks into another room and gets a suitcase that contains sharp knives and medical supplies. Just as he walks back into the room and opens the closet, Aria and Ezra are gone and hiding outside.

Spencer calls Caleb to talk to him but he is too worried about Hanna to really listen to her. Caleb and Mona follow Mary where they see she got supplies to cover up a murder. They follow her to Spencer’s house where Mary knocks on the door and Spencer invites her in for tea. Spencer tries to ask Mary about who she is. Mary says her and Jessica did not get along and  that Jessica turned everyone away from her. She said she came back because she found out Jessica was dead and said Spencer is lucky to  be friends with her ex-boyfriend because Mary is not friends with her ex’s.

Still at the hospital, Emily tries to visit with Alison but she is asleep. Emily begs her to wake up and tells her Hannah is in trouble. As soon as she asks Allison if she killed her, she wakes up suddenly and asks for forgiveness. Emily believes she just confessed to the murder.

Later, Ezra offers Aria a shirt to sleep in at his house. She says she wants to go home to think about things, including cheating on Liam last season with Ezra. Emily asks Aria for the key back and Emily confides in her friend at the coffee shop.

Outside Mary’s house, Caleb and Mona track who Mary is talking to on the phone. Spencer tells Aria to go to the bar where this mysterious man is calling from. While at the bar that Caleb tracked, Aria waits to see if she will find the man. Liam calls her but she doesn’t answer. Aria comes back to Ezra and says she just wants to be with him for the night.

Hanna has a dream that Spencer comes to find her. Hanna says it’s maybe a good thing they don't know who killed Charlotte because Hanna would tell her captor immediately. Spencer tells her if there is a way in, there is a way out.

Emily heads to Allison’s house late at night and sees Elliot asleep on the couch. She goes to Allison’s old room to look for anything that could help. She reminisces on past memories of Pretty Little Liars and finds a box of Goodwill clothes finds the red coat she wore the night Charlotte was killed.

With 38 minutes left to find the killer, the group gathers together to find a way to get Hanna back. Caleb drives to the Lost Woods resort and texts AD to tell them it was Alison and that the red coat is evidence and is on the front lawn. Hanna escapes and runs through the woods and runs to a car for help. The car drives to Hannah and reveals it is Mary.

Now that the group has accused Allison of murder, the episode ended with Elliot visiting Allison. He gives her a syringe full of something unknown while also telling her he knows she killed Charlotte.

Look out for next week’s recap and watch Pretty Little Liars Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Freeform.
