Complete story — includes the ending

After five years at a correctional hospital, a hearing is scheduled to decide whether Charlotte will be released. The liars put their new lives on hold and return to Rosewood. Spencer is a lobbyist in Washington D.C. Her relationship with Toby ended when their lives fell out of sync. Veronica is running for State Senate, and Toby is building a house. Aria works for the publishing company that released Ezra Fitz’s first novel. While they’re expecting a sequel, a recent tragedy has killed Ezra’s motivation. Hanna is an assistant to a fashion designer in New York. She and her fiancé, Jordan, enjoy a lavish lifestyle. Hanna and Caleb are on friendly terms, but her career seems to be a sore subject. Caleb is staying in the Hastings’ barn while he’s in town. Ashley has remodeled Radley Sanitarium into a hotel. Emily avoids talking about her life, having struggled to regain her footing after her father passed away. She covertly takes unspecified medications. Alison teaches English at Rosewood High. She and Dr. Rollins have been supporting Charlotte’s treatment and rehabilitation. The girls meet with Alison and listen to her pleas. She insists that Charlotte is no longer a threat, and asks for their statements at the hearing to reflect that. The girls push back, but Alison’s disappointment is far more persuasive than her threats ever were. One by one, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily tell the judge that they are no longer afraid of Charlotte. Aria has prepared a similar statement, but abandons it to express her true feelings: she opposes Charlotte’s release. The final statement is made by Mona, who speaks about her empathy for Charlotte’s situation. The judge makes her decision, and Charlotte goes home with Alison. The liars meet up at The Radley for drinks. They congratulate Aria for her integrity, and the rest of the night is spent enjoying each other’s company. The next morning, Charlotte is found dead in the grass beneath the open window of the church bell tower. Alison is devastated and looks to Emily for comfort. Sara Harvey shows up to the funeral in a black veil and gloves. The liars discuss their culpability in something bad that happened to her. After the service, Lorenzo strongly advises the liars to stay in town for the investigation into Charlotte’s murder.
