Since Pretty Little Liars is coming to a close this week, we decided to compile a list of the most outrageous storylines we've seen play out in Rosewood. We also asked members of BuzzFeed Community to help us out with the list. Here's what we came up with:
1. We spent five episodes thinking that Ezra had a son, but it turns out it wasn’t his, and we never heard of him again.
2. Toby got high off drug-laced gummy bears and ruined everyone’s chances of catching A.
3. Hanna had a ghost girl just hanging out in her house one Halloween and they never addressed it.
4. Mona hit Bethany with a shovel, thinking it was Alison. Melissa buried Bethany alive, thinking Spencer was the one who hit her. Then Charlotte hit ALISON with a shovel, thinking it was BETHANY. Then Mrs D buried Alison alive, to protect Charlotte. – shubatt
5. Also, Mrs D found her daughter “dead”, and before checking for a pulse or calling for help, she just buried her alive. – Amy
6. Noel Kahn literally chopped his own head off with an axe, and there was zero investigation or follow-up questions about it. – Jillian
7. Aria’s mom got attacked by bees in her car, without realising that she could've just opened the door and got out.
8. Toby somehow became a policeman overnight, even though he had a criminal record.
9. There was an entire town just down the road, filled with ghosts and magical fireflies? Or something.
10. Toby wore a du-rag to remind us all that he’s a hardened criminal.

13. Also, Ian was secretly filming underage girls, and keeping these illegal files on his desktop in folders with no protection, labelled things like “JENNA_TOBY”.
