ABC Family has finally made a decision to extend its all-time number 1 series, the “Pretty Little Liars.” There will be an extra 24 episodes for the show starting in next summer, and allegedly, the primary cast in Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Troian Bellisario and Lucy Hale are all present.

This announcement came in several weeks before the airing of "This Is a Dark Ride," the special Halloween-themed episode. But before we go in that far, ABC had released a peek preview from the second part of Season 3 which returns on Jan. 8, 2013.

Aria seems to be disappointed at Garrett's account of her father being seen with Alison on the evening of Ali's death. She simply believes that he's full of it and cannot imagine Spencer believing him. The thing is that not one of them are asserting he's "A" or that he was aboard the train or something like that.

It really is not improbable that Alison had some sort of an affair with Byron and that she may have even slept with him. She knew about his affair with Meredith and she probably could have blackmailed him, too.

So Aria will certainly have a lot of issues to deal with. Too add more problems, Mona has returned to school! She has somehow been released from the hospital and has now begun to mingle back in to society. She's definitely not the real "A," but it is a good twist in the story to befriend her.
