‘Chapter One: Spirit Week,’ the series premiere, begins with a flashback to 1999. Teenager Angela Waters cries out for assistance while her pals ignore her during a rave party.

Later, Angela falls off the terrace of the warehouse and perishes. Her death was deemed to be a suicide. One of Angela’s friends, Davie, is dealing with her daughter Imogen’s adolescent pregnancy 22 years later.

Imogen is having a difficult time with Karen, the daughter of Sheriff Beasley, her former best friend. Imogen is accused of kissing Karen’s boyfriend at a party, and the two have a falling out.  

After arguing about it, the girls find out Davie killed herself. Imogen moved in with Sidney Haworthe and her daughter Tabitha “Tabby” Haworthe a few months after her mother passed away.

In addition to Imogen and Tabby, Karen also bullies Minnie “Mouse” Honrada, Faran Bryant, and Noa Olivar at school. The five girls resolve to take revenge on their bully after a series of occurrences accuse them of harming Karen.

At a forthcoming school dance, Imogen intends to compete against Karen for the title of Spirit Queen. In addition, the females intend to exact their retaliation using a humiliating film of Karen.

The newly formed teen girl group returns the tape to Imogen’s mother’s home in the second episode, “Chapter Two: The Spirit Queen.”

The girls play the film showing Karen cheating on her boyfriend, Greg, by flinging herself at Tyler at a screening set up by Tabby at her place of employment, The Orpheum, a movie theatre.

The humiliation sends Karen into a tailspin, and with the aid of her twin sister Kelly, she plots retaliation against the girls. Kelly admits to framing Imogen and Tabby while posing as Karen and removing her sister’s name from the Spirit Queen competition.

However, after Imogen is crowned Spirit Queen, the sisters have a covert scheme to humiliate her. But Karen is killed by the enigmatic “A” who also assaults her. 

Chapter Three: Aftermath Recap

The Little Liars (Imogen, Tabby, Noa, Faran, and Mouse) deal with the fallout from their activities that resulted in Karen’s murder in Episode 3, dubbed “Chapter Three: Aftermath.”

The girls’ mothers get involved and devise a strategy to spare their daughter from discipline. Sheriff Beasley, Karen’s father, however, plans to hold Imogen and Tabby accountable for killing his daughter. As a result, he allows Noa and the others to spy on the two girls.

Kelly, however, tells the police and the administrators at the school of Karen’s plan to harm Imogen. The girls receive two weeks of incarceration instead of a harsher penalty, clearing their names. 

The girls assemble by Karen’s grave to pay their respects in the last minutes of the third episode. But as they get ready to head back home, they are startled to notice “A” following them.

The brutal, mask-wearing assassin sits in his truck and silently observes the girls from a distance. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as The Little Liars freak out in the presence of the stalker. 

A could be attempting to send a message, even if it is unlikely that they are there to hurt the females. The inexplicable death of Angela Waters many years ago appears to be connected to the figure.

They were also at the warehouse when Imogen was looking around. It follows that A’s enigmatic motivation for choosing to target the girls is more than the group’s feud with Karen. 

A is probably seeking revenge for Angela’s passing in their own sick way. The mysterious figure, therefore, targets the girls connected to the case through their mothers.

Imogen, Tabby, Noa, Faran, and Mouse are all concealing their own dark secrets, though. As the girls get ready for the next stage of their plan, A’s primary objective is tormenting and torturing them. 

The females are probably not safe just yet, and as A’s perverse game progresses, they might find it difficult to face their own errors. Therefore, it will be intriguing to see if A reaches the girls first or if they identify the murderer and discover their true motivations.

As a result, the finale of the third episode sets up an intriguing cat and mouse game between the cunning Little Liars and their new adversary, A. We’ll have to wait and see how Karen’s passing fits into A’s grand scheme. But it seems unlikely that the case will be resolved anytime soon.
