Pretty Little Liars Original Sin (Ep 6-7):

Pretty Little Liars Original Sin Episode 6 opens up exactly where the last episode left off. Tabby confides her story about the night in the woods to Imogen; it is a painful hit. Noa continues to care for her mother after her big revelation resulted in the latter losing her job. Mouse’s everyday life seems to be threatened by the presence of Steve, who still remains a mystery to most, much like what Mouse was up to in the last episode.

As for Faran, she finally establishes her footing in Swan Lake, voices her strong opinions and makes sure her mother stops coercing her to fit into the concept of what is traditionally beautiful. Another interesting revelation in episode 6 comes from Faran’s mother receiving a note from A that rejuvenates her memory of Angela Waters from the past (much like Noa’s mother in the previous episodes). As for the topic of Angela Waters in the present day, Imogen and Tabby actively pursue the leads they get which offer some Pretty Little Liars and Riverdale references that fans will absolutely love.

With the arrival of Pretty Little Liars Original Sin Episode 7, things take a more drastic turn for Faran and Mouse as they both discover things that put them on a different track from where they wanna be. As for Noa and Imogen, things seem to really play out. Meanwhile, Tabby looks for a way to get the heavy incident in the woods off her chest. But, as the girls go on with their lives, undisturbed by A for a while, our spooky Halloween horror master shows up right on time to scare them all.

The recent episodes of Pretty Little Liars Original Sin seemed to be pretty laid back. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing but, with what the audience has been fed over the first five episodes, the latest two do seem like a downer. The absence of A for a while sure lets us focus on the girls’ life a little better. Especially, Faran and the relationship she shares with her mother.

Nonetheless, the mystery run seems to have taken a back seat. Tabby’s movie references, the mothers’ involvement and other intriguing aspects apparently seem to be put to rest for a while. The thrill is definitely missing in episodes six and seven but, it is still enjoyable to watch certain segments featuring Faran and the growing relationship between Imogen and Tabby.

Pretty Little Liars Original Sin Episode 6 and Episode 7: Final Thoughts

Overall, Pretty Little Liars Original Sin Episode 6 and 7 does a decent job to keep the mystery running. There are some interesting suspects one can point towards that could be A. With Tyler dead, we are sure left with the good guys, such as Chip to pin our darts on and it would be wild to see some good character coming clean about being evil all along.

However, it does make you wonder if the show has slowed down right at the centre to create a hunger for a second season or if it is going to turn into another Riverdale-like drama. The reason Original Sin has been a hit so far is that it does not shy away from being a slasher but, will it hold up to the expectations?

You can watch the Pretty Little Liars Original Sin Episode 6 and Episode 7 now on HBO Max.
