star Lucy Hale discusses what's next in season 3 'Pretty Little Liars'

'Pretty Little Liars' are back for more
fter an excruciating hiatus, “Pretty Little Liars” is back … and so is Mona. But we already knew that.
And now the PLLs do too, thanks to Lucas, another person on our
shortlong list of
suspectsAs.
But first, a quick recap:
When the first half of season 3 came to a close in August, Emily had just killed Nate, Maya’s
cousinstalker (in self defense), and Caleb was shot – though he seems to have recovered quite nicely. We also spotted Toby in the dreaded black hoodie, which obviously means he’s a member of the A Team. (Sorry, Spencer.)
Then, in October, on the annual Halloween episode, we watched – in horror – as Aria was locked in a wooden crate along with Garrett’s dead body. (Raise your hand if you think Fitz did it … or just post a comment below.)
Back in present day – a.k.a. Tuesday night’s mid-season premiere:
Lucas spilled the beans to Hanna that Mona has been sneaking out of the institution for quite some time. He also said he injured his leg in a skateboarding accident, which is relevant because, at the start of the episode, we saw Toby run a skateboarder off the road with a SUV.
Meanwhile, Aria’s dad’s former mistress got a job teaching Aria’s class; Hanna’s grandmother is staying with her in Rosewood; and Emily’s dad installed a new security system to keep her safe.
Mona’s first day back at school was going fine until she found a cow brain in her locker, jabbed with a knife. A note read, “Takes one mad cow to know another.”
Later, the girls saw Mona talking to the janitor, who they identified as the innkeeper at the Lost Woods Resort – the place where the girls found A's lair earlier in the series.
When they broke into the janitor’s office, they saw Ali’s diary among other items from the lair (creepy baby masks, etc).
The diary contains an entry about Aria’s dad. Apparently he paid Alison to keep quiet about his affair with Meredith, who was his student at the time. Almost simultaneously, a fire starts in a shed outside the school, injuring Meredith.
Turns out she got a note telling her to visit the shed. It might have been Mona who wrote it, but Byron blames his daughter and her friends.
We assume Aria didn’t have anything to do with the fire, but who could blame her if she did?
And then, we got proof that Mona and Jason are in cahoots: she helped him cover a wound that may or may not have been a result of the fire.
The episode ended with one of the As loosening a tire on somebody’s bicycle. Did you get a good look at the cyclist’s face? Is he a random bystander or A's new victim?
What did you think of the mid-season premiere?

Elvis Presley’s birthday in Memphis

Elvis Presley’s birthday remembered in Memphis with ceremony, cake-cutting, exhibit opening MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Eatched as 13-year-old Isabella Scott cut a birthday cake on the lawn at Graceland, the singer’s longtilvis Presley fans from as far as Japan and Brazil gathered Tuesday in Memphis to sing “Happy Birthday” to the late rock ‘n’ roll icon on the day he would have turned 78.

The mayors of Memphis and Shelby County also read a proclamation of Elvis Presley Day during the ceremony, which was attended by fans from Brazil, England, France, Japan, Spain and the U.S.
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on Jan. 8, 1935, and moved to Memphis with his parents at age 13. He was 42 when he died Aug. 16, 1977.
Presley recorded his first song “That’s All Right” at Sun Studio in Memphis in 1954 and made the West Tennessee city his primary home until his death.
“Like coffee and cream, grits and gravy, peanut butter and bananas ... Memphis and Elvis is a combination that was just meant to be,” Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. told the crowd.
Fans have been celebrating since Saturday, when The Memphis Symphony Orchestra presented a concert commemorating the 40th anniversary of Elvis’ landmark “Aloha from Hawaii” show.
A new exhibit about Presley’s movies and concerts in Hawaii opened Tuesday at the Graceland tourist attraction, which is across the street from the mansion.
