A crucial swim meet for the Rosewood Sharks is the setting where Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer experience a lot of turmoil.

The girls try to resume a sense of normalcy in their lives, but even the simple tasks of dating and extra-circular activities meet with strife. Emily must deal with a jealous teammate who is threatened by Emily’s return to the pool, as Aria and Ezra plan their first date out in the open. And Hanna is still stuck playing “A’s” game, but the next hurdle might just have complications for another Liar. With “A” pulling the strings and making matters worse, will the girls be able to weather the storm and lie their way out of it, or will they have to face the ugly truths? Meanwhile, Spencer turns to Ali’s brother, Jason, for information about the night they believe Alison died, only to have to face part of her unpleasant past with Ali.

After a shocking revelation from the police, the spotlight is turned on four little liars who look to be crying wolf.

Everyone has a secret in Rosewood and it's only a matter of time before it is revealed. Four girls know this to be especially true and are reminded of it on a daily basis. As the police turn up the heat and make Spencer an official "person of interest," maybe the girls should take a closer look at those around them. The boy one has given her heart to may have ulterior motives; the girl they have wronged may not be as innocent as they think; and the person another likes may make a rash decision that cuts to the bone. All are things that the girls should take into account ... before "A" does. Meanwhile, Ella and Byron try to decide what the latest development in their relationship means for them and their family.

Rosewood's Founders Festival sets the stage for more secrets. Everyone has something to hide - whether it is a secret romance, or revealing a true identity and true intentions. For Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer, keeping things hidden is second nature, but having to live with those secrets can become a big burden. How long can Aria be with someone when they can't go out in public? Is it a true friendship when Spencer and Toby aren't able to be seen together? How truthful can Emily be when she can't be honest about whom she wants to be with? And how can Hanna move on when secretly she wants to be with the one who broke her heart? With someone like "A" out there to watch their every move, the four girls may not have to worry about keeping things hidden for too much longer.
