The hit series returned with new episodes in June, which focused on a tumultuous friendship between Megan and Isabella (Lexi Underwood). Their love triangle with Luke Chambers (Griffin Gluck) — as well as his eventual death — have been at the center of the mystery.
Before the premiere of season 2, executive producer Michelle Purple teased that the characters were all part of the same universe.
